  1. The only build I see get really abused is Focus man.

     

    Focus man wants a discount on all his powers, but then complains of the unfairness when the focus is interfered with.

     

    i one time had a player suggest that a symbiotic organism living in her abdomen is a focus. When I suggested no, there is no practical way to remove it then it is a special effect the player going pretty hot. 

     

    Other things come and go, but Focus man or Focus woman is always there

  2. Back to the core topic,  the trailer makes this movie look so awesome,  I expect it to be on par with Civil War.  Everything in it looks action packed. 

     

    One thing I am worried about is Marvel has been taking a deliberately optimistic approach to their movies up until Winter Soldier,  then Civil War. I keep hearing from others that this one has a different tone and I hope this movie will not continue that pessimistic view. While I love the MCU as a whole, I would hate to see it go the way of DC and get filled with super serious characters. 

     

    I know everyone hates the Marvel Villains for being shallow or two dimensional.  But that allows the director the time to develop the heroes and let's us see them in all their awesome. 

     

    PS: Not knocking DC, I think Wonder Woman did a lot to bring the DC tone back to something I could enjoy. But to me MCU is simply superior. 

     

     

     

    PPS: I think Civil War,  Home Coming, Ironman, Avengers 1, and Guardians 1 where the most enjoyable.  While Thor 1 & 2, Ironman 2, Ironman 3, and The Incredible Hulk are at the bottom to me.  The others were great and enjoyable.  Doctor Strange I bounce between okay and love it.  But I cannot put my finger on why. 

  3. 4 hours ago, Christopher R Taylor said:

    The British approach television as stories rather than seasons; they make a show as long as it takes to tell the story they have, then they're done.  If there are ideas to do another such story, they do another series.  Its odd to American audiences, but in the modern internet age, its a better option I think

    My wife and I prefer the British shows for just this reason.

  4. If they can make some with a more optimistic it helps, like Wonder Woman I would be happy.

     

    All the brooding stuff just gets annoying after so many movies. 

     

    We get it, you like the Frank Miller dark and brooding. But that is not the comics that lasted 100 years and still captures some of our hearts.

     

    Wonder Woman on the other hand had a hero being a hero because she wanted to make the world better.

     

    Yeh dark heroes are nice now and then, but after 6 movies we get the point.

  5. 1: don't have the link, but look for Killer Shrike's Hero Stuff

     

    2: lots of people still play previous versions, no worries.

     

    3: 75+75 (150) is a fine starting value. But honestly it can be any value you want.

     

    4: If you post your characters people will definitely offer feedback.

     

    5: I will not opine on this.

     

    6: require all spells to take. Full Minute to activate, Gesture, Incantation, Trigger, Usable by Others.

     

    7: Your welcome

     

    8a: Hero alreadyin had an endurance economy, I would just ignore power points and use the hero endurance economy.

     

    8b: I would do corruption as either a Complication or as a Side Effect. But most likely as a Side Effect.
