  7. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Use The Man by Megadeth from Cryptic Writings Just one shot to say goodbye One last taste to mourn and cry Scores and shoots, the lights go dim Just one shot to do him in He hangs his head and wonders why Why the monkey only lies But pay the pauper, he did choose He hung his head inside the noose
  8. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Rocks On The Road by Jethro Tull from Catfish Rising There's a black cat down on the quayside Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark Two young cops handing out a beating Know how to hurt and leave no mark Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel There's a call for the last round of the day Push back the stool, take that elevator ride Fall in bed and kick my shoes away Rocks on the road

  17. Re: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Urban Fantasy Campaign Fodder? I would recommend checking out The Everlasting. It's a setting created by a former White Wolf author named Stephen Brown. It's like WOD minus the angst and 'our NPCs Pwn your PCs' White Wolf mentality. It's nominally a complete game, but really more of a setting with some suggestions for rules thrown in out of necessity. I found those rules to be pretty much unplayable, but easy to ignore. One of the character types you can play is a Daeva, which is a sort of demigod with a connection to some pantheon. The Book Of The Light has details about Daeva backgrounds, abilities and pantheoons. There's some fluff related to the really horrible system it includes (or at least did in the previous edition which I own) but overall it was quite easy to write up in Hero. You can get it in I haven't read the Olympians books, but may give them a look since my 11 year old son is a big fan and owns them all.
  18. Re: Megamovement DCV errata ? I take it you didn't bother reading my entire post either. Asking me what the possible issues are will do you no good because I really haven't used Megascale. I was merely commenting on your point that it can only make sense if the 2 are the same. That is patently false. If you want to know what balance issues Steve Long feels there might be you'll have to read his mind because he won't discuss design decisions. Asking me after I've repeatedly said I don't use it will get you nowhere. But feel free to beat your head against that wall all you'd like.
  19. Re: Megamovement DCV errata ? Did you stop reading when you got to that part?
  20. Re: Megamovement DCV errata ? Not really. STR is a construct of the rules with specific game effects. Speed isn't. While I understand your reasoning, and even agree that it makes sense to do it the way you suggest, that doesn't invalidate making them different for game balance reasons. I'll leave any discussion of whether there is, in fact, a game balance issue for people with experience using Megascale. I haven't had a need for it and therefore don't have an informed opinion.
  21. Re: Fantasy or Pulp? Had I replied earlier in this thread I would have answered fantasy. But this post in particular has made me do a lot of thinking about my own fantasy game. Although I started reading fantasy before I began gaming, my fondest recollections are still of the pulpier characters and stories like Tarzan, Zorro and Robin Hood. My version of fantasy tends to focus on my favorite elements of those stories and is perhaps more pulp than anything else. So rather than trying to convince you that the game you describe is fantasy I'll just thank you for sharing your personal revelation. It's given me a lot to think about when it comes to my own game.
  22. Re: Dice-roll modifiers in HERO & GURPS It's been a long time since I played GURPS but I seem to recall that skills tended to start at a higher level than in Hero and most people (at least the ones I played with) were likely to put just half a point to a point in each one. From that POV it makes sense to use big modifiers to reward players for actually putting more points into skills they want their characters to be really good at.

  24. Re: Why no comprehensive list for adders/limitations? I have to disagree. Most people I know would assume all the modifiers to be located in Modifiers section unless they are only relevant for one Power, in which case they should be in the Power description. No one I know uses the Power Type section for character generation or other Power writeups, which is primarily what Limitation listings are used for. The only logical way to organize them IMO is to put them where people will be looking for them.
