    I personally would go with "this is a brand new universe' date=' which contains counterparts of your old characters."[/quote']

     

    The best side effect of this past the lack of player angst, really, is you finally get to see everybody's favorite (or most reviled) villains team up (or fall out, as the case may be).

    Eh' date=' whatever. I consider it thinking outside a small box. I'm throwing out multiple ideas instead of harping on those given. :rolleyes:[/quote']

     

    And I'm trying to have a discussion. I'm sorry you think that my opinions are so below yours that you can only respond with condescension and eye-rolling smilies.

    Not necessarily true' date=' either. The castaways on [i']Gilligan's Island[/i] made themselves at home, as did the troops from Hogan's Heroes (who decided that staying as prisoners they could help the war effort better than escaping). Some, such as those on Lost realize there isn't a return and have started adjusting to their live.

     

    Comparing a cast of characters written by one or two scriptwriters with a plot resolution in mind to a cast of characters singly controlled by a number of different people with differing motivations and no plot resolution in their minds seems a bit applish/orangish.

    You could even do the 'alternate Earth' thing' date=' where a world with slightly altered histories for those characters exists that would have them currently solo but in need of a new team.[/quote']

     

    I'd recommend this approach, myself, if only to avoid the "in world not their own" angst and possible ignoring of your plots in favor of that search for the leap home.

    Well' date=' I don't think it really got that bad until towards the final issues where they were desperate to keep the book afloat.[/quote']

     

    Really? I thought it was pretty early on that they revealed the main female lead as a spineless **** whose rationale for wearing skintight, revealing outfits was that the more aroused she got, the stronger she got.

    Hero Alliance (Innovation) A book ahead of it's time. It presented superheroes in a sophisticated' date=' semi-realistic enviroment long before Kurt Busiek's Astro City.[/quote']

     

    I seem to recall that book starting out interesting, but then quickly falling into the "slavering fan-boy writing at its worst" zone.

    Heya Agent' date=' I'm still using the old file so I'll probably be doing a little copy/paste action from your site. Would you mind taking a look at the first draft of the conversion doc when I get it finished?[/quote']

     

    I'll be glad to. I'm not the best person to ask when it comes to game mechanics and such, but I'm always happy to look at the other bits.

     

    While we're on the subject, I may be firing up a PBeM set in Center City, with the PCs being legacy heroes from the team who took part in the original Crisis At Crusader's Citadel. I'm busting out the V&V rules for old time sake, but if you want me to let you know when things start, give me the word.

    Yeah' date=' the guy maintaining it asked me which one I wanted to use when I mailed about it. (Of course, it would be par for the course on this thread that Alwyn is the maintainer...)[/quote']

     

    Yeah, it would be funny if it turned out he was involved in this thread.

    7. A Slaying Song Tonight: What do you get when you've got a serial killer who dresses like Santa, drives a sleigh of reindeer, and kills people by running them over with razor sharp sled blades?

    A bad movie starring Bill Goldberg?

     

    8. Merry Christmas, My Enemy!: One of the more honorable of your enemies, believing you're going to be alone this Christmas, invites you to a neutral country (i.e. where he can't be deported) to spend time together for Christmas. He promises a good Christmas dinner and the exchange of (non-lethal) gifts. Dare you trust him? Can even a supervillain celebrate the holy day in the spirit of the season?

    The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine

    And forced him to land behind the enemy lines

    Snoopy was certain that this was the end

    When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

     

    The Baron then offered a holiday toast

    And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host

    And then with a roar they were both on their way

    Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

  20. "Neat" Pictures

    Re: "Neat" Pictures

     

    That's an impressive pic, alright, but...can you really see the differences in ocean depth like is shown in the pic? I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in other pics, though I admit I haven't been looking. For that matter, I see a definite lack of cloud cover, as well.

     

    I'm not trying to "pick apart" the pic or say it's bad or anything, just commenting it seems a tad unusual and was wondering if anyone knew for sure...

    Re: A Question on Liaisons

     

    Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe' date=' the Military (in general, no pun intended) is a meritocracy. People don't get put into positions for who they know, they are put there because of their skills/past performance. [/quote']

     

    Well, it's good to know they got that squared away since I was in the service...

    Re: A Question on Liaisons

     

    I saw that you made him a general's son' date=' still doesn't matter. He isn't even remotely qualified to serve in that position and the general would be brought up on charges for illegal command influence by JAG or the IG so fast it'd make his stars spin.[/quote']

     

    Wuzzat? People being appointed to government positions they're not qualified to have based solely on who they know or who they're related to? The devil you say! It's a good thing that sort of thing only happens in these imaginary worlds of ours.
