  1. "If a stupid plan works, it ain't stupid."--Murphy
  2. I draw my sword and say, "Monstrous spawn of the abyss! Back to whence you came! You shall not win this day! This day--you DIE!!!" You guys got my back on this, right? Right?
  3. If you can get a copy of Champions Battlegrounds (5th Ed.) there's two places that might suit your needs--a shopping mall and an amusement park. Both have plenty of innocent bystanders to endanger, plenty of items to use as improvised weapons--and in the parlance of video game design, fully destructible environments. Any sort of convention or trade fair would be a good place for a super-battle. Again, we have innocent people to endanger and items to use as weapons--and if it's a comic or sci-fi con, we have cosplayers who might decide to try their hand at superheroics. (It doesn't have to be sci-fi or superheroes, either. Check out the schedule for the Donald Stephens Center for some show ideas.) On a related note to conventions--a gun show has tremendous potential for chaos and catastrophe, especially in states that permit open and/or concealed carry. In any other situation a criminal suddenly faced with dozens, if not hundreds of armed individuals would be strongly inclined to surrender--but if that criminal was Bulldozer, or Holocaust, or someone like them, not so much. The potential for collateral casualties would be especially high. Hope that helps.
  4. This made me tear up a bit. . .
  5. I bought these when they first appeared. Always good to see the MLJ heroes get some attention--to my mind, they deserve it.
  6. The Joker cannot exist without Batman. That's been established in The Dark Knight Returns, the Legends Of The Dark Knight story "Going Sane," and the "Emperor Joker" storyline from Superman. If anything were to happen to Batman, it would be the end of the show for The Joker. He'd take a final bow--the curtain would fall--and he'd become normal. Or dead. Or something else. I'm not sure if Batman knows this--and if he ever figured it out, would he give up the cape and the cowl to shut down the mad clown? Would that be enough? Or would the clown find another reason to laugh? The Show Must Go On, after all. Rest You Well, Mr. Conroy. Thank You for lending your talent to Batman. Doggone it--this wasn't supposed to happen.
  7. "They Stole The Electron From Blake Masters!" I suppose it could be an autocorrect error. Naaahhh. . .
  8. Quite possibly the best action figure cosplay ever--
  9. In an argument between sausage and ice cream--most times I will take the ice cream.
  10. Nobody tell Charlie Bucket. Let him have one more dream.
  11. In Illinois you can claim your winnings anonymously--there's a place for it on the claim form. Someone can find out who won, however, by filing a request under the Freedom Of Information Act. I don't know how that works, so I don't know if just any curious slob can do it. Yes--having that much money all at once will change your life forever. How it changes your life--that's up to you. As a wiser man than myself--Albus Dumbledore--once said, "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices." Good Luck to all who play--and well-wishes to everyone else.
  12. Well--darn. There is no joy in Philly, and I'm not feeling so hot, myself. I'm just gonna sit and sulk for a while. Don't worry, I'll be all right tomorrow. I hope.
  13. I wouldn't call it a tax. Nobody forces you to play the lottery--but if you win and win big, you do have to pay taxes on the winnings. Otherwise you get the cell next to Capone. (Okay, maybe not that last one. But you do go to jail.) Any suggestions for casting Crusader & Starburst? Because I do want to fund that streaming series.
  14. Well--doggone it again. Here's hoping for a comeback in Houston. GO PHILLIES!!!
  15. Well--doggone it. It does make sense, though, that the team with the best record in the American League for this year wasn't going to roll over and die. This Series may just get to Game Seven. GO PHILLIES!!!
  16. I was thinking Black Harlequin as well. I had the idea that for Thanksgiving (which I posted in the Hero System Facebook Group) he would duplicate the infamous "Turkey Drop" from WKRP In Cincinnati. Only instead of live turkeys, he would use plush turkeys stuffed with explosives, and there would be hundreds of them, if not thousands.
  17. Seven runs in five innings. Is it too early to celebrate? GO PHILLIES!
