Re: WWYCD?: The blatant-ening. I enjoyed the meticulously explicit opening post as well, but found myself disappointed with how Pendaran failed to maintain that theme. For instance, he could have responded to criticism with: "Frustrated with not being able to trick his players into answering the way he wanted them to, the GM invents new obstacles to foil their unexpected solutions. Frustrated with being unable to make YOU accept his beliefs about WWYCD's, he abandons his scenario and resorts to invective." To be effective, a parody has to be funny and a satire must provide some new insight into the original subject matter. But instead of continuing the 3rd-person narrative which had served him so well, Pendaran chose to show (not tell). This was neither funny nor new. I also thought the "Slatyn Yar breaks 4th walls" could have been done better. That approach relies on the player accepting the GM's authority, which - at the moment a table is being flipped over - has just been rejected. A more realistic approach, IMO, would have been to say "The GM, having anticipated this reaction, took the precaution of bolting his table to the floor." In retrospect, I'm startled that noone has put this disclaimer into a WWYCD thread before.

Re: Charges is a limitation? Oddly, only the "benefits of Limitations" behavior is noted in 5ER (page 280). Perhaps the author(s) only deemed it necessary to notify players that Limitations might not work as expected?

Re: Charges is a limitation? Err . . . semantics incorporates context, which itself includes perspective. If you're arguing semantics with someone who omits perspective, that doesn't prove semantics is pointless, just that they're making a bad argument By the way, Advantages and Limitations are not rendered invalid just because they can offer both benefits and drawbacks in different situations; indeed, this behavior is noted (and approved of) in the book.

Re: Mind link to a vehicle "Error: ATTACK not a recognized command."

2 animated seasons and an emerging comic book series. Its writer (the original Gargoyles author), in a nod to (dis?)continuity fans everywhere, is basically pretending the 3rd season never happened I can't be the only one here who thinks Gargoyles would make a good Dark Fantasy campaign, right? Right?!? Come on, people. Chime in so I don't feel like the only one interested in converting this to HERO

Re: Who are the top 5 most powerful characters in your Campaign. Unless every GM who runs a HERO campaign, by default, checks in with every other GM (or a central authority) to ensure that each of their settings are compatible with every other - they're not running "the" Champions universe. They're running a Champions universe, or in other words, their campaign world. I don't know why you even bother putting me on an Ignore list. You apparently haven't had any difficulty before now with ignoring the point I repeatedly called your attention to: namely, that you are assuming Catacomb contradicted canon when neither his alleged contradictions nor alleged intent to do so have been factually (or logically) evident. This is the context which prevents your allegations from having any status more legitimate than opinion.
