So that's Dunn? Man I haven't read an issue of NHS in a long time.

It's Rumple Skilltion. I just know it.

It might have worked if The Land itself hadn't intervened. The Landsman has only ever been someone's tool since before he was born.

True. But that involves hindsight.

When dealing with a group of amoral actual scientists, you can't rule out actions by them taken for pure research purposes, just to see what would happen. For example, Teleios created an eight-foot genetically perfect human male and released it into the wilderness with no real or programmed memories, to observe how it would develop without human contact.

And of course Teleios couldn't keep Landsman away from human contact anyways.

What can I say? I'm not surprised that Trump got the guilty verdict. I don't think he will get jail time, but that is probably due to social status than anything.

If Trump becomes president again he will become the Convicted Criminal in Chief. How would that affect his job as President? If he never gets a pardon (doubtful they wouldn't pardon hIm if he gets elected again), how would he do his nation representing duties if he can't leave the country?

Anyways, I'm not happy nor not happy about Trump getting found guilty.

Not trying to give you crap about spelling - I just wanted to say that when I saw "curcit" boards I mentally sounded it out as "curse-it" and found that immensely humorous.  "Damn it!  Why won't my computer work right?!"

Auto correct can't read minds or control how thick ones thumb is.

If you really want to emulate a comic book, it needs an issue number. It doesn't have to be #1 or anything like that, a random number would be nice.

It looks nice.

I suppose you could technically do an execution and then a Raise Dead later on after the Chelaxians leave, so the sentence was carried out. It just didn’t last long.

Reminds me of Delissious in Dungion. The place is cursed so that it is painfuly easy to raise the dead there.

Suppress Detect Mutants.

An obvious attack, at least unless you make that invisible.

Use huge robots to rob banks for precious metals to make  curcit boards and other devices for even more huge robots.

What do they do?

Scientific experiments.

What are some plans?

Getting unwilling subjects for there unwilling scientific experiments. Performing said experiments, no mater the cost.

Any ideas?

Mass abductions among the homeless population of the campaign city. Distribution of strange weapons among the criminal underworld.. New designer drugs flooding the city streets. Respectable people acting strangly, as if hit by a mind control device. (Insert plot here.)

Could be worse.  Do it to a vampire.  With Holy Water, of course...

Forget Holy. Waterboard the Vampire with something they can't cross...running water.

Hello all,

I have a few questions regarding shapeshift.

1. If my character has the Cellular and Imitation adders to Shapeshift (Any form), would he need to buy the skills Disguise and Mimic to take on the likeness of another person?

2. If my character takes on the shape of a pencil or chair, would he still have a heartbeat, or register with senses like IR. In other words, would he still have "body heat"?

Thank you!

1) Depends on the GM I believe. But a good rule of thumb is this...to pass as a generic version of something needs no Disguise or MIMic skills. To actually be that thing, you do need the skills.

2) Basiclly yes unless you buy shapeshift to affect IR vision also. Then no.

I'll try to take a look at the character soon, but I'm a bit busy (and frazzled) right now, trying to arrange hospice care for my mother. So it might be a few days.

I understand. I will probably never face this myself (except for myself), but I understand.

It would be wonderful to receive a writeup for Queen Nocturna, as I still haven't written up the Big Bad foe of my campaign's magical girl PC. Her two children/chief lieutenants Prince Balthazat Blackheart and Princess Shadira, yes; but not Nocturna herself.

 

Dean Shomshak

You can always adapt portions of my writeup for your use.

Thank you.

But I didn't want a commentary from you but from others. And I wrote her a long time ago.

And forgive me for being slightly flippant, but you and PhantomGM2602 are a bit too close to this villain to be objective. Also, I would love to hear from others on what they would do differently, how I could (assuming I was the GM) mod her for a non-magical girl style campainge, etc.

I would also like @DShomshak's opinion on the character, as he has a magical girl in his current Advent Guard campaign.

Been wondering what people think about this writeup. What do you think?

Well Deen, any updates?

     If this happened today, I do not think we survive it. Why am I so pessimistic, there are so many ways our species can end and we spend our time in petty tribalism. We chose to ignore what is happening around us daily, probably one person cannot change things but a group can. Still we keep electing or choosing idiots as our leaders. I am 70 plus, I have no children (the reasons are manifold, the primary one is that I have a genetic disorder that I am almost guaranteed to pass on, which would mean the near certainty of burying a child before they were 20) and am glad that if an imbeciole takes over, I will not have to endure him/her long. Could we solve the WITCH-COM  issue probably, would we probably not.  

I was inspired by the Vertigo series Y, The Last Man, which is a virus which kills 99.9%% of the male population (which only leaves the hero Yorick Brown and his monkey Ampersand). They solved the problem sorta by cloning Yorick. I was also inspired by the fact that it would take place in the Champions Universe and Telous exists, along with whatever genetic scientist WITCH has.

Yeah, that sounds like Dennis Mallonee's writing.

She is decently his current darling.

I had not heard of WITCH Mansterial Virus, have heard of and read Children of Men where it is the women who are infertile. If your Virus is not curable then even sperm banks will not save them for very long. In CoM a woman regains her fertility with all that that implies, in WITCH thus, the last child born from the sperm banks may live into their 90's but if they do, they will be all alone when yhey pass.

WITCH will have other ways to reproduce, like cloning. And they will make sure the next generation will be all women.

It doesn't have the "make men insane when they see me" power, but that is probably a huge PRE attack. Some characters in the story do die of fright when he appears right on the spot.

And it should be noted that the writeup lacks space flight (at least 1 light year a year. It is immortal so he can take his time flying to Earth.)

But...we can always assume THIS writeup is Cthulhu's avatar (or asleep) form and that him fully awoken would be much more powerful than this.

And don't forget his mental class is Alien (and for him we suggest you use the optimal mental classes of minds for him and his kin.

#7 is Verb, #26 Is Zero, #14 is Interplanet Janet, School House Rocky sometimes appears in the beging title sequence, if they actually include it. The Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips stuff starts on #49 and ends on #52. And that is basicly it, super character wise.

School House Rock was a series of very short edutainment cartoons starting in the mid 1970s ABC Saterday morning timeslot between the 'real' cartoons. They attempted to teach us gramer, math (mostly the multiplication table up to 12), American history (to coinsine with the bicenteneral), science, computers (the 80s 'spinoff' Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips segments [guess which one is the boy and which one is the living computer], money managment, and the goverment). When Disney bought ABC, they got ownership of SHR also.
