  1. You start that jabber around me, I’m gonna have to knock you to the ground and start sprinkling you with water while yelling “The Power of Christ Compels You”. “Get me a young priest and an old priest.”
  2. As a GM, I’d allow it and not knowing how to drive, as a a very small limitation (maybe 3 pts.) Spider-Man had it during the whole Spider-Mobile era.
  3. Yes I remember Clutch Cargo.....because I’m OLD! Thanks for reminding me! If you’re gonna steal from the Banana Splits you should do a series of episodes going through history like those Huck Finn live action/animated things or crash land the heroes on Danger Island. “Uh-Oh, Chongo!” (As a kid I actually ruined one of my mothers good steak knives cutting the handle section off of a whiffle ball bat and using some clothesline to make that staff weapon Morgan carried.)
  4. I want to see the scene from Search for Spock when Kirk is told by the Klingon Capt. that his son was killed. But I want Shatner to say “You Klingon son, you killed my bastard.”
  5. Do we really want to see these two with the munchies?

    I am VERY big on the Dresden Files. Especially now that the series has been shaken up in so many ways. His last two novels came out back to back and had a cliffhanger the likes of which I haven’t seen since Avengers: Infinity War.
  7. And then Hugh whipped his out and said “That’s what uncircumcised looks like.....also what ten inches looks like.”
  8. I know it’s not a Spam Lamb, so what kind of nasty, vegan, abomination before God, broke out of the laboratory killing everyone in its path thing is this? By the way, Happy Easter!
  9. Hey Tribble, how would you like to play a nice game of solitaire?
  10. I’m not generally a great resource for working the rules. But the D20 system had multi-class characters. In that system your Unarmed Brawler would be done as X levels of Strong and Y levels of Martial Artist. Could something like this be adapted?
  11. Let’s hear it for Captain Boomer-Butt!
  12. I don’t remember it, but it sounds right. 👍
  13. Thanks. I’m not a big fan of Toby Keith, but I am of Willie Nelson and I really liked the video they did for “Beer for my Horses. And it’s a great line. My old sig was “In times of moral crisis I ask myself...What would the Lone Ranger do?” So, new kid, are you new to role-playing games, Champions in particular or just to this site?
  14. Wouldn’t it be easier to cover the page in post-it notes and move or remove them as the team moves through the dungeon?
  15. I think they have one of those. His name is Rupert Murdock. 😛
  16. I remember a BH episode where Jethro gets his draft notice. Everyone in the family was real impressed that the President sent him a letter....”Greetings!” Does anybody remember what happened about that? I’m thinking now about Jethro in Vietnam. Slipping through the woods/jungle should be pretty easy for a country boy like him, and we already discussed his being a crack shot. Besides if the Army could get Forrest Gump through basic training and the Marines put Gomer Pyle through Boot Camp then Jethro Bodine is going to the ‘Nam. Wow, I’m picturing Jethro as an angry vet like Rambo or the guy from the song Copperhead Road.
  17. I’ve been binge watching The Ranch. A NetFlicks situation dramedy starring Ashton Kutcher and everybody he’s ever worked with. It’s about a struggling family cattle ranch In Colorado. It’s surprisingly not bad. AK is a failed football player who comes back home after 15 years of chasing the dream on smaller and smaller teams. The costars are Sam Elliot & Debra Winger as the estranged parents and Danny Masterson (Kelso from That ‘70’s Show) as the brother.
  18. I get that the goalposts change every few generations, but I do know what crop rotation is, that hasenfeffer is a German dish with rabbit meat (even if I can’t spell it) and that horses do in fact wear shoes. As to the idea that there are people out there who don’t know who the Beatles are...they need to be taken out and either beaten, shot or educated depending on their reason. See, I can be reasonable.
  19. In the words of Dennis Miller (he was a comic) “I don’t want to go off on a rant here....but.” When we’re using the word “culture” I’m not expecting someone from another country to get every pop reference or being upset when my nieces and nephews didn’t get my comment about some TV show from before they were born. To use your example, if you played me some classical music and asked me who the composer was I’d have either no clue or a blind guess. But I have heard of both Mozart and Beethoven. I know that Mozart is a term for a child genius and Beethoven was deaf. How do I know these things? Because I pay at least a vague amount of attention to the world around me. I couldn’t name three Indian dishes, but I know if I go to an Indian restaurant the food will be spicy and I won’t be able to get a steak. Back a million years ago when I was growing up a person was expected to know what was called “common knowledge”. Now the norm is to be oblivious. I get that there’s a lot more information coming at people now and we all need to turn our brains off from time to time just to keep what sanity we have left. But it’s the pride in the “I don’t know and I have no interest in finding out” attitude that makes me crazy.
  20. No, I have no opinion on which build would be better. I was just imagining how it would look and act in role-play. The WMG is the classic for the “Wait for it....Wait for it....BA-BOOOOOM!!!!
  21. What you’re going for could be considered the Energy Blast’s version of a Haymaker Punch. Like the Wave Motion Gun in Star Blazers.
