Re: Best, Worst and Strangest Police Cars While only a movie prop, how about a Saleen-modified Mustang for a police car? Sure, there's no black seats for putting people in, but it's just plain cool. [ATTACH=CONFIG]34405[/ATTACH] Note: Nothing suspicious about this. At all. [ATTACH=CONFIG]34403[/ATTACH] Or, alternatively, an East German Trabant, possibly the worst care ever made... jsut to be on the other end of the spectrum. [ATTACH=CONFIG]34404[/ATTACH]

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The party are fighting an evil druid and his animal minions, and have managed to whittle their numbers down to justh im and a very, very angry badger. Waffers: Can I throw the badger at him? Surpisingly enough, it worked. One of the other players is playing a deliberately creepy sorcerer. He's been using an off-key music box whenever he's speaking to enhance the effect, and it works. And thenm, when he's making a dramatic revelation... ...the box stops working. Ah well.

Re: Villains Campaign Being honest, I think the real problem here is the people you're playing with. Putting them into a different setting won't change anything; all I can conceiveably see it doing is encouraging them to be more of tools then they are now. I've been in this situation myself; in the end, I figured the best hting to do was to simply leave the game. Certainly it sounds like what you're going through with them isn't worth the grief.

Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Or, to quote from me while looking over the Hero 6E books: "There's a Gorilla in a waistcoat fighting Nazis on a Zepplin with jetpack cats. We need to be playing htis game NOW!"

Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Good idea: Robot Hero Bad idea: Gobot Hero Good idea: Zoids (the toyline/anime) Hero Bad idea: Zoids (the Golf Glub line) Hero (I mean, Zoids gives you giant robot monkeys with Jetpacks. How can you beat that?)

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From the Star Hero game: The Cast: Zog: the GM Lynn: Driver and mechanic from a Max Max like world (Played by me) Dewey: Alien cyborg librarian (Played by Fein) Hasp: Formerly a special forces soldier, now a zombie with a Robot brain (Played by Dr Sinn) Starstalker: Precognative Forensic Pathologist Sniper Pterodactyl. (Played by Butros) The team are on a covert operation to Lynn's homeworld to find the truth behind the actions of a renegade faction of the military and what they're doing here. The enemy are not supposed to kno we're here. Zog: So ro recap, last session you blew up an ice cream van and buried it under tons of rubble. Half the team is waiting at a base camp, when a random stranger literally walks right into it - moments after getting a report that the enemy knows where we are and have sent a unit to deal with us. Hasp begins chattign away with this stranger, explaining exactly what was going on and who the PCs are, as well as their mission. Fein: You are aware that he's an AI. The GM did mention that. Dr Sinn: He did? I must have missed that. Fein: I thought you were playing along as a part of some elaborate ploy Dr Sinn: Let's pretend I was. Fortuntely, at that point, Starstalker eliminated the problem with a well-placed shot. Me: Pterodactyl on the roof! (everyone carries on for a moment) Me: The Mezoic era saw a massive rise in school shootings. Lynn, has infiltrated the enemy’s forward camp where they are digging up a mysterious precursor artefact . Wearing an enemy uniform (The helmet of which completely obscures their face, of course), they sneak into the enemy’s command tent and sneak up on the commander, Colonel Hollis, who is the campaign’s big bad. Seeing a chance, I decide to do a bit of acting, and stick my finger into the GM’s back to mimic a gun. Lynn: You’re coming with me. He plays along, with Lynn acting all mysterious, like she’s from some ultra-secret government agency. She isn’t, but the 21 PRE attack (on 4d6!) has him acting along anyway. That is, right up until one of Hollis’ allies show up. They notice what I’m doing, and all hell breaks loose. Hollis manages to turn around and get a look at my character’s weapon. It’s at this point that I point out that I gave Lynn’s gun to one of the NPCs. That’s right; I wasn’t miming her sticking a gun in his back, I was miming her sticking her fingers in his back and pretending it was a gun. The thick gloves helped. Anyway , a fight ensued, with Lynn managing to actually get a rifle, then me delivering this line: “Now that I have a gun, I’ll threaten him again”

Re: The Ten Best Post-Apocalyptic Survival Vehicles Bonecrusher hates this list. That beign said, going zombie-squashing and sporking in a Bufflo MPV would be awesome. It's something that needs to be done.

