Did anyone else flash back to Clevon Little for a second there? 
 
No? 
 
Just me? 
 
 
Well, crap..... 

while it isn't a rule, I would imagine that it would be balanced to give groups of agents a bonus to PRE Def for each grouping of N where N is enough of them to challenge a Hero. +5 for every doubling beyond N.

Business Inisider has California as receiving 12.7B less in federal aid than it pays in taxes, but given the size of California's economy, it isn't that big a deal.

So, who is going and what are they running if they GM?  HERO, obviously right? 
 
So far, there are 6 tentative hero games.  (Schedule not finalized until sometime in January.)  

This year's season of Battlebots was pretty intense. Although a number of teams went to China to compete in a different show's contest, they still had most of their stars and a few new faces too. Some newcomers made a grand entrance, some sputtered. A few of them were utterly wrecked. I attended events almost twenty years ago and the amount of damage these machines produce has increased dramatically...very few of the machines I remember from back then still compete and few of them are still effective. I'm not sure if they are still going to be replayed on TV, but youtube has plenty of content.

Actually, my theoretical example was 50% max damage, 50% min damage, which yields the same average damage as a vanilla power, although in most power ranges, minimum damage inflicts no damage against any target worthy of actual mention (as opposed to DNPCs or innocent bystanders)

South Dakota has a new slogan for their anti drug campaign...

Face the downside and overcome it. How many compelling stories are told about a character who starts out as the strongest and just remains stagnant? The best stories all feature a character who we first meet as an underdog, a novice, an aspirant who is not strong yet - but is driven to become so. Which character do you want to play?

Hello again! As you might recall from last year...
... I do a bit of fiction writing. The second book of the series, a full length novel, is on sale now.
 
Remember Them (Remember The Trade Book 2)
 
The man who became his cover identity is back in action! He had to become someone new in time to be sent on a mission he was ideal for: taking in a team to ferret out a secret Cuban plot in West Africa. But has the identity of David Cox really been put to rest?
Remember Them brings the details and dirty work of covert missions to the forefront, an espionage thriller where clandestine violence and disposable identities combine. You know all about the Cold War spies in Europe. This was 1984, West Africa, and The Trade. It was a dangerous place, rife with mercenaries, coups, and a dozen little wars. But there was even more happening behind the scenes.
"The Dogs of War summed up 1960's mercenaries in Africa. Now, add in spies and welcome to the 80's."

wow, that was close.
 
Kentucky, a state that DT won by 30 percent, just elected a democrat Governor days after Trump stumped for the republican incumbent.
 

I hadn't heard of Sport Chanbara (Spochan) until now.
 
 

Happy 65th birthday to the King of Monsters.
 
 

Being a Hero System fan, I can totally appreciate the concept of Quality vs Quantity...
