  2. No, hunh? For the record for that one I would have gone with: Atomic Angel, a superheroic android whose greaves and bracers let her fly and produce energy blasts. But let's try again:

  4. The truth is, the "stick someone in the leg with a hypo" thing isn't simple. Or likely. It's the kind of thing a GM does when they just want to remove any chance the character has of fighting back despite the lack of practicality in involved in a plan that can so easily fail if the target happens to stand in the wrong place or you just hit the subcutaneous fat rather than a blood vessel. That being the case it's reasonable to make the unavoidable sneak attack something that will work unless you're just shooting for a comedic interlude. If you are going at it from the point of view of the characters trying to carry out the abduction on Clark Kent...why not just walk up to him and point a gun at him? It would even work for a reasonable value of "working". Clark Kent would let himself be kidnapped both to protect his secret identity and to find out what was going on.

  7. Let me explain. He was not guilty of manslaughter because the crime of manslaughter requires that you accidentally kill someone through reckless behaviour. Since his behaviour was deliberate, he was not guilty of manslaughter. His acquittal is because the prosecutor lowballed the charge below what the facts of the case would support.
  8. TV sleuths that well and truly SUCK
  9. Mirabile Day, "Daytripper". Oh no, must be the season of the witch, Must be the season of the witch, yeah, Must be the season of the witch. When I look, when I look Humming to herself, Mirabile walks into police headquarters, her multi-coloured hair blowing in a wind that isn't there. Once upon a time, being here would have worried her, but that was before she'd been exposed to the custom-made designer drug that could unlock her hidden potential. One cop tries to intercept her, but gets distracted by those bugs under his skin. She leaves him scratching furiously. She's here on the business of The Cause after all and Everywoman wouldn't be happy if she didn't make it to the meeting. Upstairs, fat old men are getting together after all to decide the fate of those people in the streets. They're afraid they'll be thrown down, and they're right to be afraid. So they'll call out the cops and soldiers, the guns and the tanks. A little slaughter to "restore order". Well not all of us want your "order". There are two guards on the door. One of them decides his clothes are on fire so he takes them off of course. Another starts talking to an invisible friend. Daytripper smiles and steps inside. She has some fat old men to loosen up. The cops will be back to their normal fascist selves in a few minutes. The ones who call the shots will take rather longer to come down. They'll still be chasing the imaginary butterflies tomorrow. That should give The Cause plenty of time to do it's work in this city and others.
  10. Bah. Nonsense. Jumping out of a crashing plane on a rubber raft to ride it down the mountainside was not a whit more survivable.

  12. They were afraid, walking those small town mean streets. After all, with only 740 people there, the odds were high that they'd given tickets to the new Mayor's relatives. I'm not sure how that explains the city clerk and attorney...
  13. Certain settings have relatively benevolent gods become predatory demons out of a refusal to "starve to death" when they are displaced. Of course in the Primal Order setting while primal beings get more power from being worshipped than they would otherwise have, they aren't absolutely dependent on worship either. They get Primal by the nature of what they are and very very old primal beings may increasingly find maintaining a following to be more trouble than it's worth since they have grown over millions of years to such a size that worshippers are small change to them. Some never bother in the first place, feeling self sufficient or developing alternative sources of primal power.

  15. Life after death on the other hand is the gift that can keep on giving. Also it's difficult to extract sincere worship from people against their will so it usually isn't really "forced redistribution". Of course one of the interesting options in the Primal Order is that one alternative to seeking worship is to merely take the souls of the dead and feed on them directly. This is of course considerably less pleasant for the source. It's a hell of a thing.
  16. I don't think that's a defining feature of swords and sorcery. It's just typical of the older examples of the field. I could hardly describe a series like Sanctuary as high fantasy but it had plenty of spellcasters.
  17. Tapeworms who say, healed your wounds, would be awesome. Actually such an entity is the source of Forza's power from the most recent Image game thread in Champions
  18. Forza: Portugal's foremost superhero, her powers are granted to her by an alien symbiont which grants her a protective and strength-enhancing forcefield, and can fire force-blasts and propel her into the air. When she wishes to fly, her shoulder vanes provide her with forcefield "wings" that she uses to steer. (Also she can see in all directions thanks to her symbiont's eyes). The White Widow: After her husband was killed by a villainous corporation, Bianca Ragno, a cybernetic engineer vowed vengeance on them and began to attack their facilities and executives with robotic spiders that ranged from the tiny and poisonous to the gigantic and heavily armed. Her powers are inventive genius and a horde of robotic minions controlled via the "legs" mounted on her costume that serve as radio antennae. As a last resort the "eyes" on her outfit are actually grenades. Since there was no winner, anyone can post the next pic.

  20. Yes, the earlier version was this:
  21. OK, unless someone steps up, on Sunday, I post my ideas for the pic and throw it open.
