So no disrespect to the 5e artist, It is far better than i can do, but Galaxia looks like a bad tattoo of Wonder Woman with blown out lines.

(but SAT, the Super American tactics? That effectively dead org I rebuilt as, in effect, GI Joe. THAT'S the international terrorist-fighting arm of the US military. Gives each organization a reason to exist.)

I like that idea, which would give you a reason to us WSS

Don't forget that SAT became World Security Services. And Until got a face lift in almanac vol 2

 We took the watch apart, now the hard part, put it back together and make it work better!

(De-constructing Primus...we know what the source material says, but what do you say?) 

What is the goal & purpose of Primus? Peace-keeping? Policing the Metas? An Agency that is used between Police & National Guard? Is it a necessary Agency. Does it exist only because of Metas?

I don't make apologies for it, either.

 

I don't make apologies for hating modern society's apparent _need_ to tear down their heroes.

 

I will offer an explanation for my hate, though:

 

I believe in the value of good people.  I believe there are people who will stand in the face of insult, attack, and denigration because none of these things change the value of doing the right thing.

 

 

I agree, I try and run my Champs in a Silver Age feel. I guess we needed the Iron Age to see why we liked and go back to the Silver Age. 

I read comics to have fun, to read about heroics and a better way, escapism. The Regular World is already dark and gritty. I don't want my comics that way.  That being said did the Iron Age have good stories? Yes they did, it just wasn't my bag. To many pouches, shoulder pads, and spikey bits.

For a good resource on this stuff I like the movie “The Bourne Legacy” best.  That’s the one that starred Jeremy (Hawkeye) Renner.  It covers the whole how the two different retro viruses would work together thing very well, and seeing the drugs turn him into a modern version of Captain America gives me a special giggle.

   Plus it’s a decent movie on it’s own.

So look at Treadstone, it got outted to the public. The D.O.D. just shrugged and swept it under the rug then introduced BlackBriar. They do this all the time, in Fiction, Comics, & Movies. Like you said they even did this in Captain America. What Hitler has a super soldier we want one, make us one no matter the cost. Luckily Erskine had a moral compass. And once he had control of the project chose a better participant.

Ok, So the Government begins spin control, purges Primus, Kaufman is expelled, Genocide is a casualty of this, no more Government funds. 

They Find a new "Face" for Primus. However, how transparent can an Organization be? Sure they got caught red handed.  Re-label & relaunch. The Gov't  has put to many resources & funds into it to scrap it. The would move forward & try not to get caught again. Which would mean a lot of the seedier projects would still be there but just buried. With a thicker layer of scape goats & more solid plausible deniability. If Dr D ever found out about that his research was used for the Cyberline Process. Gods help those responsible, unless he knows and it's all part of the long game...

Ok, so running with the current riff, President Johnson Green lit the Prime Avenger Initiative. Handing over notes that were collected during & after WWII perhaps containing some works by Herr Doktor Zierstointen. So after many years of deciphering the recovered notes & experiments Dr Merill  presented Cyberline, not telling anyone that it was heavily based on Dr. D's work.

I always enjoyed Vipers Nest. As a player & a GM.

Maybe it was the older title, Here there be Tigers. By Dockery & Schroeder in '86. For the Hero System. 

Wifey & I watched Bird Box last nite. Really liked it.

Watched Outlaw/ King on Netflix with Chris Pine. Pretty good.

Reduced End sure. 0 End? Prolly not. Do you have 0 End on your Movement?

In my games. I do not allow 0 end in the beginning. I tend to have my players work into 0 End. 

Just started to rewatch The Prisoner

Adam ruins Everything on Netflix.

Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife. Doomed is your soul and damned is your life.

Hey, hey, hey, hey-now. Don't be mean; we don't have to be mean, cuz, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Gimme ah um a liter of Cola

One of the PCs is a mage with a spell that gives up to 8 people 5d6 Luck for several minutes, so it mainly gets cast at the start of practically every combat for him and his teammates.  To give it a tangible effect, we decided to have them roll the Luck dice and count BODY - and that total they could spend to add to to-hit and/or skill rolls.  And any "6" rolled also gave them a re-roll for any to-hit or skill roll. 

Ok, so Bolo. Do you count the body because of it being 5d6 so they wont have a huge pool or because the spell gets used so often? I'm leaning towards pips.

Ruff Ruff, Tweet and Dave... lol watching it with my little guy.  Great Characters, compelling stories and always keeps ya guessing on what the damn Hamster is gonna pull out from under his hat. lol. The 'grown-ups', we just finished season 2 of Iron Fist. Muuuuch better than Season 1. They found a balance in story between Danny as the Immortal Iron Fist and Danny the person.

I think the spirit of the power is a narrative/ seat of pants vibe. However i think most players & Gm's alike want a more difinitive description/ usage of the power.  Its possible with the RAW is why we dont see more people use the power, just seems to be a waste of points and no face value pay out IMHO.

The Wife and i just watched Tag. A 'nonstop' 30 yr game of tag between 5 friends. We giggled like little kids at this movie. Jeremy Renner is more Hawkeye in this movie than he has been in the Avengers movies. I highly recommend it. Very funny, well paced 'action' comedy.

I really like this idea. I think I'm going to try this version. I thiught about the luck bennie, but I like the Luck Pool. I may try a flipside where a character with unluck has a pool for me to use in combat and what-not using the same guidlines. 

Thank you everybody for helping me with this. And some of my other ideas. When i have questions, ideas, or a wall you all always come through, thank you.
