Re: Special Report: The End of Superheroes! I really like this thread. It is very interesting to see what happens next.

Re: First Character of My Creation.. What do You All think of It?? I wonder if the OP is still even playing...

Re: First Character of My Creation.. What do You All think of It?? Talk about thread necromancy

Re: 43 Questions: A Character Developement Tool I added Rep...though since I have so little it seems I don't know if it did anything . But I love these and collect them. One day I'll probably make a project of a master question list.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team! WASP: is a White Angelo-Saxon protsetant who is psychic vampire who feeds off stroing emotion of hate and fear. He plays the race card...the religion card...even the sex card at times to make his victims hate him which in turn makes him stronger. He often in a very elitist manner puts down everybody around him.

Re: Special Effects I like the ideas...though my GM probably won't go with the Multi-Form as a lair thing. But the Aquaman multipower thing definitly gives me some ideas. Though I would probably still have the telepath poer.

Re: Hey, Balabanto has a Website! I'll be paying attention. Looks good.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Somebody must have posted while I was writing that.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER So what have people been talking about that it has lasted this long? I mean we are looking at 1337 pages and 20050...well now 20051 posts.

Re: A Modern League of Extroardinary Gentlemen The one character I would want to see from the Buffyverse on a eam like this is Drusillia.

Re: The best Superpet? I was going to respond to bigbywolfe but you pretty much said what I would have said.

Re: The best Superpet? Well I have a character that has a fire-breathing, flying, pony size wolf from another dimension.(And it is still a puppy so it is not pony size yet. But I sorta doubt that would fit your needs. The character also has a pet junk yard dog in secret ID due to crit success on a mind control power and the poor dog crit failing the ego roll to break free...the GM just said "Congrats you have a dog now...". She has yet to use her mystical powers to give it super powers...probably will not to that though as it is her pet in secret ID. She loves animals...so I see her picking up a lot of strange pets though. A mad scientist on another team has a geneticaly engineered pink cat that as a completely mallable skeleton(or no skeleton at all) and human level intelligence...though not the ability to communicate...or chooses not to...it is still a cat after all. Which might be more suited to your needs.

Re: Why doesn't 6e use hexes as a unit of measurement? "Bzzt. Wrong." What are you three? I said with movement skill levels. I did the math it is not the same. Apply with movement skills level to it...it did change.

Re: Why doesn't 6e use hexes as a unit of measurement? Sure there is...as that what was used in the past. I have been playing the game since the end of 4th. 2m=1hex is how I think of Hero. Sure it is not really that big of a deal to me as I can do the math very easy in my head...others can't. Others will have issues with it. Since in the end it does not really matter all that much...one way or the other. If this is just a non-issue why the change at all? I mean does it matter what scale is used...why change it? Was it broken before? Did people get upset that they could not visualize 2 meters...but can somehow visualize 1 meter? Also....it does screw with turn modes and the effect movement skill levels have on them....characters are much less manuverable in the 1hex=1meter scale then previously. Which seems to be a issue that alot of 6th ed was just cut and paste from 5th ed. Anyway my view on this is you are right it is a non-issue...but it was just a non-issue before why the change?

Re: Why doesn't 6e use hexes as a unit of measurement? I agree and disagree. If you don't use battle mats yes you are right it is sooo much better to just call it a meter, but if you do...and you don't have the world's largest battle map or the world largest table...or even just a good size one combat gets clunky...or you have to do the math conersation of 1 hex equals 2m. Not to mention that turn modes still use hexes in facing. So yes I do find this new way of doing it to be slighter friendly to non-battlemap users...and a little bit less friendly to people who do. And really if you can visualize 1 meter...can you not do the same with 2 meters? Personaly I did not see a need for this adjustment. But it is a minor point.

Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread Very nice work. You said you take commisions?

Re: Would you play a game with pre-generated characters? If it is just the mechanics...sure...or a rough background...sure. If the game is a one shot or mini campaign to get a feel for the system or world no problem. My GM ran a game where the players drew character out of hat...with pretty much a background, but the PC got to decide about personalty and the like...it was just more of who the character's parents were, where they grew up, and the certain events. It was a very interesting idea and would have liked to have play...but was not invited to it. Anyway I do perfer to make my own characters but I can live with pre gens if the campaign and characters are interesting.

Re: A Thought Experiment: The Buffest Heroes vs Dr Destroyer Um...if he is so smart why didn't he get out of there? I mean he has a free action to pretty much stop everyone in their tracks so he would basicaly have two action to get out of there. Surely he can come up with a escape plan to flee a combat going badly for him.

Re: Just an observation Very observant of you...point? Also there is a difference in a complaining about somebody without giving names to get other people opinions(which knowing Balabanto the way I do he does alot if he is having problems with somebody) and pulicly calling out the person. I am sorry but I find that incredibly rude to the point where I joined and had to comment on it. I guess just call me old school but I wouldn't do that to a friend. Edit: When I typed this I didn't notice your cowardly hidden accusation. To that I got to say I really don't care what you think. This has proven to me that your opinion means little.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Agreed...hey I was there in person I was commenting more on Mephron's post. They is a old saying," Never wash your dirty laundry in public" .

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Wow that was particularly nasty. Having been in the same game I know exactly what happened and in part Balabanto is correct we made a clossal error. True you were led astray by the actions of a grandstanding PC. But this is not the place to have this disscussion.
