Baba Yaga isn't a stealthy monster stalking you from the shadows.
 
Baba Yaga is an unstoppable force that will ruin everything you hold dear and leave you either dead or wishing to be dead. People discuss her in whispers at night because they're afraid that if they talk too loudly they'll wake up to see her outside their front door in the morning.

I'm not exactly a lurker but...
 
My current Handle was the name of one of my World of Warcraft Characters, a goblin mage. Lately I use it all over the net (including on the paizo forums and Steam). A cantrip is a mischevious or playful act, or a trick; in gaming parlance a cantrip is a weak or minor spell. I misspell it's past-tense on purpose because I like the way it looks as "cantriped" better than "cantripped".
 
The first tabletop RPG I played was a mix of 1st and 2nd edition AD&D, and I was 4 years old when I rolled that character; my mother was the GM at that table.
 
The first tabletop RPG I ran as GM was 3rd edition D&D.
 
I am not currently playing in any games (the last game I played in was a pathfinder campaign). I am currently running a Pathfinder campaign, but I have run a few HERO campaigns as well over the years.
 
The HERO System has been my favorite gaming system for almost a decade now. I currently use the Champions Complete/Fantasy HERO Complete rulesets (which I consider to be as distinct an edition as 5th revised was to 5th). You will most frequently see my name show up in threads regarding rules questions or character building. One of my hobbies is writing up characters and concepts from the shows I watch in HERO system.

6.5mm cased telescoped carbine:

My handle: short for my full name Stanley TERIACA.
 
First RPG: TSR's Marvel Superhero RPG is the first one I owned. The first one played was DND.

Where my handle comes from: Started as a Valentine's day joke with my wife (she likes foxes, I like wolves)
 
First RPG I played: Imagine
 
First RPG I GMed: Shadowrun (3rd edition)
 
Currently playing: Monster of the Week, Pathfinder
 
Currently GMing: Rotating short-term games to try out new systems, including Uncharted Worlds, The Strange, and Feng Shui 2

How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)? Agontyr has been with me for nearly 40 years since I first played the original D&D back in 1976. What was the first tabletop RPG you played?

How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)?
Well to tell the truth, I have no idee, it was created when I wanted to.pla an online game and evry single.name that I chose was taken and so I just constructed.a.random name and this is what I came up with, I must say though that my favourite number is the number 25.

What was the first tabletop RPG you played?
The first and only tabletop RPG I ever played was D&D, me and a couple of friends started playing it about a year ago and it went on for about a year after which the gang broke up because no one wanted to GM and we did not completely understand everything.

I have not yet Gmed a tabletop RPG, but that is why I am here, I want to learn more about the hero system to be able to gm my own game with some friends.

I'm pretty sure those shotty rounds would penetrate your wallet and wound your bank account during procurement...
 
 
I've been desirous of a Kel-Tec KSG shotty since they came out in 2011.  However, every time I contemplate the purchase I get hung up on it being a pump action.  In that tiny form factor I'd really rather have a semi-auto.  I've eyeballed all the bullpup shotguns that have come out, so far and none has really made me go 'mmm, gotta have it!'
 
I like the UTS-15's ability to alternate feed tubes,as well as the ease of doing an 'empty check', but the gun is massive and feeds unreliably.  I like the Six-12's rapid reload capability but virtually nothing else about it.  I like the KSG's form factor but it's painful to reload and to 'empty check'.  There's nothing I like at all about the DP-12, as it is unnecessarily heavy (due to twin barrels) and the pump-once/fire-twice shooting cadence is strange when you have built the pump/fire muscle memory cadence required of most pump shotguns.
 
So what's that leave me?  Well, the Uzkon UNG-12 looks REALLY promising.

 
 
Semi-automatic.  Bullpup form factor.  Takes Adkal-style box magazines. (Up to 20 rounds!)  7QD sling ports. ~US$800 to 1000 initial price point (just as the KSG was).  Available soon... 
 
What's not to like???

This might lack penetration...

Did this get posted yet?  (Spoiled because it's a little long.)
 
 
 

The Crime Fighter Archetype is based on the fact that the bad guys never seem to remove the hero's utility belt even when they are captured.

I'd go with:
 
Man of Steel (1986)
Superman for All Seasons (1998)
What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way (2001)
Secret Identity (2004 - technically am Elseworlds but really good)
Kingdom Come (1996)
 
All are really enjoyable. "What's so funny" is the story featuring the Elite that is essentially a response to the Authority comic series (and was in my opinion brilliant).
 
There are others, "What ever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", "All Star Superman", etc. Lots of really interesting stories in the last thirty years or so. That isn't even getting into the Justice League or World's Finest or Batman/Superman. But I like all the ones I listed.

Top ten all-time joke from Big Bang Theory:
 
Raj: I like Green Lantern, I'm just saying it's pretty lame that he can be defeated by the color yellow.
Sheldon: Only the modern Green Lantern is vulnerable to yellow.
Leonard: Golden Age Green Lantern was vulnerable to wood.
Raj: Great. So I can take them both out with a number 2 pencil? 

I think I posted something about this some time ago, a modified saiga, firing both rifle and shotgun rounds, pretty potent, really.

also a new kind or rear sight for a pistol.  might be interesting, will keep an eye on it...

Enjoy!

Bullpup triggers always suffer some (in terms of trigger weight and length of pull) due to the sheer length of their mechanisms.  I could see the Steyr's trigger being mushy if it had too much takeup; my Bushmaster M17S felt what I would call 'mushy', as well, until I did some smithing to reduce the takeup ... and shave 2lbs from the trigger weight.  Now it's not half bad ... but a match trigger it absolutely isn't.  Anyone expecting more than a combat trigger from a bullpup -- really doesn't have reasonable expectations.

According to some friends of mine who spent time in the Australian Army, including one who was there when they changed over to the AusSteyr (modded Steyr AUG), the difference is tangible, but easy to overcome with instruction and practice. That said, the one who was in at the changeover was unimpressed, especially with the trigger, which he described as "mushy".

I bring you the gen2 Kel-Tec RFB in FDE.  Chambered in 7.62mm NATO (aka .308) with an 18" barrel, 1:11.25" twist, adjustable gas system, and OAL of 26"...
 

 
I brought one home today.  This thing is amazingly compact/light for a .308.  The trigger is also surprisingly crisp for a bullpup -- given how long some of the parts in the trigger assembly have to be in bullpups.  It is by no means pretty, but it's very, very functional.

Must-have tactical accessory:
 

 
Picatinny rail mounted testicles.
 
You're welcome.

Belt fed 12 gauge.
