I'm pretty sure to get busted he had to charge for it, giving it away isn't a crime.

Agatha Christie, always figure the tough old brit bird can outdo the obese, chain-smoking yank. Let's keep with the mystery thing: Marshal McCloud vs Sheriff Longmire

I'm not a great fan of Wil Wheaton's thespian outings, but I have to admit on the basis of time-to-retch I can stand three to four Wesley Crushers longer than one Mrs. Fletcher.

Option 1: The Grand High Witch is tired of being unknown and wants someone to tell her tale, mostly as she assumes it will frighten a few more children. With her bubbling cauldron, screaming carrots (how any MANdrake could scream like a girl and still call itself a MANdrake is beyond me), and tome of useful rituals she reaches across time and worlds to pluck a worthy scald for her epic. The smoke swirls from the mystic brew and condenses into a small, scaly figure. "What the bric-a-brac are you?" screeches the witch. "I be Deekin Scalesinger, writer of epic writings and singer of songs to die for, maybe. If you on adventure, I follow and write new book. Boss too busy with kids, they all grey." There's nothing like a good narrator to make a story great, and this is nothing like that.

I'm gonna need some kid cowboys (the fiend needs a target), so I'll just throw in the last two at once: Slim Honeycutt (Cowboy) Charlie Schwartz (Cowboy) Ironically, actor-wise Slim Honeycutt is Kwai Chang Caine's younger brother but only managed to play a mute companion for their father on Kung Fu. Also actor-wise, Charlie Schwartz holds the world record for jumping a bus over flaming motorcycles (he managed fifteen). Oh, and finding kid cowboys isn't difficult if you happen to be old enough. There were a lot of westerns made in the seventies.

The Invisible Woman hops to DC and picks up The Invisible Kid and The Invisible Kid. The three of them together overload the invisibility capacity of the virtual reality system so that humanity can band together and overthrow the oppression of the machines. New Letter: E

That's two topics in a row with terms inviting cognitive dissonance. First we get the vague origins of the vegans, then we get sex trafficking. It always sounded like a bad idea to me. Heck, they've got laws against texting and driving so you think the whole sex thing would have been covered.

Q: Donald Trump signed my cast, what do you think it's worth? A: No, but I've got an option on a beach-side condo in Belarus.

Another cowboy, I think, before I start making odd draft choices. Thomas Van Leek "His back was to me."

I'm running a bit behind, can I claim a second cowboy if it's just Jacob McCandles?

Time to cowboy up: Jesse W. Haywood The Shakiest Gun in the West

Fiend: The Grand High Witch "One child a week is fifty-two a year. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear."

Rather than vary the amount of movement the character makes, vary the speed at which the bridge collapses. If you want some sort of mechanics, a continuous PD drain on the bridge would allow you to roll the amount of 'damage' which would vary the length of bridge that collapses.

Oops. Missed a day. Location: Kansas City, Missouri

Really, I'm just trying to get away with the visual of having daleks chase John Wayne and Gabby Hayes through Piccadilly Circus. Speaking of which, when you say monster would that be single creature or just a species?

It's The Weird West, but the first pick is location. I don't believe in stretching, too much, but perhaps restrictions on the size and specificity of the location are needed. I mean, it could truly be called 'The Weird West' if the cowboys and monsters were in the West End.

Coco I enjoyed it more than I intended to.

Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection, no vaccine is available. It's usually a sore throat, pinkish red rash, and high fever (I managed to watch Bugs Bunny cartoons without a television, haven't seen the like since).

Apples of Gold in Silver Crust If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -Carl Sagan Proverbs 25:11

I'm older, so shoot me (please, I long for the relief that death will bring).

I'm not suggesting Acrobatics be used as the 'skill' for a 'feint'. I'm suggesting the specific skill could be any number of things and the 'feint' be a 0 phase maneuver described by the player using the skill, success with the skill roll indicating the possible addition to OCV. For acting: "My character appears to be terrified, but throws off the look as soon as Sir Chutzpah gets close enough, then throws a right hook! I made my acting roll by three, do I get a bonus?" Once again, this appears to be an attempt at surprise and the GM determines surprise bonuses. Which means it's on the GM to say 'the zombies aren't thinking hard enough to be fooled by the feint' or 'the Kung Fu Kid reacts to your fake telegraphing of the kick and is wide open to a punch, +4 to your OCV' or even 'Sir Chutzpah is enraged and pays no attention to the fear on your face, you receive no bonus despite rolling a five and beating your skill by eight points'.

Weakest

Ok. Since a feint is all about 'surprising' your opponent, how about re-purposing a skill that uses a 0 phase action to add points to OCV based on a skill roll when used to do exactly that? "My character spins as if attempting to kick the buccaneer as a feint; then acrobatically halts his spin, plants his feet and thrusts with his rapier. My acrobatics roll is made by three, do I get a bonus?" It's always up to the GM to determine bonuses for surprise.

John Fowles, because I do better cinematography between my ears than I've ever seen on screen. For a similar battle: The Wall (vinyl) vs The Wall (celluloid)

It's also SOP for situational commands to abrogate rank hierarchy. The captain of a ship at sea outranks the commodore riding along. Besides, the chain of command has nothing to do with rank precedence. It's just an indication of enfolding areas of responsibility. Finally, if the unit is in the field they would probably avoid indicating what rank they held, so as long as you have the hierarchy established you won't need to state who is what.
