  1. Do her powers work normally in a vacuum and underwater? Seems like she might have the Distinctive Feature of being unusually attractive. Psychological Limitation: Needs a boyfriend in her life (Very Common; Strong) 2d6 Unluck (only out of combat)
  2. Marvel's Doctor Doom tends to kidnap specialists, force them to work for him, dispose of them when he no longer needs them, then claim all the credit for the research and the resulting inventions. I think a lot of Champions master villains could take a page out of his book.
  3. Guy: "So how much for a halberd, a sword, two hammers, and a musket?" Smith: "A lot." Guy: "...How much for just one weapon?"
  4. Phantom Girl - Kat looks the part but walking through walks and escaping entangles might be a little OP for Legends. Infectious Lass - spontaneous accidental generation of alien diseases (like the gender swap disease) could be funny but a SFX budget nightmare. The Question (Renee Montoya)
  5. I think the lady in the photo is trying to figure out how she's going finish bedazzling the cat.

  7. 2020 Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg Announces Bold Plan For 2,500-Mile Intercontinental Riverwalk Touting the benefits in tourism and business revenue that such a project had already brought to his hometown, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, IN mayor Pete Buttigieg announced Thursday a bold plan for a 2,500-mile intercontinental riverwalk. “At a time when Americans are more divided than ever, what this country needs is a riverwalk that will provide people from all strata of society with continuous strolling, dining, and festival opportunities,” said Buttigieg, gesturing to a watercolor architectural rendering of the Intercontinental Riverwalk that he described as his “core campaign plank,” which would revitalize the country’s heartlands by attracting sorely needed coffee shops, clothing boutiques, and artisanal cocktail bars in riverside locations stretching from coast to coast.
  8. Report Reveals Jesus Christ May Have Benefited From Father’s Influential Position To Gain High-Powered Role As Lord And Savior "Examining evidence from the Gospels, as well as recently unearthed ancient Christian and Gnostic texts, researchers at Yale Divinity School concluded that Christ’s close familial relationship to the Creator of Heaven and Earth likely contributed to His meteoric rise from obscure carpenter to high-level divinity"
  9. Those dirty rings. You try scrubbing them out. And soaking them out. But you still have "ring around the planet".
  10. Dave Frankenship as Daisy Fresh started his superhero life as a product spokesperson in a series of popular commercials in which he defeated fictional bad-smelling villains primarily by using gadgets which squirted fabric softener at them. The real villain Piledriver, who surprisingly doesn't watch much TV, mistook him for a real superhero who was battling real villains when one of the commercials was filming. Daisy Fresh ended up defeating Piledriver by desperately shooting fabric softener into his eyes then dropping a camera crane onto his head. The company was pleased by the publicity from Daisy Fresh's battle and upgraded Dave's gadgets and costume so that he could function as a low-level super. Mostly Daisy Fresh does commercials and public appearances. But whenever a pushover villain strikes, Daisy Fresh just might be the superhero who shows up to save the day!
  11. I didn't remember that. The scenario from Blackmoor was the first game of any kind I tried to GM.
  12. Let us know if you ever find a way to let the rest of us cross over into that universe.
  13. How the Little Ice Age Changed History - and may have given rise to the modern world. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/01/how-the-little-ice-age-changed-history "The Little Ice Age is an example of how we so often find complete consensus around every aspect of climate change. Just kidding."
  14. I don't know how many times I've said to myself, "You know, what this country really needs is a president who is a talented musician." j/k The education and languages are impressive though.
  15. I can't get that cartoon to enlarge enough to see what's written on the Klansman's robes. From a distance it looks like the cartoon contains only a Klansman holding a noose.
  16. I could become Rabid Batman, the Batman Who Laughs! And Foams at the Mouth!
  17. This link puts it as AD&D 2nd edition when it was put in as an optional rule because it was a popular house rule. I remember playing with critical hits a long time before that but I no longer have any of my books and don't remember if the rule came from them or if it was something our original DM brought over from his previous group. When he showed up he already had the original Chainmail, the original 1974 wood-grain D&D boxed set with the three pamphlets and charts, the "Gods, Demigods, and Heroes" pamphlet supplement from 1976, and the 1st edition AD&D Monster Manual and the Player's Handbook (which Wikipedia says came out in 1977 and 1978 respectively). I went with him to the store to buy the Dungeon Master's Guide when it came out in 1979. https://songoftheblade.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/a-short-history-of-critical-hits-in-dd/ It's cool when you can randomly hit harder on occasion than be bad guys and comes in handy if your group is often facing off against outnumbered foes. But when the foes in the campaign consistently outnumber you, critical hits suck. They suck so hard.
  18. I want to be bitten by a radioactive Kangaroo Rat!
  19. "Despite its impact, the fungus hasn't attracted the same attention as wildlife diseases such as white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that infects bats." I was glad the article brought this up. Before you can enter a tourist cave that has bats, at least in the US in recent years, you have to lightly scrub the soles of your shoes on an anti-fungal mat to help scrape off whatever contaminants you've picked up and keep from taking contaminants inside the cave with you. I would think that requiring people to do that with the soles of their shoes before getting on an airplane or ship would be better than the "nothing" which is currently happening to help prevent the spread of funguses and diseases. Wipe your feet, wash your hands, and do a 360 degree turn through a strong blast of wind to dislodge pollens and spores from your clothing while you're being exposed to a strong UV light. If that seems a little extreme, consider that I'd rather everyone have to take a shower at the airport and that all the clothes travelers are bringing with them be washed at the airport and you'll see that a little hand washing seems almost not nutty in comparison.
  20. For the name of a super-soap, how about "One Life to Give"?
  21. The Opportunity rover was the one that died. To be fair, the Opportunity lasted 14 years longer than it was supposed to. But finally dying because of a thin layer of dust was a rough way to go.
  22. Like when people from Texas tell Yankees that Texas is hellish....
  23. For three-quarters of the teams in the league, the question is always pitching.
