Re: Justice Squadron: TNG And looking over the timeline again I see Banshee and Siryn make a few appearances in it... Sigh, well maybe I could play the daughter of Siryn... Or perhaps I can come up with something else... Victor Reed VonDoom... What's his story, is he a villain?

Re: Justice Squadron: TNG I wasn't when I came up with the idea, but now that I am reading his wiki entry... I hate Marvel...

Re: Justice Squadron: TNG I was thinking of doing a daughter of the X-Men's Banshee (A sonics based character with singing based Mind Control, called Siren.) I don't recall seeing him on your timeline so does Banshee exist in your game? Roughly how old would he be (so I can figure out how old my character could be/has to be)? Do you have anything set up around Banshee that I should know about/would affect my background? I'm not that familiar with the Marvel universe so i'm in the process of reading up on the character via Wikipedia.

Re: Menton is up Ironclad is up now and they are now 0 for 4 in terms of making their concept art look like a) it fits the Champions Universe, it matches the writeup that accompanies the artwork and c) fits in the super hero genre (well ok Defender fits sort of although he looks more Paladin with spandex bits than power armor). None of the art they have shown i've liked. Dr. Destroyer looks good but not for Dr. Destroyer unless he's been revamped from a power armor character into a mage. Which is doubtful since Cryptic seems to be using the PnP writeup nearly word for word whether their art matches it or not. Even Stronghold didn't look right. What they showed of Stronghold doesn't look like the super advanced high tech prison that they say Stronghold is. It looks like a 19th century castle. Pity I was looking forward to the game, now not so much.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Ok that was a really good line...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... That reminds me of one from my L5R game a while back. The group of Samurais are traveling, looking to find a village suitable for us to stay for the night. We see ahead of us in the distance a Village with some smoke coming from it. The Crab Yojimbo goes ahead to check it out, she finds a devestated village with it's dead inhabinants scattered around the area, a rather gruesome scene. (remember in this world touching the dead is incredibly dishonourable and just the thought of sleeping near dead would repulse any of these characters). She comes back and says: "This village will not meet our needs."

What skill would one use to figure out if someone is lieing? I was wondering that at my last Champions session, and went through the skills and I couldn't find a skill that specifically says it can be used to detect lieing. I'm assuming that Conversation would work. Probably Deduction. Any others?
