Did someone post an updated Shamrock somewhere? I could've sworn I saw one once... If not, no biggie, but I figured I'd ask.

Re: Answers & Questions

Re: A Hero Shopping List I gotta say that I'll probably buy everything they publish. I'm a sucker that way, and I wanna do my part in ensuring they stick around for another 20 years. As a side note, I'm currently awaiting delivery of the near-legendary "Strike Force", won just the other day on eBay for a paltry $26 + s/h. I've never seen it, but after almost two years of hype on these boards it seemed a must-have.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Why are you questioning my bump when I'm awaiting a post for Ballistic and/or Black? Besides, I'm alternating vices right now. Work, check boards, catchup on email...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Like, bump, and stuff...

Re: Updated Website!!! Pfft. Still no Morningstar on the site. Well done, Mr. Boddie, and as always, enjoyin' the art, Storn.

Re: Greatest American Hero type character???? I usually RP the inexperience of my hero rather than try and use disads or limitations to show it. For example, a rough landing that has little game affect but probably looks funny (well it would if you could see it). Or a sudden energy blast that hits the target and leaves the PC standing there looking at his smoking hands thinking, "Wow. Did I do that?" Then again, the best way to simulate such things is to have the GM control the character sheet so the player must learn as he goes. I'm in a game now that's doing that, and while much more serious than GAH it's still a lot of fun when we learn something new.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Um...no...well, kinda. But now I've noticed that the little bouncing emoticon is roughly in time with the...um...them. So now the rest of my day is pretty much shot.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I...um....uh.... ...

Re: Champions vs. Mechanon I gotta go with the write-up. If they say Mechanon's mind is evolved enough to classify as 'human' in terms of psionic powers, that's good enough for me.

Re: Champions vs. Mechanon Understood. Differing ideas of how "overconfident" could/should be played seems to be the key, here. No big deal.

Re: Champions vs. Mechanon Respectfully, tactics does not require the use of the "tactics" skill. I meant "tactics" in the "here's what I'm gonna do" sense. Also, imagine you're playing one of the team that's going up against Mechanon. He gives you first shot, turning on his defenses and making sure that you can't hit him if at all possible. Everyone on your team makes their best effort and...nada. Zip. Zero. Mechanon still stands. It can be disconcerting, at the very least, and downright disheartening to the point of giving up. Especially when he starts taking out your teammates at will, one by one. I think it's definitely in keeping with the genre. Dr. Doom and Ultron both have used the "hit me with your best shot" tactic followed by "is that all you have?" I do agree that FtF gaming might have brought out the "color" more, but I still think it was a fairly representative combat simulation.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Hey, I'm not judgin'...I'm just sayin'....

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Issued like a true manager...

How do y'all handle this? If someone is playing a multiform, it seems reasonable to divide any experience between the two forms appropriately. If the "base" form is predominant in a particular scenario, that's where the xp goes. If the "alternate" form is predominant, the xp goes there. If it's back and forth, split appropriately. But is that reasonable? Should the "base" form receive all the xp, buying up the "alternate" form? If so, how does on justify the increase in power for the alternate form? Thoughts? Ideas? Help?

Re: Need (More) Help With Marvel Age Game Simple psychological blocks in a similar vein to the "items of reverence". In their subconscious they know it's not their home and it's an invasion of sorts, so they cannot enter without encountering more of the pain and disorientation derived from the feedback you mentioned.

Re: Why play Fantasy Hero over other fantasy games?

Re: Naked Advantage Question Regardless of how you do it, I'd enforce the fact that it's his powers and his powers only that he's immune to, not "similar effects". If he can use fire, ice and electricity, he's immune to his own fire, ice and electricity blasts, not all fire, ice and electricity blasts. Just my too sense.

Re: Killing Charachters/Villians in your games. Do you do it? Nearly all the campaigns I've run and most of the games I've played in have had a very low mortality rate. On occassion a PC will do something so incredibly stupid that the GM can't get 'em out of it with any sort of realism, and the PC dies. I've also been on both sides of an arrangement between player and GM where the PC is killed as part of the story line, usually as a way to get the player out of the game (by request) or so they can bring in a new character. Villains almost never die, but if they do (and it has to be pretty definite) there are consequences. Even my "killer" PCs tend to not kill villains very often. There's always a getaway clause somewhere.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Heh..."Iron Squid". That's not a bad name for a villain. Maybe for a Wuxia-style campaign or something.
