Re: [4E] Worst Disad Now THAT's funny! Better than what I would come up with - I'd just have him THINK he turned into a bird - imagine Sooper-Dooper Guy in a net, hopping around and flapping his arms a la Squeezit Henderson. Henchman 1: Hey, what's with the nut in the net? Henchman 2: Beats me. Maybe he'll lay an egg. -SJ

I recently came back from a few days in the Arbuckle Recreational Area in Sulphur, OK (beautiful forest area) with my wife and my two grandsons. The older one (8) played a bit of D&D with me back home but now his mom has forbid him to play (she thinks he'll get teased at school and grow up as a geek - but I digress). SO, he wanted to learn/play supers and I hauled out my ol' BBB for some character creation. He came up with a pretty good concept (Lightning Rod - lightning powers) and came in at around 225 points. When I went over the disads, he liked the idea of Accidental Change so I asked him what causes your hero to change into his super persona. He told me "He changes when he cracks his knuckles." It was late, I was tired and I still wanted to run him through a quick battle scenario do I said "sure." He'll find out the hard way about that one. Anyone else? What's the worst/most ridiculous disad you've let pass or seen let pass in a game? -SJ

Re: Current Champions or will 4th Edition suffice? IMO, 4E will get the job done (5E - as in FReD - will also do the job, but those are even more scarce than 6E). I just started playing with my 8 YO grandson and the first thing I did was buy a copy of the BBB off a 3rd party and it works just great. I paid $25 for that and copies of the 3E Champions II and III (not necessary but good reads). -SJ

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I've long stopped caring, but I'm getting better... Right now I'm cooking up a nice big plate of Eggs and Hash My Way. Corned Beef/Roast Beef Hash cooked chrispy, scramble the eggs and add it into the hash while cooking, add garlic powder and Lousiana Hot Sauce with a touch of Liquid Smoke, melt cheese into it, cook until nice and done, serve with ketchup. Mmmm-mmm! -SJ
