Re: Storn Art from idea to Full Picture Year 5 I am still waiting to see She-Grond. Hell, I might draw that myself. Mags

Re: The Worst character in comics Oh, and I forgot to say.. Strong Guy RULES! And I thought it was especially touching when he had a heart attack... Mags

Re: The Worst character in comics My vote for worst character concept was The Blob. Even though he is a reoccuring villain instead of a hero, being fat and immovable seems, well, stupid superpowers. Mags

Re: Storn Art from idea to Full Picture Year 5 o_O "She-Grond"? Wtf? O_o

Re: Game of Thrones I love this series! I can't tell you how great it was to read a story where the characters are unique, consistantly written and yet are still able to evolve. I love that I wasn't following every single living moment of one or two main characters... the author spends time only on the interesting things that are happening- to several characters on all sides of the conflict- which left me wanting more. Great dialog. Unexpected plot twists. And the author is not afraid to alter his characters, giving the story a realistic feeling to it. Good things happen. Bad things happen more often. It keeps you on your toes. Looking forward to the next book. Mags

Re: Disturbing Character premises... Wow. I am surprised that GM didn't get banned from the con. However, in the past we have used rape (implied and off camera) on the most rare occasion to exemplify the vileness of certain villains. Not 4-color, you say? Check out The Identity Crisis if you don't think its been done. Only on one occasion do I ever recall a PC getting raped. The DM asked the Player if she were ok with it first- and it was handled off-screen- and it made for some very dramatic roleplay. The heroes went out of their way to hunt this villain down. However, I don't recommend this plot unless ~everyone~ in the RP group is mature enough to handle it... and that it doesn't become an excuse to RP detailed disgusting behavior. A lot can be said for handling certain scenes off camera... and it leaves it all to your imagination (in some cases, that can be worse). Anywho. I digress. Mags -The Digresser

Re: Characters Pictures What's his name? And please don't tell me it's 'Spiffy'! Just teasing you!' Mags

Re: Disturbing Character premises... My most disturbing PC concept was for Champions. Her name was Speedfreak- I am sure I posted her somewhere on the boards here a few years ago, or at least talked about her. Speedfreak was a speedster, obviously, and she was addicted to a drug that created her speedster-ness. Her own body created the drug in her sweat, so she wore a suit similar to the ones in Dune, that harvested her sweat and piped it through thin tubes that snaked down her nostrils and into her stomach. Yes... gross. And don't even ask how she got hooked on her own sweat in the first place. Secondly, she could give vials of her sweat to others to temporarily boost their speed. Only problem was- the taste of her sweat was extremely vile and caused sickly side-effects (to which she was personally immune)... and was, sadly, was also addicting to others after a couple doses. Yes.. still gross. Additionally, Speedfreak had hunteds who wanted to capture her and exploit her drug-making capabilities. I only played her once. The rest of the group did not like her at all. Cheers, Mags

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Reminds me of the last time we played the game. 'Twas I that made the following comment: "Damn, I never get any wood!" (Pause) "Story of my life..."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This just popped outta me during a Star Wars game. (Don't ask me why) "What's with the trombone?" 0.0 Actually, the other players were describing tactics to the GM, and I kinda wasn't listening, and was checking out Star Wars miniatures that were sitting across the table. One looked like he was holding a trombone, but it turned out to be the protective plastic covering a lightsaber figure. Anyway, the question was completely out of left field and cracked everyone up. Including me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Re: Characters Pictures I'd be happy to help out too. Just post descriptions (the more detailed the better) and I will see what I can do. I can draw a little. Cheers! Mags
