    10 DNPC: Jane Foster (Unaware Useful Normal) 8-

    It could be argued both ways whether being involved with the Natalie Portman version

    of this character costs you points or gets you disad points. :)

    Re: Looking For Input On Potential New Fantasy Product

     

    call it ADVANCED BLUDGEONS & FLAGONS

    but seriously, just because you can do anything with Hero

    doesnt mean you have to.

    Use the KISS method.

     

    Make up or borrow a coherent, cool yet easy magic system, build that with Hero,

    and put that in the book. Let them figure out later they can build whatever they desire.

    Re: The War on Christmas

     

    as many have said, this sort of crime is way beneath their character.

    and from certain point of view, it is beneath White Knite.

     

    So he'll jump right on it, try to solve it and trace the Grinch himself down.

    Probably let a few more jobs happen so as to "gun-walk" in closer to head honcho.

     

    because this kind of thing can escalate. Grinch might be al-qaeda, or worse.

    besides, it gives me a chance to buy The Common Man as an 11 or less contact.

    Sandor-San could solve it fifteen minutes, unless the gangsters are ready for magic.

    Cosmo-Knite would maybe be on the its-beneath-me route, saying aren't there any noob heroes in town ?

    Could inspiration be had by watching the Mentalist, the Profiler and/or the new Sherlock one (googling) oh yeah: Elementary.

     

    even if he remembers a text, article, or conversation perfectly, the source may be incomplete, outdated, or just plain wrong.

     

    I KNOW!!! what if he read a Wikipedia article !

  17. The Good and Bad about Marvel and DC

    Annihilation was good on Marvel.

    Though diminished Groot is still Groot. Groot will not tolerate mockery.

    Mantis was great, and Super-Skrull, Nova, and Quasar. And then Raccoon nursing the seedling back at the end. Awesome shyte.

     

     

    I have not picked up a DC comic in years. and will not ... I could give you 5 dozen reasons,

    but putting a bullet through Blue Beetle's head was a big kicker. Stupid, Crass, Unnecessary

    Also DC is the home of Alan Moore, the father of Crass and Unnecessary

    In one of my games, the kid genius built CARNIVORE, the ultimate spy program.

    it basically did everything you could do with a crystal ball, as long as it was something

    justifiably connected with the Internet, such as a database, or a webcam.

     

    One could deduce a person's thoughts by reading their blog, their email, their spending habits,

    listening in on their house and work, tracking their driver's license, cell phone etc.

     

    It was similar to Liaden's ideas above, but with focus, extra time, etc.

    Tracking Scent - Wolverine.

     

    Force Wall : Sue Richards

     

    Distinctive Features (Verbal) {Sweet Christmas, Clobbering Time, Hoary Host of Hoggoth, etc}

    Let's play this game reversed:

     

    Which super in the comics had their Mind Scan powers work closest to the way described in Hero ?
