Re: Secret Of The Incas I visited TCM's website and added my suggestion to the chorus. Pretty neat I didn't even know that you could suggest things until Steve mentioned it.

Re: Streetfighter Character Thread Wow, someone besides me has a copy of those White Wolf books. I bought them a few years ago with the intent of converting them to Hero if and when I got to run a martial arts based game. It has never happened so they just gather dust. I will be interested to see your take on them.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos Lays bets on the outcome of the Bazza Amused fight. Big pointy nose verses red-eyes and lots of teeth (based on avatars). The cute ones are the deadly ones... That whole spy vs. spy thing backfires about half of the time. I'm betting on amused.

Re: PS238 Roleplaying Game I picked up a copy at my FLGS today. I will be studying it while I watch BSG tonight.

Re: Advent - dystopian urban fantasy It sounds interesting so far. I wish I had more time to think about the concepts you have presented here. I like the mix of supernatural and a bit of high tech in this manner as opposed to the Shadow Run setting which I do not like (D&D fantasy critters mixed with cyberpunk is a turnoff to me).

Re: Silver bullets, garlic grenades, and all that stuff In my Dark Champions campaign the supernatural made an appearance from time to time. We used the equipment pool rules for player character equipment. In our house rules it cost 5 equipment points to allow you to claim that your ammo with a particular weapon was silver.

Re: A "realistic" zombie outbreak How about this set-up: A new designer drug goes horribly wrong. Customers don't only overdose and die, they return as zombies who are able to spread their condition by bite.

Re: Looking for a Hardcover Copy of Pulp Hero - Help!!! If you are still looking for a hard cover copy of Pulp Hero I know for a fact that my FLGS has one. I have mentioned this thread to them and believe that they will be putting it up on eBay within a couple of days.

Re: The Door into Hell Looks sorta like the sort of thing my players would accidentally create.

Re: Looking for a Hardcover Copy of Pulp Hero - Help!!! No, it is still black & white inside.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Recently picked up the Appleseed Ex Machina DVD. Beautiful CGI job and a good story. Of course if you are an Appleseed purist you may not like the liberties that they take with the character's behavior and such. Over the weekend we watched Amazing Grace. A really good historical story about William Wilberforce and his struggle to abolish slavery in the British Empire. If you are a history buff like I am this is a must see picture.

Re: Jokes FEMALE COMPASSION... A man was sitting on a blanket at the beach. He had no arms and no legs. Three women were walking past and felt sorry for the poor man. The first woman said, 'Have you ever had a hug?' The man said, 'No,' so she gave him a hug and walked on. The second woman said, 'Have you ever had a kiss?' The man said, 'No,' so she gave him a kiss and walked on. The third woman walked over to him and whispered in his ear, 'Have you ever been f****d?' The fellow looked up in amazement and said, 'No.' She said, 'You will be when the tide comes in.'

Re: Combat Changes I remember watching several shows (on the History Channel and such) that claimed that the problem you describe was actually very common. People in heavy armor were fairly hard to kill. Often they would be beaten sensless and then an enemy would use a dagger or stillito to deliver a killing attack between the joints of the armor. This was also how knights would often be captured and ransomed rather than killed.

Re: Language Chart Very Cool. I must admit that I have thought about trying to make up a language chart from time to time but the idea always intimidated me. This one looks really sharp.

Re: Jokes A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car. The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is DEAD. The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry. A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong. "I feel terrible,"! he explains, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM." The blonde says,"Don't worry." She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents onto him. The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again and again, until he hops out of sight. The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny?" The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label. It says.. (Are you ready for this?) (Are you sure?) (You know you're gonna be sorry) (Last chance) (OK, here it is) It says, "Hair Spray: Restores life to dead hair, and adds permanent wave." Happy Easter!!!

Re: Paratwa I am guessing they mean the Paratwa Trilogy written by Christopher Hinz. I haven't read the books, just saw them on a recommended reading list.

Re: PS238 Roleplaying Game I am so looking forward to buying a copy of this.

Re: Gun and Armor Critique. I find it a little odd that the gun has an END Reserve (the Micro Power Clip) yet some of the attacks cost no END. To me it would make more sense if all the shots used some END. Or you could take a charges limitation on the Multipower reserve. I too find the Persistent Entangle a little odd. I think I like Comic's idea of making the Nano Mesh Armor as Armor instead of a FF. Technically speaking I can see no rules violations.

Re: town generator How about This One. Scroll down a little for the Town and City data.

Re: High-End Autofire In Heroic level games our group uses a house rule that grants an OCV bonus for higher rates of autofire. If the weapon has an OCV bonus the character can chose to either use that bonus or the one given below. AF 1-3 = +0 AF 4-7 = +1 AF 8-15 = +2 AF 16-31 = +3 AF 32-63 = +4 AF 64+ = +5

Re: Disadvantages of a Humvee The Dependence of Spare Parts and Maintenance is pretty much a given for any modern vehicle. I wouldn't count it as a disadvantage unless the majority of vehicles in your game don't have this requirement.

A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle. For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features. However when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump shoved up his backside.

Re: Jokes I think this one is pretty old but it's still worth a chuckle. There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo Toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms. Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stood Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She had a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watched in amazement as she cut a little piece of fabric, wrapped it around two marbles and began to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager burst into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulled himself together and approached Lena. 'I'm sorry,' he said to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...' 'Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.
