Re: Mega Fantasy City Map - My latest project Not much, for several reasons 1) I don't want to pay a Hero licensing fee, so I would need to create a new system to run it or third) convert it to an OGL system, which would finally) take a lot of work and) not generate enough revenue to make it worthwhile.

Re: Disney Princesses And since I'm posting Princess pictures, I have to post the favorite I recently came across. Keith "nyuk-nyuk-nyuk" Curtis

Re: Disney Princesses According to my daughter, Aurora should have martial arts, or in her words, "kick-chop hiyah!" If we are going for the "forgotten princesses", such as Eilonwy, and including Disney heroines, such as Alice, we should include all of these. Megara, Pocahontas, Kidagakash, Marian & Eilonwy Megara could have immortality, Pocahontas is just brimming with overall superhero-ness, Kidagakesh has magical crystal powers, Marian has animal powers, and Eilonwy has Summer Folk magic. Keith "my favorite is still Mulan" Curtis

Re: Mega Fantasy City Map - My latest project My commission schedule finally has slowed down enough to let me work in a few personal projects. I've been working a lot with painted-style textures, and have applied that to my pet fantasy city project. The full map is here. To give you an idea of what I've done to it, here is a before and after comparison of some of the tiles: Before After Before After Keith "Still shows up once in a while" Curtis

Re: Who's run The Savage Earth? I'm doing fine, thanks. I stopped coming so often once the updates to the forums made them Safari-unfriendly. It was a pain to switch browsers just for Hero. Then I kind of got out of the habit. I only discovered this thread by checking the referral logs for savageearth.net. I was curious as to why so many clicks from Herogames.com lately. Thanks, LL. I know I've said it before, but you've always got a spot at my virtual table. As a matter of fact, I'm planning some revamps to the campaign to increase playability and decrease some of the complexity. There's a thread on my forums called "Savage Earth 2.0", if anyone would like to contribute any ideas. Keith 'the prodigal" Curtis PS. What happened while I was gone?

Re: Post-Apoc Adventures

Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See? Absolutely agreed. The TV show was one of those sanitized Civilization-of-the-week shows, but it was clearly post-apoc. Keith "Like Ark II" Curtis

Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See? To be fair, the apocalypse features very little in the film which has a functioning (if stagnant) society. In the book, it features not at all, because there isn't one. If anything, the first Logan's Run book was closer to Cyberpunk than Post-Apoc. Keith "Subsequent Logan books were not as good" Curtis

Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See? I wasn't saying that her words weren't true or her pictures inaccurate, just citing that she's probably not the best source for someone trying to compile research. Keith "And I cited Wikipedia to make the point. Irony." Curtis

Re: Astrophysics question I would think that antimatter people would object to a name with such a negative connotation. Keith "differently charged" Curtis

Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See? Be careful using her as a reliable source. Keith "Remembers the last time she came up." Curtis

Re: Staves Having received 2 hours of introductory instruction in the quarterstaff from a professional*, I can say without equivocation that wielding a quarterstaff is absolutely nothing like wielding any kind of sword. Improperly wielded it should be treated like a club. Properly wielded, it can break bones with little effort. The 4th Edition STR Min was laughably high. Using a quarterstaff is all about the proper use of leverage with a six foot lever. If you are going to wield it like a pole arm, treat it as a spear with normal DCs instead of an HKA. Keith "IMHO" Curtis *Whatever that might mean. It was so long ago, I can't remember the guy's credentials. He was definitely into how to actually use the thing, which was not at all what we wanted. We were an acting troupe. We wanted to look like we could crack skulls, not actually crack them.

Re: Order of the Stick

Re: Post-Apocalyptic Hero -- What Do *You* Want To See? I was just about to post this very statement. In particular, Beneath the, Conquest of and Battle for are firmly supportive of the genre. The TV series very much so. Keith "Looking at the larger pictures" Curtis

Re: Which is faster, Gravity or Light? It would be cool if stupidity were faster than light. You could have spaceships fueled by stupidity. "Scotty, we need more speed!" "I'm sorry Captain! I canna do it. I've bought all the Amway and extended warranties I can, and I've got Reilly trying to get us into a land war in Asia!" "Dammit Scotty, I don't want excuses! Exercise the option on the "Spock's Brain script!" "That did it sir! Warp 11!" Keith "I'd watch that show" Curtis

Re: Learning Via Audio That's a good idea, Big Jack. You might want to pitch this to Flames, known everywhere else on the net as Jim in Buffalo. He might use for his Hero podcast. Keith "JIm Plugger" Curtis

Re: Top 10 Action Hero One-Liners One of my all-time favorite movie lines ever. It has great universal usage in RPG's as well. Open dungeon door, there's a beholder. ". . .
