Another reason to watch it: Lilo's sister is HOT! Um, I mean, the character design is beautiful. Yeah. Shut up, you.

She also asked if we needed a giant magnifying glass to torture the ant with.

These are all very well done! I like Jude and Destructmaster the best. Great names! I like Informer's concept and story, but the name had primarily negative connotations. Whistleblowers tell on big institutions, informers tell on the little guy to the authorities. Of course there's no white Canadian Reggae song called Whistleblower, so what do I know.

It is Bratpack you're thinking of. It was done by Rick Vietch and caused a bit of controversy when it came out as some didn't see it for the parody of goldenage sidekickery that it was. Sidekickery. I like the sound of that. Sidekickery Sidekickery Sidekickery. Sorry.

Tonight we we playing and were interupted by an ant that wandered onto the table. I scooped it up with an empty Chessex dice cube and we were staring at it when my fiance came in and said: "Aren't you guys geeking out enough? Now you have an ant farm?"

If your time was exceptionaly valuable, you wouldn't be here. Hero Games wastes my time every Sunday. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

What baffles me is why it matters how a tied result happened. If you cared enough to vote and then discuss your vote in an online forum, you're gonna buy the damn thing anyway. Does it matter which piece of paper full of numbers "won"? To accuse people of being company stooges just because they enjoy the product is silly. I don't get why anyone would be on this board if you didn't think the products were worth buying. If you don't see the value in a supplement and other gamers enjoy it, perhaps it's a matter of taste and not a far reaching international conspiracy. I don't buy every Hero release, and I wouldn't even if I didn't have rent and car payments to waste my gaming money on. You're not being hoodwinked into buying something you don't want. You want it! Shut up and buy it or shut up and don't buy it.

From last night's game: "You're not evil. You're vulgar and stupid, but you're not evil." "This is a good Hot Pocket." "Yeah. They're even better if you don't put your butt on them." "You'll give me the file for $5000? Are they're any copies?" "I have a disc in a safe place. You'll get the disc when I get the money." "Where's the disc?" "In my pocket." "You're new to this, aren't you?"

Re: Re: Re: Breaking Personality Stereotypes for the Archetypes If and when my PCs retrieve the head, I'll have to decide if there was any reprogramming done. Just how mean should I be to my players?

You have to go with CuCullain. In some stories he shape-shifted into a beastial form durring his bezerker deal. Could be a multiform or OIHID. By the way, he was called CuCullen (Hound of Cullen) because he once killed the watchdogs of Cullen while he was a guest. To make amends, he acted as Cullen's hound every night until the dead dog's puppies were grown enough to stand gaurd. He is also refered to as the Hound of Ulster. And in case you haven't heard, all the Irish and their diaspora have placed a ban on evil leprechauns in fiction and RPG. You've been warned. Ma Galor.

Re: Breaking Personality Stereotypes for the Archetypes I once played a 15yr old crusty anarcho-punk who happened to be the re-incarnation of the last praticioner of a lost style of Kung Fu. He had great kung fu but didn't know how. Of course his grandfather (DNPC) knew but no one ever listened to him. The supreme mystic in my campaign is The Finn, a super-intellegent android who was told to scan a large occult library. He has since spent 60 years studing the occult and redesigning himself. Currently the world is in danger because someone hit his tower with an EMP and made off with his head (aslo the world's most complete occult database). Previously mentioned creator of Finn was an armored hero/ gadgeteer who was a low-level employee of a big tech company. As he delivered the mail to each department, he saw how their individual projects could be combined into what became his digitally stored super armor. He tended to build stuff first, then figure out if it was a good idea. Oh, and the suggestion of a homosexual brick... I met this gay couple on the last train out of Grand Central one night who were HUGE! They must have met at the steroid shop or someplace. Somehow I doubt they have many problems with homophobes.

I think I got a Vibratte at Starbucks once. Oh, and I am definatly stealing this character. Nice Job.

If you're still looking for a western flavored group, and since the Hong Kong Cavaliers is taken, you can't go wrong with The Regulators. Sounds official, has a range war vigilante feel, not too "Boy Howdy and the Dangedy Dangs" too be taken seriously. For the Feds, I like non-anagrams. A name like Section 17 is far more intimidating than finding a cool word (STRIKE) and shoe-horning in an awkward name to fit the letters (Strategic Team for Regulating Italian Killer Extranormals).

