Re: Greatest Western Movies of all Time I'm surprised no-one mentioned "Lightning Jack" (or was it "Lightning Jack McQueen?) A fun departure from the mainstream. Others, in rough order: Unforgiven The Quick and the Dead ack, my brain is fried. Gotta go. Be back when I remember the rst. Here we go: Bruce Cassady and the Sundance Kid For a Fistfull of Dollars The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly That Zorro movie with Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro) sticks in my mind too, though it only qualifies as a 'Western' by taking place in California around 1850(?) or so. Oddly, the Magnificent Seven doesn't stick in my mind as much as these.

Re: No Ordinary Quiz "Your Super Power Is Super Speed, Like Stephanie Powell" Eerily, this is one of my picks before taking the quiz. Others being duplication, super-smarts, and martial arts.

Re: Original Characters Who's Chloe O'Brien?

Re: Title Tag Returns! Forgot my ideas. :/ 1) Blue Box Pain, Red Box Death, Black Box Doom 2) Attack of the Sequels! 3) The Awesome Power of Stupidity.

Re: The Classic Justice League starting members on 350 points . Hmm. Thanks. I always imagined that Iron Man would clock in right about a 75 point multipower for his blasts: 10d6 Autofire EB for the Pulse Cannons (IIrc), 10d6 EB for the regular Repulsors, 15d6 EB for the full-out blast that does Knockback to him, etc. Obviously, I'd have to bring it back to Defender-levels.

Re: Title Tag Returns! You wouldn't like me when I'm happy Normally the immortal Dragonlord Palaskar travels the world seeking answers -- but also worthy opponents. Woe be he who challenges this ordinary warrior! In combat, Palaskar enters mystic awareness, finding serenity in battle. For generations he was the best in the world. Except for one. Now...if he could only find that warrior who beat him....

Re: The Classic Justice League starting members on 350 points Awesome! I never believed that these characters could be done with any sort of faithfulness to the material on 350 points. Repped! Can you do the JLA-level Marvel characters (Avengers, some of the Avengers...etc.) I've tried to write-up Pheonix (Jean grey version) but failed. Of course, this in the days before Magascale. I'd like to see Doc Strange and Iron Man if nothing else -- they're some of my favorite characters for reasons I don't really grasp.

Re: Weird Weapons for your Games I've seen a writeup for an Ugly Stick: 4d6, OAF.

Re: "Crowning Moment of Cool?" When I click on the Londo Mollari link on teh Earth-Minbari war, I get the Season 5 Emperor talking about Centauri, not the one that goes kind of like this: When they ran out of ships, they fought with tanks. WHen they ran out of tanks they fought with guns. When they ran out of guns, they fought with stick and stones. When they ran out of stick and stones, they fought with bare hands. They. Were. MAGNIFICENT (SP?)

Re: Avatars: The -other- Patriots Well, I'm kinda surprised that these virtues were left out: humilty courage, truth, love honor, sacrifice, justice spirituality they're from Ultima's .... wait for it.... The Avatar series of Ultima games On a more series, I think these virtues could be reworked into something that doesn't steal from RIchard Garriot.

Re: Beating Dr. Destroyer...how do (or did) you do it? lemming wrote: NND plus penetrating, not legal. I did not know that. D'oh! I didn't think of these either. (though, to be fair, I'm using my Hero-fu from 5th ed.) Erase this method from the "defeating Dr. Destroyer thread."

Re: Beating Dr. Destroyer...how do (or did) you do it? Then there's this one: Hi There Cthulhu!: Images: Images to Elder Gods, Megascale, Difficult to Dispel (several times, or what it takes to counter Doc's VPP) Persistent. Doc may able to defeat Takofanes, but let's face it, he going to have a problem when say, Cthluhu, Dagon, etc. bother him om a regular basis.

Re: Beating Dr. Destroyer...how do (or did) you do it? Well, there's always: Oh, God, the Stench!: NND vs air freshening (or air air, or water -- something Doc doesn't have). That Doesn't Help at All!/Matter Eater Stench: NND does Body. You can only play the same trick with taste or some equally rare sense. I'm not sure if this would be affected with Doc's life support (He has complete. right?) -- but if that happens, you can just make the NND penetrating x2, x3, whatever. Also, you can make it long-lasting...or God help us, Autofire.

Re: Beating Dr. Destroyer...how do (or did) you do it? Well, there's always this: Please Mommy, Don't Hurt Me!: PRE Drain or Transfer, w/ penetrating (x2 if necessary), long-lasting perhaps. I'd never allow this, because it totally breaks Dr. Destroyer's concept of being the most bad-ass villain of the modern age. I'd say he has a Dispel (or the like) in one of his bases, frex. He just has to work up the courage to use it. That and the PC stupid enough to do will create of TPK (or worse, see below) of epic proportions. Here' the list I drew up, in increasing level of nastiiness: 1) Death From Above!:Orbital laser 2) BOOM!: Multi-megaton nuke 3) Human Extinction Attack!: Kill 90% of humanity (like in The Island of Doctor Destroyer module) 4) Dimensional Portal/Really Big Hyperspace Sign: Summon Azozoth (sp?)/Galactus-analogue or the like 5) The Cable Option: Go back in time, clone the offending character, switch the babies of the playing character PC is the clone, train and modifier the real character is a drooling, deformed "attack dog" who obeys all the Doctor's whims and attacks the PCs on a regular basis. The "attack dog" will, of course, be really hard to kill, but easly to splatter so the Doctor can beat him. Again and again and again. Actually, #5 seems interesting, despite being like several Iron Age stories. (Which was not intentional, really. Except for Cable.)

Re: Worst Hero Names (of your campaigns) Still funny when I read it the second time. I gave you rep (last post), of course.
