Weird Post anomoly Freaky, the first half of that is my post. Then for some reason, "The Question Man's" post kinda overlaps. I of course know what the colored chits are. They umm affect stuff. And you get more the more luck you have. I'll let Neil or Storn explain the colors. I think it goes Gold, blue, white, black in order from coolest to least-coolest. (if my grammar teacher could see me now) -Joe

Well my orginal idea was to try and not kill anyone. Damien is not a murderer. Self defense is ok (avenger attacking Melissa), out and out slaughter is bad. Plus I kinda hoped that if I just put a HTH smackdown on the yakuza guys afterwards there would be some broken bones and hurt pride but no deaths to avenge. Damien understands how mobsters handle avenging and the answer is pretty much the same no matter what language you speak. Then the cook brought out his subamachine gun and the no killing pretty much went to hades. But by that time the sword wouldn't have been all that effective. Sword vs. Point blank shots from a SPAS ends with Damien being buried in a jar and Joe rolling up a new character. yup pretty much. Very badly, but should be fun to watch. -Joe

That cook was pretty cool. I was just picturing Damien crouched down picking up a weapon when the cook walks out. Blood stained apron, smoking AK-47 in his hands and I just witnessed his ability to use it. all I needed was a cartoon-style thought bubble "EEP!" I had a great time. However I was pissed on the ride home. I remebered that I had a white chit left and could have re-rolled that last DEX off. Oh well, I'll learn this game eventually. Looking forward to next week: Triads vs. Yakuza round one

Chiming In Well as this is my first Hero's experience I can't comment much on the on the rules tweaking. My forte' of rules lawyering being (please don't lynch me) D&D 3rd ed. But as a devot gamer I can say that it was a great time playing that session. I really got to get back to having fun. Mostly because I had no idea how to do anything. And Neils flavor text is pretty superb. Oh, bye the bye I'm the one playing Damian McGregor. I really hope we can play this Thursday becuase I have some scores to settle. No metal mask wearing, riot gear wearing, flash belt using freak is gonna make me lose money. I hate giving refunds. Oh and Neil don't worry about those NPC's stealing any more face-time. Half of them are fired anyway. Especially the door guys. They let three people in without paying. Sure one was invisible, one was a Ninja and the third was the fight to bring us together but still... un-acceptable. Neil check your E-mail in the next day or so. I have a bunch of stuff Damian is going to want to ask about and I don't want to bog down the game.
