Re: How do you deal with difficult powers I'm actually not a hardass about this stuff. The mind control command doesn't have to be worded like a contract nor does the illusion have to read like stage directions from a script. Mind Control and Mental Illusions both require a consistant level of creativity to be used effectively. Truth be told, I'm probably one of the more mentalist-friendly GM's out there.

Re: How do you deal with difficult powers

Re: Character Posting Game. Howsabout an analog of a famous comics villain reimagined as a hero.

Re: Tactical Question: How would your characters deal with these villians? If things really got bad... Enigma (super-espionage type) would (regrettably) try to find the friends and loved ones of these guys, kidnap them and have his secret organization hide them somewhere that he doesn't know about, and inform the Authority-types that their DNPCs will be slowly tortured to death if they don't stand down.

Re: How do you deal with difficult powers Motion-sensors, guard dogs and soldiers filled with disinformation.

Re: Death with Dignity : An examination of the Golden Age In comics, there are a few elements that it's best not to think about too much. 1 recurring villains (Joker is the best or worst example) who rack up a huge body count over time. 2 Teenage sidekicks and their ramifications. RPGs can work around this stuff a little better, as the GM can make it work. Personally, don't mind when PCs kill as long as it's in character and their reasons are valid/justified.

Re: Him, AGAIN? Assistance with Recurring Villain You could always buy the villain a bunch of luck and say that the effect is "elaborate pre-arranged escapes and planning".

Re: I Hate Soft Targets The land mines seem a little far-fetched and, frankly, not very practical.

Re: Character Posting Game. Okay, so what're the next challenge(s) ?

Re: Him, AGAIN? Assistance with Recurring Villain Howsabout a guy with the ability to jump from body to body and has no actual material body to speak of ?

Tends to move his arms a lot and make fists while he orates in a rambling and animated fashion. Personality: Basically a thug with minimal historical and scientific knowledge that he stole from the future. Tends to talk to himself a lot as he misquotes Nietschze, Genghis Khan, etc. Max does make an effort to learn from previous mistakes and will try (in vain) to circumvent previous obstacles. Although he has worked with a few villains from the '40's, Rex tries to avoid partnerships and will usually try to manipulate other villains into killing (or at least distracting) superheroes that he considers a threat while he embarks on his main plan which usually involves conquering a specific time period of the past. Other villains usually take him seriously because of his advanced equipment and foreknowledge of the future. Wary of ego-clashes, Rex prefers foot-soldiers to other super-villains as allies and in time, will start to use robots in more of his schemes. Quote:"It was preordained that, I, Maximus Rex would wield the fist of destiny that would shatter the hourglass of time." Background: Maximus Rex (Max King) began his career in the early 40's as an assistant to Dr. Gardner, a physicist working on a temporal research project for the War Department. On the eve of a big breakthrough on a time machine, Max murdered Dr. Gardner and absconded with the time-machine. Although basically a thug, Max thought he was smarter than he actually was/is and felt that it was his destiny to rule mankind. After some quick research, Max took the machine to the far-future to stock up on advanced weapons and then immediately departed for ancient Rome, where, after some effort, he was able to conquer under his new name, Maximus Rex. However, Rex had been followed by a superhero group from the 40's, who quickly dispatched Rex's advanced troops and set history right again. Since that time Maximus Rex has tried (and failed) to conquer different time periods (including the future !) but has been thwarted again and again. Max's efforts have been so clumsy and primitive, that the time/space continuum has developed an immunity from his efforts and when Max's plans fail, he usually winds up in a worse situation than when he started. To make things worse, Max suffers from a temporal -induced psychosis that gives him feverish dreams of alternate timelines where his plans almost succeeded. Powers/Tactics: Tries to avoid direct confrontation with super beings except when he feels that he's achieved victory (or is close to it), at which point he'll gloat. If he does show up personally, it will be by ambush (usually using his knowledge of the future) with other super-allies and/or soldiers. Campaign Use: Heavily inspired by DC comics' golden-age JSA villain, Per Degaton. In fact, so heavily inspired that , for legal reasons, this character should be considered an homage, and in no way is intended as a challenge for copyright and trademark issues. [/font]

Re: Character Posting Game. Also, I'm working on the time-travel guy.

Heroic Personas: Almost all are confident and competent in their abilities and seem to be able to sum up the situation without missing a beat even though they were probably just summoned. Cheerful, yet professional. Quote:"Time For Coil-Man To Spring Into Action !" Background: While fleeing "The Limestone Men From Jupiter" , who'd been sent to invade and pacify the small town of Blue River Valley, young Billy Baxter fell into a previously undiscovered cavern and stumbled across the "Key Of Infinite Valor". Telepathically, the mysterious artifact informed Billy that on an infinite number of parallel dimensions and alternate realities, his counterparts were all powerful heroes who fought for justice and that the Key was a talisman that would enable him to randomly and temporarily transform into one of these personas for one hour. Billy spoke the mystic oath and transformed into what would be the first of Blue River Valley's many mysterious heroes, "The Golden Gargoyle. Soon after, the Limestone Men woke up to find themselves cooling their limestone heels in Sheriff Sawyer's jail and Blue River Valley would never be the same. Powers/Tactics: Billy: Will try to sneak off and find a quiet place to activate the Key (unfortunately many of Billy's friends assume this to be cowardice). Heroic Personas: Varies depending on form, but will usually charge into combat with the element of surprise and try to draw fire towards himself (themselves ?) and away from innocents.

Re: Tactical Challenge: Eurostar A couple of thoughts: - Challenge Eurostar to fight out in the open, insult them ,call em chickens, etc. to try and get them pissed off enough that they don't think clearly (kind of risky and they wouldn't go for it anyway because the GM has put too much effort into the hostage thing). - Offer to have our group take the place of the hostages (try to appeal to Fiacho's megalomania, etc) - Also very risky for obvious reasons. - Threaten to kill the European villain in custody if any of the hostages are hurt or killed (this might work because it sounds like Eurostar needs this villain for something, unfortunately it's a very iron-age style solution that might be too hard to pull off except as a bluff). - Have the PCs disguise themselves as super-villains and "attack the museum for purposes of looting it" (if Eurostar really believes these are supervillains trying to take advantage of the situation, they won't kill the hostages because there'd be no point and it'll hopefully throw Eurostar off their game).

Re: Villian Planning Session The Riddler's female henchman (henchgirl ?) was able to disguise herself as Robin and fool Batman for almost two whole episodes.

Re: Villian Planning Session Maybe the mastermind of this scheme is a megalomaniac. Also, instead of removing all the info, howsabout replacing it with disinfo and/or a virus ?

Re: Character Posting Game. Hadn't thought about that. I guess I went into detail because Captain Universe is a relatively obscure character. Howsabout this: A character like Dr. Tachyon from the Wild Cards series or Jericho from the Teen Titans.

Re: Code VS Killing Poll As a GM, my biggest problem with PCs that kill, is that it usually seems to stem from the player being in a bad mood or simply not taking the game seriously. If the killing makes sense for the character and the situation, I personally won't mind, however he/she might have to answer to the authorities and other PCs.

Re: Code VS Killing Poll Right. As somebody earlier pointed out, Supes and Bats earlier personalities were harder-edged. Both were still operating under "pulp" rules, but around 1940, both characters got cleaned up a little (In Batman's case, I think it was the addition of Robin that gave the stories a softer tone and in Superman's case, I think it might've had to do with the cartoon and/or radio show that made him more wholesome).

Re: Character Posting Game. C'mon this can't be too hard.
