Re: Sanctuary.....Anyone Use It ? Thanks Hermit... I feel privileged.

Re: Heroes So... someone held a gun to your head and forced you to watch the entire series? If you hate it some much, why'd you watch it? And why are you watching the next season? Personally, I don't look at it as a superhero show -- I look at it as a show about people inexplicable powers and how they try to deal with them. I also think if they started putting costumes on, it would ruin it (and it would turn off the general public). This isn't one of your Silver Age games, Balabanto, this is obviously someone going for a far more... "Iron Age" feel. Yes, some times these guys act more than a little clueless, but then, they do so no more than number of other characters in other shows. About the only people who seem to be totally on top of things in any show are detectives and investigators, everyone else acts like they're written by ERB. I also think, as out-side observers, who think "game" more than "life" it's easy to make some of these decisions, but we aren't living the life these people are, are we? Anyway, as the saying goes, YMMV. I'd say I'd have to agree with Susano here. It's not like you were Alex de Large (A Clockwork Orange), and you were held against your will and forced to watch the show as some form of conditioning/reprogramming. You had the ability to say, "I'm not interested... so I won't watch", just as I did. I'm glad that so many people enjoy the show. It's just not a show that I personally enjoy. Now, The Closer (starring Kyra Sedgwick)... that's a different story. I've watched that show since the very first episode, and that is probably my favorite show on TV right now (aside from perhaps watching the Boston Red Sox or the New England Patriots broadcasts, that is).

Re: Slang from Operation Iraqi Freedom Nice linky Korvar... really helpful for a current Dark Champions game!!! You win what's behind Door #1 Hey... I've now had officially 500 posts. I'm a "full-fledged" MEMBER now!!!

Re: Resource Pool Questions Rapier makes very solid suggestions here. It's actually some great gaming and game system advice. Well stated... and "REPPED" accordingly, Rapier!!!

Re: Is this too dark for DC? I suppose it would really depend on your players. No player wants to feel that they are "helpless" in their quests for justice, and fighting "evil". Although corruption in the system is a good motivational tool to get players to act against injustices... Too much can send shockwaves through your campaign setting, and kill any game before it really gets underway.

Re: Sanctuary.....Anyone Use It ? SANCTUARY... It really sort of reminded me of one thing...

Re: Need Perjoratives! The "Let's Pretenders"? Captain "Make-believe"?

Re: Heroes I watched the pilot episode of HEROES... and that was it. I know I'm in the vast minority... but I just didn't like the pilot, so I didn't continue to watch.

Re: Dredging Obscurity for Villain Ideas How about... ANGAR THE SCREAMER?

Re: Susano's Guide to Adapting Fictional Characters to HERO I'd tend to agree with Mentor... it applies pretty much to the system as a whole, not just adaptations. All-in-all though, it's just such a good article when you put it all together.

Re: [for fun] The Blue Moon Killer vs. Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli Depends on who's writing the script, I suppose. My choice... it's the Fonz. Wait a minute... Harbinger's got... A GUN!!!

Re: Weird request And, you know what... Somehow I wasn't surprised about Zornwil producing a character sheet for "The Fonz". So Zornwil, do you have one for "Leather Tuscaderro" as well? JUST CURIOUS...
