  1. Best/worst one of those is the video for Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood's "Something Bad"
  2. Hero is sorely lacking an introduction to the that anyone can pick up and learn to play, without any previous knowledge. One thing that the medieval fantasy juggernaut did right in its early days, was to include that in the start of the players' book. A self-guided introduction and Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style presentation of rules and concepts in bite size pieces. I have the start of one I've been working on. The new player finds a meteorite in the forst during their nature walk, allowing them to choose and test their powers before facing off against real danger.
  3. For the Players' section/chapter: basic character building. Start with your (disads)complications. Many superheroes are known more for this than anything else. Define who you are, what you believe in. These are the adventure hooks your GM uses to get you involved in the adventure, to make it personal to you. What is your name, your personality, your costume, your reason for being a hero? I have a bucket method I've suggested for brand new players to build characters from. Ten buckets of points to give you a rough start to your build. Give each bucket a number of points, and a label of what you want to build from it. Super strength, super speed, some other superior characteristic...bucket. One bucket for the "extra" characteristics to round out the rest of your stats. A bucket for your offensive capabilities. Another for your defenses. Want to be really powerful at one or the other? More points in the bucket. Don't forget a bucket for movement. Can't forget one for skills. Is there something that your character is known for? Their niche, their calling card, their signature ability? There's a bucket for that. Save a bucket for the "candy", the little cool things you might want but overlook or leave out if you overfill the previous buckets. Now you've got buckets of points, and an idea what to spend them on. Crack open the book, and see what those points will buy/build you!
  4. I'm with this one too. Considering they turned individual D&D modules into books larger than the core books, selling an eight adventure chain book for $40 seems like a winner.
  5. You are not kidding. My father actually had that happen. Shortly after the sign, a fully outfitted Apache helicopter came over the horizon...
  6. Blood, obviously. They didn't fit in the bag in one piece.
  7. Previous GM had one who might qualify. Vapor was Invisible, Desolid, SPD 12, and had a 4d6 KA Affects Solid World. It was a Crowning Moment of Awesome for my PC when she Stunned, Knocked Out, and *Killed* that SOB in one hit. (Vapor skimped on defenses...)
  8. Last time I heard that joke, the little old ladies were all nuns.
  9. Never more true than when they were embedded with viruses: Beware of geeks bearing .gifs.
  10. Conversion equipment costs one tenth of the 'mech's total tonnage (same as internal structure). Oh, sorry. Was reading Battletech stuff...
  11. On another forum USAians was typed, but I'm not sure how it could be pronounced. Spanish has the word Estadiounidense, but it is both difficult to say and hear. Hey, Nacirema! *dances*
  12. You should really retitle this "Help me create THE APOCALYPSE!" 😉
  13. No, white is beginner, black is master. He's probably in the blue or green range somewhere in the middle.
  14. So did I. Setting aside that they never got to use it properly, it looks like a BAMF.
  15. Especially coming from Bones, I thought it was the He's Dead Gym.
  16. I'd be happy if the dropship was there with it.
  17. LEGO is a wonderful source of everything. As for my toys: Four images of Jada Toys' Nano Metalfigs. Diecast solid metal figs from multiple lines: GI Joe, TMNT, DC, Marvel (pictured), Minecraft, Harry Potter, Walking Dead, WWE, Nightmare Before Christmas, Transformers, and possibly others I don't recall. About 5 CM high & wide, slightly too large to use as minis. But it doesn't stop me from trying, and there's a aftermarket of cusomized figs. And in the US, they retail for about $1 a fig, though they're sold in 18 or 20 packs now.
  18. We're Starfleet officers. Wierd is part of the job description.
  19. I believe Tom's comment to be based upon only one person in that situation.
