  1. Thanks
    archer got a reaction from Scott Ruggels in Superhero Bases   
    I think at worst a base should be treated exactly as a power a PC purchases which isn't apparently very useful. (Example: Transform skin color to Caucasian, only works on humans who are already Caucasian.) 
     
    1) It isn't the GM's job to make the base useful in any way. Instead it is the player's job to make it useful if it is going to be useful. If the player can't figure out a way to make it useful, he'll spend his points differently on the next character.
     
    2) It also definitely isn't the GM's job to treat the base as if it were a disadvantage that the PC took on his character sheet but had to pay points for instead of getting additional points for.
     
    Now if the PC took disadvantages on the base, fine, those disadvantages exist. But having a base doesn't cause disadvantages to spontaneously appear out of nowhere if the PC isn't doing anything to create a disadvantage or purchase a disadvantage.

    Fortunately as the years pass, you'll find fewer and fewer people who are ten years older than you who are dying.

    Valentine's Day is the second worst holiday for candy.* Most of it is tasteless trash. The right box of chocolates is nice, but most boxes are just the cheap stuff. Filled with toothpaste. 
     
     
     
     
     * The worst, of course, being Easter. 🤮

    A man rubbed a lamp and an elegant genie exited from the lamp.
     
    The genie said, “You have released me from my bronze prison, you may now ask me three wishes of your liking”
    The man, a clever one indeed, said, “I wish for infinite wishes.”
    The genie responded with, “I am afraid that is against the rules.”
    The man said, “I thought you could do anything, can’t you?”
    The genie let the man know that he could indeed perform that wish, but refused because it would tear society apart
    The man said, “Okay then… uhh.. gimme an umbrella,”
    The genie, a little confused now, granted his wish.
    The man then said, “Now I want you to stick it up your ass.”
    The genie shoved the umbrella up his ass and groaned in pain and said, “Okay weirdo, I completed your second wish. What else would you like?”
    The man responded with a dark tone to his voice, “Now give me infinite wishes before I make you open the umbrella.”

    Computers are cheaper in terms of points in early 1980's campaigns because they are bulky and immobile.

    Yeah, I can imagine Dregslist works out pretty well for heroes.
     
    Instead of a normal person meeting up with their mugger in the parking lot of a Dennys, the supervillain could meet up with the hero.

    "You can fly over the jungle if you like. But if you want to find treasure, you'll need to walk through the jungle."
     
    Is there treasure in the jungle? Probably not. But it does give them incentive to walk.
