Re: Women in Pulp adventures? Or yeah, you could, you know, do that....

Re: Women in Pulp adventures? Lara Croft is easily adaptable to Pulp games and is probably one of the best examples I can think of. Marguerite Krux from "The Lost World" TV series is another good pulp heroine. Veronica (the jungle femme) is also a good example, come to think of it (and hot, too!) It's a bit of a reach, but how 'bout Nancy Drew?

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Badical? Fantabulistic?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I recently discovered my credit score is a little lower than I thought, but I also discovered my home increased in value about 30% in the one year I've owned it (maybe more--waiting on official appraisal). I can only imagine how much it'd be worth if I actually mowed the lawn regularly.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. It's almost cliched to say "Nice!", "Good job!" or "Well done!" over and over again, but since you keep doing good jobs over and over again, I'll keep saying it. Nice! Good job! Well done!

Re: Which villain needs an overhaul? I hate to answer this question vaguely, but in essence almost all of them. By that I mean that it's rare that I can use a villain as is. I usually need to tweak something, even if only in a small way, to make him fit. By the same token, that tweaking is usually the addition or rearrangement of points. The main reason I do this is because I want at least one thing on the character sheet to be a surprise for those players who are familiar with the villain. As to which ones specifically need readjusting, I'm not qualified to answer as I rarely disect a villain if I'm not using him (and if I am, then I tweak him, as noted above). Lastly, I'm with Mitchell in that I miss the duos like Panda & Raccoon, Thunder & Lightning, Radar and Sonar. My favorite villain group of the past was the Ultimates, and I'd love to see a modern incarnation of that group (with Anklyosaur).

Re: Robot with an adamantium shell? Aah. I gotcha. 10x as strong in terms of STR is about 18 pts. Say 3.5 DC. It's probably reasonable to simply add 3-4 DEF to represent relatively stronger materials. Adjust the BODY by the thickness of the material. For example, if you make a normal 10 DEF/7 BODY wall out of NewSteel, and make it the same size, I'd conservatively give it 14 DEF and 10 (or more!) BODY. I don't have any hard and fast rules, but that's usually the way I think of material strength.

Re: Robot with an adamantium shell? I'm not sure what you're asking. You've already stated the differences: stronger with less density. What in-game aspects are you talking about? Are you asking what uses they could have? Sorry for being dense (I'll go get coffee now) but I'm just not understanding what you're asking.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "Hey, at least it's not escargot!" NT:Two TV shows that should not do crossovers/shared episodes.

Re: New Skill: Artistic Skills I've used a variation of that for years (even before the GGU), but that's the best version I've seen.

Re: Power Armor 'themes' A friend of mine built a Ragman type armor that was magical in origin. He drew strength from it, actual Armor, and a variety of other powers, all based around this suit of clothing & cloak made from patches that came from...something. Demons or mages or something like that. I always thought it was a nice variation on the powered armor origin, but I've not played anything like it myself. I usually stick to the stereotype Iron Man/Stingray.

Re: Power Armor 'themes' Biologically Engineered Offensive Weaponry, Operational Lifeform Function or Biologically Engineered Offense, Worldwide Operational Law enforcement Factor Or something. *shrug* Slow day at work.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat What? I'm on break!
