    NT: Pranks to pull on a Star Fleet crew (any series)

     

    Tell the Capt. Picard that someone on his crew is going to do something without talking about it with everyone in command beforehand!!

     

     

    NT: Rejected terms for Capt. Picard to say instead of "make it so."

    Re: (worst ever)...reasons to be a supervillain

     

    Why did I become a supervillain?

     

    Eh, why not?

     

    Because villains get all the good lines.

     

    To prove it's NOT a small world after all

     

    I'm not a villain, I'm just drawn that way.....

     

    It was either this or dentistry school, and while the laughing gas was fun, and the hours were better, and no one was trying to beat me up..... hey, why did I become a supervillain?

    Re: I need to brainstorm some anachronistic items

     

    The framed front pages of a particular paper proclaiming things in huge headlines, like you see handing on newspaper editors walls in the movies and on TV. For example:

     

    TRUMAN DEFEATS DEWEY!!

     

    ALIENS LAND IN WASHINGTON!!

    (If aliens aren't known in the player's original world, but they find out aliens do exist, the might be able to creatively use this information somehow.)

     

    KING LOUIS XXXII ASSASSINATED!!

     

    NAZI'S DROP 'SUPER-BOMB' ON ENGLAND!!

    (Since the press wouldn't have known about the atomic bomb yet.)

     

    TITANIC SETS TRANS-ATLANTIC SPEED RECORD!!

     

    ARCHDUKE FERDINAND NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH!!

     

    ROSS PEROT WINS PRESICENCY AS THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATE!!

    (His first official act to fire Congress and replace them with a more capable national 'board of directors.')

     

    You get the idea.

    I assume you mean someone other than the guys who wanders around downtown occassionally talking to himself......

     

    President Bush - "wow, in the future we had only heard stories about your lack of intelligence, but to see it in person...."

    NT: How should NGD Official Dictator Death Tribble decorate NGD President Enforcer84's White House

     

    By painting it pink, and covering it with cute teddy bears and rainbows.

     

    Watch him try to act tough at that house.

     

     

     

    NT: The US just marked the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war, and it's getting tougher to recruit people for the military. What new, hip slogan is the army trying to get people to enlist?

    NT The last thing Mark Millar says on this earth.

     

    I have to confess before I die. All my ideas for stories came while I was sitting on the crapper, which is why all my writings were steaming piles of ...... hhgghakk.

     

    NT: "By the __________, I have the power!!" (With apologies to He-Man.)

  17. Magic depending on the country

    in Fantasy Hero

    Re: Magic depending on the country

     

    I played in a D&D campaign where, based on the language the spell was inscribed in when it was learned, different effects occurred. There was a current language where things happened as they did from the book, and then four other languages that effected the spells learned from that language. One set would increase the effectiveness of the spell, while another would make the spell harder to resist/dispell. You could only roll to learn the spell once, so if you couldn't learn it in one language, you couldn't learn it at all, but it did make searching for a spell a bit more interesting.

    I've enjoyed Dungeon Seige. You start with a basic character, and can build him up, based on how you use him (spells, archery, hand weapons). You can also recruit other NPC's, and you can build them up however you use them also. You follow the linear story, but there are things outside the course you follow that are interesting to find.

    NT: Who will be the last country to get nuclear weapons?

    Israel. They really don't have any, they just let people THINK they have them. They realized a while ago what a pain it is to maintain them.

     

    NT: You're a crew member on the space shuttle, when all of a sudden you make first contact with an alien. Being a natural comedian, you immediately think of some funny way to warn the earth of the extra-terrestrial visitors. What do you say?
