Re: Genre-crossover nightmares The Lord of the Postman Always Rings Twice: A young drifter, Frodo Baggins, and Galadriel, the bored and unfullfilled Queen of Lorien, have a torrid love affair and plot to kill Galadriel's husband so they can run Lorien and live together.

Just what the heck is going on here? A rent in space that semi-desolidified monsters are pouring out of? Or what? Distorted ghosts? The embodiment of evil thoughts? Nope, just this.

Re: Campaign Seed 1000 people is far too small a gene pool. Less than 100,000 is likely to inbreed to extinction. Why go to another star? There's metric b**tloads of room within the Solar system.

Re: Foxbatmite That's one of the most flipped-out things I ever saw :rofl: :rofl: Even Dr. Infamous is impressed. The Bacandforthtrian isn't. But he's like that, so pay him no mind. Dr. Infamous and he Bacandforthtrian yadda yadda yadda.

Re: Your PCs might be Underpowered if... ...if the team's worst fear is the Infamous Dr. Infamous's Bacandforthtrian. Mind you, those supersonic telepathic mechanical penguins with laser eyes are pretty scary. Dr. Infamous, the Bacandforthtrian, and all accompanying penguins are products of Basil's Twisted Imagination, Unk. All rides respectful.

Re: My Craziest Idea Ever? If rotating at 1 revolution per day (86,400 seconds), you'd need a radius of ~4.1224 * 10^12 meters, or about 27.556 AU. I don't have my books with me, but if I remember correctly, that would be about 615 points of Growth. As for Megascaled Growth...Eh, hell with it; I'm not working it out. :p

Re: A Game Of Questions How high does it count?

Well, we all knew it had to happen eventually.... Two satellites collided a few days ago: article.

Some is trying to build a self-replicating, DNA-like molecule, with different bases! Here. Now there's an idea seed!

Re: "I can't bring myself to kill, but..." I agree with Sean; an Activation roll doesn't sound right, as missing it could frag a major role-playing moment. The ones that I think might apply: Increased END, Extra Time (though only "Delayed Phase," "Extra Segment," or "Full Phase," IMO), Concentration: Unaware Of Nearby Events, Limited Power: Reduced OCV. The last reflects her subconscious interfering with her aim.

Re: Another "extinct" critter Sorry, but it was made by Mother Nature.

Re: A Game Of Questions Are you going to apologize?

Re: DC-What if you had to draft a superpower registration act? Red herring.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I think you mean "Panther's player." Unless you are all just characters being played by the real people who are roleplaying you roleplaying them. Of course, maybe you're roleplaying them roleplaying you roleplaying them. Or... No, that way recursive madness lies! Arrest for public indecency?

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Further in Time After Time. The Time After Time Machine.

Here we see a photograph of the CSNISS* Pathmaker, the first space ship to use a pseudo-space drive. Unusually, this photo was taken in real space; it was a happy accident that an amateur astronomer snapped a pic just as the Pathfinder went by. To be more accurate, this is a picture of the "referent"; that is, of the "reflection" into real space of a pseudo-space object. This accounts for its translucent and blurry appearance. The brightly glowing spot towards the right is the exhaust of the nuclear engines, which make up the diffuse area towards the center. Due to the perspective as well as the nature of a "referent," the multiple nuclear engines, and the fuel tanks for them, appear lopsided. The living quarters, included the control room, etc., are to the left. In this picture, they have mostly faded from view; such is not unusual in "referents." All in all, though, this is a historic picture, of a historic space ship. After the loss of the Pathmaker, this, some publicity videos, and a few blueprints are the only remains of that glorious ship and its brave, doomed crew. *Co-ordinated Solar Nations' InterStellar Ship
