Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Including "Boom Boom". You know, Manny's homecoming date.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Rolf (Trickster) will gladly demonstrate that there is nothing wrong with Ivy.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... It was a heck of a session. "Cry Havoc and let slip the the Dogs of Teenaged Angst!"

Re: Superheroic Miniatures/Minions Kickstarter Project And it is where?

Re: Interesting article about Sexism in Geek Communities http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/sedition-wars-battle-for-alabaster Great female models and leaders in Alabaster kickstarter.

Re: Interesting article about Sexism in Geek Communities I agree with "No means no!" Unfortunately, in the broader context of society, persistence frequently wins. As long as the hitter has any chance whatsoever of gaining compliance, the hitting-on will persist. The hit-upon party said "no" 22 times, but might say "yes" on the 23rd time. It's the same mentality that keeps people playing the lotto. For my own part, whenever I enter a room with a lone woman, even one who I've known for a long time, I try not to block the rout to the door. I wonder if any notice.

Re: Superheroic Miniatures/Minions Kickstarter Project Wish I'd gotten in on this kickstarter. Sigh. I'll just have to wait for all my Alabaster miniatures.

Re: Interesting article about Sexism in Geek Communities Having a heck of a time figuring out how to phrase this. I get along well with people, as far as I can tell, but I spend most of my waking hours in a place where empty smiles and paranoia are inculcated and literally everyone lies about something (In my case, they are lies of omission meant to conceal my home-life from inmates; the omissions spread to other staff because too may of them gossip). It get to be very hard to trust that anyone's reactions are genuine and not merely polite.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Heh. In a very early campaign from many years ago. A friend of mine named Donald came up with an awesome idea for a character that was just slightly too expensive to make. Being somewhat unclear on the concept, he used STUN as a dump stat. Nobody caught the error until the first battle when he charged into combat, knocked over an agent, and then got hit with a fusillade of agent level blaster fire. He left combat, unconscious, twice as fast as he'd come in. Henceforth this became known as "The Donald trick."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Also; Goldilocks (NPC Scoundrel): "Hero" is just another word for "works for free."

Re: Question: Does TK Grab function like STR Grabs? As a GM, I'd never want to stop the action in my game to figure out he total additive lift capacity of a whole bunch of assailants and then reverse engineer that to get a mass push strength. If, however, all the pushers happen to have the same STR then you can figure it quite simply. Each 2x the number of pusher/lifters = +5 STR. So if normal guy has a STR of 8 and his buddy helps him then it's 13 STR, and if two more friends join in it gets up to 18 and so on.

Re: I like Playing Bricks! Is that wrong? That explains Melt's otherwise entirely incongruous flight power. Now with a NCM

Re: I like Playing Bricks! Is that wrong? Am I the only non-brick here? I tend to play controllers, people who mess with the battlefield and change the conditions of the fight. Nothing wrong with having favorites though.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... You forgot the one where Ivy did her Raven impression After tag-teaming an enormous rock elemental named Megalith Magni: Boooyah! Fist bump! Ivy: *flat dead stare* no.

Re: Building a Precog Telepathy defined as, "I see what you are about to do" Limited so that it can only be used to see the target's next action. Desolidification along the lines of the ultimate dodge, just defined as knowing where the bullets are not going to be. Combat levels defined as knowing what is going to happen next.

Re: Homing My house rule is that HOMING is a +1/2 advantage. Roll to hit as normal. If the homing attack misses, it tries again on the firer's next phase. (The OCV remains the same, range penalties = how many the attack missed by the first time: usually best to buy levels vs. range penalties to counter this. ) If it misses the second time it ends as usual. The number of additional attacks doubles for each additional +1/4 advantages. This attack is inherently indirect, attacking from whichever direction it missed by last time.

Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster That's why I always buy disposable enemies. No deposit, no return. They're so much cheaper than the brand names.

Re: Mental Institute name needed The Santorum Sanitarium.... Okay, I know, leave the real world out of it. But you gotta admit...

Re: Mental Institute name needed

Re: Mental Institute name needed The suffix "for the Criminally Insane" is probably pretty important. The New Hope Institute for the Criminally Insane.
