Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... And yet, despite running this game, I am as sane as I was when I started. Which is to say, not very. Quotes from this week's Fading Suns campaign where the situation officially has been downgraded from FUBAR to SNAFU. They really work better without too much context, just know that we are on a space station that just jumped from one system to another (by-passing another system entirely) and back again in less than 20 minutes. The station also had a serious Symbiot infestation. "And you think this is confusing. I'm watching it happen!" OOC: "I now name this place, Amityville Station. 'GET OUT!'" And, when trying to describe the monochromatic red of what remains of the station's control center. OOC: "You've seen 'The Shining', right?" But my fave, not for any amusement value, but for the dirty looks it got from my fellow players. Me (Inquisitor-Oblate Dutch McClaine): "By Inquisitorial order, all aboard Edo station and the battleship 'Retribution' are herby sentenced to one day of penance." I just love my title.

Re: Disturbing Character premises... And once again we come back to people ascribing absolutes to an abstract concept. There are only nine alignments, but there are a LOT more variations within the population. For a character to have an evil alignment, they don't need to be all "Mwahahaha!". It comes down to motivation and methodology.

Re: Disturbing Character premises... Don't get me started on oversexed pre-teens!

Re: Disturbing Character premises... Yes, but I'm referring to players with whom 2 out of every three characters fit the lesbian nymphomaniac mold.

Re: Disturbing Character premises... Speaking of generbending. I once played a shadowrun mage who kept a shapeshift spell on him/her at all times. The party had managed to figure out that my club-hopping character was a bi-sexual with gender dysphoria, but they couldn't figure out if he/she was pre-op or post-op. They also took a while to find that the character had been born male (SINless and all that). When they found that the core of the characters dysphoria was from being locked into only one gender. I creeped the table out for about the next four sessions. His/Her sexual liasons were always played "behind the curtain". You would think that the handle Succubus might have been a bit of a hint.

Re: Disturbing Character premises... That's how I handle it. What I find disturbing is the number of genderbend-PCs that are lesbian nymphomaniacs. Played by overweight 40+ year olds!

Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory rjcurrie's format works, so let's all try and stick to that. A.N.V.I.L (Artificial Networked Violence and Infiltration League) -- A small firm that broke away from ARGENT. They specialize in custom-built androids.

Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory In my game I have made a couple of references to a malady that afflicts the metahuman population. There is even a benefit concert in the works, to commemorate the death of Tachyon. S.T.A.R.S: Superhuman Toxic Allergic Reaction Syndrome. (I.E. Susceptibility to otherwise harmless substances).

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I had forgotten about that. Eventually, Vitus is going to realize how useful computers might be for his research:angst:

Re: Most Obscure Reference You've Ever Worked Into a Game Fairly recently, I did have several characters in my City on the Edge campaign enter astral space and have a talk with an Sorcerer who had followed his friend into a "heavenly realm" only to wander back into the timelessness of the astral. Yes, Alan Moore used him first, but I read the book in question between the two sessions that involved him. I had already decided to include him, and Moore's take is just to superb to pass up. With my own little twist, of course.

Re: Champions Universe: The Unresolved Questions/Plots

Re: Disturbing Character premises... I have been informed that I have made my friend's significant other cry. He related to her my view on the Care Bears and she suddenly saw them as I did. She was a big fan of them, apparently. Oops.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Still, for all the faults in the character's, err... character, he generates a lot of interest and discussion. Which is why nobody has asked him to retire the character. His interactions with the rest of the party and the world they live in is a part of what keeps the game interesting. Well, right up to the point where Vitus discovers that the Spectre has coupled with three. Then I'll have to bring in another character because my immortal will be dead.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The Spectre believes that Vitus was once a hero, but the events of his life have worn him down to an angry and bitter anti-hero. This is probably why he's so frustrated with Vitus.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... And the Specter raised a family in 19th Century Kingdom City. With all the metahuman activity there, he decided to return "home".
