Re: Turakian Ages meets Terran Empire Sounds like a campaign I'd love to play in. The one thing I can see is that you need to give a little more information about exactly how magic works at this point. You mentioned magic powering technology, so the first question I'd have is, where does magic end and technology begin in this universe?

Re: Fictional citys With me, it depends. Sometimes I base a city off a real world location, sometimes I make one up from whole cloth, and sometimes I steal someone else's fictional city, change the name, and possibly even move it. I like to come up with at least an outline of the city's history, but leave room for player input and PC backgrounds to change things.

Re: Robocop vs Terminator I humbly present the following: http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2012/01/robocop-vs-terminator-1.html I love ATFW.

Re: Power Time! Suddenly, a career in pro wrestling and/or MMA becomes a possibility. Unless my increased intelligence steers me away from that.

Re: Robocop vs Terminator The excellent comic book mini-series by Frank Miller (back before he went crazy), answers this question very well. The only hope the Terminators really have is greater numbers/ But as the OP said "as they were in their original movies" (paraphrasing), then Murphey wins, because according to Kyle Reese, the resistance detroyed the Machines' only time-travel facility after he and the first Terminator were sent back.

Re: Power Time! Not sure I could answer that, as the extra 100 or so points in IQ would probably open up new paths of thought. Question; does my body undergo any other changes? Such as gaining a "typical comic-book physique?"

Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!! Most of mine have already been touched on by others. But I do have one nobody else has given. I found the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie to be better than the comic. Much more entertaining.

Re: Star Wars Hero: Why should I? (or not)

Re: X Ray-ted Vision Voltage: Would do it in a New York second. He's 19 years old, with a public identity (blue skin and glowing eyes are a little hard to conceal), and would love the opportunity to show off the "goods." Mass: Would turn it down, as he just wouldn't see the point. He's a scientist, and would consider it more important to spend the time in his lab rather than naked in a photo studio. Hyperman Jr.: No way. Would never even consider it. He is basicly a Silver Age DC superhero. Gargoyle: Would say "Can you wait three years? I'm under age right now." He may look like a seven foot, bat winged, four-armed monster, but inside he's a fifteen year old kid. But once he did pose, it could cause quite a reaction among certain people. Solarra: Would do it as long as she got to keep her mask on, her girlfriend could be present (also masked) at the shoot, and she got to pick the charity. Jade Dragon: Would not. She considers her naked body to be a sacred gift given only to those she considers the most deserving. Tiger-Girl : Would do it. She usually only wears what ammounts to a blue bikini anyway. And the furry fans would love it.

Re: Lucha Libre Hero I would love to try it out. And not just because I'm a wrestling fan. But, just for the record, I am not up for a third game on Hero Central.

Re: Alien Jedi's Actually...Lumpy, under a different name, has long been a part of the EU. IIRC, it wasd revealed that his full name is Lumparawoo, and everybody in the books calls him a different shorter version of that (Waroo, I think), but those among the fandom who know about the special generally acknowledge him as "Lumpy."

Re: Superhero movie serial-style Champions In the immprtal words of Andy Kaufman; "Thenkyuvedymush."

Re: The Supervillain game: Have you done it and how did it go? I've run a couple, and they can be fun with the right group of players. The biggest problem about a villain campaign si giving the PCs a reason to team up and stay together. I would recommend having each player coem up with his character's superhero nemesis, and then announcing that all those heroes have just formed a tightly-knit group. Gives the villains incentive to do the same. Safety in numbers and all that.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? Very interesting, and provides quite a few story hooks. I like it! Stolen! *LOL*

Re: Superhero movie serial-style Champions Well, I was mostly just stating what my preference would be, given the opportunity.

Re: Superhero movie serial-style Champions If I'm going to play a Serial Hero, I'm gonna be the guy with the jet-pack, leather jacket, and pistol.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? Is it me, or have we gotten off topic in this thread? For which, I admit, I bear a largish measure of responsibility.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? Nice.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? I also consider the LDS to be a denomination of Christianity. Anyone who worships Jesus Christ and believes He is the only Son of God is, by definition, a Christian. As for Baha'i, I think you're slightly off about its origin. I dated a girl in college who's family was of the Baha'i faith, and they said it was an offshoot of Judaism. But that may have been a mistake on their part. Or it could be shoddy memory on my part.

Re: Alien Jedi's Seems to me that the Rebellion wouldn't just pack up and leave a danger to Endor after their victory. After all, if they can stay around long enough for a celebration, they can stay long enough to clean up the worst of the mess. Get it while it's still in orbit and send it into the system's sun. Or whatever they needed to do. And yes, I do know about Hongohr, but that was a crashed ship, not a disintegrated one. And the Empire acted to artificially make the disaster even worse, under the guise of cleaning it up.

Re: Superhero movie serial-style Champions True enough, but i think the intent was to do some thing "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"-style. Where different heroes who would have been the title characters of their own serials, team up to take on a threat none of them could face alone. Sort of like the movie serial version of the Avengers or JLA.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? There you go.

Re: Alien Jedi's Well, my timeline includes Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy, and Endor is shown to be just fine in those.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? What exactly do you mean by that? How am I not participating in the conversation? As for the remarks about Nephilim, my understanding has always been that the "Sons of God" mentioned were Angels, making the nephilim half human/half angel. There is a difference between angels and aliens. and between terrestrial aliens nd extraterretrial aliens, which is what the conversation seems to be about. And maybe I'm just dense, but how is the quote from Merchant of Venice relevant? It's not as if I'm quoting Stephen Hawking to try to prove God exists.
