  1. Q: Why is the school condoning rpgs in all their classes? A: Phasers are set for tickle.
  2. The way I worked things was if one had innate powers that were not intrinsic to the creature (bird's flight, fish's waterbreathing) then they will register as a mutant. It will not matter if the mutation occurs from birth or is induced by something later. In this case, Cyke, Cap America, Ben Grim will all register the same despite the difference in how they obtained their powers and operate. Since each of these characters had their DNA modified, mutant detectors will not be able to tell the difference in how they obtained their power. An alien character will not register on the detectors, so someone like Superman would be able blend in, have DNA samples taken, and no one will be able to call them out on those grounds.
  3. I have always disliked those "magic wand" detectors, like I described in the original post. Instead, I used a method similar to what Dean described where someone needs to obtain a DNA sample for a lab test. The suspect can refuse to give the sample, there is no way to generally scan a room, along with more problems. The rationale used was that mutants possess a marker in their genes, but to detect it one needed to obtain that sample and pull it out to find. No remote detection system can locate them.
  4. A staple in most supers games (especially those with mutants) will be something that will allow another person to identify the mutant regardless of their disguise. They will always work perfectly, identify the mutant no matter what problems are presented, how many people around, disguise used, or other issues. Even more, when there are multiple mutants in the area, the detectors will be able to say the exact number and location of each. For some (eg Nightcrawler), they are obvious mutants, but most will look the same as mainstream human. How have you dealt with the issue of these detectors? What principle do they work from? How have the mutants attempted to counter them? Anything else that you would like to comment about them would be appreciated.
  5. Q: What are the troops - wolverines? A: The verdict is in - Earth is given the death sentence.
  6. Q: What is the most quarky thing about Chuck Nice? A: All their cash is made of water.
  7. Purpose of government: serve the people. Trump's government: people serve Trump (you're all fired!!!!!! 👹👹👹🥳🥳🥳)
  8. This goes for anyone attempting assistance - medical, s&r, grief, counseling, etc.
  9. Add to this list would be that automatic doors would not open. Not a problem for older style that was pressure plate, but newer style that works by camera will not detect anything for the door to open. Additional problems occur when there's a breezeway at the entrance that can capture the character.
  10. Since it has been so long since anyone has made a post here, let's start a new topic - Earth has been declared uninhabitable. Name some real planet that we need to be transported to, how many needs to get there, and how we can reach that planet.
  11. Q: Why did you invite Catherine the Great to your party? A: That was actually hydrogen dunce oxide.
  12. Players like having characters that possess great power. However, the greater power one has means that they need more powerful opponents. It quickly gets to the point where normal people are unable to properly deal with those characters. What happens when criminals gain abilities, technology, or something else that is more than normal law enforcement can deal with? Most established groups like Avengers, JLA, etc deal mostly with more powerful threats and government agencies are ment to deal with characters at that level. This leaves the street level characters with little to no backup that is properly qualified. How is this addressed in your campaign, if at all?
  13. The issue of Reagan's mental state did come up during his Presidency. However, any time there was a challenge, he was open about it. Then after leaving the Presidency, he came clean and let everyone know his true mental condition and became a leader for mental treatment around the U.S. This lasted until he was no longer able to perform any action just before he passed away.
  14. I don't think they operate on a cruelty principle. Rather its more of a "me only " principle where everything must come from me and have me at the center. Everything else will be destroyed.
  15. Q: Why did the Judge convict you for a lifetime of never being around women? A: That city has been hit with fundium dioxide.
  16. Q: What are you worried about in this supply depot? A: That Dalek has diarrhea.
  17. Q: What is the core principle for Two-Face? A: Halitosis Man meets Methane Woman.
  18. Official Trump Water - straight from Three Mile Island (radiation included).
  19. This applies to Trump and everything he does.
  20. Q: Why did this thing just explode? A: We just followed the sine.
  21. Shows how outrageous prices are. Batman did not pay that much for everything in batcave.
  22. You can add to this growing list of beach killers - salt. As there is more life (especially human), the need for salt will grow. Unfortunately, the beach is the easiest place to obtain this scarce resource. To make things worse, humanity has a POOR history when it comes to how we obtain anything that we desire. If the environment is destroyed in the process, who cares? We can always get more. Reality proves otherwise, but when has humanity paid attention?
  23. Q: How does the Human Cannonball manage to get the energy to launch? A: You transformed that wine into vacuum.
