  1. GROSS!!!! DISGUSTING FILTH!!!! What kind of subhuman fool puts ketchup on a hot dog!!!! This is humor, please don’t write me to defend your sins. (tongue placed firmly in cheek)
  2. Once you decide on what version of our beloved system you want to work with, and what platform you’ll be using in our time of social distance then you get yourself a big butterfly net and a big stick and hunt up some players. These are non trivial problems, especially these days. After all that you need to start deciding what genre both you want to run and have in your head for the foreseeable future but also one that fires up the imagination of the group. The negotiations may not be fun but they are vital. I’ve seen perfectly good games crash and burn because either GM’s or players felt forced into doing something that was supposed to be fun. Try coming up with a few different styles of game that you will enjoy (Golden Age wacky, Dark Champions, Hard SF Future, whatever) then present them to your potential team and see what they say. Even if they turn them all down you’ll get a better sense of what they do want. Remember, it’s almost impossible to get this many people to all enthusiastically agree on what to have for lunch. So don’t be discouraged if this process takes a while, it WILL be worth it all in the long run. After you’ve got the genre, the power level, the set up and level of seriousness worked out then you get the joys of going one on one with these choosy buggers to come up with characters. (Keep that big stick handy.) The alternate choice is to hand out pre written characters. An option that has gone very well for other GM’s but I never had much luck with it on either side of the screen. When all of that work and aggravation is done you retreat to your fortress of solitude and begin to spin the tales of amazing adventure that you will present to your waiting and eager audience. Best of luck, you’ll need it, but it WILL all be worth it.
  3. I always connect that Australian martial artist thing with Gibson in the first Lethal Weapon.
  4. Kind of different, but I’ve got Big Jake on the TV for backround sound. John Wayne, Richard Boone, Maureen O’Hara. “I thought you were dead.” “Not Hardly.”
  5. The original version of Seeker might make a good choice for that role. He was always very well connected and had a good temperament what with that whole seeking seeking the ultimate question/ the “glow” thing. Put Mel Gibson in a wheelchair for a character reference your players can latch onto immediately and you’re good to go.
  6. AOL just reported that Trump’s personal valet just tested positive for the virus. That means he’s got it, ‘cause if I had to work for him I’d spit in his coffee every morning. Wouldn’t you?
  7. Also the style of villain himself will be a major factor. Dr. Doom is by his write-up one of the most powerful bad guys in comics, but his character flaws are usually what gives the FF the opportunity to defeat him. On the other hand, the Joker is relatively low powered but deadly. (depending on the writer)
  8. Mine wasn’t as awful as I’d heard. The prep was unpleasant but I just stocked up on TP, baby wipes, magazines and a Tom Clancy novel. Those things are the size of a brick. The procedure itself was like being at a college party. Somebody I didn’t know gave me a pill to swallow. I felt sleepy and while I was out cold I was violated and filmed.
  9. Co-Starring Bruce Lee. Do you think Gordon Liu was supposed to play Egg Shen, Lo Pan or maybe both?
  10. John Carpenter originally set the movie in the old west. San Francisco 1880’s. Jack Burton drove a wagon load of supplies while boring the hell out of a shotgun rider who never spoke, the meeting of the girl was at the docks instead of the airport as she got of the boat from China etc. When the studio said they wouldn’t go for a western he re-did all for the modern day. Brilliant!
  11. The season of Agents of SHIELD where they spent time in an virtual reality where Hydra took over might be good reference material.
  12. Sorry to digress for a moment, but with that hair style that’s how the Dwayne Johnson’s going to look if they let him star in the Doc Savage movie.
  13. Wow...I would have thought it was fairly clear from my previous post (‘ya know, the one you quoted) that I no longer care to argue this about this subject. In other words, go find somebody who goes a @#$&.
  14. Cherry flavored Clorox! Now I can’t get the image of Trump wearing the Jim Jones caftan, sitting in that big wicker chair saying “Come my children, Drink the Kool-Aid!” Before it’s too late!” Are you old enough to remember that Jonestown mini-series that starred Powers Booth?
  15. Now if only there were a cure for “dirt sucking stupid”.
  16. The original post referenced the pic of a bottle of chewable Clorox bleach. “Now in fruit flavors for kids!”
  17. Not if they drink bleach and die. Then we just need one guy with a flame thrower to tidy up.
  18. Great! Stupid people are finally killing themselves off and thus making future generations a little bit smarter. Usually they do things like drive drunk or fail to vaccinate their litters of kids, killing off stupid and smart randomly.
  19. I’m surprised nobody has brought back the “Flowbee” for sale as a way to keep hair trimmed while in quarantine. If nobody sees you, who cares if you look like an idiot?
  20. This has got C.L.O.W.N. Written all over it. It would make more sense for people to keep going back if say one out of five times a random amount of cash came out. As low as two dollars, as high as a thousand. This way it becomes more of a social experiment. “What are people willing to put up with for money?”
  21. The Legion of Super-Heroes had “Long Live the Legion!” Often less of a rally to battle as a defiant shout when they are about to be wiped out by overwhelming odds.
  22. While they are actually are setting in motion the wheels of destruction to their enslavers. Get the Dwarves and Elves to engage in a war that will weaken both empires to the point that they can rise up and free themselves. That might be a nice long term plot thread for the players to discover.
  23. I do not dare, because since I didn’t start the thread, it’s not my circus and not my monkey. If you think Transformers is primarily a comic book, make yourself happy. To anybody else, I’m going to put up the Tarzan yell. He’s been in comic books...once in a while And so what if nobody else in the jungle ever did it. If nobody else wants to read a simple question in straightforward English why the h311 should I be the bouncer at the door? It never ceases to astound me the way people on the internet ,when they are asked to list things that are either A, B, or C, insist on arguing that every other letter of the alphabet should count also.