I am working on a speedster villain for my game who had the working name Goldrush. Spooky. Oh, and I agree that you should use the Multipower instead of the VPP. Hell, I should just steal this here guy and save me the time of making my bad guy.

Yes. Yes you are.

Tsui Hark was the director. Now, would a strait rka melt stone or do you think we'd need to build a major transform? The wet dude invisability thing seems like a greatly imparing phys lim. I'll try to watch it and resurect this zombie post.

Damnit! I wanted to read about Chinese vampires! I am too late!

Well, that was fun. I'm definatly going with Mad Angus McCrae for our Scotsman. I like the "Mad" part as I have a Mad Jack for an ancestor (who almost singlehandedly started the Pequot War in Colonial New England). I see Angus as a brick who likes brawling and isn't exactly evil, just hangs with the wrong crowd. I may go with Midas for #1, but Goldrush would be a good speedster name. He's more Shaft than Tupac, so the hiphop nomenclature seems odd. The blue-haired dude I see as a Bullseye-type high functioning psycopath with uberweapons skills. I think Stinkoman will fall a bit short. Cometess sounds too much like comatose and that's not very intimadating. Perhaps I should look into other languages. What's Icelandic for fire? The Manson spider I've decided not to use, as it creeps me out and I may try to sell it to a mallgoth for Jim Beam money.

Kingdom of Champions is useful for ANY game system. I loved the old Ninja Hero, I haven't compared it to the new one but I assume the good stuff is still there. 3D was very useful for my "Crosstime Caper" ripoff. I also still use Dark Champions, FH and it's companions. And Six String Samurai is the best movie ever.

I have been chopping, gluing, and repainting my Heroclix and have come up with some neat looking dudes I'd like to use as villians-for-hire or minions of my Dr Doomesque superbaddie. Problem is I usually start with a character concept, then decide what he looks like. Now I have these costumed freaks with no idea what they do. I'd like to see what you folk could come up with. As the pictures are still at the photo developer, I'll describe them: 1. Think Ving Rhames in a gold body suit with wrap-around shades. (originaly a Infinity Gauntlet Thug with the bellbottoms trimmed down and the wifebeater sanded off.) 2.Masked Bluehaired Dude holding katana and smirking. (Hypertime Riddler repainted and holding a sword) 3. Flaming Chick. (Pyro from the waist down, BoomBoom from the waist up, painted as flames) 4. Crazed Shirtless Scotsman (Hercules w/o the headgear and painted in Hunting Gordon Tartan) 5.Marilyn Manson Spider Monster. (Sheild sniper head and torso, Arcane's spider body and creepy arms. Really looks like MM from Mechanal Animals. Luckily, it doesn't sing.) If I can find a free host, I'll post the pictures. Good lokin' out, G's.

If you are running material players may have read, it is not only fair to tweelde the points around, but your responsibility. Your player seems like an idiot. You may want to change when you play and forget to tell him. When I ran a 50 person White Wolf LARP, I changed the WW mythology as I saw fit. My werewolves weren't furry ecoterrorists and my mages weren't F''ing with reality. I had constant arguments about what powers antagonists had. "But the book says" was offically declared a conversation ender. As soon as I heard it, I just walked away and ignored the player.

Mayhem, our resident mentalist, had been having difficulties with a NYPD detective who was a real hard case. After being dragged downtown for yet another bright-light-in-the-face interrogation, Mayhem mind controlled the detective to stand on his desk, drop trou, and loudly sing "I'm a sexy man!" all the way to early retirement. 18 months real time and years game time later, the detective crashed Mayhem's New Year's Eve fancy dress wedding and got his revenge... by punching out a different character who thought it would be funny to dress up as Mayhem.

I found our newest player on these here boards. We went over the campaign and his character by email and I knew he would add to the campaign. I'm running a group comprised of experienced old-schoolers and two "what dice do I roll" newbies. Post on the Players Wanted board. It'll help build strong bones and teeth.

Oh, man! I want to play in this sombitch! I'm am so envious of your players!

As long as we're dredging up the 80s, any ideas for a Misfits of Science campaign?
