Re: Meta-game activities

1) Had to reread the question. Depends if it really would of been out of character or not. Sometimes as a player, you can't help some "witty" comment. Generally if it was entertaining, I let it stand. If the PC really would of had some inkling that it wouldn't be a good idea, then it could be retracted. Really depends on the situation.

2) With some of the extra powers that can be tossed about, the bird's eye view may be more accurate.

3) Heck, we sometimes talk way more than actually game. Sometimes while formulating a plan. Though if it's in the middle of combat, as long as they take their phase, I'm fine. Otherwise I try to move things along.

4) I call the player on it.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

Here is a 'bedtime' stry for Alice: "The Owl and the Pusycat"

runcible, adjective. A nonsense word used by Edward Lear in runcible cat, hat, etc., and esp. in runcible spoon, in later use applied to a kind of fork used for pickles, etc., curved like a spoon and having three broad prongs of which one has a sharp edge.

 

E. Lear 1871 Owl & Pussy-Cat in Nonsense Songs

They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon.

So that's what a spork came from?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

Wish me luck, I just sent an application pack for a position that would mean a lot of change, but it would be something positive.

Yeah' date=' and I'd be able to afford a house. I'd settle for that.[/quote']

Oh sure. Just go ahead and rub it in. Only because it's the cranky thread and I've been struggling with a job application.

Re: Looking for info, CNM/CU be gentle!

Lord Liaden pretty much covered it. I think Cateran is probably the least changed between CU:NM and the Fifth edition CU.

It's not a bizarro universe, but it's different.

The Fourth edition, CU:NM, and 5E all have similarities, but they all are wildly different as well. Sort of Parallel universes.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

I have to attend a mediation tomorrow which I am not looking forward to. My boss and I were both accused of not looking after a temp member of staff properly by said member of staff. Having read what he wrote I wanted to kill him. In one ear out the other.

Sorry to hear that DT. Been there and I feel your pain.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

I'd like to be able to go back and read all the Avengers comics I read when I was a wee lad. Unfortunately' date=' the only way to do that would be to buy them all at collector's prices. [/quote']

Essential Avengers might be a good value. Either that or buy it from someone who'll be dumping their 30 boxes of comics in the next few months.

Re: The Last Word

I still haven't figured out an answer to that line.

Re: How would you ... PC Fusion?

Well, I would actually have them buy duplication if this was going to be a usual trick, but if it's something which isn't a beneficial event, then just having a GM controlled character built for the occasion.

Re: The cranky thread

Hopefully' date=' they'll migrate sometime this week. Otherwise, I'll have to get rid of them. Thanks, guys. I'll let you know how it goes.[/quote']

Well, if you get someone with bee wrangling, they could probably take the bees.

So giving this minty pink med liquid to Griffy. He took it all in his mouth and then spat it back on me. Based on how I can't get the stain off my hand, I don't blame him.

Re: The Last Word

Tea has stronger caaffine in it.

Depends on the coffee & tea. It's like comparing Superman & Thor.

Re: Harbinger got neutered!

having him as an almost sane Judge death type might be a good way to handle him.

I like that option.

Re: Moonquakes

Perhaps from out of space could come a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction.

 

Wait, 1994 has already come and gone, hasn't it?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

That's funny. Zornwil's game ran a game yesterday where two of the PCs had been replaced and one of our player's had his birthday yesterday.

 

Zornwil should be posting the quotes.

I've been looking since July 13. Three responses that said I was overqualified, many rejections because I don't have work experience with one bit of tech, and a lot of black holes. bleh.

Re: Name My Supervillian!

Herr Doktor Froo-Froo LeBouche Der Pantyfuerer!

 

No Hero will ever dare stand against him, for fear of becoming known as the arch-enemy of Herr Doktor Froo-Froo LeBouche Der Pantyfuerer.

Even the acronym takes to long to say. Damn the villiany.

Fire ants.

The more serious answer would be for you to use Sidekick. Much less intimidating.

Re: Who is... COUNT INFINITY?

Since someone asked:

 

"I need a name for a techno-mystic villain for an upcoming Champs campaign. He’s intended to be a major recurring menace, filling Dr. Destroyer’s role in my world.

 

He’s probably going to be the ruler of a small Eastern European country, a la Dr. Doom. I’m kinda feeling a name with a modifier like ‘Doctor’ or ‘Count’ or the like."

 

... I suggested COUNT INFINITY.

 

So, now we know who he is!

Very good.!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Norway is the last Soviet state! All Italians are accompanied by a mandoline soundtrack! Britons can't cook! Americans are fat!

 

Okay, that should crank up the heat, at least some!

You should try that out over on the Troll thread. No one seems to be responding much.
