  7. Rush for the win! Other notable stadium/arena shows include Pink Floyd during the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, several Jethro Tull shows, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (seeing them live really opened my eyes to how amazing a player Mike Campbell is!), Pearl Jam multiple times... In smaller venues, seeing John Paul Jones on his Zooma tour was amazing. It was a treat to see John Entwistle solo too. Many others - those are just highlights. I don't go to live shows any more, though - the percentage of audience members acting crappy and ruining the ability of those around them to enjoy the show eventually just grew to exceed my personal tolerance level.
  8. In an alternate universe, that was the best episode of Star Trek ever!
  9. I never would have decided to watch this myself, but my wife wanted to watch it so... It was actually pretty fun! We then proceeded to watch Baking Impossible which was also enjoyable, but between the two I liked Is It Cake? better. I think one reason why is that the judges on Is It Cake? are not professional chefs (if there were one or two I don't recall - most were not), and so it was nice to just hear three "everyman" opinions, whereas Baking Impossible has a professional as one of the judges who seemed like they just needed to try and find something negative every time, no matter how small (although there were at couple occasions where the feedback was entirely positive, I will admit).
  10. The idea of paying 10 points for combat maneuvers not otherwise available, rather than paying equal to your STR (or multiples thereof), actually first appeared in Justice Inc. with its Boxing skill. Aaron Allston, of course, was one of the authors of JI, but I have no idea if Boxing came from him or one of his co-authors. Danger International certainly expanded upon that basic idea and led to the further developments as noted. (The earlier Espionage followed the Champions model, but did add the ability to buy limited subsets of martial maneuvers for a fraction of the normal full STR cost, with these subsets defined as specific martial art styles.) </digression>
  11. My parents had the first four or five C. W. McCall albums, which I grew up listening to. Good memories there... still remember laughing at the ending to "Black Bear Road" where after the Jeep went over the cliff he says something like "when I ask for a rock, I mean a ROCK! That there's no bigger than a grapefruit..."

  13. Sorry to hear this, but also sympathetic as something similar has been happening in my family
  14. I know it's not exactly what you're after, but the Reputation Disadvantage first appeared (according to my notes) in the original Fantasy Hero and was then also presented in Danger International. My attempt to track the first appearance of game mechanics petered out after DI, so I can only otherwise say that neither Absolute Range Sense nor Combat Luck were a thing up to that point.
  15. GM Joe found some additional things to add to the 4th edition errata compilation, so I've now released an updated version: https://www.herogames.com/files/file/379-hero-system-rules-4th-edition-errata Thanks again, GM Joe!
