Cassandra got a reaction from Duke Bushido in How Dungeons And Dragons Somehow Became More Popular Than Ever
I'm surprised Dungeons and Dragons didn't have a revival in the 1990s when Hercules and Xena were on.

I guess that means that the nations supply of pale lonely virgins is in short supply.

Not even the return of Seven of Nine will do that. If they had focused on Ryker commanding The Titan with a few characters from Deep Space Nine and Voyager it would have kept the franchise going, especially if they skipped Enterprise and Star Trek Nemesis. What we get now it Zombie Entertainment. The mindless body of our beloved Series and Movies hungering for rating or box office only to be shot in the head by the utter indifference of the audience.

Geeks had to end up somewhere now that Star Trek and Star Wars are no longer cool.
Thank you, Discovery. Thank you Rey.

That sad part it's not a costume.

Cassandra reacted to Tjack in Theorycrafting: Why do we need both Darkness and Flash? Why not one Power for both?
If you’re a GM who likes to play out the more real world byproducts of certain powers. (Without worrying about strict point values) Flash attacks are also very noticeable at distance triggering possible Perception rolls. (I had a player use one as a distress flare once) and can have a lingering after effect on the victim such as seeing spots for a time. Darkness would do neither of these effects. For me it’s all about the special effect.
P.S. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Richard III (1995)
William Shakespeare's play about Richard III is brought into the late 1930s with Ian McKellen, Annette Benning, Robert Downey Jr., and Kristin Scott Thomas.

If wear a costume you're a superhero, if you don't you're a vigilante.

Cassandra reacted to Tjack in My history with Heroes system
Something in the title of this thread spoke to me.
My history with Champions is so bound up with my real life that one couldn’t exist without the other. Around 35 years or so ago I was a guy in my 20’s and a girl I liked said “you like comics, I play a game that’s kind of a D&D for comic books.” “Come see if you like it.” So I went. If she said “Hey, every Saturday night we cut off our own heads, wanna come along?” I would have gone. I knew a couple of the people vaguely and I did have fun. The next two decades or so just kind of flew by.
Some of that group and others that I met along the way became the best friends I’ve ever known. Others became enemies. A very few are closer to me than my own brothers. I became Godfather to the children of the “kid” I first got to know when driving him in to Boston to play after inviting him to join our group. He’s a man now of course and a Captain of Firefighters. (a REAL Hero) He met the lovely woman who would become his wife over a Champions game.
The games came and went. GM’s and players did the same. Some friends have passed away, and when we remember them we always end up saying that they’ve just gone ahead to save us the “good table” in a room with a blackboard to put up a Dex Chart.
Time and circumstance has spread us across the map although we stay in pretty constant touch. And I myself haven’t picked up a set of dice in a decade or more, but I think about those days often. Times both spent at the Game table and away, love and laughs and inside jokes we now have to clean up so we can explain them to the kids.
Thinking about the title of this thread made me want to say to those who created this sometimes silly game and may have thought this a small accomplishment in a big world....Thank You for what it’s meant to the life of just this one player.
