::enigmatic grin:: This means I'm doing it right... As should be obvious to those reading this thread, I do a lot of GMing. I'd like to play more, but the thing is, there is only one other GM in our group (White Heat) and she only runs one game (Vampire). Yes, we have at least three seperate campaigns, but if any of us want to do something besides Vampire, You-Know-Who gets to be the GM. I've done Champions, D&D, Vampire and Star Wars (back in the WEG days) for this crew. We flirted briefly with Shadowrun 3rd Ed, but the campaign never got off the ground (much to White Heat's bitter chagrin). But I digress. In some ways, I find running very enjoyable, as it gives me an outlet for telling (what I hope are) interesting stories. Other times, I'd rather like to relax and just play - but I am so used to the way my wife runs games, what I realy want is for someone else to run for a while. I'd also like to play something other than Vampire.

As per usual, I'm with D-Man here. He sums-up my own thoughts so perfectly, to say anything else is redundant.

Q: How come your nostrils are stuck together? Yet another Wierd Al reference A: I'll need a book of matches, some razor blades, and a beaker of sand.

Q: What was Jor-El's least favorite sitcom? A: Psychic, side kick... same difference.

Who says this character has to start out with total and complete mastery of his powers? Start with the freaking multipower, add more slots as time, practice and EXP justify, and then work your way up to converting the whole thing into a VPP when you have truly mastered your powers. As someone who can do almost anything, it may take some time to get there. Come on folks... even the likes of Magneto and Superman are still finding new and interesting ways to use their powers, and it took them years of practice to get to where they were before they appeared in their first comic.

Q: What new TV show was cancelled because no one knew who the star of the show was? A: Mand Lines

If I remember the story correctly, it was an article writen in Dragon magazine by a player in a campaign run by a DM named Tucker. He was taking his party through your standard dungeon crawl. But as a twist to the standard random encounters, the entire first level of this dungeon had been taken over by kobolds. Only these kobolds didn't fight fair. They used pits, arrow slits in the walls, murder holes, flaming oil, traps... every trick in the book, and hardly (if ever) giving the party a clean shot at any of them. The hapless party basically had to race through the level to find the stairs down just to get away from the litte savages. One successful dungeon crawl later, the party is on their way out and going back up to the top... when they remember the kobolds. They are badly wounded and nearly out of spells and supplies, but they have no other way out than to run the gantlet again. Forever after "Tucker's Kobolds" struck fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned adventurers. I think the folks at Blizzard who designed the little pecker-heads in Act III and Act V from Diablo II borrowed a few pages from Tucker's book. It taught me early on the power of a well played and intelligent adversaries.

::cackles evily:: Oh yeah... maybe she should tell you how their party of six, with characters between 10th and 15th level, all got their asses handed to them by a bunch of kobolds

Q: Why does the U.S. have so many diet plans and fast food restaurants in the same area? A: A rather confused looking penguin in a field of flowers.

Q: What is the most un-coveted award among metahumans in the Champions Universe? A: An uzi, a plasma generator, and silly putty.

Q: What blurb for "Howard the Duck 2" insured that it never saw the light of day? A: Ignore the badger and get me the trampoline!

Q: What marketing ploy did Dr. Destroyer use to weed out the stupidest people on Earth? A: An elephant, with a tutu, in the living room.
