  1. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? I am listening to the soft breeze the heat pump makes, and the pulling of the fibers as the cat, lounging across the back of my chair, shifts position, and the hum from my computer. Is restful here today.
  2. Re: A Thread for Random Musings I thought I had something to say, but I just realized that I don't, not really. Guess I'd better go walk the dog...
  3. Re: A Thread for Random Musings I don't want to get up. I don't want to go to work. I had a lovely Sunday. Why can't I have another one instead? Phoo.
  4. Re: A Thread for Random Musings Bed time. I think I will sleep tonight. That's always nice...
  5. Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Ya know, I didn't even think y'all would notice I'd gone, then I read this thread. Thanks. I appreciate that. All the more so as I'm feeling very inferior right now, as I can't do half the things any one of you can do. I feel appreciated now, though.
  6. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? The washing machine filling up. How peaceful...
  7. Re: Trying to run a game for my old GM -- Hmm... I sense that I will need to read the books to get a better idea about what powers are available. I mean, picking the players' brains will destroy all sense of suspense, and I'm looking for it to be interesting... I already have one bad guy thought of, and the GM said he'd help with that one (it's a clone of one of my heroes, only, after she has enought points to build her properly, and yes, she has one major susceptibility already built in). And there were other ideas I've had that would work better for villians than heroes anyway, now that I think about it. Maybe I'll dig them out too. Ya know, this might actually get off the ground. Thank you! I hope I can come back if I think of more questions.
  8. Re: Trying to run a game for my old GM -- This is actually what I had in mind when I asked for help, and thank you. A suggestion for what to look for, and where I should be paying attention. That's what I'm hoping to find. Thanks again!
  9. I am seriously considering running a Champs game for a while. I have run Storyteller games for years, so I know how to do the story part and the running part. There are at least two rules-mongers in the group I game with, so an exact understanding of all the rules seems to me to be unnecessary. I could be mistaken, but please don't let's descend into a brangle on this topic. I've been playing Champions for years, so there's a basic understanding of the rules. I doubt I have microscopic knowledge, though. The question I have, and this might not be the best place for it, concerns creating characters, both bad guys and good guys. In the past, I've told the GM what type of character I wanted to make, and together we built what I had in mind. Now if I do that when I build the bad guys (rely on my old GM for help, I mean), I'll never be able to surprise the player who was once the GM. What do you look at when you build a bad guy? If you're building for a group of champions, it seems that you need to look at what the good guys can do and so on, for the power level, if for nothing else. But I don't want to make a team (or several teams) of bad guys that have all the attacks the good guys are vulnerable to and none of the weaknesses their powers affect -- talk about cheating. I also don't have any idea about how to create a stable of bad guys and teams without repeating the same formula ad nauseum and without taking unfair advantage of the players weaknesses. I think I'd do better to create at least one team of villians first, before I even suggest that I run a game. That way I won't have to constrain myself by constant referrals to the good guys' character sheets. I don't even know whether that's a good idea or a bad one. I mean, what am I looking at? Where do I start? Any suggestions? Or even, point me somewhere else that this has been discussed, and I'll go read there. Thank you!
  10. Re: A Thread for Random Musings By the way, and just as an aside, did you know that if you regularly play Sims2, you do strange things with your sims? I mean strange like green skin with blue scales, and bald, and naming them Will Zornish... Of course, the alien babies are kinda cute too... Will Zornish has a wee girl child with alien eyes and no hair yet. She'll grow up soon. Dang, I'm peculiar.
  11. Re: A Thread for Random Musings Wow. Just, wow. It's been some kinda one crazy year. I do not want to do that again. Ever.
  12. Re: Musings on Random Musings My favorite was always a clutter of cats, but I think that's a real one. How about a scatter of aspirin? Well, that's what always happens to me when I try to get the dang tamper-evident seal off the bottle...
  13. Re: A Thread for Random Musings Lebanese belly dancers. Was that random enough?
  14. Re: Answers & Questions Q: What is the meaning of 42? A: 1,892,411 green ones, and a plastic razor blade.
