BEHOLD!!! THE AWESOME MIGHT OF...

Mini D!
 
from Death Tribble. A tribute to Hermit's zany imagination and I quote the mighty Hermit:
 
Dr Destroyer speaks,"As you can see, my genetic make up is...difficult to duplicate exactly. Still, one of my duplicates matches my intellect even if physically he has come up a bit ..short."
The tiny helmeted figure hops up onto the chair and glares malevolently in his three foot five inch armor.
The Doctor continues, "I call him... Mini-D.""

Re: The cranky thread
 
Grrrr... Perky people should be trapped in low paying airline jobs as punishment for depressing we cranky people by comparison.
 
I mean, who keeps giving these people coffee anyways?? They don't need it

This is the thread for when you're feeling unreasonable, cranky, and/or just plain snarly.
By posting here, you automatically concede that you're crankiness has made your arguements questionable at best, and that anyone snapping at you is cranky as well so don't get really offended.
 
Don't post on this thread if you're in a good mood,happy, or (god help us) chipper...
 
Chipper is what we do to wood, it has no place on the cranky thread
 
This is the place to B*tch, moan, and complain about how lousy the little things in life are in petulant fashion.
 
Enjoy... only, don't enjoy too much, that'll go against the feel of things.
 
and that'll make me cranky

Q: So, how goes your research into the opposite sex for your new book "Female, like Me"?
 
A: And thus it was that the Veroshadi came to possess the mighty Shanobath, and with it in their tendriled fingers, the walls of Dr'kmore fell.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
 
AT&T is allowed to go local again. A friend signed up for the deal, rates were better... or so she thought. Turns out, she asked the guy "Is that 28.95 per line?" She was told it wasn't per line. The salesman either lied, or didn't know the details. She just found out it's per line, and now has to cancel this in three days or get shafted.
 
Thought I'd just post this as part musing, part warning to others.

Damn I'm good
 
I was just adding stuff to the Plot Seeds thread in the Champions forum, and admiring some of my handi work, old and new, and I thought to myself, "Self, you're good." and I had to agree. Now, I'm not one to brag (at least when people get a shot at rebuttle I'm not) but it's been awhile since I've had a real good smug vibe of arrogance going, and I'm not going to let this go to waste.
 
So...without further ado...
 
Damn, I'm good.
Seeds of genius even.
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold.
Who's Bad?
Hermit. Sho'Nuff.
 
Word.
 
We now return me to my regularly scheduled humility.
 

Gigaton
 
This overlap more than I'd like but... here are some seeds for Dr. Destroyer's right hand man
 
Gigaton
1) Never Leave a Man Behind: After studying Gigaton all this time, Dr. Destroyer feels confident he can take the remaining coma victims of Project Sunburst and awaken them. Soon he'll have an entire squadron of atomic powered beings. He chooses to send Gigaton to break into the area they are held, and retrive them. Inside of Tom Colt's subconcious is concern for these men. He wants to help them, but he doesn't want to see them reduced to fodder. For the first time in a long time, Gigaton is suffering a crisis of loyality. Given his total dedication to Destroyer, he'll end up carrying out this mission, unless the PCs can stop him, and sense this chance to sway him.
 
2) Thin Line: Gigaton is about in his secret identity, when he spots the woman who was once his fiance. She sees him as well, and begs him to stay with her. He has a duty to the Doctor first and foremost, yet her presence sends out messages at odds with his brainwashing. He flees her, and over the next few nights tries to resolve what to do about her before finally deciding she must die, she's causing him to fail the Doctor. The PCs will recieve a phone call from this woman later, "He's after me, help..." and find that one of the most powerful and reclusive of Dr. Destroyer's servants is out to kill what seems to be a perfectly ordinary woman. Why she's not dead already is a mystery, for Gigaton seems suddenly incompetent when it comes to the coup de grace. Could it be some part of him within resists this? And what will the Doctor think of this?
 
3) Mentonian Canidate: Dr. Destroyer has methods to protect his own mind from Menton's attacks, but his Lackey is not so guarded. Menton has a proposal for the PCs. He reccomends they help him distract Gigaton in battle. During this, Menton claims he'll undo Dr. Destroyer's brainwashing. What Menton really wants to do is turn Gigaton into a time bomb ready to betray the Doctor when he appears weakest, but it will be up to the PCs to prevent their rescue from turning into a double dupe. It's entirely possible that Menton will free Gigaton, but not have time to do the rest. Used by Destroyer as a pawn, betrayed by the Military, and having lost years of his life, Gigaton maybe come an independent threat to society out of sheer bitterness.

Re: from little plot seeds, mighty games do grow: Share you ideas!
 

 
Okay, it's been awhile, and I confess I lost a bit of interest when it drifted away from the 5E Universe (Nothing personal, just that's the one I use) but I'll take a stab. Oh, and Foxx had a Cheshire Cat one above, nice.
 
 
Cheshire Cat
1) Curiosity Woke the Dragon: Cheshire Cat loves his teleportation powers, but he's prouder still of his martial prowess. After all, he worked hard for them.There's little he likes more than proving his superiority over other martial artists in masks. Imagine his surprise when as he gets ready to challenge one (Green Dragon makes a good canidate) he hears of some Tournament of the Dragon and ultimate fight? Deciding he's GOT to get in on this, he seeks out and finds the a location said to lead to this 'dragon'. It's sealed, and seemingly impregnable as "the time is not yet right". Pshaw, that's no barrier to a teleporter. Cheshire Cat, at the height of one of his confident moodswings decides just to teleport in. Seeing what awaits him, he quickly gets the heck out of there... but the Dragon follows. The time is indeed, "not right" and the Death Dragon is loose before the Fates decreed. The PCs must find a way to trick the Dragon back to the temple, a way that may require the same cat who foolishly let it out in the first place!
 
2) Can't Buy Me Love: A variation on the second plot seed of pg. 85 in CKC, Cheshire Cat's Ex discovers that her former husband recently scored and scored big. Her mercenary little heart decides to seduce him so she can share the wealth, and none of the risk. She attempts to convince the PCs that she is sincere in her love, and needs their help to 'rehabilitate' him. Should they fall for it, she'll either arrange for his capture (after learning from him where his loot is kept), or betray the heroes to live the high life while letting Robert do the dirty work. She might even wean him away from GRAB. Naturally, the ladies of GRAB are more likely to see her for the gold digger she is but besmitten Robert is deaf to their hints. Can the PCs figure out the ruse? And what happens when/if Cheshire discovers his heart is being played with? He's got a code vs killing, but his revenge might be terrible nonetheless.
 
3) Reactor S.O.S. Cheshire Cat used to be a Nuclear Reactor tech. They really haven't changed that much, and his identity is public. When a group of Terrorists realize that his blend of knowledge and powers mean he can infiltrate any reactor in America and sabatoge it for them, they decide to enlist his aid. Knowing he's 'squeemish', they get some leverage. Perhaps his ex wife, perhaps a fellow GRAB member, and hold her hostage. Now Cat is trapped, he won't kill.. especially on that grand a scale, yet he has to save the hostage while under the terrorists' watchful eyes. If they spot him trying to contact the heroes, they'll surely kill the hostage and run. Cat hits on a plan, in the days before the terrorist act will be required, he goes on a crime spree that's bigger than he's ever been on... leaving hints and clues all the way. Can the PCs put the pieces together and help Robert out, or will he be forced to risk a loved one rather than kill millions?
