Re: Star Wars Hero: Advice please...

Thanks again, everybody. This has given me plenty of ideas.

Re: WWE Non-Snark Free Zone

I knew I messed the thread title as soon as I posted it. If there is someone out there who can either remove the Non or the Free, I would be grateful.

 

As for some of the comments, I would say about TNA... they should stop being like the WWE or even WCW. They have a great group of talent stars, and they should focus on those. I think they could be a successful company if they focused on being a true alternative rather than another entertainment organization.

Amen brother! That was the thing that really got me when Hogan and company came on board, symbolized very well by his introduction of the "New" Impact Zone. "Gee, how original and innovative. They've replaced the six-sided ring with a square one." Just said to me that the new direction was going to be eliminating everything that made TNA a true alternative to WWE, instead of just the wrestling show that's on Thursday nights.

Re: WWE Non-Snark Free Zone

Here's a question: Who would you say is the most under-rated pro wrestler of all time? Who, in your opinion, just never got their due? For me, it would have to be Arn Anderson.

Re: WWE Non-Snark Free Zone

Here's my question: who's going to be the voice of the faces at the commentary table if Lawler steps away? While I could hear dueling heels with Punk and Cole (with Punk never respecting Cole)' date=' there does need to be someone to try to at least call the match while everyone else is going for the put-downs and one-liners.[/quote']

 

I think Punk will do a quick turn. After all, he was rooting for the King the whole match. This could be why they brought Punk into ther announce team to begin with. So he could take Lawler's place when he retires or gets back in the ring. I'd love to see him wrestle for one more year, culminating with him finally winning the WWE title before retiring for good. Or that could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Re: WWE Non-Snark Free Zone

On another topic, what do the rest of you think of the current state of TNA? Personally, I liked it much better before Hogan came onboard. Although I am looking forward to a bif Samoa Joe push. But then, it seems like I've been looking forward to that for a long time.

Re: WWE Non-Snark Free Zone

I admit I was psyched by the Miz/Lawler match, especially those times when it looked like the King was gonna pull it off. I've laways enjoyed watching him wrestler, especially when he's beating down some young punk who's too full of himself. Kind of makes you wonder where they're gonna go with it next, though. As far as Lawler's interaction with Michael Cole from now on, I mean. I would love to see Lawler decide he can't work with Cole anymore, and step back inot the ring full-time. After all, he did almost beat the WWE champion last night.

Re: Star Wars Hero: Advice please...

Thank you both. Looking it over now.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares

The goggles!! They do nothing!!!

I'm thinking of running a Star Wars game in the Hero system, and I thought I'd ask Herodom Assembled for some advice. If you've done this before; how many points/disads did you give the PCs? How did that work for you? How did you do Force powers; VPP, Mutipower, or just have them buy each one individually? How much damage for various weapons? All help appreciated.

Re: Running for a Villain Team

I have decided a simple way to get a villain team together. Each PC has a heroic nemesis. These heroes have just formed a team. Now, the PCs have to cooperate or they're each as good as in jail.

Re: Naming the first superhero

And if his powers are Focus based he would be the Dude with the Thing and we know where that leads.

Kill the Dude with the Thing!!!

Re: Online Champions games... anyone seen/played them?

I run a Champions game every other Saturday morning, using Second Life to gather my group. If you don't know SL, check it out at www.secondlife.com. If anyone's interested in a game that involves superheroes played through different comic book/historical ages, PM me. We're currently in the Pulp ASge, getting ready in a few adventures, to advance to the Golden Age.

Re: Naming the first superhero

Was the campaign world the same as the real world up until then? The same comic books and everything? If so, a good name for the first superhero (especially a flying brick), could be Archetype.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

Morrigan and Dornoch

 

Morrigan is a direct descendant of Morgan Le Fay, and like her anscestor she too is a powerful witch. Dornoch is her familiar, an overweight black cat who talks with a Scottish accent.

I am SO stealing this for my campaign!

Re: How do you use The Champions in your campaign?

It has varied, depending on my campaign. But this time around, I'm probably not going to use them at all. When we get to the appropriate time-period, the PC team is more than welcome to use the name, though, as it's a great name for a hero-team.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares

Wow.....that is six different kinds of cool.

Re: The Greatest American Hero

you could say it was just a flash in the pan.

 

 

I kill me

Well, somebody should.

Re: '70s TV Supers

OMG, whos' the necromancer? The bad thing is, reading all this again puts the idea back in my head. Maybe I'll have to ask my players what they think.

Re: Super Wrestlers

Are you wanting stats or just ideas? Some are easy; Undertaker: Brick with enhanced agility and a magic VPP. Kane: Same as his brother but replace the magic with fire-control. Abyss: Monster Brick. Sting: Enhanced agility and strength, stealth, duplication. Ric Flair: World's greatest wrestler...wait, that's the real Ric Flair. Hulk Hogan: Demi-Brick with illusion powers that make peope think he's a LOT better than he actually is. Etc...
