Narratio

Re: Complicate the Person Above death tribble was used as a back scrubber while his life went on to be quite famous in an off Broadway production of "Springtime for Hitler".

Re: Complicate the Person Above Very few posters realize that death tribble keeps count of the amount of times his name appears in posts. Nobody is sure why, although I suspect he's making a variation on a "naughty or nice" list.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Marcus was once thought to be Marc Bolan on a bad hair day, but his hair dresser inisists that this is not true.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Cancer has been called as an expert witness in the court case to make Pi equal to exactly 3.

Re: Complicate the Person Above It's often commented that I play Sancho Panza to death tribble's Don Quixote. Next time you see him flailing away at a windmill, trying to beat it to death, please remember this and make allowances for him.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Apparently Lenin was killed by an unemployed ballet critic. It's rumoured that death tribble funded the hit, but nothing has ever been proven.

Re: Complicate the Person Above death tribble taught Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer everything he knows about music. Which is a bit of a shame really.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Apparently, way back in the 60's, Mort Wiesinger got the idea of the bottled City of Kandorfrom a visit to death tribbles basement workshop. Although he never said anything about what he'd seen, it should be noted that both Titano (the Super Ape) and stories about the Green Glob all appeared in the following year. Coincidence? I think not.

Re: Complicate the Person Above death tribble has patented an edible wig. Apparently designed for those balding and shy daredevil adventurers who may need emergency rations after been trapped on the side of a mountain say for a week or so. The patent application notes that flavours can include fish, fowl, game, veggies, sweeties, fruits and melamine.

Re: Complicate the Person Above I'd just like to point out that I was just covering for the tribble who, having accepted a considerable sum from a group of widows (all of whom had been married to now dead Nigerian / Liberian / Congolese prime ministers, presidents and rich merchant bankers) to give Nigeria the first place, was now reneging on the deal. He'd taken the cash and invested it in offshore fish farms, ran an IPO on them and used the proceeds to buy a Kentucky goat farm, claimed a tax loss and, with a US Federal grant for not growing Mohair, plowed everything into a fluorescent tube sock venture run by a group of Russians out of Nagasaki. Which he then handed over to the Yakuza for forgiveness of his debts after the failure of the Mount Fuji eco-tourism venture went bust. Look, the deal, like the tribble, was complicated.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Of course I was, once again, only trying to cover up the fact that it was death tribble who redirected the voters into an on-line gambling site. He made a fortune off of the punters from that little scam.

Re: So how did you guys learn the system? Same as Lucius, started so long ago it's hard to remember (Nurse! can I have my reading glasses please?) but the Zeppelins were darned noisy. I came into Champions from D&D (3 small booklets in a... never mind) and I'd entered that from regular wargaming (20/25mm painted metal figures used to... oh forget it). We'd created and played a gladiatoral combat system (As written in Military Modelling magaine in... never mind) and, as part of a league we were keeping our gladiators through different games. So we started creating back stories for them. Which meant, when D&D came out, it all seemed natural... honest Mi'lud! Why not forget the character generation and use the pregenerated charcters that come with the rules? Or download a few from Mike Surbrook? Play with those and then, with the hook set, show your players how to modify those characters via use of experience points. Then show them how to build thier own characters. Like most addictions, let it sneak up on the poor fools... Bwaaah haah haaah hah!

Re: Complicate the Person Above Not many people remember that ABBA started out on the Eurovision Song Contest. And who was it started ABBA on this road to fame and profit? The death tribble of course, the Dark Eminence behind the band.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Oddly enough death tribble is noted as one of correspondents in the divorce of Abby and Esther. As the full court proceedings are still sealed we can only wonder. Why, why, why, why wonder...

Re: Creatures from Skull Island Actually, I kinda' like it.

Re: Need some plot ideas for a campaign I agree with Wyrm completely. What do the players need? That said, a way to go is to retrofit an overall storyline into many of your players prior encounters. mainstream writers do this all the time. So your players Fought Mr.A when he was trying to steal XXX. He said he needed it for something but was that the real reason? And did anybody notice a silent watcher at the scene? No (well, no, because when that game was played you hadn't thought of it, but that's beside the point). There's a news stand opposite the event where a guy selling papers sees what's happening. Is he just a guy selling papers? At the time of the game, yes. But with a refit, no. Throw a few wierd comments into everygame. Let your subconcious play around and I'll bet you can craft many such supposedly one shot games into part of a larger plot even if, at the time, they mean nothing to anybody, including yourself. One of the best of these was an Avengers story, early 80's I think, where Hank Pym, back as Ant man, goes into the Vision to fix him. You get a one panel "Hey, wonder what that is?" and it's forgotten about for 20 years. A throw away plot hook left alone for 20 years... Cool. Try it, it may work for you.

Re: Eurostar Chaos! Life imitating crazed gamers art once again.

Re: What If: You were the world's 1st superhuman? The level of strength is just enough to destroy every motor reflex I've ever learnt, without being in any way useful expect in fighting. So I'd bugger off and spend time learning how to touch things and exert pressure. Strange invulnerability. Given that the kinetic energy from a low velocity 50mm WW2 era cannon is less than a modern high velocity 30mm I'd ignore it until I discovered what it really was. After all a decent industrial plate cutter can, water powered or laser could still slice me like I was a soft boiled egg. My time alone learning how to use that strength would also grow some hair. Id find a decent machine shop, get my hair cut and sell it to Dupont Chemicals fro a barrel load of cash. Let them try and duplicate it for it's industrial load bearing applications. Regeneration. Nope, not gonna put myself in harms way that often and I don't fancy performing a destructive test to discover its limits. Mach 2 flight. Hmmm, two times the speed of sound. Can't use that any where populated or I'd be up to my armpits in legal actions. No idea if my invulnerability covers me against trying to fly at this speed, as i still need to breath I think I could only do this for a minute or so at a time, by holding my breath. Wind pressure at that speed would flatten my lungs otherwise. Still, I could save a bunch on short distance travel expenses. Eiditic Memory? Oooh. That's nice. While being out alone relearning all those motor erflexes I'd be reading everythig I could lay my hands on. Then sit a whole bunch of exams, hoping I'm smart enough to be able to apply everything I've remembered to answering the questions. If successful it's time to make my own wealth.

Re: Complicate the Person Above death tribble is a great supporter of the Eurovision Song Contest having co-writing credits on many, many songs such as L'oiseau et l'enfant", Poupée de cire, poupée de son" and of course "Save Your Kisses for Me" which was thought, at the time, to be autobigraphical.

Re: Complicate the Person Above tkdguy has written a love song scored for Flugelhorn and Kazoo. Oddly, nobody seems to be interested in singing it.

Re: Complicate the Person Above death tribbles acting career was cut short when, after many days of hard work he still couldn't dodge artfully nor pick a pocket or two... such a shame.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Uriah Heep was the first person to graduate from death tribbles International School of Hand Wringing... well, him and his mate, Prince Kajuku.

Re: Complicate the Person Above It was soon after Marcus' chance meeting with Charles Dickens in a Soho Opium den that the character of Uriah Heep appeared. Coincidence? I think not.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Late breaking news - apparently death tribble has been turned down for that role in "A Christmas Carol". He appeared in a fright wig carrying a Ukelele only to discover it was the wrong Tiny Tim.

Re: Complicate the Person Above The death tribble has a master plan for rebuilding London. Apparently the plan involves lots of toast. As in megatonnes of toast.
