    Nukes & Overlap

    Yah, that is an issue, but since I'm use google earth to plot the points out I can adjust according to what I see. My primary concern is making sure initial damage to the area reflects what should have happened. In other words, I'd like to be able to lay a template over the detonation sites and be able to determine the rough area where things would have been vaporized, set on fire, or remain untouched, as well as where the pressure wave should have done damage and how much should be expected in an area.

     

    I use a random table built for Inspiration Pad to determine nuke spread from target zone, basically a scatter generator. I use the target potential of the site, from none to primary, to determine number of nukes, direction from target, and distance from target. I do adjust from there, adding or subtracting nukes as desired, or adjusting where they fall.

    Were it not for the question of how to cook the finished stuffed hamburger I would want that. A burger stuffed with shredded mozarelly or swiss sounds awfully good to me right now.

     

     

    And! Always And! Swiss AND Mozza! And Bacon.

     

    More on topic, I've seen lots of different patty formers. Mom had one that was a burger width tube. Meat goes in, press with plunger-thing, layer of wax paper, repeat.

    UNTIL Superpowers Database, and the "Ultimate" series have become key references for when I come up with new limitations, and try to come up with new ways of doing certain effects. Partly to see if what I want has been done, and partly to see how the author/authority on Hero System values advantages and limitations, and where Stop Signs have been posted.

    Batpod from The Dark Knight maybe. I don't recall a motorcycle in Batman Returns.

     

    I will hang my head in shame for confusing the two films. I did intend to say The Dark Night, but what came out was clearly "I am a defective moron".

     

    Thank you for that correction, I can now go commit seppuku

    The Dis-functionary!

     

    He causes minor social gaffs at formal events such as introducing honoured guests in the incorrect order, mis-pronouncing the name of an important person, or making an off the cuff remark that is itself harmless, except that some important person has reason to feel uncomfortable upon hearing it, and most around them know why. The gaffs are minor enough that no-one needs to comment on them, nor is an immediate apology required, but it casts a shadow of awkwardness over the event, in practical terms, causing penalties to any social skills.

     

    This power only works at events with a well known social protocol such as governmental receptions, wedding dinners, or dedication ceremonies.

    The actual shake recipe in the following story sounds ... formidable.

     

    But, what I find particularly mind-blowing are the comparisons that ... experts ... use in this story. I just KNOW that somebody somewhere will be thinking "SIXTY-EIGHT strips of bacon??? Hey, that sounds like a good idea for a new drink".

    Or to make a mug for the shake in question.
