Re: You, or your PC? My characters are totally seperate. Why, if any of my characters were half as smart, cool, sexy, and powerful as I am, the other players wouldn't have anything to do!

Re: Avengers: The Next Generation on Hero Central OK. Let me start out by saying two things: First, this was a very difficult decision for me to make. Second, this was a very, very, very difficult decision for me to make. There were a total of sixteen submissions, from fourteen different people... a lot more than I was expecting! That's very gratifying for me as a GM; it means that people like the concept and the execution of the Bunnyverse, and want to be a part of building that world. I thank you all, from the bottom of my shriveled, blackened, bunny heart. Unfortunately, I only have room for one new player, which means there's going to be thirteen folks disappointed. It's hard to say "No" to enthusiastic people with fun ideas, so I did not make my decision lightly. I went over every submission multiple times, both the write-ups and the builds. The first thing I looked for was a solid understanding of the Bunnyverse concept, and a character who was inextricably linked to the Marvel Universe. This was the most important thing -- the ability to mesh with the Universe that we've been creating. Using that criteria, I winnowed the field down to seven top contenders. SEVEN! I know GMs who would kill to get five solid, well-thought-out character concepts -- but seven? Yikes! Secondly, I looked at how each character would mesh with the existing Avengers team. I want a variety of powers and personalities (mostly personalities) to create a well-rounded team. I'm looking not just for stats and powers, but also disads, background, and other "hooks" I can use to create adventures. I've been so far blessed with some really good players, and I want to keep the feel of a tightly-knit team where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This narrowed the field down to three. I actually sent all three finalists an email earlier, to ask if they were still interested in the game (to be honest, I was hoping two of them would say, "I'd love to, but..." 'cause that would've made my decision much easier!). Fortunately (or unfortunately) all of them said they were still in. So I spoke with my current players. I told them my thoughts, and asked for their feedback. They all agreed that the three I had chosen were the cream of the crop, and they all gave me their opinions (thanks, guys!). So I slept on it, and finally, this morning, I'm ready to make my decision. For those of you who missed the cut, well... I make no promises, but I am seriously contemplating expanding the Bunnyverse sometime in the near future, possibly (possibly!) starting a West Coast Avengers game. The six contenders who didn't make the final cut could pretty much form their own team, right there! Before I do this though, I have to get my head examined. Once again, thanks to all of you who submitted characters. I appreciate your interest and your enthusiasm, and I hope you all keep following the adventures of the Avengers: The Next Generation and the rest of the Bunnyverse teams!

Re: Your character's pet peeve(s) [shaw]Charming. [/shaw] Shaw's big pet peeve would be people who don't do as he says... and worse, people who are like, "You're not the boss of me!" Philistines and heathens, all of them. Obviously they need someone of intelligence and breeding to keep an eye on them.

Re: Opinion Fluff: Game Mastering Styles I will sometimes make stuff up on the fly, if I don't want to mess with the flow of the game, with the understanding that such "on the fly" rulings don't set precidence. "What's the CV mod for a flying grab?" "I have no idea, but I don't want to spend 10 minutes looking it up. I'll say -2 OCV for now, and we'll check the rulebook next time we take a pause in the game."

Re: Dumb Noob Mulitpower Question Yeah, that's how I thought it worked. Just wanted a sanity check.

Re: Dumb Noob Mulitpower Question It's just an example, not a real limitation.

Re: Trusting Systems vs trusting GM Judgement Speaking as a moderator, let's keep it cool folks. Personal attacks are not necessary for conversation.

Say I've got a 50-point Multipower. Everything in it is a fixed slot. Slot One is a 10d6 EB with some -1 limitiation. 50 Active, 25 Total points. Slot Two is a 25PD/25ED Force Field with some other -1 limitation. So 50 Active, 25 Total. Can I have them both active at the same time (going off total points for each), or do they each count as a 50-point power WRT the Multipower points allocation? And can you point me to the 5r page ref for this?

Re: What are/were DC's great non-superhero titles? Sandman Mystery Theatre, by Guy Davis and Matt Wagner. I guess it was sorta-technically a superhero title since it starred the Sandman, but really it was more pulp mystery-man and detective stuff.
