Nooooooo. I was just piling on for comedic effect. That’s why the slam in Yiddish. Let’s just chalk it up to the fact that print does not easily convey tongue in cheek very well.

The idea of the Wookiee’s (later Ewoks) taking on the Empire was an allegory for the Viet Cong defeating the U.S. in Vietnam. The lore is that George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola being in U.S.C. Film School together had plans to tell the story each in his own way...George in Star Wars and Francis in Apocalypse Now. Whether that part is true I make no assurances of.

Here lies Les Moore It took 4 shots from a .44 No Less No Moore Attributed to most every town in the old west.

This is a internet site devoted to a role-playing game about Superheroes........at what point were you expecting James Bond levels of cool. Schmuck. Stooge-fu is actually in the Ninja Hero sourcebook.

Maybe that’s more believable but it’s not as much fun. If that’s all they were, we’d just be watching “Duck Dynasty wins the lotto.”

I always liked the bar in Family Guy being called the Drunken Clam. The Censors might have just taken this as stated because the town of Quahog is named for a clam. But at least here in the Northeastern U.S. that word is also used to describe a part of the female anatomy.

I was just commenting on the Hamilton reference. You lost me on the whole Bernie thing.

By all accounts a lovely lady. Rest in Light.

I’m from MA. but I lived in Phoenix for a number of years. We need to import some of these. Maybe we can send them some Dunkin Donuts places in exchange. He can be the greatest person in the world, somebody just got a picture of him looking kind of silly for a second. It’s not a big deal unless it gets overplayed. If this doesn’t blow over by Feb. then you have a point.

We need a name, I missed that part. Hmmm....how about Academy of the S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s dramatic and gives you a pretty good idea of what the comic/TV show/movie/fanfic is all about.

The question isn’t about “How hard is Champions to learn?” but more “How do we get more people to try Champions?” Other companies have done it successfully for themselves by putting an FREE easy to learn version of their game rules on-line complete with pre-generated characters and an ready to play adventure. The business model is based on “Here kid, the first hit’s free.” And doing this with Champions, a game that the company is known for and uses a genre that is not only very popular right now, but that Hero Games has almost to itself. This isn’t a Fantasy game that has to fight its way past D&D and Pathfinder. Right now anything with the Company name and backing would be better than the radio silence we have now. The thing that frustrates me the most is that I myself who gains nothing from this, seems to be the only one who gives a damn. If the guys who own the brand are so tired of shoving that boulder up the hill than just find a someone to buy it from you like WotC/Hasbro did with D&D.

Granted, by its very definition a free downloadable starter for Champions won’t make anybody any money now. But unless Hero Games starts bringing in new people really soon to want to play the games and buy the products then nobody’s going to be buying anything...ever. I’m just glad someone is at least considering the problem. Thanks.

Don’t sweat it. Like I said,I didn’t really need these to tell the story that played out in my head. I just wanted to put them down to prove I had them in my back pocket.

Isn’t it funny, nobody ever takes advantage of the air bombardment feature of the Pegasus. A horse flop coming at your head at 32 ft./per second squared could knock a man off his feet.

Exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve been railing for a while now for for the head honchos to come up with a downloadable free starter version of the game like other companies have done for themselves to bring new players/customers in the door. You just happened to hit a hot button topic for me. Sorry if I went overboard on you.

Hero’s biggest plus and minus is its complexity. You can use it to do any genre in the world, but if you want to get the absolute most from your character, you’ve better have gotten an A in Algebra. If however, you keep things simple, dump hit locations, ban Variable Power Pools etc. Just make it “roll three dice, did you hit?” “Roll your damage!” You can bring your players along slowly to the more esoteric number crunches later. Whatever version of the rules you end up using make sure the game is more about having fun than puzzling out math problems. Or else why do it.

Well, it’s always better when you’re not alone.🤗

Don’t you also have Intercourse? Have fun with that answer.🥴

I enjoyed him as Judge Moore, the C.I.A. chief in the Jack Ryan movies. His voice brings Gravitas to anything he does. He is also a talented comedian when he plays off the usual expectations when he plays himself on sitcoms like Will & Grace and Big Bang Theory. May the Force stay strong with him for many years to come.
