  1. Re: Vehicle Character Sheets If you have Hero Designer, then you should be able to use one of the export sheets to HTML or RTF that are designed for vehicles.
  2. Re: Tru Davies They both have the same ability and just use it for different purposes. She tries to keep the person from dying while he uses his gift to keep their death on course (or take another life to keep the balance). Not quite clairsentience as both have restarted a day more than once on at least one occasion and made further changes.
  3. Re: A mathematical difficulty The information might be a year old, but anything traveling past them would be moving slower than the speed at which the information was flowing giving someone more time to prep the further out they detect the intruder coming in from.
  4. Re: Character for comic and game. Copyright issue? Trademarks require that the holder do Due Diligence to defend it or they lose it. If they sue someone for infringement and that defendant can show that they failed to go after someone else similarly infringing (and it was known to the plaintiff they were infringing), then they have to pursue the other person first before they can proceed on the lawsuit against the current person. You might find it stupid that they'd sue over this, but the law actually requires them to. Intel sued a Yoga studio for creating a logo that was Yoga Inside for infringing their trademarked slogan of Intel Inside. The suit went nowhere, but it still became a matter of court record that Intel had done its due diligence (and the Yoga studio got to soak the legal fees to defend themselves).
  5. Re: Character for comic and game. Copyright issue? Trademark is a form of IP, so in this instance you are incorrect to say that IP is not an issue. Names from history with a description can be trademarked if they are unique from the historical instance. E.g. the aforementioned Robin Hood as a anthropomorphic fox or Thor as a superhero with a specific costumed look. And don't forget to check international registries.
  6. Re: Order of the Stick You can't kill-steal in WoW.
  7. Re: A mathematical difficulty
  8. Re: A mathematical difficulty This is a very close estimate, but probably still a slight over estimate (I doubt it is off by even a fraction of an order of magnitude) of the number needed as the hubs wouldn't be creating a true sphere. Instead they would be creating a tessellated surface (the beams would travel straight from one hub to the next).
  9. Re: First extra-solar planet with CO2 Here you go, Cancer.
  10. Re: Scourges Of The Galaxy Sounds reminiscent of the Shadowrun books that were written as if they had been posted to an electronic BBS, so character comments showed up inline with the rest of the text.
  11. Re: What does a "20 Comeliness" look like to YOU? And now back to the topic at hand... I don't think there is any example of a human that really would fit with a "20" comeliness.
  12. Re: What does a "20 Comeliness" look like to YOU? You can lift a lot more than normal without pushing when you use a machine as the other muscle fibers that normally would be recruited for balance and control can now contribute to lift instead as the machine prevents the weight from swaying slightly as you lift. This is why free weights give you an overall better workout at lower weights than the machine systems.
  13. Re: Solar HERO: R.I.P. Phoenix I'd be very surprised if Phoenix awakened from the ashes come spring. Even if the panels survive intact, the rest of the probe will have been suffering through extremely cold temperatures without the benefit of heaters. From what I can gather, they are expecting CO2 Ice to destroy the electronics onboard.
  14. Re: Anyone actually playing anything? Traveler HERO loses its distribution rights in just a week or so IIRC. So, you might want to make that purchase soon.
  15. Re: Public Domain/Free Pictures Welcome to the new age of copyright law. It now has to be at least 100 years old or specifically put into the public domain to make it so (longer if the work was an individuals rather than a companies).
  16. Re: The Terminator Franchise RPG Not sure I buy the 101 having a Dex of 15... Seems a little high to me.

    Opals on Mars

    Re: Opals on Mars Yep, if there were any gold backed economies. I don't think any 1st or 2nd world nation has had its money backed by gold for quite some time.
  18. Re: THE BOOK OF DRAGONS -- What Do *You* Want To See? Just because they're scaly doesn't mean they are reptiles. As to the rest, well, the big problem is making sure their torso has the anatomy to handle flight. If they are 4-limbed with wings, then where are the muscles that drive the wings. If they are 2-limbed with wings, then the pectorals and other muscles should be the primary motive force for flight (see bird anatomy) with some secondary use if they can walk on those wing limbs while on the ground.
  19. Re: THE BOOK OF DRAGONS -- What Do *You* Want To See? Look at GURPS Dragons (3rd or 4th) and then stat out from there...
  20. Re: Scourges Of The Galaxy First I heard of it was when I walked into my FLGS and saw it on the shelf.
  21. Re: Traveller HERO: end is approaching Does the license expiring mean you can't produce any new material or does it also prevent the sale of current stock as well?
  22. Re: Order of the Stick New one is up.
  23. Re: Heroes of Might and Magic IV gallery is up! Interesting that you acknowledge this, and yet, did you get their permission for this use of their work?
  24. Re: "Mystic Dart 'only vs living beings'."
  25. Re: 'En passant' extra attack Well, then you might need to tell Simon that as I had no trouble adding 3 SPD to my 3 SPD Heroic character by going to the powers tab and putting in the ability. 30 Active, 12 Real (might be less, depends on the generosity of the GM).
