Doomsday how BP gulf disaster may have triggered a world killing event Now couple that with the Russian idea to Nuke the wellhead. Not only do you have poison gases and tidal waves to worry about, you would also have radioactive fallout on a scale never seen in millions of years. The complete gulf area would be completely cleared of life. You would have extreme Global warming that would make this year look like winter. The tidal waves would possibly reach Europe and Africa. It might even set off the Madrid fault line causing a massive Earthquake in the Midwest. This would make a great Post Apocalypse campaign.

Asides from the obvious pick of Regeneration (recovering from dropped anvils, great falls, dynamite in the face, etc), what other traits would suit your run-of-the-mill Looney Tunes type cartoon character?

I ran a short (and heavily combat-centric) game in which each player had a different armoured 'battle-suit', carrying a variety of rockets, lasers, mobility powers and HTH weapons. All they did was fight their way into an unmanned production facility, defeating automated defences and autonomous sentry robots, while reloading and up-arming their suits from the debris and equipment they found. None of the players realised (or they didn't say if they did), but it was tightly based on a popular platform video game of the period (late '80s I think). It collapsed in an unwieldy heap because I was trying to use the old ICE Tech Law combat system, scaled down (and sideways) for t…

<> Been looking thru my various files and links for websites (ie: Surbrooks Stuff, GNBORH, etc) and I can't seem to find any versions for the crew of Section 9 from "Ghost In The Shell" (and related stories). Anyone have any lead/links for them ? I'm specifically seeking versions built with 5thEd(revised) but anything would be great. I could have sworn that there was once a version of Maj Kusanagi posted somewhere but...... Thanks. -Carl-

Posting here as I suspect it has multi-genre potential: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20100730/sc_livescience/antarcticaexperimentdiscoverspuzzlingspaceraypattern From the article: "Cosmic rays are highly energetic particles streaming in from space that are thought to originate in the distant remnants of dead stars. But it turns out these particles are not arriving uniformly from all directions. The new study detected an overabundance of cosmic rays coming from one part of the sky, and a lack of cosmic rays coming from another." -Carl-

My GM is going to run an Urban Fantasy type game in a couple of days and I have a problem. I can't think of anything to play, seriously nothing. So I'm hoping that the people of the boards can give me some ideas or suggestions that can be made on 150 points. The group is composed of a mystic detective (like Dresden), a heavily armed street vigilante, a hacker with possibly Technomancy spells (player says there is something special about the character but won't say what), and a ninja with various mystic abilities. The GM has stated that the game will be like the Dresden series of books, with magic existing in a sort of secret underground subculture in Hudson City…

Stepping out of the time stream with his G-10 Gauss Assault Rifle at the ready, Slipstream appeared behind the corporate traitor and put two rounds into his head. The traitor’s body collapsed into a heap on the ground. Slipstream could hear movement coming from behind him and felt his body tense up as he stepped back into the time stream. All around him, he could feel the confused Underworld goons trying to get the drop on him. They could have if he didn’t use his gifted abilities of being able to move forward into the time stream two to six seconds at a time. He maneuvered behind an Underworld goon with his rifle at the ready and stepped out of the time …

Seriously, I'd like to see someone stat up the A-130U and A-10 aircraft. They seem excessively kick-ass for something in use by the Army. I'm not really a military tech-geek, so I defer to others more savvy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AC-130 The AC-130 is basically a flying fortress that fires a howitzer out of the side of the aircraft, like a freakin' flying General Lee or something. General characteristics * Crew: 13 o Officers: 5 (pilot, copilot, navigator, fire control officer, electronic warfare officer) o Enlisted: 8 (flight engineer, TV operator, infrared detection set operator, loadmaster, four aerial gunners) …

I saw the thread by The_Patriot where he placed the beginning of a short story in this subforum. I was considering doing likewise. Is this the proper place for such things? Is there a proper place for such things? If no one knows, where would I find the answer? Thanks in advance, Edge

Saw this while browsing the Technovelgy website and thought instantly of statting it out for modification and eventual inclusion into a campaign. Maybe when my Star Hero campaign starts up again? In any case, I thought it could be applied to a lot of settings and was too good not to share. The character file can be found here. [ATTACH=CONFIG]36510[/ATTACH]

What do you guys think of a campaign type based on the Hanna Barbara cartoons of the 70s? Scooby Doo, Jabberjaws, Josie and the Pussycats (J&tP in Outer Space). I'm sure there are a couple more I'm forgetting too. Important tropes: 4-5 Teenagers Animal Mascot The Van (submarine, spaceship, etc) Hijinks A heroic level campaign, probably just normals and buying equipment for money. You would probably want to stretch each episode over a couple of sessions.

Alyssa stood at the opening to her small cell while looking at her surroundings warily. She stood four foot eleven inches tall and weighed 85 pounds with barely enough meat on her bones to cover her sparse skeletal frame. Her long brown hair and beautiful white teeth had fallen out a long time ago from malnourishment because her captors would only feed her enough food to keep her alive, barely. Something was different about today as if the air had changed. Outside her cell door stood two of her jailers wearing military grade heavy power armor with one carrying a shock prod and the other armed with a laser rifle. Both weapons were aimed at her chest. Sensing the hatr…

My most recent HeroMachine 3.0 creation was Grace Unterbrandt, a post-apocalyptic zombie-hunting one-woman crematorium on wheels. And after coming up with a pic like that, there was just no way I wasn't going to do a character sheet to match. Thumbnail pic and character sheet below. I'm still working on the 'background' fields. The short version: she's an ex-biker who left her old gang and took up a crusade against the undead. She's temporarily settled down at a remote truck stop on Hemlock Hill, where the regulars feel her zombie-killing prowess outweighs her shady past and reputation for blowing things up.

One of the (IMO) neatest ideas in the old World of Darkness [WoD] role-playing game Wraith: The Oblivion {WtO] is the idea that objects of importance to someone that are destroyed in the Mortal World (called the Skinlands in that setting) take on reality in the reflection of the Mortal World that the dead inhabit (called the Shadowlands). These objects are called relics, and represent one of the few actual resources of the game -- since the only thing in the Shadowlands is dead people, there's not really a lot else to barter with. If you felt a big attachment to the watch that your wife gave you just before she died, when you go, your dead self (your Wraith character) mig…

Just curious. Either I dreamed it or I remember seeing a proposed feature before the game was released that would allow characters created within the Champions Online MMO to be saved/printed as a Hero Games 6th Edition RPG character with all their powers ready to be played in some way (I am sure there would be some tweaking needed like adding complications and some power limitations). Is this something that may be real or am I just all hopped up on goofers?

Heard a favorite old song on the radio over the weekend, and it inspired me with an idea for a Post-Apocalyptic Hero scenario I definitely have to run at a con sometime: EAST BOUND AND DOWN The boys are thirsty in New Atlanta, and there's beer in the Republic of Texarkana. Can your group of adventurers safely get a truckload of valuable suds through the radiation-blasted, mutant-infested wastelands in between?

I was wondering out loud about how difficult it would be to do a Talislanta to Hero conversion on the Yahoo Talislanta list. I love Talislanta, but I also enjoy Champions as well. It was suggested that someone on the Hero list may be intrigued enough to take on such a project. The Talislanta website (http://www.talislanta.com) has all of the Tal books as downloadable legal free PDFs so source material would not be hard to find. I do not know if anyone would take this up and I'm not a supreme Hero system guru. But I do admit it would be pretty cool to see.
