Re: Cursed dice I was playing a con game with Steve Long as the GM. I was playing Defender, and we were fighting a bunch of VIPER goons. Defender rushes up to the leader of the goons, gets all up in his face, readies an energy blast... and I roll an 18. Steve says, "OK, your blasters short out. You can't use them again until you have a chance to fix them." D'oh! Later in the same game, the VIPERs are getting away. I rush over to the vehicle and attempt to punch out the windshield so I can grab the driver. Worst damage roll ever. I couldn't even break a friggin' glass windshield! So of course, the VIPER thugs get away scot free. Still later in that same game, Defender charges the Nest Leader... who was protected by an invisible Force Wall. He collides into it with his Move Through, fails to do enough damage to shatter it -- but does more than enough to Stun himself. Ripper picked him up and used him as a club. That was about my worst bout of die rolling EVAR.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I think the conversation was something like: Min Erethen (NPC): Identify yourselves! Shasi: Um, I'm Shasi. I'm here to rescue you. Min Erethen (NPC): Aren't you a little short to be a Stormtrooper? Shasi: Yes. Also, I'm female. Hasik: And you're not wearing Stormtrooper armor. Shasi: There's that, too. Later, we were discussing the geology of our home planet... Shasi: It's just a big, dry, boring desert. GM: Actually, there is a small ocean... Shasi: Wheee! We're going to the beach! GM: Unfortunately, the ocean is filled with toxic heavy metals and radiologicals. Shasi (OOC): Shasi arrives on the beach in her bikini and runs into the water. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Seconds later, she runs back out of the water: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Re: Anyone wanna do my bad guy stats for me? Easy enough to convert, thanks. OK, now I've got Cinderblock and Warp. Now I only need: • Adonis • Punk Rocket • Dr. Light • Johnny Rancid • Le Blanc

Re: Musings on Random Musings So, apparently it is/was a mouse. One of the people in my department had some candy bars in her drawer and found them partially eaten today, surrounded by mouse droppings. Facilities is going to put out traps for it, I guess.

Re: Anyone wanna do my bad guy stats for me? He's got blasters that shoot red energy; they are probably just an EB. He has a chain that he can hit people with or wrap around stuff (uses it to take hairpin turns and smash things). He also hawks a loogie that knocks Beast Boy out of the air. His big thing is his souped-up motorcycle that can drive up walls, and is really fast. He's not particularly bad-adze. He's mostly just a biker thug with a super juiced-up bike. I'll look up Devestator when I get home tonight.

I know this is heresy on the Champions boards, but I don't really like to do villain character sheets. It's not much fun for me most of the time (sometimes when I'm really inspired, but not most times). Thank god for CKC -- if I need a generic speedster or something, I just pick one out of the book, adjust his OCV and his DEF up or down and I'm good to go! But for a con game I'm planning on running, I need some specific villains. So, those of you who love making character sheets, you wanna do my bad guy stats for me? What I need are these seven villains from the Teen Titans Go! animated series: • Cinderblock • Adonis • Punk Rocket • Dr. Light • Johnny Rancid • Le Blanc • Warp The only one of these guys who wasn't fairly well defined in the show is Le Blanc. He shows up a few times but never does anything except get beat up (though for this game he should be reasonably credible). If you need me to, I can send you a list of the powers they exhibited in the show (I've been busily watching the series again!). The Titans are built on 275 points, with an average of 10d6 damage, 15-22 defenses, 5 SPD, and CV between 7-9. The bad guys should be roughly equivalent, with fairly simple builds (suitable for newcomers to the game). A whack from my prodigious rep-stick for any help y'all can give me!

