Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign The pic for those 1990s Purifiers was one of the very first I made, and it just plain sucked.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign To clarify: I hit him with a car twice. Heh.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign I like the new pic. Cool flail thingy.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I agree that it's doctored. Just looks like it. I'm certainly no expert, and i think I could do a similar job.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign I like this one better.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign You'll be welcome, especially since your plan to "retire" indicates that you have the means to provide munchies regularly. I also plan to "retire" someday, but mine will probably include yelling at people for change in front of a 7-11.

Re: "Neat" Pictures "It's a sun thingy" is as close as I could guess.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign Okey Doke... Our old gamer buddy who moved to L.A. came back for a couple of weeks, so he needed a character for this campaign while he's here. He'll be playing this dude: Carter Baines was a star football player in high school and college, a running back who broke one record after another. By the end of his university athletic career, his physical talents and ability to presciently avoid tackles had improved to the point of superhuman ease. It was apparent to all, himself included, that he was a metahuman...a genetic mutant in possession of enhanced physical and/or psionic abilities. Ineligible for professional sports because of his paranormal abilities, he fell into depression and despair. In his desperation, Baines was soon recruited by a private firm as a subject in an experimental procedure to enhance the psionic potential of metahumans. His latent talents were fully realized in a joint psychic session with a talented telepath, but the violent release of his new pyrokinetic abilities injured and disfugured several other participants. Feeling terrible guilt and fearing persecution, Baines fled and has since lived a nomadic life, changing his name at each new residence and adopting the moniker of 'Hellion' for when he has need of his psionic abilities. Hellion has several minor telepathic abilities, but his major offensive power is the ability to generate and control pyrokinetic flame. As of this writing, his power is limited to creating a humanoid-shaped bundle of fire and willing it about the battlefield. That construct is the subconscious expression of his suppressed rage, and he calls it his "Demon." When he wishes (or in some cases against his wishes), the Demon can release roiling bolts of telekinetically propelled heat and flame. Oh yeah...and he has a Harley. 'Cause they're cool. < 1) The Demon is the rationale for a fully indirect EB. It zips intangibly to where it needs to be to fire at an opponent. 2) He has 'Enraged when stressed, angered, or injured.' When it activates, his EB Demon attacks his enemies against his will.>> Hellion

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign ...And another one. Had some free time tonight finally!

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign No new pics that I've made for the game as yet (I ain't the GM), but my GM (boards member 'Mancer') has gotten into the habit of also making composites for his NPCs. I'll see if he'll post them here for the sake of completing the universe. His style is very different from mine and pretty cool. But for now, I'll continue the vanity of humbly posting my original artwork here. Maybe Steve Long will wanna publish something I've done in a book at some point. Ya gotta dream!

Re: "Neat" Pictures That is outrageously awesome pumpkin carving. And no boobs! (Sorry...couldn't help myself.)

Re: "Neat" Pictures

Re: "Neat" Pictures True, but let's call a spade a spade here. The breasts, whether reverse-engineer rationalized to be anything else, are meant to be big sexy boobies to appeal to the adolescent mindset of many a geek. Yes, some of us geeks actually are adolescent. Some are just developmentally arrested. But let's be real. Geeks like to make everything female in fiction have a hot, underdressed girly body, because geeks tend to not have access to hot girly bodies in real life.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I'm guessing that the breasts on the model are more the result of a desire to over-sexualize anything female than of any scientific musing.

Re: "Neat" Pictures By the way... I'd just like to point out that you guys are debating whether or not the female version of a fictional race of reptilian, psuedo-samurai hunter aliens should have boobs. C'mon. This is on par with debating the English interpretation of Klingon phrases. ...and for the record, the boobs are dumb.

Re: Hawt!

Re: "Neat" Pictures Then I am eagerly waiting for Joss Whedon to begin his career in porn. Did I just say that out loud?

Re: "Neat" Pictures I saw this in a training at work. (I work academically with handicapped and socially challenged kids.) It has this cool front like a costume/party shop that also sells novelties like "super-power pill" candies and such, but the store is actually a non-profit-owned enterprise that funds a charitable program. In the back, behind a "secret" entrance, there's a writing workshop for underprivileged kids. Very fun project.

Re: Project XIII: images from my campaign Aha! Good point, there. However, 'bros before 'hos' (excuse my crudeness) has to be given some weight as well. When you're trying to get in good graces with a new girl, your buddies have to understand your priorities. But once she's a girlfriend...well...a good girlfriend will give you space to hang with your pals.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I'm gonna make a mint with a twelve-step program to combat addiction to this stuff.

Re: "Neat" Pictures This is frickin' hypnotic. Love it.

<> If an ability is linked to a movement power, is the "proportional" use of the movement power determined by... a) The number of game inches travelled or... The character's velocity Example: Comet Man has the following powers... 1) 6d6 EB 2) +4 DCV 3) 20" Flight Slots 1 and 2 are linked to slot 3. They must be used proportionally to the Flight power. CM "generates" the flame for his EB by flying, and his agile flying makes him harder to hit the faster he goes. If CM makes a half move of 10", during which he accelerates to 20" velocity, Does he then have the use of his full EB and DCV potential, or can he only utilize half of each? If the former is true, am I correct to assume that he would never be able to use his full attack power?
