Re: Must use villains *snort* In our campaign, Bulldozer just became the heir to the throne of Sealand...and all that that (diplomatic immunity) entails.

Re: What Age are we in now I said it before...Fondant age. Cuz it looks cool, but really has no substance. Oh, and it tastes like the candy circus peanuts.

Re: What Age are we in now First rule of Reboot...don't talk about Reboot.

Re: Best and worst jobs for Superheroes Ha ha...we had a game where one of the PC's did become Destroyer's shrink. That was...intense to say the least.

So most heroes have secret ID's...and a lot of heroes have day jobs. So the big question is, what are the best and worst jobs for heroes to have? I think Peter Parker has an ideal job for a superhero; any job that involves you being out in public and out from under the boss's watchful eye would probably be good. Worst job would probably be 'McDonald's drive thru operator'. Any more?

Re: New Campaign Help Ooohhh...I loved that show. But I don't considered most of the characters to be 'average' joes. You had a computer genius, an awesome pilot, a great hand-to-hand fighter, and a skilled pick-pocket (mind you, I haven't thought about the show in years). Are you thinking about going skills heavy? It might help them stick together, or unify the group if you did.

Re: Repackaging Character Disadvantages I don't think all disads fall under 'plot hook' though. A code vs killing or x2 stun from electricity is less of a plot hook than say, Watched by Dr. Destroyer.

Re: Opinions: A 'Hero' Stealing Their Gear.....???? We had a hero that did that in an old campaign...he had ancient mystical armor that he aquired from his museum. Eventually he ended up going on the run, because the country of origin sued for the armor's return, and he refused to give it back. Made for an interesting 'pops up in various cities to do good then disappears into the mists' character.

Re: What Age are we in now Fondant Age.

Re: Top Signs You Need to Rethink Your Playing Style.... When you join a 4 color group and say "I want to play the Punisher." The kindly GM says "Oh, you want a guy with guns as his means of attack?" and you say: "No, I want to play the Punisher."

Re: Do you use miniatures? This thread sent me looking through my miniatures collection. I just saw on Ebay that someone wants 200 bucks for their Watchmen box of figures. If I'd have known they might go for that, I'd have never made Nite Owl into Dr. Destroyer 15 years ago!

Re: Do you use miniatures? We use lead/pewter/plastic minis. In fact, no one gets into combat without a painted figure. Ever. We're picky that way. Then again, my dear husband draws a 'cover' for every game, so we're just crazy artsy/craftsy people like that. We were fortunate to start our collection of minis way back when, so we have multiple copies of the old Marvel/DC/original Champions figs. However, metal supers have become harder to come by as of late (the current stuff from the D20 is meh...hard to customize). I have used quite a few generic fantasy figs as well, chopping off swords, etc...especially because a naked female slave girl can very easily be turned into spandex clad super female with a coat of paint. The best thing about metal figs is this: a character leaves, or changes his costume? Drop the figure, painted in acrylic paints, into the 'dip'...dip being Pine Sol. About 24 hours later, the paint is bubbled and peeling, and with a little scrubbing, the figure is clean and ready to be painted fresh. We are slowly adding the plastic Hero Clix into the mix, but I haven't really painted any of them yet, and I'm wondering if I'll need something other than acrylic to prime them.

Re: What are "vitals" I think we've always considered the 13 area to be anything around the area of the pelvis, not necessarily just the genital region. Reminds me of this kid in our ER a few years ago who'd customized his BMX bike with some pipes on the back axle. Fell off, fell straight down and severed his femoral artery. Thankfully they life-flighted him to Metro and he didn't die. That's a shot to his 13 that he's going to remember for the rest of his life.
