Re: Any interest in a Zodiac villain group? I liked the original Taurus in ZC, but man, how many different Geminis did 4th edition CU have again?!

Re: R.I.P. Steve Gerber Damn...

Re: Order of the Stick Right, I'm predicting Roy might get desperate enough to possess either Belkar or Mr. Scruffy.

Re: Opinions: A 'Hero' Stealing Their Gear.....???? Well, it sounds like the OP wants to tie in Celtic legends into her background, so mythology is covered here. That being said, what's the difference in playing an alien in a superheroic game then?

Re: Disturbing Character premises... Speaking of gender-benders...I actually ran in a BESM game a character who was inspired by the aliens in "Left Hand of Darkness" and would shift genders in a 3 month cycle. Sadly, the game died before the rest of the party found out...

Re: Thou Shalt Not Speak Its Name Now there's an origin for a sidekick to turn villainous against the PCs later on down the line...

Re: What to do about long, mysterious absences? It doesn't even need to be angst...it could be something happy. Maybe sister has found romance with someone or has an educational or professional opportunity out-of-state/overseas that has her "stretching the wings" for independence and that could cause a little conflict.

Re: Opinions: A 'Hero' Stealing Their Gear.....???? Heck, there's the whole concept of the Wild Hunt and the Unseelie Court as well. Another possible villain could be Arawn, Celtic god of the Underworld (used in the Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander). The following are all mentioned in Brian Froud & Alan Lee's "Faeries" book in having some sort of malicious bent. Hags (British Isles) Jack-in-Irons (Yorkshire) Leanan-Sidhe (Isle of Man, Ireland blood-sucking vampire who is also the muse of poets. "Those inspired by her live brilliant, though short, lives.") Aughisky (Ireland water-horse related to the Kelpie of Scotland. "If the Aughisky is ridden inland, the rider is quite safe, but the slightest smell or sight of sea water will spell death to the rider...") Nuckelavee (Scotland, water-faerie) Jenny Greenteeth & Peg Powler (water hags)

Re: Order of the Stick And...new one is up! (*sigh*)

Re: Opinions: A 'Hero' Stealing Their Gear.....???? Well, if you're going for legends, there's always the Morrigan (Celtic warrior goddess). http://www.maryjones.us/jce/morrigan.html

Re: Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Would the AI be then able to sure play a mean pinball?

Re: Order of the Stick And that's why, even though she's a rogue, she's a worthy leader in Roy's absence.

Re: Champions Universe: The Unresolved Questions/Plots

Re: Champions Universe: The Unresolved Questions/Plots There needs to be an Infinitely Secret Civil Crisis of Champions to sort stuff out (or wreak havoc) continuity-wise. What happened with Solitaire and the Vril Society and her mom? When did Freon become a competant non-whining badass? Were the Fuzion rules just a bad dream?

Re: Champions Universe: The Unresolved Questions/Plots *snicker* See, I could see Quantum having a grand mal nutty and going totally Miss Piggy Ballistic with the sociopathic murdering "vigilante" heel turn.

Re: Opinions: A 'Hero' Stealing Their Gear.....???? Well, it might depend on who was responsible for "donating" the artifacts in the first place. It may be a case of the donor "sensing the destiny" of the hero to be and set it up for them to be...acquired. Is her secret ID a suspect in the artifacts' theft at all (if not the thief itself, then someone who passed on "insider information") ?

Re: Champions Universe: The Unresolved Questions/Plots What happened to the original Champions?

Re: Top Signs that you need to rethink your GMing. Your GM insists that it takes at least 4 hours to create a "proper character" for his hombrewed system and doesn't see what the problem is in listing "VCR Programming" as a necessary skill for a Pulp Era game.

Re: Top Signs You Need to Rethink Your Playing Style.... If another player can take a full forty-five minutes going to the store to pick up more soda and you STILL HAVEN'T MADE A DECISION on what your character will do, more than rethinking your playing style should be in order. (Sadly, I was witness to this particular debacle. And the soda-getting player wasn't necessary at all to the moron, so it wasn't a case of needing to wait for him anyways before she had to do something. Of course, the idiot in question was the GM's roommate and probable 3rd member of a menage a trois so getting rid of her would never have been an option.)

Re: Top Signs that you need to rethink your GMing. Sadly, that's par for the course in a HackMaster game...

Re: Order of the Stick Scruffy is badass...I wanna see his stats.

Re: Order of the Stick New one's up...hee!

Re: The Fatherless Five Maybe they're all Brothers from Other Mothers...

Re: The Two Funerals Yeah, I was gonna say that most of my characters might be inclined to take in anyone who had outstanding warrants, funeral or not.
