In the CU, there could be a Galaxar(the Lover? the Seducer? the Paramour? ) who fits that role. They all have 300-500 point VPPs, plus usually a multipower representing their "specialty". The main decision you'd have to make as a GM is just how seductive/effective they are at what they do. Is it all PRE-attack and skill-based? Do they have a superhuman level of skill? Do they use mind-control or emotion-control type powers? The interesting thing is if they try to seduce a PC--does the PC regard it as unwelcome romantic attention(of a cosmic nature), or as an extraordinary opportunity to experience something few beings in the universe do? You could also do something similar with a terrestrial deity notorious for their conquests--the prime example, of course, being Zeus/Jupiter.

megaplayboy Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her I have a seemingly endless "to do" list for this thread/project, but it boils down to: 1. more character writeups 2. genre/sub-topic notes(maybe a dozen bullet points apiece, 20 topics) 3. copying and pasting everything into a word doc, then turning it into a usable pdf #3 includes giving credit where it's due, so if you want to give me a "boost", feel free to collect all your own contributions and PM them to me, so I can put them in their own section for now. I'm juggling a bunch of real world stuff--work, job-hunting, guitar practice--along with working on this and the sourcebook on running Epic superhero campaigns, so needless to say, it's taking a bit longer than I expected.

megaplayboy Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her I'm mostly working on the Epic supers sourcebook stuff right now, but haven't forgotten about this. I will try to put up an Avatar writeup(not the movie) next week and will start pasting stuff from this thread into a doc and convert to pdf for posting and review.

phoenix240 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her It's not a bad book. There's some interesting content about mating, marriage and sexuality among different D and D races, mechanics and useful table if you want to include more material in that vein. Unfortunately, the book gets allot of flack about things that aren't actually in it as well as being compared (very undeservedly IMO) to F.A.T.A.L.

AmadanNaBriona Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her Perhaps better suited to this forum than A Thread For Random Musings: PLAYBOY Advisor Q: How strong is the penis? -R.T., New York, New York A: How strong do you need it to be? Thanks to kung fu grandmaster Tu Jin-Sheng of Taiwan, aka The Iron Crotch, we know a flaccid human penis can pull at least 8,100 pounds without being torn off. That's the weight of the rental truck Tu moved in 2005 with a rope tied around his penis and testicles. (He did a second pull using only his testicles, setting a record there as well.) Tu has also moved an 8,000 pound airplane and hopes to someday organize a group tug of a 747. He claims his most accomplished students can break ice blocks and cut coconuts. Please don't try this at home- and never while erect; it involves specialized training that involves squatting with weights swinging between your legs. "Penis training is often ridiculed in the martial arts," writes Gene Ching of Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine. "But as Tu sees it, people train every other part of your body except their sexual organs." There is a higher purpose: Tu claims penis qigong, besides improving sexual stamina, can treat diabetes, arterial blockages, allergies, earaches and other ailments. Women can practice the method by inserting into their vaginas a ball attached to a rod on which weights are attached. This makes it possible, for the first time, for a female to be well-hung. The Truck pull video is well worth hunting down. I've kinda let my training slack... I was up to 50 lbs (hoisting an anvil was my best trick) when I was in form, which puts me firmly in the "wimpy lightweights" side of the Iron Crotch spectrum.

Xavier Onassiss Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Re: The "Essay"(ESSE/UEH) Project(Warning: mature/controversial content contained her I've been playing some serious catch-up with this thread, since I'm actually thinking of following through on my little April Fools' joke. I'm impressed with all the work that's been put into this already. There's lots of stuff here that'll be useful for writing up XXXSWAT: Special Squad NC-17. One trope I'm considering for use is Clothing Damage and I'm wondering if rules for that would be appropriate to this thread, or if they've already appeared here?

Research of Cinemax After Dark movies wouldn't hurt either. JG Okay, I found SuperBabes, but their use of "Clothing Damage" as a result of "Bimbo Points" wasn't really what I had in mind. To be more specific, I'm thinking of working up some rules for the occurrence of Clothing Damage in combat, and its effects. I was thinking of adding defenses as more skin gets exposed, as in the GURPS advantage Bulletproof Nudity (yeah, they've got that) which would work much like the Combat Luck talent, and/or added levels of Striking Appearance. Added DCV is also a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work; I'll probably simplify it to keep combat moving quickly. Another option I considered was using the Accidental Change complication; if a hit location takes damage there's a chance of clothing getting ripped. (Depending on the clothing: 8- for resistant DEF, 11- normal defense, 14- for anything with a zero DEF) Again the Combat Luck w/Trigger would come into play. Obviously the same location couldn't be affected twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
