Re: Self Defeating Powers

Re: Self Defeating Powers I prefer the term "elegant." Absorption, feeds itself Detect Visible Effects, based on Sight TK, Touch Only, Limited to STR, Cannot Add to STR

Re: A Thread for Random Musings My wife recently quit her job. This week marks the start of her being a full-time homemaker (or whatever the term is these days). I've been looking forward to her taking over the duties of getting the kids ready for school in the morning. But I haven't yet wrapped my brain around the idea that I can come home and just relax with the kids until dinnertime. And she'll willingly bring me a drink and stuff. It's all so Ozzie & Harriett, I'm not sure how to react. Maybe I should buy a pipe.

Re: The thing. That would go over well with a PC, wouldn't it?

Re: You've taken over the world. Now what? What to do after taking over the world? Why, give it to your worst enemy, of course! But seriously, if aliens or someone took over the world, the next step would be colonization or enslavement or one of the usuals - which means destroying/controlling military forces, consolidating power logistically, etc. If it was a Master Villain, he'd more need to manipulate existing political structures to maintain control. Lots of turning conquered/assimilated forces against potential troublemakers, forcing surrendering governments into draconian peace treaties, etc. In the end, of course, an evil world tyrant exists to be overthrown. So, as a GM I'd develop weak points in the strategy while offering the PCs an opportunity to ally with another would-be world conquerer to throw off the shackles.

Re: The thing. The Thing didn't really transform others, but ate them and then copied them. So I wouldn't make it a Transform. I'd use some flavor of Duplicate + Multiform, maybe with IPE and/or some way to "get rid of the body" if the GM wants to be a stickler. That way its pieces can scurry away when severed, as they did in the film.

Re: Anita Blake beta writeup For a moment, I read the thread title as "Anita Bryant beta writeup."

Re: "Neat" Pictures

Re: "Neat" Pictures I did a flyby of Area 51 on Google Earth the other day. Too bad the satcam doesn't penetrate alien cloaking technology. Reminds me of when India complained because Google Maps showed photos of its secret military sites. I wonder if they ever addressed that?

Re: Link for Doctor Who fans I'm sure I could download everything off the net, too, but I come by it honestly.

Re: Link for Doctor Who fans Cool. We Yanks have only just seen the fourth episode of the Eccleston season.

Re: Inside Man It's not really a shoot-em-up kind of movie, if that helps. Plus I think women everywhere will love to hate Jodie Foster's character in particular.

Re: Inside Man Just saw it. Fun film, nicely photographed. Denzel is very good, as usual. Gotta love Spike Lee's dialogue.
