Re: Need a few suggestions for new girl on the block Thumbing through my copy of 'GURPS Timeline': 1933: Hitler takes over Germany; Chicago World's Fair opened; US Prohibition repealed; first release of 'King Kong'; appariition of the Virgin Mary seen in Banneaux, Belgium. 1934: Mao Tse-Tung leads 100,000 Chinese on the famed 'Long March' (less than half survive); FBI shoots Dillinger (some question whether it "really" was him); interest in, and sightings of, the Loch Ness monster hit their peak. OK, mostly pulpy events. A couple that are arguably occultish. A number of possibilities, absolutely.

Re: What is the most outrageous B$ power that you have encounted. My best friend once put together a character called 'BONSAI'. His main schtick were various flavours of a high-powered Transformation Attack (with Autofire) that basically shrunk the target. Repeatedly. One power slot would shrink only people, another would shrink only their clothes, and so on. The Character's warcry was "Bonsai!". Yes, he was Japanese - take all this as a measure of my friend's sense of humour. For the first session, the GM threw a monster at the party - try to imagine a mutated Megalodon on steroids, that comes fairly close. First round of combat, Bonsai shrunk said monster down to about goldfish-size. The party then installed the monster in a decorative aquarium in their base. After that experience, the GM went back to running D&D.

Re: Martial Arts: Disco Fu (Help!) How about one maneuver for a heightened PRE and/or COM attack?

Re: Tall Ship Plans http://www.all-model.com Selection of downloadable ship plans. I highly recommend 'Roter Lowe' in the freebie section - had the images enlarged and printed to A0 size, then laminated, for my '7th Sea' campaigns. The result is BEAUTIFUL, and close enough to 25mm scale as to make no differance at all. ----------------------------------------- http://www.burningsea.com 'Pirates of the Burning Sea' is a very interesting looking MMORPG. Check 'Screenshots' and 'Ship Info' (in the 'Game Info' section) for exterior images of a wide range of sailing vessels, from yachts and sloops to galleons and xebecs to Napoleonic frigates. No proper deckplans as such, but worth a look. ----------------------------------------- Incidentally, does anybody knows of where one can find deckplans of a Bao Chuan (Chinese "Treasure Ship" of the early 1400s)?
