Re: Applying Dis/Advantages To Free Senses
I've always wanted to see a version of Hero where the things a normal human can do were point costed out. Then, instead of taking a Disad/Complication of negative points, you just didn't BUY that one 'power' that a normal human would have. So, Sight would be a Detect and a blind person wouldn't buy that 'power'.
2 cents,

Re: Teleport redirection
Alternately, Transform (Person with Teleport to location A) to (Person with Teleport to location
, but that sounds like it would get cost ineffective. The Mind Control/Illusion power would likely be cheaper, unless the teleporter has Mental Defense.Korren

Re: How to encourage RP?
Here's my 2 cents:
1) Someone's already mentioned this, but what if what they're doing is exactly what they're looking for? My current Hero game is pretty much like this. The GM gives us a couple of possibilities and we choose one and go. Not too much on role-play.... If the players are happy, don't try to force them into something else they might not like.
2) Another situation encouraging RP is the old switch-body scenario..... put player 1's personality into player 2's body, etc.... then they have to talk to each other to find out how their powers work.....
3) take their powers AWAY... then they have to use their skills.....
4) Make some secret from their Disads (soon to be Complications(6e)) come up. Then they have to explain that "dark part of their life" to the other characters..... or an old flame or relative..... again, as someone suggested, write up some background and hand it to JUST the character that has the info.... if, instead of role-playing the discussion, they just hand the sheet off to the other PC's, then you know that they're NOT looking for RP opportunities....
Make that 4 cents.....

Re: Naming the baby
I'm just thinking, far in the future, when 10th Edition comes out, we can start a movement: "I'm bringing 6e back...."

Good Idea: The Ultimate SpeedsterBad Idea: The Ultimate Speedo
Hey! I like speedos!
A Del Monte Airfield campaign might be interesting if short lived (18-19 months game time). Could be run like DS-9 or Babylon 5.Do the landing planes have to dodge all the fruit plants??

Actually, a traveling troupe of motorcycle stunt drivers that encounter mysterious, haunted locations & must fight the monsters/men-in-rubber-masks....

Hey! I liked American Gothic! I was sad it got canceled!
And hey' date=' I liked Changeling. The hardcover edition's magic system was a lot better than the stupid cards from the softcover. I liked Mage too.[/quote']I liked Mage a lot, too. My 3 favorite systems: Hero (Very specific powers), Mage (very generalized powers), Amber Diceless (VERY generalized powers)... odd, huh?
I have to say I liked Changeling 1st edition.... my name is on the playtesters list!

All kinds of ideas spring up from Retirement Home Hero.Horror (As all things flow from and to Horror): Tragically, our elderly tend to be marginalized, it would make for a great group in a Horror campaign (Of course you saw a ghost Grandpa...)

Re: So what concepts are you tempted to play on the MMORPG anyway?
I'm up for the Mystic Blaster. I prefer the aim & shoot from a distance characters and the 'magickal' origin has always intrigued me. Perhaps a bit of healing, thrown in.
I made an amazing CoH guy who could mesmerize groups, pick out a single guy to KO, heal himself or others, put the group back to sleep, confuse and KO one guy, repeat as needed.... liked him a lot.... slow but solo-able.... Mind Master!!

We should make a sticky post (or something) that lists the components for 18 slot bags, in all 3 disciplines. That would be a big help!
I got lucky, on my main, and a new friend gave me 3 18 slot bags! I'm such a pack-rat!
