Re: Do you consider Batman to be a Gadgetee or something else? A couple of the Novelizations and outright Novels have built on what The Batman IS and Does Archetype wise. He's a Thinking Martial Artist Detective that Uses Gadgets. In short, back in the old days he was what was known as an "Other" ..... ~Rex

Re: Curious about your view on the current state of CO. (Anybody still play regularly They need to start fixing some of the bugs. They're so basic.... But the Chinese Model get's in the way there as well...... ~Rex

Re: Star Hero 6E? Indeed, one of the many reasons I hated the 6e cover so much. The 5th ed Star Hero cover captured it All for me. It's Iconic, like the Terracide cover. ~Rex

Re: Star Hero 6E? I hate the cover but the book is really useful. ~Rex

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Alright, I got the money put aside for 6 copies now and interest between my end and the over seas guys may bump that to 12. When can we start shoveling money at it? ~Rex

Re: The One, True Son of Krypton Don't forget Moses. ~Rex

Re: The One, True Son of Krypton

Re: The One, True Son of Krypton Superman is just a niche though. A spot in the food chain, an Apex Predator. I look at Superman like any real Editor or World creator does in the comic industry. As part of the bigger picture that everything else is scaled against one way or another. Of course The folks that cling to the idea that Superman HAS to BE this or that one specific build, regardless of history or evolution, aren't looking at it it the same way I am. They're focused a lot smaller, their favorite tree as opposed to the forest. My Superman, following the way the industry looks at him, is the keystone in an arch. Not just a specific rock, and like that keystone, it has a job and meaning that goes beyond being a specific rock. That's been the successful view of an industry that's kept Superman, and others like him, around for closing in on a century. When you cage that idea down to the ultimate in specifics, you end up with something more like Savage Dragon, and far removed from the ideal that is Superman. ~Rex

Re: NBC Revolution Yeah I have to say, horribly Underwhelmed so far and one can throw in a good chunk of David Brin's The Postman in there as well. ~Rex....will give it a few more episodes.

Re: Year One *Nods* more then functional. That's coming from someone that's "Borrowed" many thing Thanagar. Second favorite DC Alien set up especially post Hawkworld and Carter Hall returns background fill in's..... ~Rex

Re: Year One Well 50 Light Years for Modern Krypton. Or the Other side of the Sun just before the Reboot and the very brief war with Earth, heh... I also liked the presentation of Krypton in the Novel Last Son of Krypton. Some good usable rubber game science in that one that blended a lot of comics stuff together and made it work... Even if my Aliens are Human looking I like there to be something different in the mix.... ~Rex

Re: The "parasite" or "symbiote" alien race I tend to go the build a single character route and then the critter as all the sfx with complications and limitations based on such. In my old Stargate game, it even went so far as to having additional Stats to represent which was cruising at the moment, the Host or the Critter. Could do that with a really hacked up Duplication as well..... ~Rex

Re: Year One

Re: Magic and END cost? Very true, but if you look at it from a non HERO gaming person, another Stat is more understandable to them then a Power Set up even if they do the same thing. ~Rex

Re: The Good and Bad about Marvel and DC There's always The Blue Marvel ....oh wait. Buried character..... ~Rex.....Marvel's best talent, working dark matches. Go figure.

Re: Equipment & Weapons? That to me sounds like something that could be added to an upper tier Kickstarter Donation thingie..... ~Rex... 12 gauge. .45 ACP. .308 Winchester. Don't need anything else in the world but if Need be, .458 Winchester or .460 Weatherby will annoy a Luska.

Re: Year One

Re: Since CoH is gone... Hit the shift key when the badguys are charging up. ~Rex....says it took him awhile to figure out blocking as well and is annoyed they took block practice out of the tutorial.....

Re: Magic and END cost? The magic set up in Narosia is interesting enough for me that I will most likely buy the book if it pops up at a FLGS around here. ~Rex

Re: The Good and Bad about Marvel and DC Good about Marvel: Jimmy Woo, Agents of Atlas Bad About Marvel: Burying brilliant property in the name of running with the mainstream in the hands of Bendis and the like...... Good about DC: Firing Rob Liefeld....errr...allowing him to quit. Bad About DC: Being retarded enough to hire Rob Liefeld in the first place. ~Rex ....Good about Valiant Comics: Delivering what the Fans want. Bad..... Nothing yet, but would like to be able to directly subscribe from them.

Re: Magic and END cost? All three here. Got to anyway since magic is so freakin complicated in my Fantasy setting. Really should thump the guy that wrote it up that way..... oh wait.... Anyway, all three for sure and doing so let's you bend some fairly interesting styles of magic around as well. ~Rex

Re: NBC Revolution I'm willing to give the show a shot to start mostly because of the Hot Chick running around with a LeoPro Arbalest. Also considering that it's a J.J. Abrahms show, all wigged out violations of science will be explained with Magic and it will loop back to some mumbo jumbo that was argle barrgled at us on Lost or one of his other shows..... ~Rex

Re: Equipment & Weapons? MHI likes to keep the armory Compatible for the most part Ammo wise. ~Rex... Is geared up to drop a weeks pay on the project. Now has 6 Overseas care package requests for the game as well because he already sent the novels over there a few months ago.

Re: Gsvc 2012 But if it's going to be Dr. Yin Wu.... Then I would be forced to run The Golden Koi for that event because it is the Koi's sacred Duty to prevent the abuse of Eng-rish.... ~Rex

Re: The One, True Son of Krypton Very True. Seriously though you could in the setting of Doc's, drop the Doc Savage moniker, and call him Superman and he would be Legit as Superman. That was his Niche. That type of guy. Enemies and Allies by Kevin Anderson gives a nice rendition of both Superman and Batman as set against the backdrop of the 50's that I thought would have made a great comic story much less the fun book that it was to read. There was no doubt that Superman WAS Superman. He fit the Niche of the Setting and conformed to the scale of the story as well. ~Rex
