Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Masterchef Australia - Julie wins. Yay! Glee (pilot) - Lots of fun.

Re: "Neat" Pictures A hearty congratulations, my man! (I know how it feels to see that - we pop in August)

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Adventureland. I liked it.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Much better heads

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Hey there. Long time admirer, first time caller. Critical feedback on the FF: 1) I think Reed looks a little too young - needs a few more character lines or something maybe. 2) Ben looks fine except I feel his head looks a bit too small. It looks about the same size as Reed's and that doesn't sit right for me. Otherwise great stuff

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Eurovision. I like to think of it as "What would happen if Euro Superheroes had a singing contest?" Some superb characters for Susano's 'Pictures That Might Be Superheroes' amongst this year's entries (Let alone Lordi from years previous :-) ).

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Ummm... last night I watched The Biggest Loser final episode and grand finale, Masterchef Australia's first episode, and (for tonight) half an episode of Bondi Rescue and the evening news. I really need to watch more TV that I want to watch when I get the chance.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? About half an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Kill me, kill me now.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Part One and Two of the British Channel 4 Doco Bringing Up Baby. It's a hoot but seriously disturbing that these are all considered valid child rearing methods as they are.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Two bits here - The Background and The Quote. The background is quite lengthy (feel free to skip it) so the summary is Kai Sun has quit the leadership, there is a mob war in Moscow, and something bad has gone down at Militia Headquarters. The Background The Knights of Justice have returned to Moscow to find all out war between two criminal families, with one family involving VIPER in the mix as allies. Kai Sun (martial artist from another dimension) quits being team leader as he feels he shouldn't be speaking for the Earth as he isn't from it, plus no one in the team seems to listen to him. The Knights of Justice wage a war against one of the criminal families because some members feel they should be doing something plus one crime family murdered a member of the Moscow Militia (who was selling information to the bad guys, but they did it in Militia HQ). We capture the person responsible for the murder, and incarcerate them in the Militia HQ. VIPER sends its two main enforcers, Wrack and Ruin (think slightly less tough than Viperia, but one is a telepath specialising in pain and the other an Akira-level telekinetic) to the HQ and (offscreen) level it to the ground. The Knights of Justice rescue and, in Kai Sun's case, heal those they can, but the toll is high. Wrack and Ruin appear at the scene and tell Kai Sun that they will be coming for the Kinghts of Justice in 48 hours. After the clean up Kai Sun makes a few choices, and decides to address the world. The Quote ** - at this point my wife's phone rang with the theme tune to a particular 80's TV show causing the OOC line "to resist the tempation to... call the A Team" to appear on the night

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Actually I find most movies starring Paul Hogan make me want to stick me head in an oven And Gallipoli is a brilliant film - hard to believe it's coming up on 30 years old. Hasn't really dated at all except for the Jean Michel Jarre music.

Re: Surprisingly Effective Builds? 1D6 RKA with +2 Variable advantage worked pretty well in a 60 AP DC cap game.

Re: Champions Personality Poll I'm Spiderman. Seriously

Re: Villain tactics and GM dirty tricks Non-flying Bricks and Martial Artists often have trouble with flying Energy Projectors or Mentalists. Find Weakness is often a great equalizer for a villain as long as the attack's DC isn't too high - then it becomes a player killer. Mentalists often have trouble with other Mentalists. Area Effect attacks are the Martial Artist's bane. So are entangles for them and characters with Accessible Focii. Damage Reduction is a great way to give a villain staying power in a fight without making them impossible for lower DC attacks to hurt. No one likes to be Flashed or 'Darknessed'. Also Invisibility is great for keeping characters off guard. Anyone with a high level of movement will be challenging for most groups if they use hit and run tactics. Energy Projecting Speedsters are particularly nasty. Having an opposing villain team fight as a team is a great challenge. My final bit of advice is this: know which genre/comic book age you want try to simulate and go for it. Communicate it clearly to your players (get consensus on what that means) and tell them to trust you. Ignore and change the rules as you see fit to fit within this and you'll be fine. Have fun
