Re: Gestalt: Architects of Change: What Would *You* Like to See I just want to see it released in Australia.

Re: What do you get when you cross a gorilla and a luchador? Words cannot contain how much win this has. I must use it now.

Re: The Golden Apple Skadi would likely turn the files over to PRIMUSV or, failing that, the proper authroities of the country of origin. She wouldn't read them after finding out what they were. Of course, she'd also probably hope that Hammer comes after her, just so she has an excuse for a fight.

Re: The Matrix as a Silent Film Cyber-Steampunk? Steam-Cyberpunk? Cyberpunk Steampunk? Whatever. Awesome.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... And finally, and only 99% unrelated, QotW from a member of my WoW guild over Vent: Kilim: If there's One thing I've leanred in life, it's never to fry something while naked.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... And, as a bonus, from the Star Hero game: The situation: We've laid a trap for the Big Bad Alien Prince, but now he's escaping. We've been trying to stop him, but all our shots are either missing or hitting for tiny amouts of STUN and BODY Me: Where did we get these stupid guns? (Hits for 7 BODY and 35 STUN) Me: Never mind

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Last night's session was actually all planning for the next D&D Game. Even then, it produced some corkers. Names changed to protect the guilty: Waffers: I got it! my character's mummy was a witch doctor. he went out to get some shrooms for her, and somebody stood on them. I was like "Hey man, don't touch my shrooms" and got angry at him, so I chased him into the city and got lost and confused. Me: I thought he was going to be a basketballer and run around in a loincloth (Well, actually play an anchient Mesoamerican ball game that is similar to Basketball, but yeah) Waffers: Well, he became a basketballer after he got to the city and forgot what he was doing Bill: I thought the idea was to gather shrooms, not eat them Waffers: He has a big ball Me: Given the tiny little loincloths that those mesoamerican basketballers wore, that much should be obvious Me: Bill, why do you allways pick the mini with the shiniest buttcheeks? Bill: Because all the male minis are crap Me: They're also sculpted by guys, so the two may not be unreleated. Bill: Like you can talk; your mini isn't even wearing pants; and I can see her butt cleavage Me: At least it's not shiny (I use an on-line rnadom fantasy name generator) Me: "Cevornia?" That sounds like the name of a former Soviet republic Waffers: Does she glow in the dark? Waffers: No, I got it! His Witchdoctor mummy was kidnapped while he was out gathering shrooms for her, so he's gone to the big city to find her and to play basketball. Me: I will avange you, mother! But first I must win the playoffs! Me: My character's a mercenary badarse with big... swords Bill: And no pants Me: Doesn't matter, you'll be staring at her... swords Waffers: I could be a n00b monk Bill: I thought you said a "nude" monk Me: Well, given that monks don't wear armour... Waffers: (reading rules) What's a Ki pool? Me: Its where you keep your ornamental carp Me: The idea behind a Monk is that you achive enlightenment by beating people up

Re: What Will It Take To Blow Up Pluto? "But why blow up Pluto?" "FOR SCIENCE!" "Seems resonable to me"

Re: Proof Lightsabers make everything better! That image is made of anacrhonisims and win.

Re: The Incredible Shrinking Species Skadi's "I wanted to be a scienctist when I grew up" side would instantly know that this is a very, very bad idea. She'd do her best to track the guy down and try to verify that his is the truth, probably by looming over him and being large. Then, if that didn't work, she'd punch him. Or hope that other, more technically-minded members of her team can find out a way to stop the salatite. Or try to punch it out.

Re: List Your CO Nemeses! Update! Max Rad has been defeated, and in his place has risen... Chilly McFreeze (http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Chilly_McFreeze), an evil Japanese Michael Jackson impersonator. With ice powerws. And Zombie minions. How do I come up with this stuff?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Can't you just? Rip was deliberately played silly by a player who knows better but likes to have fun. He was a full-tilt crazy with a tendancy to wave arounf the glowystick first, ask questions later. He was probably the most "loon" of the team, being (mostly) kept in check by Scott. Well, save for this one quote: Rip: We need to be diplomatic Scott: I'll get more grenades

For something I'm working on, I'm looking to assemble a deliberately cheesy Silver-Age villain group, somewhat inspired by Marvel's Masters of Evil. The idea is that the characters don't have a common theme or gimmick, they're jsut a bunch of evil guys working together - again, very MoE. So far I have four members, but I'm looking for one or two more, as well as suggestions for htem or their powers. Doctor Defenestrator - The leader of the team; a powerful Telekenetic who seems to be motivated by gradiose supervillainy for the simple sake of it. Bombastic and overconfident Mind Master - Second in command, a powerful mentallist who wants to take over the world (or, at the very least, reduce its population to his obedient mindless drone slaves) Mysteria, the Queen of Outer Space - A green skinned space babe in a bikini; wants to take over the earth so she can use its superhumans to conquer Outer Space. Not sure what her powers should be. Baron Gorilla - A Gorilla with a Jetpack. Again, not sure what other powers he should have. I figute the gorup could use one or two more members; possibly a guy with a Death Ray, but I'm looking for other suggestions.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From the epic conclusion of our Star Wars game: The Cast: Zog: The GM Me: Playing Krys, human female gunsligner Richard: Playing Kaz, Zabrak male bounty hunter Andrew: Playing Rip Kong, human male Jedi Max: Playing Scott, human male Jedi IC comments proceeded with character names, OOC ones with player names) Scene: The Penultimate Fight – our heroes vs father-and-daughter Sith guys (Daughter turns; Dad turns on her, but gets three misses – followed by a fatal critical hit) Andrew: The Pathos of the d20 (Dad gets lured into a bomb trap that he set up but thought we disarmed) Krys: I gave him the Explodo because I am clever (Dad gets stabbed through with Rip's saber) Me: Shot through the heart, and you're to blame- (is pelted) Scene: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Big Bad and two henchmen (Henchman tries to shot Krys, is doing a passable job) Krys: The difference between you and me is that I do a lot of damage with a single shot. (Natural 20, kills them dead) See? (Rip uses Enhance Ability, gets a Natural 20) Andrew: OOOH! Crick Crack Knuckles (Rip unleashes a flurry of Lightsaber hits) Andrew: 99 Damage. Dammit. (Kaz sneaks up on the master villain) Zog: A vicious snarl comes over her face. "You ruined it!" Kaz: Excelent Andrew: I predict Force Lightning in your future. (Krys hits for a lot of damage) Me: And this is what happens when Krys makes an effort rather then just filling the air with... little.. beams of light (Kaz is run through and dies instantly; like, -29 HP dies instantly) Me: You were going to retire, move to the country and buy a Gronk Andrew: Did that Force Lighting hit you? Richard: Yes Andrew: Did it hurt? Richard: I shrugged it off. I'm a Zabrak and I'm tough Me: Not tough enough Richard: Yeah, what with being stuck through with a Lightsaber for the second time today (Krys is a bit upset) Krys: You broke into the temple, messed with the force and killed That Zabrak Guy. Now I'm really mad! (Villain gets hit a lot, force energy flares around her) Rip: She's got golden tentacally Sith love happening Krys: I can't see golden tentacally Sith love. Andrew: Write that one down Me: I can't! I'm rolling damage!

