    Letterman's not a comedian, he's a salesman.

     

    He's sold the idea that he's funny and a talk show host. He's about as funny as a root canal, and he is the absolute worst talk show host ever.

     

    What he is is an attention whore.

    I like him. I think he was better in the 80s, but always better than Leno. Attention whore? probably, but then I think that would be a qualifier for many on TV.

    Ice Pirate - One of her hobbies is to paint forgeries with slight twists. She also sculpts. For sports she likes skiing.

     

    Calico - Not much for doing stuff off time. Competetive sports where she can try to burn off some of her anger issues.

     

    Scales - He does a lot of reading especially researching history.

     

    Spectrum - Leisure time!? We get that? She tries to spend time with her boyfriend, but it's infrequent.

    Okay, I think I have to ask this question, because I honestly think it doesn't get asked enough.

     

    How in the world is this a superhero?

    Depends on campaign tone and how it's presented. Somehow I don't see this hero getting the key to the city anytime soon or in a public type of role, but the character could be heroic without the traditional trappings of a hero.

     

    Now if he took over someone's living body each day and discarded an empty husk at the end, you might have a better point.

    Possibly a VPP with the GM allowed skills, KS, etc...

     

    30 point VPP (15 control)

     

    Limitations: No Consious Control or maybe phrased GM approved setup (-2)

    Locks out usual skills (?)

    Adv: No skill roll (or maybe you want one to get the right personality?)

     

    How's that for starters?

    And a non-dill version:

    How do they make ranch dressing? All I can figure out is it has dill in it and white dairy stuff...

    From Recipe Czar

    • 15 saltines
    • 2 cups dry parsley flakes, minced
    • 1/2 cup instant minced onion
    • 2 tablespoons dry dill weed
    • 1/4 cup onion salt
    • 1/4 cup garlic salt
    • 1/4 cup onion powder
    • 1/4 cup garlic powder

    1. Place crackers through blender on high speed until powdered.
    2. Add parsley, minced onion and dill weed.
    3. Blend again until powdered.
    4. Dump into a bowl.
    5. Stir in onion powder and salt, and garlic powder and salt. Put into container with tight fitting lid.
    6. Store dry mix at room temperature for up to 1 year.
    7. To mix: combine 1 Tbsp. dry mix, 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 cup of buttermilk.

    I'm sure WM will have a tastier version up later.
