I'm sure that they'll leave the Bible off the list of books to be analyzed due to complaints.

Tom Cowan reacted to Lord Liaden in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
It doesn't seem that long ago that just the hint of having committed serious crimes would sink the career of any politician. I believe Trumpism has highlighted how much any system of representative government is dependent on some sense of honor and responsibility among the members of both government and the electorate.

Tom Cowan reacted to DShomshak in Diamond Robot
As Duke and others say, forget reality. Comic books don't deal in realism. Go with the *idea* of diamond, the mythology. Give the Diamond Robot as much DEF as necessary to be nigh invulnerable to the PCs' attacks. "Muah ha ha hah! You fools, my Diamond Robot is unstoppable! Soon I will RUUUULE THE WORRRRLD!"
But then give it a heft Vulnerability to attacks that are backed by Find Weakness, to represent the equally legendary property of diamond to cleave to a precisely targeted blow. So you have the scene of the villain screaming "NOOOO! THIS CANNOT BE!" as the "invincible" Diamond Robot shatters when the heroes figure out its weakness (that the villain overlooked even though it should be obvious to a well read 10 year old).
Dean Shomshak

Tom Cowan reacted to steriaca in Aphorisms for a Superhero Universe
Doctor Destroyer and Grond are extremely dangerous, but even more dangerous is that one villain you don't know anything about and you don't know what they can do.

Tom Cowan reacted to Simon in Selecting a Skill or Characteristic for "Requires A Roll" limitation
The original plan/design for that dialog included that, but there's nothing in the rules preventing you from purchasing RAR with a Skill (or Characteristic) that the character doesn't have (and some builds which require exactly that) so it ended up as you see it now. The flexibility of the system is going to often get in the way of the more deterministic systems needed for programmatic interpretation of characters/abilities.
