Re: Building John Carter of Mars How many Martians could YOU take in a fight? I think Burroughs may have done this on purpose, since it allowed his readers to think, "on Mars, I could be a superman too!"

Re: Mythic Creatures as Eco-Terrorists? Dark Captain Planet.

Re: Krim? And I'm picturing some kind of scenario in which shrivilled, implike Krim manipulates the PCs in some attempt to get his crowns back.

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson I hate to be anal about languages, but in Scarlet his Latin is good enough to read academic literature, and he has at least passing knowledge of French and German. (His German is used in solving the case in fact.)

Re: Giant Brick Tricks I think both Gulliver and Gargantua used this power to great effect: Fire Trucks Are for Wimps: 20d6 Dispel, Dispel any Fire Power One at a Time (+1/4) (75 Active Points), Must Have Drunk Liquids Recently (-1/4) (60 Real Cost) EDIT: Whoops, beaten to it. And I thought I was all clever and stuff.

Re: Hey, what's in those ruins? I don't know how your game's theology works, but if cities have patron gods, maybe those of this city are still around somewhere beneath the ruins, but weakened and driven mad from lack of worshippers, time and loneliness. Maybe they've been built up some kind of erzats cult based on whatever goblinoids/rat people/four-eyed mutants live in the area, resulting in a mad perversion of the noble rites the inhabitants of the city once carried out in its prime. (I like Lovecraft. Can you tell?)

Re: Hey, what's in those ruins? How come nobody's been back since the place was sacked? Scared of something?

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson Trippy, man.

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson NO ONE in a game would figure out the stuff Holmes does. Partly because very very very few GMs would think of all the details Doyle does. GM: You see a man coming up the road. Player: What is his gate like? And his age and complexion? Any tatoos I can see? GM: (why the hell is he asking that? I'd better make some stuff up): Umm, he has a purposeful stride. He's middle-aged and with a tan. And, uh, there's a tatoo of, um, an anchor on his left hand. Player: EUREKA! This man was a major in the Queen's Fifth Regiment in Afghanistan!

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson He's a polyglot too. Knows a lot of languages. (Come to think of it, every educated Victorian Englishman should have LNG: Greek and LNG: Latin, at the very least.) Also, the feats of deduction he is capable of definitely require some sort of superskills in my opinion -- no player with Holmes as a character would ever figure this stuff out on their own.

Re: Variable Advatage vs Multipower Hmmm... are you sure you have to pay END on the +1 VA modifier, or just on the +1/2 Advantages?

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson Sweet! Holmes at what point in his career? PS. Pleeeeeeease post as text too -- I don't have HD and I really want to see it!

Re: Quick MA Question Ah, love! Thanks!

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson Master swordman and pugilist in Scarlet, my friend, master swordman and pugilist. Maybe he let himself go slack later. I thought skills in VPPs were verboten?

Re: Elementary, My Dear Watson However, in Scarlet, his first appearance, he has never heard of the Copernican Theory of the Solar System. He's only interested in knowledge that help's him fight Britain's master criminals and throws everything else out of his "brain attic." He's also a master swordsman and pugilist.

Re: Quick MA Question Nobody loves me.

I've been rereading A Study in Scarlet and keep trying to write up Holmes and Watson in my mind. Has anybody ever tried writing up these two fine Victorian fellows? Holmes must be built on at least 300 points. He is Mister Detective Super-Skill. (I almost put this in Other Genres, but then decided Conan Doyle is pulpish even if his work precedes the Pulp Era by a few decades.)

Re: FTL vs. Lots of Megascale Movement I always thought Armor with IPE just meant if you shot the guy he looked like he took damage.

Sorry if asking this is an abuse of the forum, but I'm at work and don't have access to my books -- How much would an MA maneuver cost that is identical to Passing Grab, but only lets you grab one limb instead of 2? One point less? Thanks.
