Re: What is Munchkin? Well, A munchkin is a player who perceives RPGs as competitive events, and as such seeks to amass power, raise the body-count, and screw-over the other players and the GM. Read "The Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming" from Steve Jackson Games.

Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources

Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources I never heard of Justifiers, but Disney characters (the animal-like ones) certain count as furry, as do most of the Looney Tunes. Admittedly, I've always wanted to run a campaign set in the Star Fox universe from Nintendo (ignoring the grave assault on the franchise that was Star Fox Assault)

Re: Anthropomorphic/Furry HERO Resources Amen to that. Halogen Engine was only recently replaced by FATAL as a game I wouldn't even offer to my worst enemy.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This was from long ago in a D&D X-Crawl game. I just entered the game with a human rogue, and one of the other players was playing a halfling who was a bit of a gloryhound. After a rough fight, the announcer said something about how there was no love from the forces of luck. The halfling then said "But my sword gives me love." Then I said something that got the whole group to stop and laugh, including the GM, who was a lady. The line was, "Yeah, yeah, stroke that thing..." And I was refering to either the sword or the ego. I think it was the ego.

Re: [RISKY] How would your character be described by this guy? Oh, everybody has their stupid moments. Besides, think of this as a creative challenge; rant about and criticize your character. It's just so easy with the Superfriends because they have so much that's so flagrantly easy to criticize in such a harsh manner. We, however, have to work because our own PCs are naturally better (at least in our minds) than those idiot superfriends. So it's not an impossible task, just a tricky one. And I fully expect you to take your time with your characters. Seanbaby might not be interested, but we're talking not about seanbaby (he inspired the thread, no more), but rather about somebody like seanbaby; a person who will find the stark stupidity in literally any character. And then he mocks the character for the stupidity. If you don't want to take part, don't take part. This is just a fun exercise in seeing the flaws in how a character interacts in your campaign or even in a theoretical campaign. This can especially be fun for more humorously oriented characters or characters that seem to end up in silly situations.

Re: How would you use Gravitar? Scary...

Re: Rocket-propelled Chainsaw Cool. But it just isn't the same as the bears with the rocket launchers that shoot flaming flying sharks that explode. But maybe if you get the chainsaws to shoot lasers and explode, unleashing a bunch of mini-chainsaws that also shoot lasers and explode, you might have something...

http://www.seanbaby.com/super.htm [WARNING: Not Suitable for the very young or the very mature due to various uses of "adult" humor and profanity. This is Seanbaby, for those that it matters to. This is also about the Superfriends.] I am posting this site because of this question: "What would your character be like according to Seanbaby?" Below are a few rules: 1) Although Seanbaby is rather obscene, the hero System Message boards do not appreciate such vulgarity. I will have to ask you all to be less profane. Sure, go into how stupid a character might be, but don't swear like he does. 2) Due to the technoligy of the message boards, "illustrative comics" are most likely not possible (your character most likely has no screenshots). You can either use "scripts" for example dialogues, or you can ignore that part of a character rant. Anyone who does manage to create comics that look as though they came from a TV show should be repped. 3) You must conclude your character rant with a Super-rating from 0 (the Wonder twins) to 8 (Bizzarro and Superman). In addition, you must give a summary paragraph bringing the whole rant to a close.

Re: An Old Quiz, But A Nice One. You scored as Storyteller. You're more inclined toward the role playing side of the equation and less interested in numbers or experience points. You're quick to compromise if you can help move the story forward, and get bored when the game slows down for a long planning session. You want to play out a story that moves like it's orchestrated by a skilled novelist or film director.

Re: For those of us not artistically inclined I prefer Hero Machine 2.0, but I do have to admit that even that has a lot of limits.

Re: [Possible game] Jonestown Blues I went with Jonestown as a "subtle" reference to Chuck Jones, one of the more famous animators with a normal-enough name to make something like that subtle. It's hard to have a similar effect with names like Freling, Disney, or Avery. So if you can find such a name that doesn't have that problem but still has a subtle reference to a major figure in animation (but not a cartoon character), feel free to offer up suggestions.

Here is the situation: A master villain (along the lines of Doctor Destroyer: Your campaign's equivalent to him) was performing an experiment with his usual power source (technology, magic, genetics, what-have-you) and somehow, as a result of his experiement (this may or may not be accidental), a dimensional rift opened to a non-superheroic world that seems identical to a given television show (you choose). And now, because of the things that happen on the show mixing in with your world, things are starting to get really weird, and if the show itself is freakin'-nuts, there is the potential of a great change, possibly an apocalypse. With your character, you must determine the following: 1: What show did your world cross over with? (Rule: it can't be a show that prominently features a superheroic person, so no Charmed, no Smallville, no Teen Titans, etc. A sitcom, soap-opera, action show, or even some wild cartoon show like Animaniacs would be acceptable for this crossover plot. But the show is up to you.) 2: What sorts of things do you anticipate happening? 3: What Would Your Character Do?
