Re: Name That Band Hero! If I'm right it's only because I recognize ONE song. Is it the Yeah Yeah Yeah's?

Re: Name That Band Hero!

Re: Name That Band Hero! I had no clue. I remember a few songs called Alchemy, and Joe Satriani did "Flying in a Blue Dream" which might have been Blue Dreamer, but nothing stuck.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? The cacophany of protestors. (No, that's not a band) Guess the scheduled student walkout here in Orange County over the illegal imigration act has begun. I'm on the 9th floor and I can hear the people hooting and the car horns.

Re: Help, Rune Mystic I can understand trying to make Rune spells something more than a simple special effect for your energy blast, or what have ya. I'm just not sure I have an answer. To me, Runes seem to be something that denote a target. Painted or drawn on, they make the object or person the target of supernatural energy. As compared to glyphs, which would seem to themselves hold the energy. But for Champions purposes they'd seem to be almost interchangeable. I always figured Rune mages were more the guys you came to for long term help ("Please cure my friend", "Help me destroy this supposedly indestructible sword"). If you stylize it to make the effects more immediate (by removing the extra time limitations) basically you'd be drawing sigils in the air or making such figures appear on the subject, marking him as your intended target. So it's sort of gestures and gestures and extra time versus just gestures. But it's not really an area I've ever tried for a champions-style mage. I've used the classics (Necromancy, Sorcery, Naming incantations, Vodoo) because they're generally more immediate.

Re: Name That Band Hero! Also quite easy... Slayer! Nasty Habit - Ex-Nun assassin/martial artist Gray Matter - Classic Levitating Brain mentalist Skin - His regeneration is out of control, giving him mad stretching skills Weird Science- Team leader and mad genius

Re: Name That Band Hero! Those are from Radiohead. This one is definitely too easy... Damage Inc. Battery - Brick whose STR increases the more he harms people Leper Messiah - Group leader, heals his team mates by damaging others Creeping Death - A shapeshifter who forms from the shadow of his foe Fixxxer - Vodoo practicioner specializing in vodoo dolls

Re: Help, Rune Mystic For the obvious reason that I'm sure Hero Games would like to sell more books, I can't give any specifics, but here's the list of rune spells in the book (all of which naturally involve drawing a rune on an object or person): Offensive: Shattering, The Dead, Mastery, Blood's Power, Lightning Calling, Victory, Ruin, Strength, Truth, Madness, Weapon Enhancement. Defensive: Protection, Protection from Fire, Stealth Movement: Switft Running Sensory: Owl's Eye, Protection from Poison, Rune Reading, Awareness Miscellaneous: Golden Tongue, Luck, Swift Healing, Fever Breaking

Re: Help, Rune Mystic Fantasy Hero Grimoire II page 93 is the start of the Rune Magic section, if that helps any.

Re: Name That Band Hero! Blues Traveler. I'd think one up, but it looks like there are at least two others on the table already.

Re: The Most Annoying Thing in the World It's pretty forgettable. In fact, I'd seen it previously and didn't remember it until I clicked the link again. Somehow I'm sure I won't remember it next time it comes up.

Re: Day jobs for characters... Wow. That's some serious thread necromancy.

Re: WE HAVE A WINNER! First quasi-Manual, Demi-Annual, Homegrown Mod Contest! Excellent choices. Well deserved

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Metallica playing Hole in the Sky and Iron Man at the Rock & Roll hall of fame induction ceremony for Black Sabbath.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I think lemming is right. Reasons I've gotten a free alteration have been because they inserted santa hats and wanted people to get all christmasy, and because a new issue came out that had major additions to costuming.

Re: Name That Band Hero! Only recognized 2 of 4, but I think it's The Police. (A twisted irony there, a group of criminals made up of police songs). King of Pain or Demolition Man would have been good, but might have made it too obvious THE DARK SIDE... Brain Damage - Brutal Mentalist Crazy Diamond - Dense, Strong brick who can bend light Dogs of War - A pack of dogs transformed into men by vile sorcery, equipped with rifles army gear Thin Ice - Cold blaster

Re: Name That Band Hero! Patience - Wild West-style Gun Moll Sybil War - Female warrior who splits into many duplicates Sweet Child - Mind controlling kid who makes you like him no matter what he does to you. November Rain - Weather Controller

Re: Name That Band Hero! OH, um.... the Runaways! OR is it Joan Jett? I think Fake Friends is Joan Jett... (Be right back with something)

Re: Name That Band Hero! (Yup, Stone Temple Pilots)

Re: Name That Band Hero! This is definitley tougher unless yer a fan... Meatplow - Brick Lounge Fly - Aerial Assassin and part time Singer Big Bang Baby - Infant with explosive touch Bi-Polar Bear - Manic Depressive Furry brick

Re: Name That Band Hero! Led Zepplin (Sound like Pulp Villains to me!)

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Gold Lion by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I have no idea what the lyrics mean. None at all.

Re: Name That Band Hero! So while we're waiting.... Blackhole Sun - (optionally Son) Gravity controller Mind Riot - Mentalist able to induce rage Superunknown - Mentalist, able to toy with memories Rusty Cage - Either an entangler or Luke Cage's little brother.
