Re: How Do You Build Sneezing Powder? I don't want to completely incapacitate the target, just inhibit hie ability to speak. I'm actually trying to create a subtle power that will only inhibit the target's ability to speak effectively. I've always thought that any spells that have the Incantations limitation need to have the Incantation spoken correctly for the spell to work. No mispronunciations, no sneezes, etc. The target could still run away or use items that weren't too complex. An Entangle would do the same but I don't want to disable the target's entire body.

Re: How Do You Build Sneezing Powder? What I'm looking for is to stop a spellcaster from speaking the incantation to cast his spell. So it's just speech that I want to affect. I think that the Flash vs. Speech is the best option that's been suggested so far. I don't like the Flash vs. Sight & Hearing coupled with Change Environment. It's a lot of trouble and still doesn't really do what I want the power to do.

My group is currently playing a low-magic fantasy game and I came up with the idea of using a sneezing powder (one of the characters is sort of an alchemist) that we could throw at a spellcaster to disrupt the Incantation portion of the spell if we are targeted. The only way that I've been able come up with is a Darkness vs sound with the special effect being that the target is sneezing. I would make it sticky so that the spellcaster can't simply walk out of the area of effect. Does anyone else have any better ideas? Thanks in advance for the help. Fazhoul

Re: What was you most powerful Attack vs. Supervillian??? The PC tried to get away from the plane because he knew that the explosives were due to go off. But the Nazis held him where he was so the PC was standing next to one of the planes since they started to explode. The character had a 25/25 force field that he immediately threw up. I decided that all of the mines exploded but we would deal with damage one at a time and I also was kind enough to rule that his force field stayed up during all of the explosions even though he was technically unconscious. He wound up at -5 Body and -276 Stun and the knockback buried him in the side of a cliff. I know I hand waved a lot of things but it was a fun game and it still comes up over 15 years later.

Re: Pulparize It! I remember this movie. It was "The Return of the World's Greatest Detective". IIRC it seemed almost like a pilot for a series.

Re: Boardwalk Empire I thought that the first episode was very good and it definitely made me want to see more.

Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... GOOD IDEA: Running a Fantasy Hero game based on the Arabian Nights. BAD IDEA: Running a Fantasy Hero game based on the Arabian Nights and being unfamiliar with the source material, i.e., hadn't even seen Disney's Aladdin yet.

Re: Pulp Figurines Rattrap has a pack called "Citizens of New Commerce" (New Commerce is the name of their campaign city). They also have a set called "Waterfront Characters". Pulpfigures.com has figs of ordinary people, especially under the "Gangland Justice" section of their catalog.

Re: Pulp Figurines Rattrap Productions has a pulp-themed tabletop miniatures game called .45 Adventures. They have some nice looking figs available on their website. Here are some pictures of painted minis that they have on their website. Field Marshal Kluge Major Steele I also bought a bunch of HeroClix minis a while ago that can be used (or modified to be used) in a pulp game. Among them were Gotham City Police figs (they had the 20's-30's style of uniforms), Blackhawk figs, Kobra Cultist figs and some others that I can't recall right now.

Re: 1930 Art Deco Henderson I'm not really into motorcycles but that is an incredibly beautiful piece of machinery. Just gorgeous.

Re: retro-future t-shirts Is it wrong to want all of those?

Re: Nazi Flying Saucers As far as I'm aware Iron Sky is just going to be the short film we saw on the internet. I thought that it was a teaser for an upcoming game or movie too but, as I was reading through the history and news sections, I found entries referring to it as just an example of what they could do. They were trying to get their work out there and seen. The Nazi UFO show on Discovery turned out to be pretty boring. Apparently the Nazi's are tied, in some small way to every UFO sighting in the last 70 years.

Re: Nazi Flying Saucers I recorded it last night and I'm watching it right now. I'm in Cincinnati BTW.
