There may be a source for this already in print but my search fu has failed. How do you build "Quicksand?" Or can you point me to the resource that has it designed? Please and thank you.

I'm having the same problems. This new forum format has left me feeling non-plus. I've almost stopped using it.

Re: Are Thanos and Darkseid the Same Person? Have you ever seen Black Adam and Namor at the same time? Nice widow's peaks and pointy ears, though. I know, I know... winged ankles are a give away.

Re: Everyman VPPs How does this apply to NPCs and Villains? Do they get access to the un-purchased power stunt that may foil the PCs? How do you handle the PC that complains, "The GM is just pulling stuff out of the air because that characters never been able to do that before."?

Re: Total Drama Metahumans This sounds like it could be fun. What kind of events do the PCs get involved in and how do you resolve these contests? Examples would be useful, especially for the final challenge (how an overall winner is determined).

I was flipping thru my copy of Enemies II when I came across The Monster. I've never used him, but my campaign is heading for a horror slant. I then looked him up in Classic Enemies and CKC. Anyway, I'm curious about the use of The Monster in others' campaigns. Did you ever divulge his origin? His true origin? What were they? Did you have to alter his characteristics or powers? If so, how? Also, the CKC version looks really good, but I have a question regarding his fear-like aura noted in the text. The only mechanical corresponding effect is noted as a disadvantage: distinctive feature. I can see how this fear aura would make him creepy, but how is it a disadvantage to him? I doubt he's concerned about getting cooperation or affection from others. Lastly, and I'm sure I'm missing something here, his fifth edition Damage Shield applies to mental powers that "touch" his mind. Sense most mental powers like telepathy are essentially a sense usable at range, how does a damage shield effect the attacker? If a PC shoots an Energy Blast at a NPC with a standard damage shield, he doesn't get hurt; if the PC were to strike the NPC, he would. I can see how this would work if the PC telepath had to touch him... If this is a solid build, how can I build such a damage shield that acts automatically when someone gazes at a medusa-like being? Thanks for the assist in advance, Quislet

Hello all, I rarely post on this board because so many topics are well covered and I have little to add. In some ways I'm new, and in others not. I am looking for a list of all characters associated, no matter how minor, with the infamous Chinese criminal mastermind, Dr. Lirby Koo. So far my list contains the Geodesics, Green Dragon, and Brick. Most of the available references come from 1st to 3rd editions. I'd also like to know where to find them. Thank you all in advance.

Re: Lariat, Lasso, or Noose Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the responses.

Hello all, I've been looking for game mechanics for a lariat. I can't seem to locate a fifth edition write-up for one. Fourth edition Western Hero states that a Lariat allows for a grab at up to 15", and that it can be used as a garrote. Is that it? What about the ropes BOD & DEF? Ropes are hard to break but easily cut, so the DEF may have two stats (or a Vulnerability to cutting). I appreciate any thoughts you'd wanna share. Q:)

Hello all, I was looking through the forum for information on the world of Athas and the Hero System. Can anyone point me to the right resource, please? I appreciate any help you can supply. Thanks in advance.
