Re: character with wish granting powers I wish that tray would get out of the way!

Re: Hagar the Horrible How about Lucky Eddie? Is he a DNPC? Follower?

Re: Your PCs might be Underpowered if... ...anyone else's pen really is mightier than their sword.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Night of the Living Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Steve Martin manages to ruin even this film.

Re: Russian Terminator You don't want to know!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Once had a female player who didn't know the difference between "crutch" and "crotch." "I'll steal his crotch!" was not the worst one.

Re: Whoops! Did I really allow that power? Wasn't there a movie about giant ants?

Re: your pcs might be OVERPOWERED IF... Buxom Gal asks you were you get your bras. Hey, its The Most Common Superpower!

Re: Russian Terminator Cool. Would been funnier if it was 80's neo-nasties building one to send back time to 1942 Stalingrad of Leningrad.

Re: Real Crimefighters Like The Wall Creeper? Um, is this Real World? Or not, what's the source?

Re: Jupiter Impact!!?! Is this related to the black spot on Mercury? Maybe "beauty spots" are now fashion with the planets.

Re: Hagar the Horrible "Horns fall off"???? Say what??

Re: your pcs might be OVERPOWERED IF... ...you flex your biceps, and the air wave knocks people over. ...including the guy with 50 points of Density Increase.

Re: Name this PC - please? Libra, for the Scales of Justice. I assume though the process let him down, he still believes in the concept of justice. Also, it gives a couple ways he can mislead bad guys where his powers come from. I always like names like that.

Re: Superpowers and the Law We start from Chapter Two of fourth edition Dark Champions. Makes it simple. The Good Samaritan laws have real teeth; you almost can't be sued if your helping someone, even if you goof. Only if "a reasonable person" would know you were really doing dumb. A jury can demand to here or see any evidence the judge barred them from seeing or hearing. A jury has the right to know everything brought up as evidence. "Not guilty by reason of insanity" means the defendant is unable to take care of himself at all, and must be PERMANENTLY put in a "home" for dangerous crazies. No "temporary insanity," no "cannot conform actions to the law," none of that. He's either too crazy to take care of himself at all, ever, or he's sane enough to take the punishment. "What is sapient?" --- thumbnail definition: if it can debate the question, it is sapient. Others if I think of them.

Re: Your PCs might be Underpowered if... They leave a set of clothes at the temple were they get resurrected. (just like Crushed!) OK, it's fantasy not superheroes I hope that's OK.

Re: Mottos for use in games What book that?

Re: character with wish granting powers You can look at it that way of course. But if the wish granter hands a pile of money, or a fast car, that's not the same as the money perk or the vehicle perk. I look at it like you don't have to pay points for mundane things. I guess I'm used to Normal-Level games. Its all good. Its just a different point of view.

Re: Zombie Horror Survivor (Left4Dead)? Man, I'm sorry I said anything. Oh, and I must of been 90% asleep to forget why its all about head shots. I know that, really, I just went brain dead. That's not the best thing to say in a zombie conversation is it.

Re: Whoops! Did I really allow that power? Fellow not much experienced with Hero asked me about a character; lucky him, I spotted this combo, and it got nixed: Rapid Autofire Rapid Attack Skipover Sprayfire Combat Skill Levels, +2 OCV with one particular type of autofire weapon (4 points) +4 Penalty Skill Levels vs. Rapid Fire OCV penalties. (6 points) It would not have been quite a game-breaker, but it did mean the character would be too effective with autofire. Give him Set and Brace, and his target would be full of holes, period.

Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Good (?) idea: Luche Libra Hero Bad idea: Redneck Wrasslin' Hero

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares She's a crazy woman who fell hard in love for a guy even crazier. When he's put in jail for life, she heads to the Wild West, where she works as a doctor. It's Harley Quin, Medicine Woman.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... No context--- "This town's not big enough for the 12 of us!" "Don't the suburbs count?" "Yes, but no higher than 10."
