Moody Loner

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Couple of my lines from the last Champions game: (watching the CF as the group tries to stop a popcorn cart from being stolen, moments after getting my butt whomped trying to take a 1000+ point villain solo): "At least when I do something idiotic, it's because of my Psycological Limitations." (after tracking down who was disrupting the festival by stealing snack vendors' carts): "Guys, you'd better get over here. I found the culprit, I'm by myself, and I'm negotiating."

Re: Old School, Yesterday's Heroes I'd play it.

Re: Power Rangers This sounds eerily familiar... Don't I wish. Then again, that might be a little difficult to explain to Mrs. Moody (see "one woman who can truly understand him" above) PS: You knew I was going to riff on that, didn't you?

Re: Power Rangers Took care of it, Hermit. Course, he got my 3 instead of your 51, but I can't help that.

Re: What's the most ridiculous PC you've ever been subjected to? Actually, Barney was a demon from the Abyss that ate Seeker, but we won't get into that game right now...

Re: What's the most ridiculous PC you've ever been subjected to? Okay, if the Viper agents are pointing and laughing as you're "stealing" the suit, maybe you'd better just toss it off a bridge on the way home. Purple kangaroo? Man, that's just mean. I suppose it could have been worse, it could have been a purple dinosaur...

Re: Critique and Help... Daz Studio. Me too broke for Poser.

Re: Critique and Help... Am I misreading that, or is that Cvk, Protective of Innocents, and Berserk? If you didn't want to be so "Angel after whatshisname got through with him" you could sacrifice some of the MA to get an OIF Bladeshooter or something. Personally, I think it works as is. You've got some points left, give the poor girl some defenses! She'll thank you for it. [EDIT] woops, missed the Combat Luck. And I do tend to over-defense my characters, anyway. Nice render, btw. I'm stil trying to get accessories and clothing to associate and go where they're supposed to be.

Re: First Character of My Creation.. What do You All think of It?? I suggest Teleport - only along electrical lines- rather than Flight. For a first character, a good job. A lot better than my first Champions character...

Re: Marvel's Exiles: Hyperion Challenge--build a team to beat him! Okay, I've got it. Gary and WhammeWhamme draw Hyperion into the interminable Lariat debate, then Moody Loner Kamehamehas him. Wait, none of us are Marvel characters. Dammit.

Re: Could your Champions character beat... Assuming a neutral GM, if he plays Cap believably, I'm done. With that, I'm done. Night, all.

Re: Could your Champions character beat... Yeah, you think?

Re: Could your Champions character beat... Are you two still arguing about this? Look, here's my munchkined character. I will freely admit borderline rules abuse, the difference is I don't thiink he can beat Cap.

Check. God-awful movement powers? Check. Able to defeat Captain America? Nope. Sure, if Cap's dumb enough to let me control the fight and play my strengths against his weaknesses, the 430 point difference won't help him. But, and here is the subtle point Gary is missing, Cap isn't stupid. He's made a career out of going up against people with more raw power, and defeating them by controlling the fight, with superior skills and experience. Moody wouldn't make him break a sweat. Much as I'd like to think my character is all that and a side of fries

Re: Could your Champions character beat...

Re: Marvel's Exiles: Hyperion Challenge--build a team to beat him! I've been watching too much children's TV with my daughter. My first thought was, "Well, if you really think a talking turtle will help..."

Re: Could your Champions character beat... No. Even my character BASED on Cap would get schooled...at least now. Ask her again in about 50 exp. Moody Loner or Spartacus would get beaten like a cheap drum. Spartacus at least would have the wit to surrender and negotiate, but poor Moody, especially once his Enraged kicked in, would go Super Saiyajin, then be sent on an express trip to GM's Discretion courtesy of Cap's shield and vastly superior fighting ability.

Re: Something we should all look into.. Color me impressed. Downloaded the basic software to get proficient with it in my spare time (HA!) so that I can start collecting add-ons for it when things are better (HA!). Looks like fun.

Re: The Fan Boy Brigade Okay. I think this says enough, but the board doesn't...

Re: I want to run a Bad Comics game Taking a cue from your sig, at least one group's name should use the acronym AHAWE.

Re: Need help with a character concept... Took a look at that, and there's no real power construct for him. We might have to go with my "do up about thirty characters and pick them at random" idea or her "roll up with tables based on the Superhero Generator in the Champions book" idea. That said, I should have looked there first, as that's where I saw how to do a couple of things on "Moody Loner" that were bugging me. I'll be mining his page for construct ideas for decades .

...for the East Coast Supers game I was talking about earlier. The GM wants two characters - a 700 point (500+200) retiring veteran and a 300 point (150+150) recruit. The newbie has a negotiable 60 AP cap, the veteran a negotiable 100 AP cap. CV cap is 12 The recruit is getting 20 xp for the first two or three game sessions. Oh, and the game's set in 1957. Now, I don't need help with my character, I have a version of Tao (from the New Circle thread) for my veteran and a version of my Goku ripoff "Moody Loner" (from the "Show me the PC" thread) for my newbie. My wife, however, is working on the Sleeper for her 300 point character. Read "Wild Cards"? Yeah, that Sleeper. I told her I'd post a thread for suggestions on how to do someone who completely changes every time they sleep, and I'll encourage her to read the responses. Thanks in advance.

Re: Jack-Jack Parr Speaking of the NSA files...(and back on topic) Didn't some of Jack-Jack's powers look similar to, say, Gazerbeam's, Brimstone's, and whatshisname the density guy... Probably a coincidence.

Re: The New Circle Been out for a long time with RL issues. Will probably be scarce and lurking for a while longer. Characters look good, people.

Re: The New Circle Yeah, RL got in the way. Tomorrow, I hope.

Re: The New Circle yeah, I've been having naming problems, also...