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Did you ever watch Teen Titans Go! (the animated Titans)? I need these 7 guys: • Cinderblock (Brick) • Adonis (Brick) • Punk Rocket (Blaster) • Dr. Light (Blaster) • Johnny Rancid (Speedster) • Le Blanc (Thief) • Warp (Blaster/Teleporter) The only one of these guys who wasn't fairly well defined in the show is Le Blanc. He shows up a few times but never does anything except get beat up. Though for this game he should be reasonably credible. The Titans are built on 275 points, with an average of 10d6 damage, 15-22 defenses, 5 SPD, and CV between 7-9. The bad guys should be roughly equivalent.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Oh, it's not her Quickening I want...

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Yay! I came up with a cool idea for my Teen Titans Go! game and now I'm all finished writing it up! Now I just have to do the stats for the bad guys. I hate doin' stats for bad guys. Say... Anyone wanna do my bad guy stats for me?

Re: Musings on Random Musings

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I have a small potted plant in my cubicle at work. I've had it for years. Don't know what it is, exactly. When I came into work yesterday, I saw a big pile of dirt atop the rock bed I put on top of it. I thought it was kinda strange, but didn't worry about it. I figured that maybe someone else in the office had a plant that died, and they came by and dumped the rest of their soil on my plant. No biggie. But this morning when I came in, it had happened again. Now things were really weird. I removed the rocks so I could add the dirt to the main soil and noticed a hole, about the size of a quarter, under one of the rocks. Using some scissors, I dug around down the hole to see where it led. It led all the way to the bottom of the pot, and then around. I couldn't really dig any further without uprooting my plant. I poked around with the tip of the scissors but didn't see anything, so I filled in the hole as best as I could and put the rocks back. So it seems there is (was?) something living in my plant. Don't know what. Pretty sure it's not a spider, because there's no webs. Don't know what else it could be.

