  1. Re: [Review] CU: News Of The World (+ Long Argument On MPA's & Frameworks) Repped this for changing the name of the thread... I love you man.
  2. Re: What would your Master Villain do? The problem I see with this is how long it takes the UN to make a decision... you might want to lengthen the interval beyond 15 minutes or you're going to be ruling a Tidal-waved, EMPd, smallpox-ridden, nulcear wasteland even if the UN would have said "yes" the first time you asked.
  3. Is there a better place to post stuff that's going to be a derail no matter what the existing topic is? I.E. this thing: LMAO. what a great thing to find at 6:30 in the morning. Mook 1: "It's Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics! Get him!" Mook 2: "I have this sonic pistol that Professor Sinister left for us to use if any heros showed up, I'll take him out!" Mook 1: "Wait, it could be a trick! How can we be sure he takes double damage from sonics?" Mook 2: "Well his name is..." Mook1: "Bah, that's obviously a ruse, who would advertise something like that if it were actually true?" Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics: "Your feeble weapons are no match for my..." Mook 3: "What are you guys doing?" Mook 1: "I'm just trying to explain to Mister "I always have to be right" here that nobody would name themself after the best way to kill them!" Mook 2: "And all I'm trying to say is it's at least worth shooting him once or twice and see what happens. What if it's a double bluff and he actually does take double damage from sonics?" Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics: "I have come to rescue the physicists from the evil clutches of..." Mook 1: "Every time you get some new experimental weapon from Professor Sinister all you want to do is shoot everything that moves! You're just looking for and excuse!" Mook 3: "Actually he has a point there, Phil. Remember when youe were sent home for three weeks without mook pay because you used the Titanium Hypervelocity Needler to nail that door shut?" Mook 2: "You always bring that up! What about the time you captured that kid "The Paper Boy?" He was the actual paper boy! You were parading him around the secret evil base for like 45 minutes before someone had the heart to tell you!" Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics: "So I'll just head inside then? I shouldn't need more than a few minutes and I'll..." Mook 3: "He was not a real paperboy! That kid was at least 17 years old! Who ever heard of a 17-year-old paperboy? He was obviously either a hero or a sidekick in disguise!" Mook 1: "So your brilliant idea for dealing with this threat was to take the so-called "undercover hero" into the base and walk him around?" Mook 3: "I was just trying to take him to the holding area so I could..." Mook 2: "Wait, stop trying to change the subject! All I want to know is whether Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics takes double damage from sonics or not, and I think the best way to work that out is if we shhot him with this sonic pistol." Mook 3: "I don't know, it does seem like a pretty obvious ruse, I mean It's not like Superman called himself "Terrified of Kryptoniote Man", and Batman didn't call himself "Person Who is Largely Helpless Without his Gadgets Man"... and with good reason! I mean, what superhero would just give something away like that?" Mook 1: "That's all I'm saying! I mean, if I had super powers, I can think of a lot of things I'd do differently, but I certainly wouldn't change my name to instructions on how to kill me." Mook 2: "Haven't you guys ever heard of the scientific method? All we have to do to put this entire arguement to rest is shhot him with this pistol. Look, I have it right here. It's easy to aim, the trigger works, hell, I even have an instruction manual in my pocket here if you two don't feel up to the task." Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics: (With freed scientists in tow) "Thanks guys, it's time for us to go." Mook 3: "You read one copy of Scientific American in the coffee room and all of a sudden you're lecturing us on the scientific method?" Mook 1: "Pft, all he did was look at the pictures. If you had any real science skills you wouldn't have been turned down when you applied for the secret evil laboratory guard position last month." Mook 2: "That was such B.S. I swear, all the hiring around here is just a big popularity contest I'm going to talk to the union rep...." Tune in next week when our hero, Captain Takes Double Damage from Sonics tries to explain his name to the guy at the gas station while gassing up the Takes Double Damage from SonicsCycle!!! I was happy with it, but a "Fantastically stupid stuff" thread/area might reduce derails... Any thoughts?
  4. Re: Steve's Chat Tonight (Thursday, May 10) My car get 853600 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I like it!
  5. Re: Force Field LImitation Question I have a character that takes 2X STUN from Plotdevicium... at least while everyone in the group is sitting there speechless because of some bizzarre development, I'm doin it in character.
  6. Re: Drain variable stat power Decent assumption, I suppose... but he didn't specify.
  7. Re: Drain variable stat power I think what we're missing in this power build question is what the sfx/justification of this power concept. With vs. Magnetics, yes, but if the drain were viral or something you could arguably hit any characteristic you wanted to. (Or justify the power build anyhow).
  8. Re: OIF: Items of Opportunity Alright, I'm used to being in the company of people who can find humor in being literally shot at, and those are the sort of people I find enjoy humor of this kind. So admittedly I should have considered my target audience before posting that. I see where you're coming from regarding the pertinence and humor of my statement, and I agree you have a point. It was a joke that would only be funny to a few twisted folks like me, and while there was a sequitur, it was easy to miss. (I still think it was funny, however.)
  9. Re: Drain variable stat power To me, random should be at least a -1/4, since the power is eventually going to randomly Drain a stat that has little measurable effect on the target (Ego Drain when noone has an Ego attack to capitalize on the new, "softened" target, etc.) You also can't pick an attrubite that is probably a weak point for a specific target and Drain that, so no INT drain against SuperBrick or STR drain against EgoLad to hopefully incapacitate them. If the attacker (Professor I Cast Random Drains at Bad Guys) dosen't know which attribute has been drained other than through observing the effects, I'd say it's worth a bigger penalty. (If you Drain 3D6 STR from UltraBrick, you may not even notice the difference. In this case, you can't adjust your tactics to capitalize on his reduced ability)
  10. Re: Stephen Hawking working on Supers/SciFi campaign... I wish I could find a group of players that was free to play 2-3 times a week... I'd totally GM this.
  11. Re: Worst. Hero. Ever. If I were going to write up Jesus, the Nuclear Whale to pit him against anyone, it's be Captain Takes Double Damage From Sonics.
  12. Re: Seeking build suggestions for "Always on" missile deflection I think the duplicate is a neat idea as well, and the one benefiet of this build method is nobody can gripe about you getting "free" attacks with missile reflection... the basic thing I'm still having an issue with is what would be a trigger for the missile reflection ability that's palatable.
  13. Re: OIF: Items of Opportunity Words to live by.
