Re: Bran Mak Morn I see that Conan had to be built as a superhero...

Re: Bran Mak Morn Where can I see that sheet?

Re: The cranky thread I don't know if anyone's said this before (they probably have), but I'm saying it anyways because it fits my current mood: It sucks to be sick...

Here's a thought I've been mulling over: In the 1930s, the "Pulp Era," there was the origins of Sword & Sorcery fantasy, with heroes like Conan, Kull, and Bran Mak Morn (among others) Also during that time, and in the decade before, you've had lots of adventure stories and crime stories as well. So it occurs to me that by combining Howard's contemporary era with the fantasy of his tales, there seems to be a couple of possibilities... 1: Globe-Trotting "heroes" traversing the world and dealing with Derk Sorcery. An example might be a group of Archeologists fending off ancient demopnic evils and trying to prevent the horrors of the past from entering the modern world, sometimes having to get blood-soaked in the process. 2: Thompsons and Sorcery. What if the Alcohol trade during the Prohibition era was an attempt to fund research into the forbidden? Imagine Elliot Ness and the Untouchables having to deal with Demons as well as Capone... Just a thought of mine. Have you any thoughts on the concept of Pulp Contemporary Fantasy?

Re: Bran Mak Morn I'm still reading the first Conan stories (in the order Howard wrote them, as Howard wrote them), but I must say that I am impressed with this adaptation.

Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous)

Here's a thread to ask questions about silly abilities to build with the HERO System rules. Here's how the game goes: One person presents a silly ability, and a point budget (Base + Disads). A reply from someone else must then create the build and then present it, followed by an offbeat ability of their own that they want to see built under the HERO System Rules. To start off the thread: Detachable limbs and head (cartoonish portrayal of such an ability) (150 point character (75+75)).

Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Well Tentacle creatures will generally have a mix of Extra Limbs, extra STR with said limbs, and an Entangle that does damage as the victim struggles to simulate what those tentacles typically do.

Re: You know the GM has it in for you when... It's a common joke apparently for Takofanes to be in "relationships" or at one point, touched innappropriately. You really want to avoid his dominatrix. And now back to the actual thread.

...In your first adventure, you have to go toe to toe with Doctor Destroyer... and you're playing the PS238 RPG. ...Every enemy you face has Drain on resistant defenses (20d6 at least) and killing attacks (20d6 at least). ...The campaign's big-bad can not only kill you in one strike, but ressurect you and then kill you again, all in one action, just to rub it in that he's superior.

Re: What was Marvel's WORST decade? From the sounds of what I've been hearing, This one, though the previous ones have been leading up.

This a a campaign possibility that I probably will not run. It is presented more or less as a gag. "The Awful Avengers!" This is not to be confused with any teams from Marvel Comics. Inspired by Fenrisulf's "WORST Decade in Marvel Comics" thread, this idea came up. (Enter film trailer voice, starting up the music) In a world that represents the very worst of Comicdom, where hope is beleived to be non-existant, where the plots are written by emo-twits, and where politics rule over quality writing, there is a need for heroes... Who will those heroes be? Gun Toting Vigilantes? Mutants hunted by every redneck in the world? Former heroes who make a deal with the Devil for just "One More Day"? Veterans of the Civil War? Maybe Clones with their own Sagas to forge... Whomever they are, they shall be known as... The Awful Avengers... Rated MS for Marvel S***. (Back to normal) What would you want to see lampooned in a campaign like this?

Re: Who bought a copy of Omlevex by Spectrum Games? My brother bought it. I read it. I think it'd be great if more care went into the write-ups. It kinda makes me wish I could actually read the Omlevex comics (Shame they made up that company.) But then, I look up to Cynthia Celeste Miller right along with the folks at HERO games.
