    How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)?
    Nijiru is a bastardized-weeb version of my real name that I came up with when I was 14.  Been using it since. 
     
    What was the first tabletop RPG you played?
    D&D 3rd ED, way back in high school.
     
    What was the first tabletop RPG you GMed?
    D&D 5th ED, Hoard of the Spider Queen, last summer.  Got to around level 5 before one of the guys moved out of province and the rest of the group agreed to stop playing until we reboot the game when we all have the free time.
     
    What are you currently playing/GMing?
    I'm playing Hero System 6th ED in a cyber-punk-ish game, acting as a policing force to bring law and order back to part of a war-torn country.  I'm playing a combat medic.

    How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)? A few years ago there was a Cincinnati Bengal (football) named Chad Johnson who changed his name to Ocho Cinco (his # was 85, makes sense right?). I thought that was bombastic, but figured I could do better and changed mine to Ocho Infinito. Years rolled by and I shortened it because there "could be only one"....uh...Ocho.
    What was the first tabletop RPG you played? D&D late seventies

    Hyper-Man got a reaction from Hadmar von Wieser in John Wick / Keanu Reeves for 6e   
    The beginning of the church scene was stealthy in the way he concealed the assault rifle.  I don't think he missed any shots inside the church.  The later 'misses' outside can be attributed to covering fire to keep the guards heads down.  Web analysis of his shooting stances showed that he used at least 3 different ones all designed to control recoil. 
     
    I posit that his only true misses were the ones when the son escapes up the stairs from the basement pool and is behind bulletproof glass. The only time he didn't hit exactly what he was aiming for. He even nails 1 of the home invaders with blind/look-away shots by going prone and turning away to take advantage of his dark suit in the low lighting (effectively dodging the invader's shots).

    Hyper-Man reacted to death tribble in Wild Wild West (TV Series)   
    The Wild Wild West TV series is being repeated on the CBS Action channel in the UK. Now I never saw this at all growing up (3 TV channels until the start of the 1980s then a fourth and fifth followed by the satellite ones), so I had no reference at all for it until the Will Smith and Kevin Kline disaster of a film.
     
    The TV series on the other hand is really quite a joy and perfect for Pulp. Granted there are no aircraft but you have virtually everything else and it strikes me as a goldmine for taking ideas. Dr Loveless is a great recurring villain and his escapes fit the mood.
    One of the episodes just aired had a prototype tank, forty years before they were first employed.
    There are also a variety of death traps for the heroes to evade which are just as relevant to the 1870s steampunk as they can be to the 20s and 30s.
    The writers also made certain that a seeming disability such as blindness did not deter people from being effective villains.
     
    So I would encourage people to look it up and pillage it for ideas.

    I watched the new Jack Reacher movie last night.  I liked it.  It was far different than the first movie.  Some have even compared it favorably to the most recent Bourne movie.  The Reacher character actually has more in common with Kwai Chang Caine though.  The way the movie shows his nomadic lifestyle makes it both appealing and tragic at the same time.  If you enjoyed the first movie you'll likely enjoy this one too.

    My wife & I re-watched the first season of WKRP In Cincinnati. It holds up pretty well today, far better than most sitcoms from that era IMO. The only downside is they didn't retain licensing rights to most of the songs they used in the show, so they had to replace them with utterly generic studio music tracks. The music was such a big part of that show, and it's just not the same without it. According to Wikipedia, there's a later DVD release that managed to restore most of the original music, but that ain't the version I have - so if you're going to pick this up, make sure you get the right one.
     
    Speaking of music: fun fact! As a kid, I was always annoyed that we could never make out the lyrics of the closing theme because the station was always talking over it to plug the next show or whatever. Turns out, there aren't really any lyrics! Apparently the musician originally recorded a bunch of nonsensical mushmouth half-words as a placeholder, but the show runner thought it was funny and kept it as a bit of satire. Who knew?

    My forum name is digeridork. I'm a bit of a dork and I like the sounds you can produce with a didgeridoo.
     
    The first tabletop RPG game that I played in was Star Wars d6 sometime around 1990. 
     
    The first tabletop RPG game that I ran was a very short lived d6 Star Wars game about 1991. Been running games ever since.
     
    I am currently in the character creation stage for a Champions game. 
     
    I am currently running a 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons Birthright game. Next week I will be running a Savage Worlds Scooby Doo game for some friends as part of our traditional Halloween scary RPG session.
     
    I was first introduced to Champions sometime in the mid-90s working graveyard at a call center. I played a pool cleaner that tossed lightning balls and fought with an electrically charged pool hand skimmer . It wasn't a well thought out character, but he was made between handling two irate callers so there's that. I didn't actually play again until 2010 when my roommate brought home a copy of 5th Edition Hero.
     
    I've enjoyed learning a system that I was initially very overwhelmed with and this forum has been especially helpful for that, so thanks.

    I own a couple of these Mark I Manual Grenade Launchers. They're capable of launching a wide variety of grenades, though the range is quite limited and the accuracy is iffy.
