Re: THE BOOK OF THE DESTROYER: What Do *You* Want To See? Doc D is really a Gwenie. I hope the upcoming book explains this.

Re: Powers You've Never (or Seldom) Used? Mind Controll and Mental Illusions. I find that unless the pc or npc in question is throwing around 20% more active points in a given power than is the campaign norm they just arent effective. It seems that a little mental defence and ego make mental powers rather lacklustre. In games i am running mentalists tend to be immensely powerfull and serve as plot devices more than anything else; Menton manipulating things behind the scenes etc... Also, as a gm i dont like imposing that kind of dictum on my players.

Re: Most interesting character ideas you've seen from others? Poltergeist Generic aprentice to a supermage botches a spell and casts his soul out of his body, permanently. Always on Desolidification and invisibility. He could animate almost anything with his life force but it had to form a vaguely humanoid shape and no single component of this surrogate body could be more than a 5 Kg in weight. Bought as a VPP, only for duplicates, no duplicates more than 1000 points- with the duplicates having characteristics defined by what they were made of. The character had clinging with 'affects physical world' only for the purpose of sticking to his creations. Amongst other things the character at one time or another was comprised of stuffed toys, bee swarms, paperclips and office clutter and once when i hadnt thought ahead, several dozen hand grenades. The guy had a great grasp of the rules and wasnt a powergamer so things worked nicely, handgrenade manikin excepted.

Re: Unique, interesting powers Duplication with the special effect being someone reaching into an alternate universe and brow-beating his counterpart into helping him. Things can get rather complicated when several of your alternate selves are also capable of such, hence a Multipower full of Multiforms. If the PC wasnt available then an alternate self probably was, which caused no end of problems.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Tomb of Horrors? Yeah, encouraging the GM to mutilate pc's probably counts as Asshat behaviour- lest you are playing WHFRP or Dark Heresy:thumbup:.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Hey, not all of it is totally reprehensible. Yet, channel 4 in the workplace? That IS a very strange picture though

Re: Too real? I supose it depends if you are prepared to be fair-gamed for you hobby or not. More seriously ive always found real world organizations, or at least the way they react to conflict to be usefull when running a game. Supervillans trashing your city? Government procedure for dealing with natural disasters or terrorist attacks lends a very real feel to a game; if your player dig that then roll with it. At the very least it gives a backdrop to what the players are doing.

Re: where do the villains get the MONEY? Consider that stolen. Just what ever reputable villanous org. needs for the digital age.

Re: where do the villains get the MONEY? Where do the bad guys get funds? The respective Governments of the nations in which they reside; terrorist/freedomfighter, superhero/supervillan. Of course there is always that rumour about the Metamorph with Duplication that represents practically the entire welfare demographic...
