Baddest Blood for me. It allows the most variety in the heroes and who doesn't like angst-ridden teens being manipulated by shadowy government agencies.

As I see it, any power that would be capable of this has issues that cannot be easily resolved . First, you are starting from the premise of building a power to work against a SFX: Power Suit. If the target gets all his powers from a Magic Belt or Bioweapon Sword then the power does what? If nothing then it's a power built to hose one type of SFX and I'd allow it as a Suppress, Dispel or Transform. I'd also have no problem with Teleport:UAA if the Power Armor in question was built as a vehicle. If it works on the other SFX then it's an instant win against anyone who uses any type of focus , which brings up issue two. If you want to say it can be used against any Focus bought with Inaccessible then I'd go with a flat emphatic no. The power breaks the contract of the game. Taking an Inaccessible Focus is supposed to require 1 turn out of combat. That is the risk condition that the creator of the target agreed to by taking that limitation, To create powers that change that is penalizing the player without giving any bonus in return. I'd expect enraged players if I was the GM using this against them and I'd have ... problems with any GM that tried it on me. Lastly, this power has no assurance that it will work at all. There are plenty of things that look like a focus but aren't(off the top of my head, full body cyborg conversion, psychic manifestation, symbiotic bioweapon and the others named above) and the user has no way of knowing in a combat situation which is which without an appropriate KS or spending the out of combat time trying to disable the target(who may be violently resisting such attempts).

Don't know how it will interact but looks good. The 2-hr premiere is Friday night.

Just saw it yesterday. I went in braced for it to suck and was very pleasantly surprised. There's only one moment that I thought the heroes were stupid but they were justifiably distracted when they lost the box. The personalities of our heroes were very well done. The action was some of the best in any superhero movie. The fights were just the right length and well choreographed not dragging on forever like MoS or BvS. If they learn from this movie, then they may just have a bright future ahead.

He goes to the authorities. He has plenty of ways to stop him without killing.

As comics nerds, we know that. But the mainstream audience is going to go " Who?" It doesn't help that he is a B-lister even among Darkseid's lackeys. Kailbak, Granny(and her Furies), Godfrey and DeSaad are all better known.

It looks really nice. Thank you for your time and hard work sir.

I've never thought 43 was a good president(not a bad person, just unqualified for the office). But his speech shows that he was morally fit for it and further crystallizes my opinion of Trump. Trump is a disgrace to our country and dangerous to our future. I never thought the day would come when a sitting president would lead attacks on freedom of expression and freedom of the press. Sadly. I expect things to get worse before they get better. My only hope is that a Russian smoking gun is found so he and his cronies can be sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

Funny, if you check my later post(271), I thought I said the same. Nanotech requires that the proper materials be at hand, the transporter just needs some in computer memory.

They ruled it a catch with a fumble before he crossed the goal line that he did not recover in bounds(supposedly he regained control of the ball after striking the pylon). Now if that is what happened then the ruling is correct but that's not what the ruling on the field was, and unless there is a replay angle not available to the public I don't see clear evidence to overturn the call.

The official rule is that you can add all your STR. There is an optional rule to restrict it to adding only STR equal to the weapon base in 6e that I am not sure is present in CC.

There are ways to do replication thru nanotech and that could be the way The Orville Universe functions. The ST transporter is matter energy conversion and energy matter conversion controlled by a ridiculous amount of computer processing and data storage.

Taken to just a little extrapolation, there's very few problems that replicator technology can't solve. Infinite resources means that the only constraints are how quickly you can build more replicators and distribute them. There will still be philosophical and religious arguments but no economic stress to escalate any conflicts.

Aquaman has a better personality, much better press coverage and a smoking hot wife. Namor just can't compete here,

It makes an even bigger joke of a hilariously bad system of eligibility. If you're just going to give out grades and diplomas by having sham classes, then anyone who gets in will earn a degree by taking them to bolster their GPA.. Add twelve shams hours of A's in with your regular courses and you're golden for sports but may have no more education than reading a newspaper if that.

Hockey is probably the most action but also equal to football in health issues.

The end of the NFL would have a larger impact on baseball than soccer in the short term unless there is a drastic change in the finances. Long term, soccer might become as popular here as football is now, but I'd think it would take as least two generations for that to happen(and baseball would still be going strong). Soccer is safer than football and hockey, but baseball and basketball will always be safer as far as head injuries are concerned.

Yeah, the only people hurt here were the student athletes and they were at least partially complicit. Money usually wins over integrity as the numbers involved grows larger.

There were plenty of concerns on TOS about the use of transporters. The technology was just being perfected and people were lost in transporter accidents. By the time of TNG, it was more reliable and only then were the holodecks put in service.

Well, aside from picking up trash in the yard, we seem to be fine, We were blessed to have worst parts of storm miss us.

So far, so good. It appears to be passing more to the west in Biloxi(50 miles from here) and not Mobile. Wind is picking up but no tornadoes down on-shore.

Still waiting for Nate. We've had steady rain nothing we can't handle so far.

So far, so good rain and wind are heavy but not threatening.

Well , the first rains from Nate are starting here now. The main storm is due in 8 hours.