Re: The Dragon Hunters (Steampunk) The Dragon Hunters Recap 11-8-2008 Alicia decided to go pay Mr. Barry Brogan, Esq. a visit. She headed to the First Bank of Ireland and spoke with a clerk. The clerk wasn’t interested in helping her until she “tweaked” his fate-lines and gave him the bright idea to take her to see Mr. Brogan. The suddenly helpful clerk took her to the third floor and introduced her to the solicitor. Alicia explained that her wealthy husband had recently passed away, and now his family was disputing the will. Mr. Brogan was very sympathetic and told her he would be happy to take her as a client, but that he was very busy for the next couple of days. Could she come back then? “Of course,” she smiled. “Why don’t you call your secretary and I’ll make an appointment.” While the lawyer was busy arranging that, Alicia used her tiny spy camera to take photos of the papers arrayed on Mr. Brogan’s desk, hoping that they might hold a clue as to the identity of the sponsor of the Great Road Rally. She then hurried to Thackary’s house to see if he could develop the film for her. One of Alicia’s pictures came out, and through it they discovered that the race was being sponsored by a name named Lord Vaughn Portland. However, nobody had ever heard this name before, so they had no idea who he was or how he was involved. Meanwhile, in Leicester, ADEN went to find the man in charge of the racecourse, Mr. Blacksmith. The mechanical man offered his “Company’s” services to remove the fallen drivers from the course and bring them to medical attention. Mr. Blacksmith was skeptical at first, but when ADEN told him that he would personally receive 15% of their fees, the man became quite helpful. He gave them a copy of the official racecourse map and a writ that gave them permission to be on the road during the race. Back in London, the race was about to start. Alicia, Savannah, and Thackary prepped the cat-powered car and brought it to the starting line. They marveled at the wide variety of vehicles there – everything from reasonably mundane steam-powered cars to a bizarre spider-legged contraption. Alicia used her sorceries to hex several of the nearby contestants – if something bad happened on the road, it would happen to them first. And then the starting gun fired! Most of the vehicles were off like a shot; others were stuck at the starting line as they experienced various mishaps and mechanical failures. Thackary’s cat-mobile found itself somewhere in the middle of the pack – well behind the favored contestants, but well ahead of the slower vehicles. There was much jockeying for position but no outright violence at first. But once the race passed beyond the city limits and into the sparsely-populated countryside, the knives came out. Thackary was attempting to catch up with a trio of cars ahead of him when one of them disgorged a load of slippery oil onto the road. The two cars immediately behind it spun out of control and wrecked, but Thackary had just enough time to swerve and avoid the oil slick. Unfortunately, that forced him to drive off the road and into the forest. Nimbly avoiding trees, rocks, and logs, he managed to keep his vehicle upright and moving. Alicia and Savannah (who didn’t have seatbelts) were hurled around the cabin like tempest-tossed ships. The cats were also not pleased with this turn of events; a few of them escaped from their cages and attacked anything that was handy … which in this case, was Savannah. (Luckily, she’s not a first level D&D Wizard or it could’ve been fatal!). While they were off-roading, Thackary noticed another off-road vehicle ahead of them. It was Lucus Hatfield and his Bug! The 8-legged machine was racing nimbly over every obstacle in its way and, since it was avoiding the road, it didn’t have to deal with the other drivers’ shenanigans! “Very clever,” Thackary thought to himself. Finally, the young Savant managed to get his car back on the road. “It’s time for some payback!” Savannah swore. “Catch up with that sunnuvagun with the oil slick, I’ll teach him what-for!” Thackary accelerated to catch up, but the car ahead of him wouldn’t let him pass. “To hell with this!” Savannah said, climbing back up into her turret. She took careful aim with her customized buffalo rifle and shot the offending vehicle’s rear tire out. The car spun out and crashed in a ditch. Savannah blew the cursing driver a kiss as they roared past the wreck. Then they caught up with the oil slicker. Again, Savannah took careful aim and fired. She hit the car in its engine block. Black smoke poured out and the car sputtered to a halt. The heroes waved jauntily as the drove past. Meanwhile, back in the north, Morden and ADEN were on the road to meet up with the race halfway (ostensibly to pick up the injured). As they crossed over a stone bridge, Morden had an idea. They stopped the carriage and he climbed down to examine the bridge. Finding the keystone, he cast a spell which would turn the stone into mud. “The first car to go over the bridge should cause the whole thing to collapse,” he said. “Then the other drivers will be forced to find an alternate route!” About that time, they began to hear explosions and gunfire. They pulled off the road just in time to see Maximilian Schnell’s amazingly-fast car roar past. The car roared over the bridge so quickly that it didn’t have time to collapse. But then the Brothers Grognard came out of the woods. Their locomotive looked heavy damaged; there were bullet holes all over it and a big part of the back was burnt and dented like it had been hit by an explosive. However, it was still running along just fine… until it crossed the bridge. The bridge began to buckle as massive vehicle rolled onto it. The Grognards’ locomotive didn’t even make it halfway across before the whole thing collapsed, pitching them into the riverbed. The car directly behind them (Colonel Blastenov) managed to screech to a halt at the edge of the fallen bridge; a few other cars didn’t have such good brakes and were not so lucky. ADEN contacted Thackary (via his Aetheric Communicator) and warned him of the pitfall, so Thackary turned around and headed for a cutoff. He knew of a village where he could cross the river. Several other cars followed him. Back at the river, ADEN and Morden were amazed to see Hatfield’s Bug come out of the woods. It paused briefly at the riverbank, then plunged in. Its long legs enabled it to ford the river without problem, and it continued the race. “That’s going to be a difficult vehicle to stop,” ADEN suggested. Then Professor Patricks’ giant cube-car came along. It too paused at the riverbank. Then a part of the roof detached itself, unfolded over the river, and formed into a temporary bridge! Patricks drove over it and continued on his way. “That’s going to be another tough one to stop,” Morden sighed. The heroes headed back to the first leg’s finish line to see who made it. Schnell’s electric car came in first, Hatfield’s Bug was second, and Professor Patricks came in third. Thackary somehow managed to make fourth place, and the others rolled in after him. The first thing Thackary did was find Professor Patricks and congratulate him on his strong finish. “Your vehicle is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!” he gushed. “What else can it do?” “You’ll have to wait and see,” the Professor said. “I must admit, I was most taken aback when I saw your vehicle and its unconventional power source. I didn’t believe it would work – and yet, here you are. Congratulations to you, my boy!” Meanwhile, Morden and ADEN were spying on the Russian camp. They wanted to find some way to take Blastenov out of the competition. They had learned through the grapevine that the explosions and gunfire they had heard were initiated by the Czarist. Apparently, he was trying to pass the Grognards’ locomotive. They wouldn’t let him pass and were aggressively trying to bump him off the road. He became infuriated and began to fire missiles at their vehicle. The Grognards shot back, which started a whole firefight between the Colonel, the Freres, and the other drivers on that part of the road. “The Colonel is the most likely driver to initiate violence,” ADEN suggested. “If we can get him to attack the other drivers, maybe we can have him clear the road for us.” Unfortunately, the Russian encampment was heavily guarded by a large contingent of well-armed Cossacks. They refused to let anyone get close to their camp. ADEN came up with a way to misdirect the Colonel’s ire. He asked Savannah to take a jug of Tennessee “corn-squeezins”, stuff a rag into it, light the rag on fire, and throw it at the Russian camp. He figured that the Colonel would blame Hatfield for the attack. Unfortunately, the Cossacks were alert for just such a thing. They spotted Savannah trying to sneak up. She bashed one of them on the head with her jug and took off running. Meanwhile, Alicia figured that the guy to stop was the one who had won the day’s race. She went to the German camp and pretended to be a fan. She danced with the men, drank beer, and was finally introduced to Herr Schnell himself. She poured on the charm and convinced him to take her to see his car. They made out for a while in the back seat, then she charmed him to sleep. While he was snoozing, she contacted Thackary and snuck him in through the back door. Thackary examined the car. It was an electric vehicle, powered by some unknown means (obviously more efficient than a room full of cats, though). He quickly re-wired parts of it so that it wouldn’t go, and the two heroes snuck back out. “That won’t stop him completely,” Thackary admitted. “He’ll be able to fix it. But he won’t be starting with the rest of us tomorrow morning.” Tomorrow morning, at dawn, the second leg of the race would begin! The vehicles of the “Racers to beat”: Les Frères de Grognard had an enormous locomotive that could run on roads instead of steel rails. Herr Maximilian Schnell drives a small, nimble, and very fast electric car that looks much like a Formula One racer. Colonel Blestonov has a large gasoline-powered car. It is very heavily armed, with maxim guns and rocket launchers hidden all over the vehicle. Lucus Hatfield’s car is called the Bug. It runs on eight spider-like legs and can go over most any type of terrain. Professor Patricks’ vehicle looks like a giant cube on wheels. When it runs into difficulties on the road, it can apparently change its shape/design to deal with them.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Yep. And once Thackary finally made his Driving roll and got his cat-powered car back on the main road... Thackary: Let's see if we can catch up with the others, shall we? It should be easy -- the cats are plenty agitated after all that bumping around, so the vehicle's capacitors are fully charged!

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread A number of years ago, I began collecting little Pokemon plushies. It was mostly for a lark -- I was on a business trip in Orlando, I wandered into FAO Schwartz' and saw a bunch of them on clearance. My wife and I watched the cartoon and I thought the plushies were cute. So from then on, whenever I found them I'd pick up a few more. I stopped getting them a while ago -- I don't watch the show or play the game anymore, so I don't recognize most of the plushies they put out anymore. But I still have my collection, sitting on a shelf in my office. A week or two ago, one of my cats decided that my Oddish would make a great cat toy. Now, every morning when I get up, I find Oddish lying at the foot of my bed. I pick it up and put it back on the shelf in my office, and the next morning it reappears at the foot of my bed. For some reason, I find that incredibly amusing.
