Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Silly human. What he didn't hear is that the next number in the series is "Mine!"

Re: Best Champions Moment I'm also pretty sure I've mentioned this one before, but it's also fitting to include in this thread. I'd had the chance to play in several of Rod Currie's SuperSquad America runs at GenCon and Origins; my usual pick of characters was Silver Bow, a Batman-esque female archer. To make a long story short, Rod had the heroes facing off nightmare versions of themselves in a dream world. Silver Bow found herself facing Death Bow, whose thirst for revenge had turned her into a stone-cold killer. Death Bow taunted the heroine by claiming "there's no difference between us" and shooting an arrow. I called Silver Bow using one of her own arrows to deflect the incoming missile and rolled a 3. Rod told me that she had successfully overcome the nightmare and to describe the scene. In a burst of inspiration, I related: Silver Bow's arrow glanced off Death Bow's and continued on, cutting the string on her doppelganger's weapon. In a low growl, Silver Bow said, "We are nothing alike. Without your bow, you are nothing. While I," as she dropped her own bow, "don't need mine to take care of you." She then proceeded to go medieval all over Death Bow in hand-to-hand combat. It was such a crowning moment for me that I decided to not play her again. After that, I figured I couldn't top that scene.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I never quite understood that concept. My characters usually have a simple philosophy: if I need a weapon, I'll just kill the other guy and take his.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Oh God, that reminds me of an old SF RPG I played in, where one of the characters was a silicon-based organism with intelligence the equivalent of 5 in Hero. One of the stories told about him: "He walked into a rock garden and thought it was a cocktail party." "Yeah, but he had to leave 'cause the conversation was over his head."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Me: "A what?" GA: "A myth! Myth! MYTH!" Amazon: "Yes?" Sorry. Couldn't help it.

Re: The Spy Factory You have no need-to-know, citizen. Move along.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This one's from a teen superhero game, using M&M rules. The team's mentalist has discovered astral travel. The potential of her "possessing" other people comes up. When the boyfriend of the feline-themed martial artist is mentioned as a possible victim, the mentalist replies, OOC: "No way you're sharing spit with that Thundercat ho! Make a Will save!"

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I liked Log-Man's version better.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on which end of the gun is pointed at you." "Was that a quote? Who said that?" "ME!"

I've been probably scooped on this one, but I thought to send it out just in case. Cool little flick (about half an hour long): The League

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Just hope Dr. Un-D does, too.

Re: R-O-L-E or R-O-L-L But it's definitely entertaining to watch, or read.

Re: Paris Hilton as a super villain Sorry, can't help you there. The phrases "Paris Hilton as a supervillain" and "serious and Iron Age" just don't simultaneously compute. Good luck with that, though.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Damn you, work filter! It won't let me see the picture! I'll have to wait 'til I get home! No fair!

Re: Hammerspace

Re: Hammerspace Depends, I suppose. If it's related to a single object (the archetypical hammer) then just buy it as a OIF, with the SFX that it pops into existence only when it is used. If you're talking about having access to some dimensional pocket where you can store anything (a la bag of holding)... Dunno. I'll leave that as an exercise to the more crunchy-enabled members of the boards.

Re: Herocon 2008 Ah, thanks Mike! I'd forgotten that one. The actual exchange went like this: Monica (to Tabitha): Yeah, like I'll listen to someone whose codename was "Boom Boom." Aaron: That sounds like an act of procreation. The Captain: Hey, that's what I used for my first hero name!

Re: Tentacle Sheath It wouldn't surprise me one little bit.
