Rap, rap, and rap.

Inspired by a post in Funny Pics: Do you believe in the Bible? Believe in it? Hell, man, I've SEEN one!

Two eastern Europeans vacation in the United States. They look scruffy and rough around the edges, so the bellhop warily asks what he can do for them. "Me and the Russian would like two rooms please." The bellhop snidely replies, "It's not 'me an the Russian', use proper grammar." The customer winces and says, "But every time I say Fukov and I, people attack me."

To be a little fair, according to one of the D&D books that described weapons, said darts weren't dartboard sized, they were a lot closer to the lawn darts (approx a foot in length) that were eventually banned for people throwing them up in the air and landing on people.

It would. HERO is exceptionally easy to PLAY - as stated earlier, roll 3d6 vs target number, lower is better. Roll high for damage. That's it. The hard stuff is front loaded into character creation, but if you pre create the characters your players should be fine.

The sad part is that he's losing...

Waitress: The glass needs a refill.

At least until 2020...

Two of three thumbs up. Batman is very clear, Zorro is only slightly with the sword, the folded gloves and boots could be either. The Phantom I think of wore a purple bodysuit and black headwear, and that doesn't come through. If it's a different Phantom, my opinion isn't qualified to answer. Most people think of foxes as orange/white. I can understand darkening the colors for a grim avenger type, but the colors read more brown to me. A dark or black cape/cloak would feel more Zorro, and allow him to hide a brighter or different colored bodysuit.

I've found that point savings of an EC were too much bang for the buck, and toyed with a few house rules from time to time. Achilles Heel: ECs require additional Disadvantages related to the EC's special effect, equal to the amount of the EC pool. Ex: a Luck EC had the Psych Lim: Superstitious. If you can't find a disadvantage that works, maybe it's not a good EC? One Power: As the expression of a single power effect, all powers in the EC must either all cost END, or none of them can cost END - no mix and match. They must all turn on and off together, not individually. Suit EC's need not apply unless the same SFX applies to all powers. Repulsor Suit EC might have Flight and Blast, but the Armor isn't repulsor tech, so it can't be in the EC. (Yes, you could put in a Force Field.) Inverted Multipower: Reduce the EC pool amount to 1/5 the cost of the lowest power, and subtract that cost from the individual powers. Minimum Investment: An EC must have at least three powers.

Ultimate skill was $20, shocked me too. I'll have to make a run to the store to check price and availability on the others.

Logan gets a lot of sore throats.

There are some Herophiles out in this area... All the copies of Atlantis, Gadgets and Gear, Combat Handbook, Monsters Minions and Marauders, Tuala Morn, Turakian Age, and Villains Vandals and Vermin have been snagged.

A PM suggested I list the actual FLGS so locals could pick up their own. While sharing the details is Madness, I'd love for any locals to PM me, just to know who's out here.

My Dallas/Fort Worth local gaming store has a bunch of out-of-print supplemental (NO rulebooks) HERO 5E/6E printed books on clearance, most of them for single-digit prices.

But what if I want the cranberry free dolphin?

I'd always heard that as 'The one language all programmers know best is Profanity."

Are they colorful? Or is it fifty waves of gray?

For Amtgard, the fantasy medieval LARP, I have a cloak with pockets. It is indeed awesome.

Because his urine test came back positive for Coke.

Uncultured swine. It's Maurice...

Grindstone: Transfer STR rather than Drain STR. Static Fling: EB Double Knockback. Pretty sure I have someone with a Flash Damage Shield, can't remember who.

When introducing HERO to new players, I have explained using a Move action and an Attack action (which could also be a Move). Such an effect would remove the first. I've also looked into replicating MMO Mesmerize effects here: and this looks like an interesting addition to the discussion.

Because Steven King never had a heart to begin with?

My wife bought a ceramic dinosaur, but one of its horns was broken.. I asked, "Wouldn't that make it a diceratops?" My son answered, "No, a dieceratops would have one to six horns."
