  1. Re: PRIMUS or UNTIL I don't have any UNTIL but my favorite PRIMUS album is Sailing the Seas of Cheese, followed closely by Pork Soda.
  2. Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Incontinence Hero
  3. Re: DC Suckverse? Wow, not only is that a drastic oversimplification of the issue, it doesn't even come close to stating the many other available options. Infinite Crisis has been an excellent story, and I look forward to the retooled DCU.
  4. Re: If YOU have been playing Hero since the 80's why do you still keep coming back? I think I keep coming back out of morbid curiousity, or possibly for the free snacks...
  5. Re: The Invisible World But they are in the setting mechanically -- from the creation of the first version they are assumed. Everything else is a diversion from that norm. Since you are adding a new permutation and special effect you need a mechanical justification from that norm.
  6. Re: The Invisible World While I understand your point, to most people the two are synonymous. Champions is Hero and vice versa.
  7. Re: Your "2006" Pet Gaming Projects I am writing a new SF RPG; codename Heisenberg.
  8. Re: The Invisible World For Champions I think the mechanical aspect is critical. This is Champions after all...
  9. Re: Chronicles of Gor SNIP Yes, you are absolutely right, it is a Fantasy World if you are a normal well adjusted person. However as I have personally witnessed with my own eyes, and has been mentioned exhaustively in the last few hundred posts to this thread, there are a lot of abnormal and not well adjusted people in the world. I personally feel the idea of slavery is a lot more dangerous than even the objectification of women. Since slavery is the objectification of EVERYONE. However both are pretty fscking reprehensible. There are legions of people who hold this up as a lofty ideal, they have clubs, there women dress up like slaves and they think this is serious stuff. Basically I think you have missed the whole point, and that is that you cannot expect reasonable behavior from unreasonable people; and that a lot of stuff that seems cool to people at twelve is not cool at all. Maybe you should read the entire context of the conversation next time.
  10. Re: Sci-fi wear swords? Why do I constantly see this headline as Re: Sci-fi Swear Words? and not Re: Sci-fi wear swords? Damn these eyes...
  11. Re: Top Ten All-Time 'Favorite' Superhero RPG Books Ever Strikeforce Champions 4th Champions 3D DC Heroes DC Heroes Watchmen
  12. Re: Chronicles of Gor I read all 26. There is chaff as well as wheat to be had, as in all things. the first time I heard there were "Tuchuks" at an SCA event I almost crapped my pants laughing so hard.
  13. Re: Infinite Crisis If they work Superman: Red Son into this new continuity I will all but 'splode in geeky ecstasy... Red Son is the coolest alternate Superman in the history of the character.
  14. Re: Sex and the Single Superhuman Weirdman / Joe is married with a loving wife who is a police officer attached to Special Crimes in the NYPD. She has some vague suspiscions that he is hiding something; but no idea that Joe is a closet homosexual with a long history of short affairs with men. She did see him, or someone who looked exactly like him, exiting a bathhouse in midtown during an investigation a few weeks ago.
  15. Re: Sci-fi wear swords? 1/ swords are simple weapons. 2/ swords need no ammunition. 3/ swords are a military tradition. 4/ less danger to bystanders. 5/ silent.
