Re: The Spy Factory You have too much information if you can't process it. Which is what happened with the Towers.

Re: Fantasy Art Thread Yay, more pix to steal be inspired by!

Re: Fantasy Art Thread Wow, more excellent-cool stuff. I love this thread!

Re: Brink Of War Try out the Garrett Files series of books. They got something like this.

Re: Utter humiliation power That's what I was going to say. But only not with the puns.

Re: Underpowered tropes? Shapechangers come in three kinds: 1) Those with Ult. Mmorph "Simple Shapeshift" 2) Those who take Sshift against all the sense Groups and every "unusual" sense they can think of, and get the GM to promise not to throw "Detect (some BS or other)", and have no points left to be effective with 3) Those that buy a few Groups and either A) Get detected in the first 3 minutes of every scene and are hosed Aren't really metamorphs, their "Mr. Fantastic" clones. IOW, building someone who TURNS INTO something/someone else leaves your PC with nothing else s/he can do, or means your no good at it. Unless you can talk bribe your GM into using the best part of Ult. Mmorph.

Re: Horror Hero: Handling SANity I understand you folks that complain about players that don't "get it." Cause I'm one of them. I want to play in a horror seting where the PCs get used to it. First time: ACKKK! Second and third times: EEK! Fourth, fifth sixth times: Oh no! More of them! Sevth time onwards: OK, it's bad, but we can handle this. Don't get cocky. But that's not what most GMS like horror want. So it goes...

Re: Powerless

Re: UN Supers headquarters They're good because they're in Central Asia, which you don't have nobody for in your list (below). Also, Ukraine is very tied up to Russia; Putin could forbid any team in Ukraine and make it stick. You need either South Asia or Central Asia. New Dehli or Tashkent/Dushanbe/Bishkek. Jakarta isn't too good. Muslim extremists are getting more and more in Indonesia. I still think Singapore's better. I still think you need a team somewhere middle-ish Pacific.

Re: Perks and negative cost Lisa: can you please tell me where the "must pay at least one point" is? In 5th ed not v5.5 if you can? Please?

Re: UN Supers headquarters Question: what kind of transportation do they get? Do they all fly themselves? Anti-gravity packs that allow Mach 5+ and can land anywhere the person fits? "Day after tomorrow" tech VTOL jet? Regular ol' airplanes? The slower the flight the more stations you need. The more landing room needed the poorer the response and the more need for a good airport. "China, EU, Japan, Russia and USA" should have at least "contact point" stations. Also, Russia is still a kleptocracy, so try your best to get a full station in there. At least get a station in one of the other CIS countries. One with an independent attitude is best. I'm gonna assume you want about two per continent, three for Asia. Toronto. You need something to handle Canada. Mexico City. For the other end of North America. Rio de Janero. Handles southern South America. Caracas. Handles northern South America. Caracas and Mexico City overlap in Central America. Geneva, Switzerland: Switzerland is not in the EU, not likely to join, but is in the UN. Lets you put a station in Europe the EU can't whiine about. Cairo. Much better for northern Africa than Lagos (Nigeria's not the most stable or safe country). Johannesburg? Gabronne, Botswana? Walvis Bay, Namibia? Maybe even Madagascar? There's no really good choice in southern Africa. Ankara, Turkey. Handles eastern Asia, assists in southeast Europe. Better than Istanbul, as that still has overtones of the Sultan and the Ottoman Empire, esp. in Turkey. New Delhi, India. Handles central and southern Asia. Not the safest place, but better than it's naighbors. Singapore. Handles east and southeast Asia. Or, Manilla, The Philippines, though thats getting a bit away. If you hadn't said no Japan, I'd put it in Tokyo. Jakarta's getting a bit away, and it's not as safe and stable as it used to be. Perth, Australia. Handles most of Australia. Wellington, New Zealand. Overlaps in Australia, mostly handles the Pacific. Notes: How stable is Venezeuala? Do you really want a major UN station there? Think about not putting stations in capital cities. Might go better with locals. If there's a country in eastern Europe that's not likely to join the EU, you might put a station there. If you get a station in Tashkent, Uzbekistan or Dushanbe, Tajikistan or Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, that would be better than New Delhi. You might want another station in the Pacific. Maybe in the Marquesas Islands. After all, there's a lot of area to cover.

Re: Powerless "No more supervillains! My work is... OK not quite done. I don't have those gadgets, but I'm still a private eye, and one of the best. I'm not the ultra-wiz at deduction, but the people I'll be hunting aren't as smart either. Comes to about the same. Except I don't have the big name, so its back to hustling up biz. Did it before, can do it again." ---------------------------------------------------------------- No longer exists, as a world w/o superpowers would never have - - - - - created - - - - - her, and cannot sustain her. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Would not have come to Earth, would still be living on Stebbius.
