Re: A Preview of my Fantasy Hero (ala.

Re: I Have In My Hand A List... Yeah, I was afraid it'd turn into this. Forget I asked.

Re: Help with a weapon master's assistant SS: Physics is always good. Skills regarding Computer Simulations as well. If you want to give the guy something to make him stand out, give him some artistic skills and have him intricately paint the bows and shafts or laser etch designs into the arrowheads in his spare time or something.

Re: Theme music I ran a game using Mr. Bennie's Getstalt setting once, and the character who was one of the gestalts of Pro Wrestling, Warhammer, had the Distinctive Feature that his theme music (AC/DC's "Thunderstruck") would play anytime he went into action, which made him somewhat useless for anything that required stealth.

Re: Background Cliches Four. In my old universe, the events of the Second War of the Worlds indirectly led to the creation of superhumans.

Re: Island of Dr. Destroyer as a one off? "No' date=' no - I'm trying to say that my sidekick and I... we have an [i']arrangement[/i]."

Alright, you alternate historians, riddle me this: It's become something of a cliche in superheroic universes that with the rise of McCarthyism, all but a few heroes retire and/or drop out of the public eye in some way. So what happens if McCarthy gets discredited right off the bat, whether from some Senator or patriotic super actually having the balls to say "You're a liar, and this isn't how we do things in this country", or pictures of Tailgunner Joe's (and his staff's) private peccadilloes turning up in the scandal rags, or from him being drunk and slamming his car into a tree or something? What would be the effect on the world, both Normal and Super, if the Second Red Scare had never happened? (I realize that McCarthy was only one the movers behind the Scare, and that Stalin and the Soviet Union was a real and evil force at the time, but let's not get too far into that discussion, and instead concern ourselves with the Superheroic aspects of things...)

Re: The City/Hero Connection No, just a former resident. I loved the Pioneer Valley, and if the job market hadn't gone to hell, we probably never would have left. That said, a lot of the flolks in the People's Republic of Amherst can be a little... uptight.

Re: Heros for hire? Looks like there's some available on eBay even as we speak...

Re: Heros for hire? You're about 20 years too late. The novels were based off the setting that TSR put out for the Top Secret/S.I. line, and as I recall, there was the original F.R.E.E.Lancers sourcebook and a follow-up worldbook, F.R.E.E. America.

Re: Achilles' Heels

Re: Achilles' Heels A character I just submitted to a PBeM game was a statue animated by an Atlantean crystal placed in its forehead. Remove the crystal, and he reverts to lifeless stone. (He wasn't chosen for the game, sadly.)
