Re: Character: John Carter of Mars Not in an ERB-written novel so far as I know. I've read all the Mars (Barsoom) and Venus (Amtor) books. Though they are doubtless in the same universe. The character of Jason Gridley (and in a broader sense, the ERB as presented in various forewords himself) ties together John Carter, David Innes, Carson Napier, Tarzan and others. John Carter has been to Earth, Mars, Deimos and Jupiter. Keith "Read a lot of this stuff, but oddly, very little Tarzan" Curtis

Re: Cylon Resurrection Then I'm a blasphemer. I tend to ignore statting out things like that unless necessary. If a character wants to play a Cylon, I might be tempted to, but mortality rates in my campaigns are so low, that it's not likely to be an issue. Keith "the Player's Friend" Curtis

Re: Crude Combined Marvel/DC timeline to use as backstory to a Supers campaign clap-clap-clap! Excellent job. I hope your campaign is a blast. Keith ":thumbup:" Curtis

Re: Character: John Carter of Mars No' date=' that was Vor Daj, from Synthetic Men of Mars who is transferred into the body of Tor-Dur-Bar. Ulysses Paxton (Barsoomian name, Vad Varo) did learn the technique of brain transplant from Ras Thavas, though. Tan Hadron of Hastor, a province in the nation of Helium. Carthoris. Keith "Erbophile" Curtis

Re: Character: John Carter of Mars IIRC, Ulysses S. Paxton had a similar immunity (and origin). Keith "Remembers reading that story with dismay..." Curtis

Re: Fantasy color webcomic Sounds like a worthwhile wait, Storn. Keep us updated. Keith "Wants to know if the guy with the shoulder wound will get better" Curtis

Re: Possibilities With New Stats The Savage Earth uses three figured characteristics: Morphia, Anima and Psyche. These are used primarily as target numbers for Transformation powers. Keith "Works out well, so far" Curtis

Re: Artwork for Gestalt Woot! The more I see this, the more it rocks, Scott. Keith "sweet!" Curtis

Re: Discourse on Fantasy Hero To further derail, I saw a blurb last night for Conan the Barbarian that went like: "Conan, an Ex-Pitfighter recovers his father's sword from a Snake King with the help of a wizard, a Mongol and a queen." Keith "Wrong on so many levels" Curtis

Re: Character: John Carter of Mars Tarzan Alive. And the whole Wold-Newton Universe. Keith "PJ Farmer rocks on research" Curtis

Re: Best and Worst Costume/Appearance Changes I have noticed that high heels seem to be disappearing in all but the most fetishistic titles (Lady Death, et al). Wonder Woman hasn't had them since Perez' reboot. Keith "somebody probably put them back during the Artemis debacle" Curtis

Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero "For the retirement plan." "I'm afraid of dying. You know, in a permanent way." Keith "These are all good reasons" Curtis

Re: Valdorian Age world map (dear Mr Curtis...) I sent it. My hands are clean. Keith "skiving repsonsibility" Curtis

Re: Discourse on Fantasy Hero I've got no problems with accepting ideas, but that's not the problem, I've got a jillion ideas. I merely lack the will to execute them. It's burnout, or malaise or something. I just have to do other stuff for a while. Keith "But thanks for asking and feel free to make suggestions anytime" Curtis

Re: Best and Worst Costume/Appearance Changes Too late. Inspector Schwab examined the corpse. It wasn't pretty. These things never are. Patrolman Cheeks entered the room and promptly lost his lunch. It wasn't pretty. These things never are. Wordlessly, he turned his large, imploring and soulful eyes to the Inspector. The eyes spoke volumes, asking the question that Cheeks never could. "Yeah Cheeks," said Schwab. "It's just what it looks like. See the ears, the tail? The unnaturally large eyes and cute little fangs? Some schmuck has been calling attention to reality in comics. Poor little catgirl never stood a chance..." Keith "*sniff*" Curtis

Re: Discourse on Fantasy Hero Not lately. Keith "Severe Gamemaster's block" Curtis

Re: Discourse on Fantasy Hero Killer Shrike said "Savage Earth". That gets rep. Keith "It's all about me" Curtis

Re: Is anything in the system correctly priced? Not when I'm a player... Keith ":sneaky: " Curtis

Re: Character: John Carter of Mars

Re: Character: John Carter of Mars I suggested something like this the first time the writeup was posted. Carter is an awesome fighter, strong, loyal and brave. But he's about as bright as the inside of a coal mine. He consistently fails to see the most obvious things in front of him. He can't remember the length of a martian year in martian days (He lived there a whole decade). He can't figure out who the jumping kid with lighter skin in his cell could possibly be. He's dense, dense, dense. But Issus, I love the guy. He always comes through in the end, even with a whole planet against him. Keith "I still live!" Curtis

Re: Daily Art Findings These I like very much, especially Maleficent. Keith "scariest Disney Villain ever" Curtis
