Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Is that a lamb burger or beef? 'Cause a lamb burger sounds pretty tasty, actually... :drool:

Re: Creepy Pics. I read an article a few years ago about some wealthy woman who was addicted to plastic surgery and had an unhealthy obsession with turning herself into a cat-girl. The results were disturbing, to say the least, especially as it was not a fictional story.

Re: Order of the Stick Ah, OK. I hadn't read the latest one yet. Ne'ermind.

Re: Order of the Stick Are you making an assumption about how Tarquin's wife died? IIRC, he described her death as "Mysterious circumstances," which I interpreted to mean "I killed her without leaving any evidence, because I'm evil that way." Did I miss something in the comic itself that indicates that she was part of the Draketooth family and was killed by V's epic spell?

Any artistic types out there want to make a little pocket money and get their name in a Hero book? I need a star map that looks good for a book I'm doing the layout on. I've seen some of the star map maker websites and programs out there, but frankly this kind of stuff leaves me completely baffled so it's not something I feel terribly comfortable doing myself. I can give you the names of the systems that need to be mapped, but the rest would be up to you. Anyone interested? PM me!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Ross Watson ran his infamous Venture Brothers Hero game at Genghis Con in Feb. I finally had time to type out the quotes that I wrote down (which, I assure you, are only a small sample from that game!)... Fighting a hoard of Manodiles (half-man, half-crocodile), Henchman 24 has shot at them several times, ineffectually: 24: We should've brought cans of silly strong for all the good we're doing here! Another round of ineffectual combat: 24: Why don't you guys give us regular guns? Dr. Girlfriend: We tried that, remember? And how well did that turn out? 24: (downcast) Yes, ma'am. One of the manodiles splatters mud on Dr. Girlfriend's skirt: Dr. Girlfriend: Oh, I am going to make boots and a purse out of you! We're going on an adventure to rescue Brock, Dr. Venture, and the Monarch! Dr. Orpheus: This is just like one of those games of The Dungeons and The Dragons. 24: Don't you make fun! It's a perfectly legitimate hobby! 21: Yes. And I am your Dungeon Master -- your guide to this wondrous land of fantasy! Dean Venture: Oh, no. I'm not falling for that one again! Our heroes find themselves on a sweltering hot island: 21: My wings are getting soggy! 24: We're never going to get the funk out of these jumpsuits! Dr. Orpheus and 21 get into an argument about Dr. O's magic, while 24 listens in: 24: Are you guys going to have this stupid magic versus science argument? Again? Every time! There's a dinosaur coming! Hank Venture: We should climb a tree! Everyone knows that dinosaurs can't climb trees! We meet a wild man in the jungle, who feeds us some monkey stew: Dr. Orpheus: Monkey tastes like flan! GM: (ooc) In every game, I require the players of 21 and 24 to have some obscure pop-culture argument. So... 3-2-1 go! 21: He painted soup cans! That's NOT ART! 24: He revolutionized the whole medium! Also, he made an 8-hour film about a guy sleeping. How is that not art? GM: A monkey steals Dr. Girlfriend's hat, and 21 and 24 chase the rotten beast through the jungle to catch it. Some time later, they bring the hat back, slightly worn... 24: You're gonna want to soak that in lye before you put it back on, ma'am. The wild-man turns on us, and fires an arrow at Hank. Luckily, it only hits him in his kerchief, pinning him to a tree and choking him. He spends the next several rounds just gasping and turning blue... 21: Yeah, something like that has happened to me a few times. That's why I always have a spotter when I'm taking care of business... Everyone: Phantom Limb taunts Dr. Girlfriend... Dr. Girlfriend: The Monarch is twice the man you'll ever be! Even counting your invisible arms and legs! Best without context: Dean: Our shenanigans are cheeky and fun! Talking about The Sovereign, AKA David Bowie: 24: I think he lost a lot of his magic after Spiders From Mars. 21: Yeah, his "American" period really lost me. Still with The Sovereign: Dean: Ground control to Major Tom! Where's our dad??? Phantom Limb's sinister scheme, to get the League of Calamitous Intent to switch over to Windows, meets with failure: Dr. Orpheus: I hope Bill Gates paid you well, you sneak!

Re: The cranky thread Power went out during a gaming session at my place a couple of years back. I've got a couple of wind-up camp lanterns that I pulled out, and we lit a few candles, and kept on playing. It was a little tougher than normal but mostly we just went diceless for a couple of hours.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I dunno about "better" but they are very different. The book (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) is, for the most part, a deeply philosophical look at what makes us human. That's an undertone throughout the movie, but it's wrapped up in a very noir detective story.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Bladerunner.

Re: The Dragon Hunters (Steampunk) Widening Gyre was written for 6e, but since (IMHO) the various editions of Hero are almost completely backwards-compatible I'd say the answer is yes.

Re: Catch Me If You Can: A Champions Adventure Glad that people seem to like it.

Re: Support HERO Indirectly... It's not one page, but I just posted up a full Champs adventure, complete with 9 fully-statted villains. It's for 5e (I wrote it like 10 years ago), but is this sorta what you're looking for? http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/88693-Catch-Me-If-You-Can-A-Champions-Adventure

Re: Catch Me If You Can: A Champions Adventure Seeing as I did this in 2004, I'm guessing that I probably used MS Publisher.

I was digging through some old files of mine and I found this. It's for 5e, but someone might be able to use it. It's a one-shot Champs adventure, including charsheets for 3 teams of villains (9 total!). I first ran it at a con in 2001, then I wrote it up as a full-blown adventure a few years later. Feel free to use it as it is or as inspiration. Repost elsewhere if you like, just make sure to credit me. And let me know if you decide to run it!

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Made turkey burgers last night for dinner. Turkey patty, american cheese, fried egg, slice of bacon, and fixins, on a whole-wheat bun. Tater tots on the side. Pretty good.

Re: "Neat" Pictures That subway map is pretty cool. I've driven I-25 from top to bottom, I-80 from San Fran to Gary, and I-70 from Cove to Columbus. Someday I'd like to finish the I-80 and I-70 runs.

Re: A Rogue Like character If you have the Advanced Player's Guide, you can use the Possession power to simulate what Rogue does. I don't have my book in front of me so I can't recall the exact build with advantages and limitations, but essentially the power lets you take over another person's body, including all his powers. Rogue stays in her own body instead of possessing someone else, but the effects are basically the same.