Re: Morticus and other characters in Bunker Buster. The Golden Avenger and Silver Avenger are key parts of the Champions Lore; both are agents of PRIMUS. The Golden Avenger is the leader of their superhuman teams, while Silver Avenger is a collective "rank" of superhuman agents. Mayate Sanchez is a Silver Avenger. While I don't have the book at hand, Red Dawn from the winter guard reminds me of the Soviet battlesuits from Red Doom, but I don't know if he was actually taken from them. I don't recongise the others off the top of my head though.

Re: What's Up With These Protestors? (2 parts) Why protest? Well, frankly, with the Lolcat Brgud (and especially Skadi and Uglyhat), the best reason is probably colateral damage. Skadi likes to throw cars at villains. A lot. She also is rather casual sometimees with her strength, and tends to easily break things. That Ugly tends to be rather casual with anti-armour missiles probably doesn't help... What would they do about it? Probnably get Red Comet (the leader and a lawyer in her secret ID to boot) to make a statement and ask them to go away. While they are prone to comedic overkill, the Lolcat Brgud aren't gonna beat up innocent civillians. Of course, it may all be a part of a plot by their big-name enemy, Corporate Buyout. In that case, they'd be on the lookout for, members of CB's elite Super Legal Team hiding in the crowd.

Re: 7 Sci-Fi Series Ripe for Movie Reboots I'm sorry. The article lost all crediblity when it described Earth 2 as a "great series".

Re: List Your CO Nemeses! Having finished off Chilly McFreeze, Skadi has garnered even more enemies! http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Zaygorn <- Zaygorn, evil alien soldier warlord from deep space. Without pants. OH PLEASE GOD, PUT SOME PANTS ON http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=D._Zasterr <- Doctor D. Zasterr, a horribly mutated masd scientist with radiation powers. My alt, Knight Watch, is also fighting his first nemesis. Or would be if I ever played him. Ah well. http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Supremeus <- Supremeus claims to be the emporer of an alternate earth. Exiled to this one, he intends to conquuer it instead. Of course, its hard to verify his claims...

Re: Considering an Alt with Munitions. Ironically, Two Gun Mojo probably the most "iconic" munitions power is pretty worthless. My suggestion is Retcon it out as soon as you leave the start zone, and then replace it with Assault Rifle. Combining AR with Mow 'em down means you get pretty unlimited spray-time, and can chew up most on-level henchmen in nothing flat. For close ocmbat, you're better off simply spraying your ranged powers into their faceas then wasting time with Bullet Ballet.

Re: Vigilantee PC Skadi really, really dislikes vigilantes, especially the type that think that they're somehow "cool" or "edgy" by performing what are, in essence, criminal acts. She'd try to "convince" the kid to turn legit, then smack them aorund a bit and haul them in if they refuse.

Re: Dr. Destroyer Trilogy Epic. Really epic. Well done, sir!

Re: My Name Is Morty Skadi would watch him closely, just to make sure he isn't up to anything. And possibly to film anything that happens. Hey, she got famous off youtube; maybe somone else can too

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Vic (Victoria) Hagen. Sniper, madwoman. She claimed to be ex British Police, SO-19. She also claimed to have hunted dinosaurs and fought psychic Soviet clones on the moon, so yeah. Vic was played as being completely nucking futs. She had a five second attention span and her mind would wander with the slightest provocation. In fact, if she was actually focused on the task at hand, then it was a good day. Her idea of “hostage negotiation” was to shoot the guy holding the hostage. Fortunately, she was a very good shot. Most of the time. Some days, she spoke in cat macros. Other days, she was completely disconnected from the rest of the world. Her hobbies were shooting things, making things explode, shooting things and making them explode, being randomly British, tormenting her team-mates and giving the GM headaches. An evil organization once tried to brainwash her into joining their ranks. They gave up. She was driving the interrogators mad. She was also a complete combat monster and one of the most fun PCs I’ve ever played.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Should I explain? Or don't the nice people deserve it?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This one comes from a Spycraft game from many years back. The players had just met a contact in a Turkish café, only to have it turn into a bloodbath when a group of four thugs with shotguns burst in. Things turned silly when all four of the thugs rolled fumbles in a row, with one of them managing to blow his own head off. In the middle of this, the least combat-effective character has been hiding under the table GM: They’re more dangerous to themselves then they are to you Player: Anyone’s more dangerous to themselves then I am to them. And, on a related note, my sniper character manages to get three critical hits in a row in another battle: Sniper: This is almost as much fun as the time I went hunting dinosaurs. Bang! (Yes, Susano, that is the sniper you’re thinking of)

Re: The Envelope Skadi would call on at least one other member of the team before going to check it out. She'd still go, but she'd be at least want to be preparred for anyhting that hapens. But she secretly hopes a fight will ensue.
