  1. Okay, the remaining two for me were Gallaxhar (lucky break for me, actually) and Green Arrow. Option: Location: Gorilla City Option: Black Panther Option Giant Gorilla Superman (from Earth 53 Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt) Rocket was casing Galaxhar's ship, when the combined duo of Poison Ivy and Wartoy took it first! Even worse, they had some idea of what they wanted: transdimensional teleporter technology. Wartoy used it to grab a city from another dimension, Gorilla city, and slam it right into Wakanda. The ship was immediately destroyed. But where were Poison Ivy and Wartoy? Rocket went to survey the fallout, and found Swamp Thing already there, drawn by the distress of the plants. Investigations were made more difficult by the confrontation between Wakanda and Gorilla City. Transdimensional assault can make such a territorial dispute. Little did Rocket and Swamp Thing know that this was Wartoy and Poison Ivy's plan all along; by throwing the two nations into immediate conflict, Poison Ivy got to create a new plant sanctuary and Wartoy got to sadistically murder people in it. Even with the extra help from Darkwing Duck, Green Arrow (and his new sidekick, Eve) will they be able to settle down the Gorillas and the Wakandans in time to stop the real threat?
  2. Sorry, the past couple nights have had one emergency or another. I'll update the roster page tonight.

  5. Russian aircraft are having a no good ver bad day Two Mi-8s, one Su-35 and one Su-34 were shot down in Bryansk region.
  6. De-mining fields with an RC tractor. (or do we call it a drone tractor?) I said earlier that if I saw anymore awesome Ukrainian tractor stories (after stealing Russian equipment and pulling light rail during a power outage) I'd make Ukrainian Tractor Guy a Dark Champions character. So here you go, Victor Tractorvich drove tanks in the Red Army just before the Soviet Union collapsed. Between that and decades on his family farm there's no equipment he can't work on. Killdozer?

  7. Yes. The list drafts need to because we have to start later.
  8. Location: Wakanda Character: Darkwing Duck "So, it's basically Bushroot and Megavolt? Not a problem for me. Lets get Dangerous!" "Saying 'like' was just a starting point my guy. I know you've fought people with powers like these before. That's why I brought you on. We have some differences to go over. and I thought Quill was bad for going in half cocked."
  9. I would like to have presidential candidates do a multiple choice scantron that exclusively covered material in their presidential briefings.

  11. US Senator Tommy Tuberville said the Biden administration is "destroying" the military by trying to root out the racists and extremists. He said, "I call them Americans." He is also known for obstructing military promotions in protest over Biden's abortion policy.
  12. As my core team is a gadgeteer and a plant man, I quite like my villains being a murderbot paired with a chlorokinetic eco-terrorist. Poison Ivy

  14. I've seen several threads on building drones in HERO (usually as an clairsentience with indirect fire, or an automaton/duplication/summon) I haven't seen any with modifications for using them skill-wise? This would be for a Dark Champions game where equipment is bought with money not points. What rules do you use for spotting drones? The drone records the coordinates of the target so someone with indirect fire (like a mortar) can hit the target. So ... do you have the mortar team roll a SS: Ballistics to target the right hex? What rules do you use for electronic warfare? Opposed Electronics rolls? because unless the drone has a bit of AI, cutting it off from its controller is a real vulnerability. I assume this requires Transport Familiarity. Now, if I use Demolitions to turn this into a loitering munition, does that mean I use a Combat Piloting roll to attack? Do I need Weaponsmith: drones to do this along with the Demolitions roll? Electronics? Inventor? What if I use the dropped-bomb method? Is drone-dropped munitions its own Weapon Familiarity? What skills does that modification require?
  15. I will take Eve from Freedom Force. I made the link to the rosters a bit bolder.

  19. I know why the GPUs are need to train the models, but I'm more interested in analog chips that could do the work of the transformer much more efficiently. A good essay from Ted Chiang: "ChatGPT is a blurry JPG of the web"
  20. Woman has ‘loud and full body orgasm’ during LA Philharmonic concert
  21. That's one of my fantasy replacements for political debates: 10 hour congressional hearings. All the rules of an under-oath hearing, panel of congresspeople chosen by the opposition. Hillary Clinton pulled it off, all potential Presidents should have to. (My others are poker night and blue book essay. Poker night is just the game, with a President table and Vice President table, bringing in third party candidates. Blue book has the candidates sitting quietly in a classroom with university blue books, answering essay questions. Halfway through they swap books and rebut. They can bring a cheat sheet, but the contents of the cheat sheet are published along with the essay responses)
  22. Lawmakers propose banning AI from singlehandedly launching nuclear weapons Palantirsays its Artificial Intelligence Platform will integrate AI into military decision making in a legal and ethical way.
