I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to see this. It is from a thread in the Hero System Discussion board but I know not everyone here frequents that spot regularly. I know how it hit me, and sad as it is I would still want to know.
HM was a long time resident of these boards. He was a mainstay for many of us, always there, always supportive and friendly. I used to live in his part of the state but I never was able to meet him in person. I never knew quite what to say even earlier in this thread. But I wanted to get a chance to somehow say farewell to a guy I considered a friend even though I never got to shake his hand. When I heard about further brain surgery I pictured what he must be going through, I've seen my dad get such a procedure, but Didn't understand how truly bad it must have been for him.
Goodbye, Hyper-Man. Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with this esoteric message board. We were better for it.
Goodbye, David. I wish I could have met you.
Good bye, Hero.

Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you do when your truck, more or less,
Crashes and makes a chocolatey mess?
It's such a waste, losing cargo so sweet.
Leaving people to clean the street.
(It's like a giant candy bar.)
Oompa Loompa, doompadee dar If you drive well, then you will go far. You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do -

csyphrett reacted to Sociotard in April Superdraft: Weird West poll
Another thank you.
Okay, here's the rough of my story:
Jo took in Liz after she ran away from her father. They enjoyed living off by themselves, but were attacked by the Ben Wade gang, who rode off with Liz. Jo avoids exposing herself too much to the town, lest her secret get out. For this though, she needed help. She put together the others (including El Topo) as a posse. They track the gang to a remote Pueblo settlement, but cannot find the gang.
Sam confides in his son (Emmett) that there are signs of witchcraft in the town, and that something very wrong is going on. The others don't need his experience with the supernatural to notice there are no adults in town. They do notice a wagon train of pioneers had come somewhat recently; their wagons are still around and the white children intermingle the native.
Emmett finds Liz, being hid in the town. She's frightened, but unhurt. The other children repeat that Liz and Emmett have nothing to fear. Emmett finds their specificity disturbing. The posse, meanwhile, find Kane's journal in the wagons.
Eventually we realize that Kane did . . . terrible things to raise He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Things that required his own death. He's a ghost now, forcing the remaining children to take turns being possessed by him. He uses them to tend to the demon in the corn, hoping to learn how to take the demons power for his own.
John Brooder finds the Ben Wade Gang's remains, and manages to alert the posse that as notorious as the gang was, it was no match for the children. John is killed in the act. Liz and Emmet escape, being forced to perpetuate the cycle of teen pregnancy the demon demanded, Emmett carrying Kane's remains (to someone who can put Kane to rest permanently). The rest of the Posse dies destroying the corn.

Ulysses Umbridge is Universal Ubuntu. He is in a very narrow niche where anything that runs on a electronics can be mentally controlled by him, but anything outside of that realm is a very serious problem. His power allows him to support his friends as long as there is something around that he can control.

Bhavya Sohdi has always been confused with being a minion of VIPER or COIL due to his scaly appearance. Recruited by Byangoma, Bhavya has proven his worth as a hero of India. His power to enhance his speed by shedding his second skin has given him the name of Cobraster.

Elliot Whichers wants to live. The only way he can is to absorb energy from breaking down material with his touch. The more he absorbs, the younger he looks. He took on the role of death for the seven ages becoming known as the Rust.

...well I'm back. Now get those snot nosed hobbit brats off my favourite chair, Rosie.
Having been absent from the world of RPG for some time I'm now in the middle of somewhat of a roleplaying revival and seem to be busier than ever with it so naturally I need more excuses to eat up time that I should be better spending elsewhere, hence my reappearance here. What did I miss?

Argyle is a limited magician, putting his powers into living spells. They operate to help him get to where he needs to go, solve puzzles, and defend him. When the magic took notice of the end of the world, the servants began pointing their master down the path he needed to walk if he wanted a chance to influence the future.

La Bandera de Oro operates out of Columbia. He is known for targeting the cartels and various revolutionaries that operate in that country. His main ability appears to be creating and manipulating gold threads into wraps, an extra arm, climbing gear, etc.