Re: Announcing Kazei 5, Second Edition CRIKEY! I mean, yeah. I get my character in an offical HERO games product. That makes me very happy in the pants. It was a blast playing her and it was great to help on the book in whatever way I could. Oh, and if anyone asks, yes, I do talk like Sandra in real life. Terrifying, huh?

Re: Floodgate?! If Thespian is in there, i will be so happy... especially when I beat him up.

Re: Announcing Kazei 5, Second Edition I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will be the best HERO book ever. Though I may be very, very biased about this fact. "tool"

Re: A Gift? Skadi would simply open it; she's so convinced of her indestructability that if it was a bomb.trap/whatever, she wouldn't care and figure ashe can survive it anyway. She also knows that two of her three arch-enemies aren't the type to leave clever traps (one would see it as beneath him and the other's a buttmunky) while the third wants her alive anyway. Knight Watch would stand well back and set up a datalink with his home base systems, and wait as his wife's remotes scan it. If they come up all clear, then he opens it. If not, well, he'll call in more remotes to dispose of it. Then, if it is a failed trap, he'll tell the sender how obvious it was next time they meet. Repeatedlty.

So, here I am swimming around Lemuria, and I get a mission to go talk to "Floodgate". And I'm blobbing my way over to this person and thinking "Hmm, that name sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. And then I get to her, and go "Oh crap, that's who Floodgate is!" as I instantly recongise the costume. Then I read her backstory; she fell into a contaminated pool, gained water controllign powers and now fights aginst people who pollute the ocean. And that's when I reach for my copy of European Enemies. I compare the art. And the backsotry. And my jaw drops. Holly frikking hell. Now I may be missing something here, but I thiought that EE was not considered a part of the FRED CU, hells I thought it was pretty much Verboten. So, um, have I missed something? Is there a FRED FLoodgate? Or did one of the game Devs just reach into a special part of hell for CO lore?

Re: List Your CO Nemeses! Skadi has had three Nemesies so far; I'm about to finish #3 off so I need to figure out who #4 will be. http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Juicer <- Juicer, her first nemesis; yes he's a blatant Rifts reference, but hey. A chemically enhanced super-soldier, he wanted to capture Skadi and dissect her to extract the chemicals he needed to survive from her body. Yik, huh? http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Mind_Master_II <- Mind Master II, the son of a silver-age villain. He sought to take over the world with the power of his amazing brain, buahahaaa! Please do not make jokes about his costume, he's very sensitive about it. http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Max_Rad <- Max Rad, a failed 90s action hero decided that he was sick of beign a washed-up has-been and turned to supervillainy in order to make himself look cool. This made him instead look like a total Butt Monkey.

Re: List Your CO Heroes! (Accidental doublepost, eep)

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? Pulsar, Hower, Ogre, Green Dragon and Armordillo. That is all.

Re: List Your CO Heroes! First up, long time lurker, first type poster, etc, etc etc. Also a long time HERO/Champions fan who was drawn in not just becuse of the Genre, but the specific setting. I'm lovign CO simply for being Champions universe, and loving regongising a lot of the characters I meet and fight (I laugh every time we punk out Green Dragon. That beign said, we want Pulsar and Holwer, dammit!) Anyways, I have a few characters myself. http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Skadi <- Skadi my main. Superstrong brick type with a love of throwing things at people and smashing stuff - for JUSTICE! Level 40 and almost through her third nemesis. Skadi is a mamber of a superhero grup known as the Lolcat Brgud. They belive that superheroing is a matter that should be approached with the utmost of having fun and not taking things seruiously at all. Grim and brooding dark avengers need not apply. http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Knight_Watch <- Knight Watch. Power armoured hero with a deadly wit, motormouth and an array of weapons and gadgets to back it up. Fights crime by putting his opponents down, making them look like idots, beating them up and posting videos of it on the internet. Currently level 27 and stalled. http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Krimzon <- Krimzon (Its spelt that way so she can trademark it). Genetically engineed Soviet supersoldier armed with a pair of guns that fire magical, non-existant bullets from a parallel universe. Also, a terrible liar. Level nine. Yay.
