Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? Yes, in the 1600s, people would be executed for such thoughts. But as the post I was operating from mentioned neitehr date nor name, but did specificly refer to extraterrestrial aliens, I assumed it must be much later. My bad.

Re: Religion in Science-Fiction? OK, that is a good point. Other religions have faded out and died away..well, not completely. I had a friend in college who was an Odinist. But the reason I believe my religion will endure is because I believe it is true. You do not, which is your opinion and you're entitled to it. But, by the same token, you have to admit that those religions were replaced by a different religion, not by a lack of religion. So, even if it's not the religions we know, what makes you so sure there won't be a belief system of some kind as long as humanity endures?

Re: Alien Jedi's Any sentient being with Force abilities can be trained as a Jedi. The Sith rules on non-humans change depending on the writer. There has never yet been an Ewok Jedi in cannon (as far as I know), but there is at least one in my timeline set 1000 years after the movies.

Re: World's Finest OK, registered at Herocentral, applied for the campaign, and sent a PM to itsalwayssunny. Now we play the waiting game...

Re: World's Finest While Hyperman Jr. will be a monster in combat, his skills will be in other areas. And I expect to encounter my fair share of Neonite.

Re: All-Winners Squad Trueness. If I decide to play in both, I'll come up with something else for the Golden Age (with your approval of course). But you realize that in order for Hyperman Jr. to be the character I envinsion, Hyperman needs to be around in the Golden Age. As a background NPC of course. If it's cool with you, I'd love to collaborate with you on where he is and what he's doing, far away from the PCs' adventures.

Re: All-Winners Squad Hey, itsalwayssunny, is this campaign in any way connected to the Silver Age campaign I'm going to be involved in? Like maybe being the past of campaign? If so, perhaps I could play the original Hyperman. And all I have to change would be the psylims, occupation, and one of the hunteds.

Re: World's Finest Read the campaign description. Need to adda DNPC, so I'll drop my rivalry (no sister for me).

Re: World's Finest And after doing soem building, it looks like I'm gonna have just a flying brick with no sensory powers or EB. Maybe he'll just have to develop those later.

Re: World's Finest OK, so Hyperman, Jr. (even though he hates that name and is trying to come up with soemthing better). 100 pts. + 150 Disads. (Dad, of course, would be built on AT LEAST 500 pts. if I'm playing the son). I'm thinking typical flying brick, probably enhanced senses (including N-Ray Vision) and maybe an EB. I'm gonna start building him tonight using 5th Ed. Hero Designer. And I will be keeping the build as simple as possible.

Re: World's Finest The character I was thinking of is Hyperman (working title, may change it), world's first and best-loved superhero. Wife as a DNPC, son (Hyperboy) and daughter (Hypergirl) as followers. But now I'm thinking it may be even more fun to play the son. Trying to get out form under his dad's shadow while at the same time living up to the name. What time period are we talking about? If it's the '50s, he would still be a teenager, but if it's the '60s, he could be a full-grown man in his own right. Also, have you thought about point totals and such?

Re: World's Finest Sounds like it could be lots of fun, and I actually have a couple characters in mind who might fit the bill. Are we talking about doing this through Hero Central or what? If so, I need to re-register there as there's no way I can remember my old ID and password. Itsalwayssunny, how would you feel about a character who is a hold-over from the Golden Age? I'm thinking something liek Earth-2 Superman.

Re: World's Finest That would be Martian Manhunter.

Re: Crossover events (has anyone else actually done this) I am so jealous. I have wanted to do soemthing like this for decades, ever since I started GMing. But I've never been anle to make it happen for various reasons.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Gimme a Hell Yeah! ...sorry, had to.

Re: Worst Hero Names (of your campaigns) "Some have been known to call me...Tim."

Re: WWE Snark-Free Zone Much disappointment. No Taker. No Statler and Waldorf (unless I missed it). But trhe bit with Sheamus and Beaker was funny.

Re: WWE Snark-Free Zone Halloween. Raw tonight. Anybody else think the Deadman may put in an appearance?

Re: Super Friends Just remember that they all had the psylim: Cannot hit anybody.Or, given the nature of the show, it may actually be a physical limitation.

Re: What do you think of supervillain teams? I personally love villain teams. Gives me somthing to throw at the heroes that has the same advantages they do. Diversity, teamwork, etc. Plus, there are several reasons for such teams to get together and stay together. Some are mercenary groups that work well together and maybe even like each other. Some are made up of the individual villains of the PCs, banded together to keep their enemies from ganging up on them. One is the villainous equivalent of the Fantastic Four. Not power-wise, but that they are basicly a super-family, just on the other side of the law.

Re: WWYCD: I've been relaunched/Rebooted! Voltage would be back in high school, and sidekicking for Steel Centurian. On the bad side, he's too young for beer and college girls now. On the good side, he's away from the strangest group of superheroes ever gathered. As for family, his parents have been dead for a few years and he was still in college when the change occured, so no family of his own. Either Centurian or his wife would now be of a different ethnicity, and it would be a mixed marriage. Voltage himself would still have the blue skin and no hair. Costume would be an updated version of the "spandex" one he wore previously. His biggest concern would be finding out the status of certain well-known and long-standing heroes and villains (especially Viper and Dr. Destroyer) in a world where superheroes have only been known for five years. It also brings his own origin into question, as it's heavily tied in to Viper's activities just before his birth, and the fact that his father was a supervillain who retired before he was born.

Re: WWE Snark-Free Zone Well put. In the immortal words of Farooq, "...DAMN!"

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares OK, I recognize Batman, Wolverine, and Rorshach. But who else is in there?
