Re: Can you post character builds on these forums? After Dan did away with the "Two men enter. One man leaves" rule, it took all the fun out of it. I mean, I hardly ever scream "THUNDERDOME" when I sit down at the keyboard anymore.

Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster Besides, our British friends are too classy for that and Canada is America's hat

Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster Now, now. There is a big difference between the War of 1812 and sacking a city just for fun. The first one was serious business. The second was comedy gold. Seriously, he ransomed a city.

Re: Human bird wings We are discussing future science here. Throw in some extrapolation of quantum levitation to "lock" the pilot and the wings might allow for "swimming" in the air.

Re: Heroes to Villains A villain is a matter of perspective. Very few villains get up in the morning and decide that "today I will be evil." That tends to make for a shallow villain. When I need a quick villain, I find a couple of morality quirks and motivations, load up HeroDesigner, load the prefabs for "Champions Powers" (a must have) and settle on a theme. Plug in the powers and bam -- I'm done. After you get a pile of these you'll see patterns of thought forming and scenarios and connections will coalesce. Zen game mastering is your friend.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos My girlfriend was watching "Lie to me" and Ricky Jay was a guest star. So I shared these two videos of the master of the throwing card.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Well... there is still some left in the wrapper. BRB.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I left work early today and stopped at a local "fast-food" Greek restaurant that took up residence in an old KFC. I've driven past the place many times and always wanted to stop. Amazing. This is easily the best gyro I have ever eaten. Everything fresh and all the employees were singing along with the radio. I'm going back and getting their stuffed grape leaves next.
