I too love Shadowrun 4/5 (essentially the same thing but with some finer points changed from one iteration to the other). For the longest time, I thought that the Hero 3d6 curve was BOR-ING. I spent a lot of energy trying to shoehorn different dice systems in its place. In the end, a Hero but Roll High method has become my favorite method for speedy dice rolls. I will stick with the Shadowrun system for Shadowrun, but for almost everything else, the Hero system pretty much has an easy to use dice system. Still boring though.

This. This right here. I love Hero. I love the way it flows once you start actually using it. I just don't have the time, energy and motivation to create an entire setting from scratch. It's just easier to pick another product off of the shelf and run with whatever system it was built for.

Hello Herophiles, I've corrected and re-uploaded my campaign to the RPTools site at http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=18939&p=199843#p199843 I will not be posting or responding here at the Hero Games site, but I will check the RPTools thread.

interesting. There is a member here that spews far more filth onto the page than my little "stick" and appears to be unchallenged. I suppose if the rhetoric agrees with you then it is fine. Whatever. Go ahead and give those Moderation Abilities a whirl. It has been a fun ride but I am, quite frankly, sick of the bias around here. Thank you, and I mean that in all earnestness, for keeping this place going. I'm just not prepared to shut my mouth when I have to read insults that encompass me because of my ideology while a little poking earns me a threat. See y'all down the road someplace.

Well, in the interest of full disclosure, I was just using the pretense as an "in" to slam Hillary Clinton. Juvenile of me perhaps, but somehow it still satisfies my inner gremlin.

I've heard the equal and opposite view espoused by folks on the Right. They often miss the point that the Right pretty much holds the cards right now and is doing a much better job at playing 52 pick-up than they are playing their hand.

I support your opinion. Hillary never need run again and trouble us with her evil cackle. Besides, I am willing to bet that the Democrats can field a way better candidate than Hillary Clinton could ever hope to be.

Oh that tears it! Hillary fixed the Primaries! Why that.... Oh wait, I wasn't a Bernie Sanders supporter. The Democratic Primaries meant nothing to me. As for the rest, I already believed that Hillary Clinton was scum so no rage here. Not really any sort of affirmation for that matter. I didn't need that either. So no rage. No nothing.

I went to a walk-in clinic last Friday. They prescribed Amoxicillin for the ear infection. I am completely cleared up except for the fact that I still cannot hear anything from my left ear. I am dreading the eventuality that I will have to have those tubes installed to drain the ears. The practicing nurse did tell me that it would be between 10-14 days before I see any sort of clearing but I have never had it last so long. Every time I take the Amoxicillin I also get really sleepy and irritable. I've slept more in the last week than I have the previous six months. And once I get all of that settled, I have to go about rebuilding my gut bacteria. Whoever invented this whole getting sick thing really needs a stern talking to.

I have a completely different reason for having difficulty writing; I don't seem to have a story to tell.

The Hateful Eight - Post Civil War western set in a Montana waystation where eight people are trapped by an unexpected blizzard. Being a Quentin Tarrantino film, there are a few interesting twists along the way. Overall the movie was enjoyable, but probably just a touch too long. Also suffered from Tarrantino's tendency to wander off the plot sometimes.

EVE is a great high concept with a piss-poor implementation. I would never jump into playing such a game for many reasons. The absolute mandate for multiplayer gameplay ruins what would be an otherwise awesome experience. I'm just not interested in making casual acquaintances from around the world simply to go blow up other players' stuff and ruin their day. I've heard about the real world costs of ONE of EVE's epic battles and I was truly aghast at the thought. I cannot even fathom that a game publisher would be party to the loss of so much real currency for something like that. In my mind, that is one step away from criminal. The only reason I don't take that step is because the idiot that devoted that amount of money, presumably with the full knowledge that he might lose it, deserves equal or worse scorn. That the hierarchical structure of EVE is pretty much a mandate makes it sickening. Well not for me at any rate. I would have to win such an insanely big lottery that money literally became something trivial.

Guilds are another thing I need to consider. I don't have one and don't want one that requires more of me than the occasional resource dump into a special project. Know of any good ones?

Source and scope on that metric please Old Man. I mean, does that include only Federal positions or are State/Local government positions included. I am curious is all and have no opposing data.

I endorse this. Then again, I am an unrelenting proponent of the 2nd Amendment and I am NOT a racist.
