Captain Obvious

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By Are you sure he's not a zombie?

Re: "Neat" Pictures Considering the guy's a Purple Heart winner, I'd say he took a shrapnel wound. Considering he's still driving around, it probably wasn't a "kill" wound...

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I take it you just don't care anymore.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Sadly, I could totally see Lucas doing that...

Re: "Neat" Pictures I'll give you a call the next time I'm headed that way.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Feel free to start picking it up. I won't stop you.

Re: How to portray alcoholism... I'd use Dependence, just in reverse. Rather than how difficult it is to obtain, set the point value by how hard it is to for the character to resist drinking.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Ravenous in Seattle

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares I thought of that exact thing an hour or so ago... Greeeen Lantern Corps's the place to be. Law enforcement is the life for me. Space spreading out so wide and far, Keep Manhattan just give me a class G star.

Re: Creating a "campaign doc" for players in a new/original campaign setting...feedba Does the campaign have a focus? Is it going to be all Black Paladin and DEMON or will it lean more to Menton and PSI? What major deviations from the real world are there, things that affect life every single day? How does the public see supers, as saviors or menaces?

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Jar-jar and Hutch

Re: Creating a "campaign doc" for players in a new/original campaign setting...feedba I'd be sure to list all the major villains/organizations you plan to use (along with a short, short description for those unfamiliar with Champions), as well as those you absolutely will not use (just so they don't base their whole character around being hunted by them or something...obviously this one is for those who ARE familiar with Champions). This should help them build characters who are more closely tied into your planned story arc. Just keep a sharp eye out for metagamed PCs optimized to take out your main bad guy. As far as background content, I'd start with very general strokes and work into the details later. That way, if somebody is absolutely riveted by your material, he can sit on the edge of his seat all the way to the end, but the guy whose eyes glaze over before the bottom of the first page will not be totally lost. If you have to, do a brief overview of less than a page, do a somewhat more detailed summary of maybe two pages tops, and then do the full Monty as its own document.

Re: One person versus a starship? Metal takes a while to heat up. Someone wearing a steel breastplate could be hit in the chest over and over with a torch and never feel it. The converse of that is that once it does heat up, it's going to keep burning him for a while until it cools off again.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore They receive bacon. Duh.

Re: One person versus a starship? Kevlar isn't too hard to cut with a sharp edge, but the ceramic plates inside modern armor would stop a knife cold. You could probably fracture it with a heavy sword, but the kevlar would pad the ceramic somewhat. It would be an interesting experiment to try out. I would expect that even with an axe, it would take some pretty heavy punishment before failing. The main drawback being that the plates don't cover the whole area that the kevlar covers.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I'm gonna have to try this Giga Pudding. It looks like a Flanzilla, with chocolate instead of caramel on top.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Giga Pudding, I choose you!

Re: Need help for a low-level / street-level-campaign Then the other PCs get to beat him down. And I think the guy probably metagames enough to know that's what will happen, so he won't do it. Although if the GM is up to it, it could turn out pretty dang epic.

Re: Need help for a low-level / street-level-campaign Here you go...a little expansion on my earlier advice that just came to me. One organized crime group (A) knows he's not really hero material, and thinking he can be bought, goes to him and makes an offer to help them muscle in on some other group's ( turf. If you want, they can have some leverage over someone he holds dear. He can either (1) help A and make B mad at him, (2) he can try to bust A and make A mad at him, or (3) he can tell them to piss off which makes A mad, but then B knows they met without knowing the outcome, so B thinks he's helping A, and now he's stuck in the middle. Considering he's got good guy friends, he's not likely to choose 1 unless he wants to infiltrate the group.

Re: Need help for a low-level / street-level-campaign He needs a vengeance motive. Get him involved in a gang war between your two favorite organized crime groups.

Re: Order of the Stick It was a spell fizzling, but it wasn't the next to last panel. The entire vertical column on the left is the morning, and it moves through until the entire vertical column on the right, which is evening. Durkon's new spell fizzled around noon, and he got it to work by the end of the day.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares So, since you're not Batman, what do you eat after a hard night fighting crime?

Re: "Neat" Pictures I'm pretty sure Bill Keyes does that year round.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Mmm...chicken soft-serve
