That post may have sounded like “poor pitiful me” but I’m alive when experts thought I’d be well into my next reincarnation by now. John Wayne only had one lung, and just like my hero the Duke I’m gonna tell Death to F-off until I’m good and ready. If all else fails I’m gonna grow gills and breathe like a fish. This is only about how much these tests suck and how someday I’ll have my swift and righteous revenge on those who conspire against me. Mine enemies should start quaking in their boots and wetting themselves now and avoid the rush.

While today isn’t too bad, tomorrow is going to suck rocks. I have to go in for my bi-annual lung capacity tests. This is where a sadist in a smock walks me around an indoor track monitoring my blood oxygen levels until I want to pass out. Then they take you into a room with a little booth and a face mask and see how you do at different levels of air. The last one showed me at at only 48% lung capacity and it’s expected this one will show it’s even lower now. Does anyone want to start a pool to guess the new number? I may have to make plans to return to my home world. This one bites.

There’s nothing wrong with the original trilogy. Star Wars, Empire & Jedi. All the others just got worse and worse.

It’s not exactly a business (Let’s not hear the dissenting opinions.) but a Temple or Church of some sort is generally a part of small town life. You’re also missing some sort of Healer or Doctor’s office.

You have to enjoy some of these on a different level. Santa Claus & the Martians has a 10 year old Pia Zadora as one of the little Martian children. The Conqueror has one of the best bloopers of all time when John Wayne is caught on film wearing his wristwatch. And Ed Wood’s films have to be seen to be truly believed. The Johnny Depp movie only touches the surface.

I don’t know if I agree with that. I believe that the hero is made more 3-dimensional by having other characters to bounce off of. What would Spider-Man be without Aunt May or J. Jonah Jameson? How about Batman without Alfred or Jim Gordon? Both those characters have huge casts of backround characters. The Fantastic Four have Alicia Masters and Wyatt Wingfoot to name but a few. Even a loner like The Punisher is made more interesting by having Microchip and others, as in the arc that brought us Joan the Mouse, Slacker Dave and Mr. Bumpo. Without characters like these to spice things up the story becomes bland gruel indeed.

“Concubine Chicken”? I don’t think I want an emotional relationship with my dinner. There are many jokes to be made about one’s date being “edible” but they’re all a little crude for this site.

It’s “Shield Surfer” that makes it art.

“We will never stop fighting!” “When we run out of Molotov Cocktails, we throw the bad luck cat at them!”

Is that robe decorated in the same way as in the movie “Manos: The Hand of Fate”?

I just steal ‘em. Do you need an editor for a big city newspaper? There’s the history’s for Perry White and J.J.J. on their comic company’s websites. Not realistic enough? Look up Ben Bradley on Wikipedia, he was the editor of the Washington Post during Watergate. Do you need a soldier or a cop? Comics, movies, TV and history are full of them. I like to use obscure stuff and go whole hog. I saw a bad movie that starred Tommy Lee Jones as the Commander of a squadron of Apache helicopters. (Fire Birds) Soon after my Star Wars campaign had a new Commander for its B-wing squadron. Check out the episode of Big Bang Theory where Wolowitz is the DM for their D&D game. The actor is a very good mimic and breaks out celebrity voices for all the NPC’s. You don’t have to go that far, but I find that casting a real person in the role gives me an immediate grasp of what they sound, look and behave like. Good luck.

It’s a nice setup but you may end up finding the “every 90 days” part too constricting for long term “chase around the world” adventures. Possibly renewing twice a year on the Solstice and Equinox or once a year on the anniversary may be easier to work around. Just an idea. Good luck on the game.

Si muchacho! La Cinco Hermanos Toros! Come now, Hermanos! We must fight La Matador Diablo!🧛‍♂️ (A little obscure, let me know if you get it.)

If it was they’d all be wearing masks.

Right now she’s busy on the main stage.

Lady, I don’t care how healthy you feed him....that is one UGLY baby.

That’s strange, because if you add Crystal and Champagne you get the list of dancers at the local “Gentlemen’s Club”.

This sounds like the power that the X-Men villain Blob has. If that helps anybody think the problem through.

“Writers fiat” it’s also sometimes called “Holding the stupid ball”. That’s the trope where a giant ball of stupidity seems to pass from one character to another like in the game Wonder Ball. From character to character because without them acting in a clueless or out of character manner the whole plot falls apart. 🎼The Wonder Ball goes round and round-To pass it quickly, you are bound-If you’re the one who holds it last-The game for you has quickly passed-And...You...Are...Out!🎶

Welcome to Champions.

That only means he wouldn’t be hit. It doesn’t make the two guards fire into each other.

To me this requires that both the henchmen in question be dumb enough to turn and fire blindly into each other. What may be easier is if NC ‘ports next to or behind one henchman, grabs control of the weapon and shoots the other one.

Yeah...but he gave BOTH of something. And I’d rather have given the life.😫

I don’t think it looks like this anymore.🇺🇦
