Re: A request for some old V&V Stuff thanks again for doing all that work!

Re: Your Character's Room at the Base Cosmo-Knite is a guy-gardner style green-lantern wanna-be. He simulates the powers a lantern would normally have with stolen foci. plus he's a hot-shot lawyer. So his room has backup foci, souvenir foci, and spare foci. He has a great computer hook-up and video-phone because he's well connected and conceited. There's a large law library on file, plus database and net research. presumably there's a trophy, picture, and news-article wall; of course skipping the day where he lost his official knite status. (picture the Oans taking back their ring)

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Elasti-Man is wrestling a necromancer into submission. EM has powers terribly similar to plastic man of the JLA. his player tells the GM: "each round I form a different item from Black-n-Decker, and then try it on his head" round one: belt-sander, necromancer still conscious. round two: power saw, necromancer taking stun. round three: nailer, necromancer KOed. E-Man tells the team: Nail-Gun Noogie gets'em every time!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... in space, the heroes are rescuing a quartet from their trapped cruiser. the team teleporter, who has obscene teleport, 0-end, (really x-dim move) starts bringing food and water to the heroes and survivors. he tells the GM: "I cater the rescue"

Re: Lets cut the crap... you wont hear me criticize until they do 6th edition any sooner than 5 years from now. if they start going the GW/amway route they will lose me, not that they may care

Re: Most Feared Disadvantage my character the "failed green lantern" Cosmo-Knite has Berserk. I was like the first to take that in our game group in like 8 years.

Re: Spy network as a power? a similar concept we used was Presence Drain. it was called whispering campaign. after a few phone calls your reputation was crud

Re: An Open Call to Action and then when the suggestions are compiled we get 6th edition? no thank you.

Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants any one but egyptoid, that dude is nuts. sometimes he doesnt even total up the powers on a character sheet. sometimes he doesnt even balance a character. sometimes he just runs a story and doesnt even care about the math. how non-hero is that?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER let's all chip in a dollar to get MIGHTYBEC to change back his flippin avatar. I want to hurl each time I view the new one

Re: Clix mod challenge SCOURGE. yes that's perfect. and understandable since I have so few ultimates. the mod its for: (cue weird music) Phantom Stanger

Re: I have 100 arms... I can: keep a supply of arrows, rocks or blades handy, he can fusillade with some hands while others do magic, for example. have a high speed like 8: he only runs on 4 phases, but can shoot or cast on 4 more in between entangle damage shield: anyone stupid enough to engage close by is grappled by a dozen spare hands. an opening salvo could be (assuming eight heros) an autofire 12 of hurled objects at each player. at least 65 STR. at least.

Re: Hero 5th vs. M&M Problems with M&M: Disad system is weak. - - - too few types of disads, too few allowable per character. Big Numbers change too often in combat: - - - protection levels and dmg save vary round to round. - - - dmg saves are a moving target (pardon the pun) Many powers are described too weakly or too broadly - - - some 2 point powers kill easily - - - some 5 point powers can't slice bread. I didnt feel there was anything M&M offered I couldnt do with Hero. ( I have both DMed and played several months of M&M recently) The only thing M&M inspired me to improvise into Hero would be : Fumble, Critical, Take 1O, Take 2O. As my old Pal Desmarais sez: M&M is a great game, once you convert it to Hero System.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Let's talk about Will-Power...

Re: Rewrite your PC(s) as Iron Age Villians! my super-dude Cosmo-Knite is so close to being a villain it isnt funny. he had his star knight powers (think Green Lantern) revoked, but he still acts like one by using other people's old foci to simulate all the powers. he's bloodthirsty and often goes berzerk in combat. he's boastful, and to top it off he's a hot-shot lawyer in his other ID. all it would take is one more adventure going south and he'd probably cross some line. (thread necromancy)

Re: The Hero curse I have it slightly. but a friend of mine, wow. if he's at a movie with another hero gamer, he can't shut up: "That's at least 4O STR." "looks impressive but it only 2 dice Killing, its the stun multi that gets ya" "that's just a PRE attack"

Re: A request for some old V&V Stuff HOO DEE HOO ! (Sonora gives me glee!)

Re: Clix mod challenge 1. how would you guys do a fedora? any clix that wear one? 2. can you guess who I want to mod that needs a fedora? 3. I'd be willing to pay or trade for one

Re: A request for some old V&V Stuff If I get you an ad (that you don't have) will you write up Sonora?

Re: Web page update and new miniature pictures BUT She had the coolest entangle ever written! she was psychic, and to stop you, she mentally conjured 7 megatheriums (giant ground sloths), one each color of the rainbow, and they tackled you to the ground. each one was 2 of her dice, so it was a 14 dice entangle. now the megatheriums were just SFX, but man it was great. sloth sloth sloth sloth sloth sloth sloth there you were, flat on your butt, grappled by a maelstrom of multi-colored fur. if that didnt take you out of the battle, then the laughter of your teammates certainly would.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... COSMO-KNITE: team, under no circumstances approach the city... ELASTI-MAN: okay, I'm not, I'm just going to get a closer look at it. GM: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzot

Re: Gimme a cool challenge...

Re: Web page update and new miniature pictures have you done Sonora yet? I just love her.
