Re: Top Eleven Adversaries of Arnold While the idea of the list is great, the execution leaves a little to be desired. How can a robotic cab driver beat out Ronny Cox's portrayal of Total Recall's main baddie: the glorious bastard Vilos Cohaagen?

Re: Disturbing Character premises... LOL! Stray too far outside accepted norms and social pressure will morph into the use of force in hardly no time at all.

Re: Superhuman women and normal women Great post, and it got me thinking. When you wrote "As discussed in another thread, "Western culture makes beauty a major commendable trait for women..." you inspired a question. Is beauty not valued in Eastern cultures? For example, since I'm no sinologist I'm not sure, were Chinese men quite content with the ugliest mates until contact with Western culture? Or were the people of India just looking for mates with a good personality until the modern era? As for the thread topic, the answer is all around us. We already live in a world with a minority of beautiful people swimming in a sea of the plain and hideous. If there were suddenly super attractive heroes it would just be a difference in degree, not in kind.

Re: Disturbing Character premises... Well, parents do it to their children while they're at home and their teachers do it while they're in school and thier peers do it while they're on the playground. Aaaah!! The Care Bears are everywhere! On topic: We had one player who wanted his next character to be a little old man mentalist in a mech.

Re: When did [Title X] Jumping the Shark Thanks for the info. Scary stuff. For me the X-Titles jumped the shark when every other plot point/character was from the future.

Re: When did [Title X] Jumping the Shark Not familiar with "mary-sue-ism. Could you please enlighten me?

Re: This is why I play Fantasy Hero My God man! Don't you realize that our dice are the only thing that stands between us and the tyranny of the GM? Yeah, I'm joking...a bit.

Re: This is why I play Fantasy Hero Hey, better descriptive prose goes for GMs to! I once had a GM tell me that "you poke him in the chest and he dies." I was left a little underwhelmed. LOL

Re: Integrating "normal" things into a "Super" world I hear ya! Only idiots could disagree with me or be interested in something I find unimportant and unnecessary. The double irony is that I'm not really joking.

Re: Integrating "normal" things into a "Super" world

Re: This is why I play Fantasy Hero Actually, that is pretty much standard DnD Paladin character behavior.

Re: What would your Master Villain do? I would steal several nukes, quickly announce my intentions to hold the world for ransom and claim to have hidden several nukes in major cities. The New Pantheon would likely quickly assemble aboard their satelite base to plan their next move. I would then immediately launch several missiles toward the satelite. Missiles that would appear to contain some of the nuclear warheads, including radioactive material. I would try to hide the area of the missile launch, but not try too hard. The Pantheon would no doubt easily destroy the fake missiles and discover the launch base, an area made to appear as if its hiding a vast base of operations. The Pantheon would, hopefully, quickly act to nuetralize my base. Upon their arrival I would then, from the safety of my real secret base, trigger the detonation of the nuclear warheads. Then I would have to deal with any New Pantheon members who stayed behind on the satelite or were busy elsewhere. But this should get rid of the majority of them. Hey, doesn't make for a good game, but that's what I would personally do.

Re: Aborting Rules: Dodge v. Dive for Cover I would say that that doesn't speak well of the Hero System, but I can say that about some other games I've been playing since the 80's. At leas we always have something to debate/argue over.

Re: WWYCS: "Why Shouldn't I Kill Him?" But then I would have to accuse her of ripping off the plot to A Clockwork Orange. Viddy well.

Re: WWYCD: We hope you're feeling better now Thanks for the link. Interesting...

Re: WWYCD: We hope you're feeling better now

Re: WWYCD: We hope you're feeling better now I'd find this even more amusing if the doctor instead insisted that there are no such things as superpowers or super heroes and the whole world appeared to be exactly like the "real" world. I just might have to pull that on my group. Thanks for the idea.
