Re: The Grand List Of Overuse Science Fiction Cliches Is it just me, or does anyone else think that one should have been classified as a red cross mark?

Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See? In the NPCs section, how about a crew of chain-smoking, Post-Apocalyptic pirates who live aboard a rusty old oil tanker and worship Captain Joseph Hazelwood as a god?

Re: Help with an alternate world: Amazon Earth If women really did become that strong, suits of Powered Armor designed for comfortable day-to-day wear would become the height of men's fashion.

Re: What would your Master Villain do? Terror'Khan, The Shadow Lord:Would already have some of his Shadowlings (the lowest form of Shadow Wraith, think imps with darkness powers) and his Shadow Cultists (thanks to his status as a dark deity, he has cults of worshippers in practically every part of the universe that has sentient life) spying on the do-gooders and be using the information gathered to plot and scheme on his own. During the meeting, he would probably sit quietly and size up his fellow masterminds while they're bickering amongst themselves (any villain of Terror'Khan's caliber knows that alliances like this are made to be broken eventually, and Khan has no plans to share power except maybe with the young woman who becomes his Shadow Queen).

Re: (worst ever)...reasons to be a supervillain "With my powers of superhuman road rage, I shall lay waste to all who get in my way!" HONK!!!HONK!!!HOOOOONK!!!! "Vertical pedal on the the right, granny!!! And turn off your $%&@ing blinker!!!!"

Re: (worst ever)...reasons to be a supervillain Because I have no other marketable job skills. Because it's too late to get in on that Enron thing.

Re: Character: Socially Conscious Man! Woah man, save that kind of talk for the NGD.

Re: Character: Socially Conscious Man! Ezekial Blackthorne: Ezekial is in his office on the top floor of Blackthorne Enterprises' corporate headquarters. He's at his desk drinking coffee and reading the Campaign City Times when he comes across an article on Socially Conscious Man's latest activities. Shocked and appalled, Mr. Blackthorne spews coffee everywhere, coughs, and then, after regaining his compossure, presses the office intercom button... "Miss Westlake, please bring me a towel, and a dry shirt." Devilfire: [takes one look at SCM's character sheet] "You...Have...Got...To...Be...@#$%ing...Me..."

Re: Rebuilding yourself Honestly, I'd up my COM to 18, give myself the Seduction Skill @ 15-, 10-points of Wealth, and the following: Mojo: +15 PRE; Only For Making Seductive Presence Attacks (-1), Only Versus Women (-1). cost: 5-points Technically,the above would count as more of a Talent than a power, so I should be able to add it to my sheet without violating the no superpowers rule. I'd then take DNPC: Supermodel girlfriend of the week, and Distinctive Features: Handsome if sinister countenance. As for the rest of the points I'd have to spend, I'll have to get back to you later.

Re: Running jokes in your campaign Yeap, And it wasn't all that suprising to me, I've seen the poster of Hokusai's The Dream Of The Fisherman's Wife she has on her bedroom wall.

Re: Running jokes in your campaign Both a running joke and a neat idea I've considered ripping off... At the beginning of new campaigns, a GM I played with a couple of years ago would sometimes ask the players of female PCs if they'd signed their "DID (Damsel In Distress) Release Form." It was explained that if they said yes, then they were giving him permission to put their character in at least one of of a number classic damsel in distress situation at some time during the campaign. He once even went so far as to create the actual form in Quark Xpress. My current GF was one of the rare female players to check the box giving consent for an encounter with an ATB.* *ATB= Amorous Tentacled Being

Re: Help creating sentient-multi-powers (think Witchblade) To what extent would the weapon go against its wielder's wishes? Would it, for example, slay someone that its owner wanted to spare/capture alive?

Re: Answers & Questions Q: What's the last thing you here before getting run over by Hally Berry? A: F***! Even in the future nothing works!

Re: 7 heroes summoned through time: who are they? How about Captain Henry Morgan?

Your character is enjoyng a lessurely breakfast one morning, when they come upon a shocking story in the newspaper/on the radio/on cable news/whatever. It would seem that all the dolphins on earth have mysteriously vanished! Every last dolphin, from the ones at Sea World to the wild dolphins out in the oceans are all gone, and even the entire Miami Dolphins football team has disappeared! WWYCD?

Mind you I'm not necessarily talking math errors or other mechanical mistakes, but more like typos and brain-os on character sheets your players have submitted. Those little goofs that had you rolling on the floor laughing your butt off before handing them back to be corrected. A recent example from my own group: A player built a taser for his character (a street level vigilante) and for one of the NND defenses wrote "being insolent" (instead of "being insulated").

Re: (best ever)...reasons for becoming a supervillain! Because it's fun. My life sucked before I became a supervillain. Now, even with all the caped morons showing up to meddle in my affairs, I'm having the time of my life.

(This is primarily for those running a universe with atleast some similarities to the standard CU, otherwise just substitute Tyrannon with the closest analog you have in your world) For some time now, your world has been plagued by Tyrannon the Conqueror and his minions...until just recently. There has been an unusually long lull in the attacks from his forces; not so much as one of his Emissaries has set foot in your realm. Upon mustering up the courage to crossover into Tyronnon's home dimension to investigate, you are soon shocked to find the lifeless husk that was once Tyrannon's most powerful form, the mighty Tree Throne. Asking around, you find out that Tyrannon in his supreme arrogance recently invaded the domain of another dimension lord, someone nobody's seen or heard of previously, and was handed a humiliating defeat. Tyrannon's lesser forms and his flunkies are now either dead, imprisoned, or have fled to parts unknown. As you might expect, no one seems too broken up about what happened to Tyrannon, and indeed, some openly say he got what he deserved. Still little is known about this new dimension lord who defeated him. WWYCD?

Re: (best ever)...reasons for becoming a supervillain! So Lonestar, now you see that evil will always triumph...because good is dumb.
