Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat Some of the danger-room equipment is still working. Yeah, that'll "surprise" some of the folks working on clean-up all right. NT: A new holiday no-one has ever heard of before, to celebrate at or around the December solstice.

Re: Having Star Hero Parallel this world in the 18th-19th Centuries You forgot the third dimension. Without it, you're just playing a strategy game (a la Avalon Hill) with some "kool" names/terms added on. Now, if that's what you're after, fine.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Why is Gaby moaning like that? A: Text, yes. Sub, no.

Re: Post Apocalypse "holidays" I'd add the date of the nuclear war in A Canticle for Leibowitz, but Miller was too cagey to give a date for that; not even a decade is given.

Re: Post Apocalypse "holidays" January 19th, 2038, when *NIX systems will think we're living in negative time.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: I tell you that the fax machine is trying to kill me, and all you say is "don't worry" What gives? A: I'm not going to talk about the copier.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: I'm re-writing Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and I'm having soooo much fun! Ya wanna join me? A: Not after I tied its tail in a knot!

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Says here "Aquaman has been experimenting with alternative sexuality." What effect will that have on my life? A: The monkey got into the nuts again.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat I'm Tony Stark, and I'm not dead.

Re: Seacouver, Washington: take 3 I don't see why. A bit of dredging at you could have it where I suggested before. As for the crime lab; is there a reason you didn't ant it in Seacouver?

Re: Answers & Questions Q: What do Pam Anderson's breasts and the spoons used at the Mental Asylum have in common? A: There's also the shape!

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat I Saw Mommy Kissing Her Sister Under The Mistletoe. NT: Inappropriate songs to sing anytime.

Re: Having Star Hero Parallel this world in the 18th-19th Centuries Um, if I understand you, you are suggesting a setup where various multi-star-spanning "space empires" echo the geo-political situation in Europe in the 1700's to 1800's. Is that correct? Ah, so you are going to have extra-terrestrial races? Because there's only one human race. Err... What?? You have a severe problem here: Earth's surface is (effectively) two dimensional, space is three dimensional. You will have grave difficulties mapping one onto the other. Indeed, it probably can't be done. Um, what do you mean by "earth's zones of control"???

Re: Would this require shapeshift You are absolutely correct. If you (generic) want something, you can't claim it's "Special Effects" without heading at warp speed for Munchkinland. Turn into a hawk? Pay for it. Have a "hybrid form" ? Pay for it. And it definitely is simpler to have three sheets each with straight-forward powers, skills, stats, etc., than one sheet full of "except/unless/only if/etc."

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Why has the hero team, Determiners Of Judgement allowed "Code Monkey" to join them? A: But only with pizza!!

Re: Seacouver, Washington: take 3 BTW, I found what looks to me like the best fit to your description: http://tinyurl.com/yqxj7w It's on the Pacific Coast in Jefferson County (though just barely), with two rivers meeting, and the combo flowing a little way to the ocean. Mind you, the coast there (as throughout Jefferson county and Clallam county to its north) is Bad News™ for ships, being full of rocks, massive kelp, and such. Also, most of that coast is a cliff. Still, you can fudge things if you want. No reason not to channelize Fisher Rapids and cut across that big loop down into Grays Harbor County.
