Wow. I didn't realize it, but all the Talislanta books I have are the First Edition ones.
 
Crazy.
 
Someone should run a Talislanta game online.

Damn it! I just hit Cancer.
 
Honey, can you wipe that off at the next gas station?

I could be mistaken but it could be the return of the Hero forum Fantasy Football League.
 
I quit obsessively watching the NFL and doing fantasy football the year that Peyton Manning was drafted, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the info. I will consider your offer.

I have a pretty big audience through my podcast and we usually use roll20. I run a West Marches game and an active small discord with games being run all the time.
 
I've been streaming my BX games.

WTF is this now?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER
 
In an attempt to get us ramped up for the coming holiday...

MAYONNAISE
 
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England.
 
In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
 
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
 
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
 
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as "Sinko de Mayo."

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER
 

Trivia: The Titanic was a modern vessel for its time, and was one of the few ships in the world to carry the new-fangled wireless equipment. When it struck the iceberg it became the first ship in the world to send out the universal call for help that we know so well today, "Mayo-day!"

Finally tracked down all the mistakes and got a decent version of the old starfield avatar. Self-produced, so there's no question of copyright issues, which definitely existed with the original avatar image.
 
Here's the original image from which the avatar was carved:

If you reveal some juicy plot details, please make good use of the SPOILER notification to avoid ruining someone else's pleasure...
 
For me, "Something from the Nightside" by Simon R. Green stands out. Fast paced urban fantasy with interesting characters. Sequel is "Agents of Light and Darkness".
 
I give it an "8" out of 10.

Wage-slaving sucks. I'm not happy to have returned.

Anyone have a nice little combat record sheet? I think I used to have one, but could use one now.
 
Anyone?

Re: Rifts HERO?
 

I've run into that same issue before with other aspects of RIFTS. I remember one GM trying to tell me that the descriptions of the Juciers were supposed to be mostly hyperbole.
 
But why should a game like RIFTS have to resort to exaggeration to sound cool? Is there the implied suggestion here that nobody would be interested in playing a game where characters were really "hundreds of times stronger and faster" than a normal person?
 
Why not have a game where the characters match up to the hyperbole?
 
 

Spiderman is not equal to Quicksilver, and Quicksilver is not equal to Spiderman. Sure, many characters can run more quickly than the web-slinger, but IMO few are actually more agile. I'd apply that same observation to Juicers and Borgs.
 
I'd let Borgs do tremendous running and jumping (far more than Juicers), but Juicers would still be the kings of DEX!
 
 

By the term: "how they feel in the other game," Are we talking about how Borgs are actually described, or how they play out in the Palladium system? Because I have no interest in preserving anything about the specific feel of the other game system.
 
Palladium
 
Make Borgs how they were supposed to be----HERO style!

Just got back from cooking with the work crew. Pasta with fried veggies and ham. Tasted nice. I'm a good chef (one of the things I've inherited from dad. Another one is my shape) Crappy dessert, though. Dark chocolate and kiwi don't mix.

The last one is where the writing starts and goes across a few posts. I'd also comment that it isn't ALL my writing, but stuff from a pbem/post game. Read it at your own leisure. Feel free to comment to any of them.

It all became moot when I once more delved into the depths of Depths of Space on the Star Hero board.

Another NPC for my upcoming WotG game and more experimenting with Painter, this time heavily using the oil brushes as opposed to the watercolor stuff earlier.

Re: Things you do to acheive immersion
 
Nope. I'm too lazy.
 
Though, my Fantasy game is 4th Age Middle Earth (shameless plug)... There is a thread in this FORUM! Read and post!
 
So, I do use as many maps and pics from various sources that I can. The mood I try to reach is normally attempted through my method of describing the situation. But, as the game hasn't gone as well as I've liked, I probably should work up something else...

Re: Musings on Random Musings
 

Re: The New Circle
 
"How much longer, Reflector?," asked a nervous man pointing a pair of large pistols at the door he was facing. His attention kept shifting to the man in silver who was working on violating the laser security around the prize they wanted.
 
"Don't worry about what he's doing," said the other man in the room, clad in a white shell. "Keep focused on your side of the room. The others should be keeping the Streak busy until we're done."
 
"I just want to get this over with and get out of here before there's trouble," said the pistolero. "I should have gone into demolition."
 
"Do you mind Heatseeker?," asked Reflector, making an adjustment. The laser array redirected itself long enough for him to pick up the gold and brass head piece they had targeted for theft.
 
"Let's go," said Reflector, placing the headpiece into a canvas bag hanging from his belt.
 
"I can't believe you dudes are trying to rob and go," said the Shadow Streak, appearing in the doorway in front of them. "That's so unlike you."
 
"Replicate," said Reflector.
 
The trio multiplied into a dozen men in strange costumes. That made Heatseeker nervous enough to fire his pistols, and all of his duplicates fired with him. The bullets broke apart into micro sized pellets that would follow anyone they locked on.
 
"Not this tired bit again," said the Streak, disappearing from the room, missiles in tow.
 
The men in the white shells pointed in all directions, forming a wall around the villains. The solid ice sheet extended into a dome over them. That would buy them some time to get away from the scene. Not even the Streak would search the whole city house to house.
 
Everything had not gone according to plan, but they still had enough time to make it out clean as long as they didn't panic.
 
The black clad Shadow Streak ran from the museum room. His powers told him that all of the missiles fired by Heatseeker and his clones were real. Somehow Reflector had made his images into real things. Now the speedster had to ditch them as fast as possible, and get back where this run had started from.
 
The Streak hit the street, and really poured it on. The missiles sensing their victim was gone, exploded in the empty road. Fragments peppered parked cars, and storefronts, but no innocents were hurt.
 
The Streak returned to the museum in a moment. He searched the place, but had to admit he had been foxed by Reflector and the rest. Whatever they had wanted from the storehouse, they got clean away with while he was ditching his hounds.
 
He had a feeling he had not heard the end of this, but he was done for the night. The police had the diversionary team, and were on the way. All he could do was find out about what was stolen.
 
Then he could try and get it back.
