Re: Star Wars: Technological Stagnation? One of my favorite things about the starwars genre is that Luke can say: I am going tto the Dagoba system hop into his X-wing and fly there. Mark me down as in the "starwars is fantasy" camp.

Re: Artwork needed: Cat people. Not a commission, but Googling "cat person" is scar My favorite cat folk picture is on the cover of the module: rage of the rakasta. The module is good too.

Hello two questions showed up in my star hero campain from the player who play the scientist. The first question was "why does gravity work?" First I would like a suggestion for a sci-fi reason, and then what kind of research it would take for his scientist to figure it out. The other question was "Is there vacuum in space?" But don't worry I had a answer for that one.

Re: Human Manufacturing: Is It Effective Slavery? Yes its slavery. The clones who are engineered for a special task have the genes that makes you want to do other tasks removed. This is brainwashing. Just because the brainwashing does not always take does not make any less evil. The clones in the star wars saga were slaves since they were not paid. And most likely had their genes messed with to make them perfect soldiers. The Jedi got what they deserved to use slave soldiers and it also answer the questions about why the jedi allowed the slave trade on tatoonie, the jedi protect the peace they dont care about slavery. The only one who showed some democratic spirit was Obi Wan.

Re: WWE Snark-Free Zone I just read the book "Undisputed" by Chris Jericho it is very good. He tells stories from WWE and his rockband however its mostly wrestling and meeting celebrities stories. For hard core wrestling fans there is also his thoughts about benoit, a blow by blow first hand story about the time he fought Goldberg and a lot of insight into how the WWE works. Its a funny well written story of his life. I recommend it.

Re: Bollywood Action Movie Insanity Bollywood movies got good and nobody told me? This action scene was not insane at all it was just an horde of magnetic super robots makes perfect sense in an superheroic campaing.

Re: Where do gangsters get pool babes? Drugs. Gives you energy to train to get nice body. Makes you lazy and stupid.

Re: Is Defender the new Seeker? Seeker rocked! He was like the Crocodile hunter and a Ninja rolled into one. I think the Seeker hate stems for him being the most popular hero among casual champions players back in the fourth edition days. Personally I think the entire Champions team back then both looked cool and had a great personality. I got the impression that each character had been made by a different player or at least with a different player in mind. The rewrites and increased "darkness" has not really gotten me hooked the same way I am sorry to say. I cant really see why a Batman homage with a beak on his head is more realistic or cool than an Australian, bare-chested ninja in puffy white pants. Oh well its too late now.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Lots of cool pictures from Russia a hundred years ago. Great for rpg inspiration both fantasy, steampunk and pulp. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html

Re: Commando Hero If you want the players to focus more on the game rather than play "grand theft auto hero". Base the villain group of something they dislike in real life and just exaggerate it. Also if they play nice and have honorable characters let it show in game by some npc's being impressed and admire them. Also tell them that your not going to write an story or adventure just for them to play out their destructive impulses, they can do that with video games. Tell them what you want, they will have to listen or be game master themselves. Last but not least make sure you got several types of goons and don't be afraid to make some of them weak, 8 body and no armour is perfectly acceptable when the players are using 9mm guns. One of the most frustrating things in Dark Champions can be that its so difficult to shoot people.

Re: Cloak of Belief (Faith) Distinctive features: Religion and adherence to the faith. OAF cloak.

Re: Malthesitic Fantasy Universes How about a beastly god who is not allpowerfull but used magic and scienece to create humanity as food and slaves for his most favored children. The children could make great villains both boss monsters in the form of demons or huge dragons and evil races in the form of corrupt decadent elves or blood crazy orks. Or you could just make up your own children species. Some children might even turn away from their corrupt kin and god.

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated I just continued the example I gave above of theoretical play of the hero system without any setting. I thought the idea was hilarious.

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated "Your characters use their movement to approach a couple of hundred of bases. Npc's moves back and fourth between them occidental using their wealth perk to get temporary powers through different focuses. A group of npc's with visible hand killing attack approach you. They make it clear that you will follow the community predominate psychological limitations, or you will get a hunted limitation." LoL! LoL!

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated LoL this guy does not understand the diffrence between setting and rules hahahahahaha. Think of it if we actually played the herosystem withouth setting LOL! "My character will attack enemy 42 with a 3d6-1 killing attack, using my killing attack power" Thats funny!

Re: suggestions for OHID trigger? I second "sight of blood" if not that then "sight of predatory smile".

Re: Manhunt: The Greatest Game On Earth Cool names and backstory.

Re: Manhunt: The Greatest Game On Earth Maybe the lowlife stalkers can get a demeaning nickname? Something like the Dregs or Scum?

Re: Manhunt: The Greatest Game On Earth I think atleast some Stalker gangs would go for the easy points and those who do have their own fandom.

Re: Lucha Libre: El Vetica His amazing typing skills have given him fingerstrenght of a hundred secretaries: hand attack 2t6 autofire 10 shot. str does not add. only on a prone opponent.

Re: Waking up with not-so-super powers Then its not annoyance but psycholgical torture. It would just be annoying.

Re: The Everquest Taunt My first idea was to buy this as an distinctive features disadvantage.

Re: Waking up with not-so-super powers I would like the annoyance stare. Kind of like Ghost riders penance stare where he makes the victim feel all the sins they have committed but much weaker and only make them feel all the annoyance they have created for others instead.

Re: The Ultimate Base That is good. When will it be out?

Re: The Ultimate Base Will it be possible for two or more players to create their own nations and then fight on a turn per turn basis?
