A: Here, I make the rules. Here, I am God.

Q: For some reason the city has no money in the treasury, even though we've got the highest tax rate in the state. We need to find out what the problem is and solve it.

A: As a battle cry, it leaves much to be desired.

I think it's sufficiently warped.

Q: So tell me how you really feel about Sarah Palin/Hilary Clinton?

A: It's like getting kicked in the balls only not as enjoyable.

A: Blame Bilko.

Q: Said the Egyptologist to Sa'im al-Dahr's ghost:

A: I cast Evans's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion.

Wondering about that exchange in the first two panels a bit. Nothing in the scenes for this book.

However it could be a book exclusive bonus story on how V bought the orb just before the other two+tiger had a chance.

But are they winged monkies? Of DOOM!?

Q: Alternate your clip with hallowpoints loaded with silver nitrate and holy water. That should take care of most of your super-natural needs.

I myself use a spreadsheet prepared in advance that lists combat order for all PCs and NPCs due to appear in the current issue.

Q: What do you mean there are reasons why world-famous celloists don't come from South America?

A: Mr. President, under the definition of redundent, it says "see redundent."

I'll second this motion.

All in favor?

Q: You say you're from Paris?

A: An electron has more mass than all of the craps I am giving right now.

I'm actually thinking of not keeping any of my team from this season for next season... because I have an idea...  I need to check with the commish.

Those also look like Tent Minis... the kinda I'm talking about are fold and glue then cut-out.... and show both the front and the back... not just a silhouette or a reflection.

Probably not the right place to put this, and if the mods wan to to move this then that's fine by me, but having purchased and assembled paper miniatures created by SquirmyDad (OneMonkMiniatures) it dawned on me:

What would it take for Hero Games to produce Paper Miniatures of Iconic Champions characters?

Metal and Plastic Models are expensive and take time and skill to paint, where paper minis are cheap (aside from what shouldn't be more than a $3 PDF and ink and cardstock), and only require a hobby knife, some white glue and a black sharpy to cover up the edges where the paper has been cut.

From a production point of view, really all that would be required is paying an artist (unless I'm not seeing something).

Sets I personally would like to see would include:

• Mechanon (as well as his famous summoned robots)
• Dr. Destroyer (as well as his minions)
• GRAB
• The Crowns of Krym
• A VIPER set with a couple of variations of troopers, mecha-suits, and maybe a tank.
• UNTIL and PRIMUS (possible use the same PDF as the VIPER one with separate Layers.

So my questions are:

What would it take to get purchasable PDFs of paper models for Licensed Champions Characters? I myself would be willing contribute to a Kickstarter aimed at doing this.

Who here on the boards would be interested in this?

Q: What's a subtle sign that the American justice system is dying?

A: Well that sounds ominous.

Q: What do you mean they are remaking Debbie Does Dallas?

A: There's too much blood in my alcohol to deal with your crap today. Go pester Melvin.

So you are saying my league lost due to an unfortunate name for the league?

I vote that next season the Mastermind League gets changed to the Defenders League!

Q: What's the official word on the Enron pension fund?

A: That would be the result if Ultron and Braniac had a baby.

Hey Commish, when you do the voting for the Team-Battles, do  you think we can vote for individual characters and get a dice roll for each character, that way the team who has the most points wins?

Just curious is all.

I think the Greek gods were depicted the way they were to show that even the gods are "just human", So the males in charge would cut more slack for thier whoring around.

 

On the other hand it was also not a very serious religion. Following the commandments was more a "nice to have" thing then a "I must attone for every infraction, no matter how minor". So at least they would not have tried to justify an Invasions as "Holy Crusade" or something like that.

 

 

Makes you wonder why all the Norse gods are depicted as having daddy issues....

I don't recall the folk lore depicting Odin as being nearly as much of a dick as Zeus... but maybe he was too busy persuing wisdom and fighting the giants and was never home?

Aren't daddy issues basically the foundation stone of Campbell's "monomyth" hypothesis?

Not familiar with that, will look it up.
