bitter thorn

Re: Cool Guns for your Games I'm torn between a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 and a S&W .500 for Elk hunting. I'm leaning toward the Ruger. I've fired the .454 out of the Taurus and the Cassul, and I find the round to be manageable. I've owned a Super Redhawk in 44 Mag, and I loved it. OTOH the numbers on the .500 S&W sure look formidable, and it seems like a revolver of S&W's good quality from handling it. I still haven't fired a .500 yet.

Re: Cool Guns for your Games So are the flames a result of atmospheric friction or does it have some kind of rocket assist?

Re: Cool Guns for your Games Sweeet!

Re: Cool Guns for your Games I've had a Taurus M44 for about 10 years now. As expected I have put several thousand rounds through it with out any kind of malfunction. It is my hunting and camping sidearm for the most part although I do sometimes use the lighter Ruger .357. The M44 is put together quite well in my experience, and back when I got it it was around $400 new. ($396 IIRC). The only issue I can recall having with any Taurus was .45 LC casings not wanting to come out of the cylinder on a Raging Bull chambered for .454. 454 casings came OK, but the .45 LC casings really hung up badly. Aside from that I liked the Taurus firearms that I have shot and owned.

Re: Cool Guns for your Games I really like the ghost ring set up on my Mossberg M590. I find it very useful for multiple targets and low light applications.

Re: Cool Guns for your Games Now that's a sidearm!

Re: DC ruleset used for modern (non costumed) gaming? Sweet! How do you like it in comparison to other systems? How are the super skills working out in your game?

Re: DC ruleset used for modern (non costumed) gaming?

I am curious how many folks use the hero system and Dark champions in particular for modern non costume type gaming. I've played Hero system on and off since it first came out in the late 70's to early 80's, and I love the mechanics. I've done a lot of Champions, as well as some Dark Champions and Fantasy Hero. I haven't gamed in months, and my circle of gaming friends has largely had it with D&D and D20 modern. I'm considering running a modern/near future game, and I was wondering what experience other hero system fans (and DC fans in particular) had in running these kind of games? Thanks!

Re: What would the character sheet for typical MMA competitor look like? By typical MMA fighter, do you mean strictly the professionals or would you include the amateur fight circuits as well? If you're thinking strictly professionals these guys have to be very well conditioned and highly trained to be competitive at that level. It basically turns into a full time job.
