So its not a joke or troll? They actually have the Spanish word for black as an sub optimal race?

Thats just trash. 

I can play whatever but I prefer Hero as GM.

That is google now. They sprinkle your search with ads camouflaged as real search result. 

They are so bad at it now it can be seen but soon it wont be. Boycott Google.

I found this helpful diagram that really simplifies the relationships between the various measures:

 

Could be in funny pics too but its also creepy. 

Hopefully the people writing superhero movies and comics will learn from this.

Invasion USA is my guess. 

No matter if I am really real or not I am still real. Its just the nature of what is reality and what can be called real that would be changed.

I would be me.

Jerichos popularity wont diminish if he takes a loss or two for some new up and coming guys. The opposite is true.

Nobody watches Jericho to see him be the biggest asskicker in town. He is entertaining enough on his own win or loose.

I hope they ignore his celebrity status and put Jeff Hardy away for a long time.

No sympathy with drunk drivers.

Dont pin that on him.

Aryan is an ancient Indi tribe. The nazis stole the term along with other Indian cultural symbols when they cooked up their political system. 

There are no "Aryan" white people. If you use the nazi language you are empowering their view of the world just by association. 

My guess is that this guy flew under the radar for so long is that he is actually "striped"- A nazi sympathizer but not actually practicing. 

A cursory glance at his life gives me the impression of a man searching something. Perhaps a reason to indulge in authoritarian thinking. 

Never got into Tekumel. The world was based on a intergalactic tourist spot that fell into dark times? Did not like that background.

The setting was definitely not medieval Europe but based on a lot of other cultures. 

Which makes me think he might not have been a white supremacist nazi but rather a person who thinks along those lines like the "Dear Doctor" episode in Star Trek for instance. 

The basic nazi doctrine of that "someone has to die for others to live" thing.

Ah the famous American judge that banned disintegrations among the bounty hunters.

Recent provocative, hyperbolic statements and threats coming from Vladimir Putin, and his foreign affairs lapdog Sergey Lavrov, are atypical for Putin. He's normally measured and calculated in his public pronouncements. I'm starting to wonder if he's actually lost it and gone full-on megalomaniac.

 

Remember he is an old communist not only one of them but KGB the worst of the worst. 

He is complaining about Ukraine removing Lenin statues and hyping up his followers by saying "we will show them what de-communistifying means"

Also Russia is out of swift both France and USA are in support of that. And Elon Musk is setting up starlink there to give Ukrainians internet. Meanwhile some Russian goverment sites are down.

Just because its a war it does not mean we have to regress to being animals..

Isn't it a bit awkward when some pawn becomes a duplicate queen?

 

Just sayin'....

Its called marriage.

Maybe they will let him not have pancakes in his pants while he wrestles now.

In the movie Starlord were just some goof that fell into different adventures and had to be saved by his friends all the time. 

His chief virtue was that: "He is not a complete dick".

Starlords iconic status (if it is iconic at all) only exist to us the viewers, the rest of the universe sees him as a nuisance. 

Its not exactly a role that needs to be filled in the eyes of the people. This is a step down for the Black Panther character who popularity is about him being an African high tech king and hero. With the whole lost world aesthetic going on. If anything him going to space should lead to a Wakandan space empire like they have in the comics, not him being a rouge trading adventurer! No matter how much more successful he is at it than Quill was. Because Quill kinda suck. He has lots of flaws. His approach if you can even call it that have nothing in common with Tchalla at all and those two would definitively not go on similar paths. Black Panther in space should be something way grander and more epic than just "same as Quill but more successful".

I cant get over the fact that this is just executives playing around with different brands. 

And I tell you something else. While "What if" had lots of good stories over the years they also had a lot of bad and I think this "what if blue hat man put on a red hat"  kind of approach to stories infected the mainstream comics too and made them worse.

Time travel- Alternative dimensions - Alternative timelines - All mean two things. We are going away from the streets. "The world outside your window" and we are just getting the same characters over and over again just in different variations. These two factors wounded the comics long before the usual suspects came along to finish them off. A wound I suspect did a lot more damage than the casual observer thinks.

A portal gun.

But I have a rules question about Spider-Man teaching the Beyonder how to go to the bathroom....

No! NOOO!

In my fantasy campaign I add some extra pd to padded just to stop blunt and impact damage like that.

Lots of good thoughts here, I think in general that padded armour is indeed underated.
