    And for the super-powered minion to transport the "Guilty", The Bailiff, suggested powers would consist of either teleport or summon, entangle (for restraining prisoners), suppress (for dampening prisoner powers), Mind Scan for locating those being summoned to appear in court.

    Moore's Law (which is what's known as an "empirical law", meaning that it's just an observation that holds true much of the time, as opposed to a scientific law, which describes the way the universe works) states that computing power doubles every eighteen months.

     

    A desktop computer of 2104, by this standard, will be roughly 1.20 x 10^20 times more powerful than today's models. That's 120 quintillion, folks.

     

    What could you do with that kind of processing power and storage?

    The Sentinel TV Series from Sci-fi and

     

    Deathstroke the Terminator....He routinely kicks the Teen Titans collective butts...without superpowers, just extreme skills, training, and a few cool gadgets...I suspect he could be a match for HoJ :)

    I would like to see some mention of skill degredation and retraining. Some skills after periods of non-use degrade...and retraining may be required to "brush up" in that area. Other factors can affect skills causing them to degrade also, such as age, health, stress, etc.

  19. Publishing Fiction

    in Champions

    Re: Publishing Fiction

     

    1. I am suffering from an extreme lack of creative writing skills....but maybe someday.

     

    2. These would definately be on my buy list...after all I also suffer from the psych lim: must buy all thins Hero.

     

    3. Any and All...I would really enjoy some fiction set in TE, but also anything set in the Heroverse in any genre....

     

    4. In the superhero genre I would prefer Dark Champions street level type heroics.

     

    5. Hurry!!!!

    Re: M&M: this is a Nightmare?

     

    And you only need two dice!

     

    Hawksmoor

     

    I actually like having loads of dice....nothing can replace the look on a players face when you ask to borrow dice from around the table for Dr. D,s damage roll.... :idjit:

     

    Plus I like the cross genre compatability possible with Hero :love:

  24. Starship design - How much space does THAT take up?

    Re: Starship design - How much space does THAT take up?

     

    I'm ok with moving to Herofandom.

     

    I seem to remember in Champions II (or one of the other older books) there was also a discussion of how many hexes equipment, labs, danger rooms, etc took up in a headquarters or vehicle. Perhaps if someone has a copy there would be useful info there that could be converted to 5E and added to the whole schmear!!

    Re: Starship design - How much space does THAT take up?

     

    Good point.

     

     

     

    I have a problem with the interior volume calc. How do they get at 50%? Thats an awfull big reduction. Plus, how much of that 'missing' 50% includes volume for equipment? I'm guessing that the 50% is usable volume - rooms, hallways, bridge, crew quarters, etc.

     

    Aroooo

     

    Thats my take on it also. I beleive that the intent was 50% for passageways, berths, deck space, cargo, and voids. The missing 50% would be ships equipage (this is equipment permanentlt attached to a ship vice portable items of equipment) like engines, weapons, control systems, and other hardware. :rolleyes:
