This week on "Will and Grace", Bert and Ernie appear as "the couple next door" causing wild speculation by Grace that they're gay and Will that they're not...hillarity ensues! Tune in to see who's "gaydar" is broken!

Re: Superhero Images
 
I still need to do the shading and highlighting, but here are the three characters from my current supers game that Im running for my roomates.
 
Revenant is the leader of the team, and kind of a batman type character (although hes also the NPC. He will be "busy" or "out of town" alot). Jade Spectre is next to him; she is the grand-daughter of Fu Manchu, and a martial artist. The other guy is Goblyn, who has been Revenant's sidekick for a while now.
 
The game is set in 1986. My roomate is also running a game set in the same campaign world, in 2006, where Goblyn has changed his identity to Requiem, kind of like how Dick Greyson went from Robin to Nightwing.
 
The characters fill the "ecological niches" of Batman, Bargirl, and Robin, but are -very- different in the details. So far its been pretty cool!

One of the local porn places was offering up something like $2 "as is" DVDs - I bought 3, 2 were fine, 1 was salvageable.

Re: Older HERO rules in 5E games
 
Animal Handler is as in 4th edition except that it is a PRE-based skill.
 
Martial Arts is a derivative of the 1st/2nd edition's advantage on STR.
 
The spirit of 4th edition minimums should be observed.
 
Inherent should generally be unnecessary/has no effect. Please advise if you see a need/requirement. (i.e., things are as they were in prior editions, more or less)
 
Mental powers by default work on any sentient mind, they do not need to be bought by class of being as in 5th edition. However, they work only to the extent that communication is possible (which is always how I have interpreted it). Selecting animals or aliens as the only class of mind affected would be a limitation.
 
Aid functions as in 4th edition.
 
Hand-to-Hand strike from 4th edition (3 points per 1d6) remains.
 
Healing continues to be constructed as 4th edition normal Aid.
 
Life Support may remain as in 4th edition but new/individual items from 5th edition may be selected. The bottom line is that 30 points may still provide complete Life Support.
 
Regeneration is alive and well as per 4th edition.
 
Shape Shift mostly functions as in 4th edition; I didn't care for the minutiae in sensing rules either in spirit or in practice. However, the 5th edition Adders are valid.
 
Damage Shield does not require an additional +1/4 advantage to do damage with HTH (notably, though, the 5th edition rules probably express the intent of 4th upon rereading that edition).
 
Penetrating attacks are affected by Damage Reduction.
 
Not sure if this was in 4th/prior? - you may voluntary reduce your SPD to 1.
 
-1/3" for ranged attacks
 
STR-based Haymakers work as in 4th edition. Non-STR-based Haymakers may be executed according to 5th edition. Again, this all-out or aimed-but-non-defensive strike is genre-correct. Like most of these 5th edition adaptations, we will of course be monitoring and I am open to discussion.

I don't recall the precise quote, but basically, "See, if the orc's tent is a typical single pole structure, when the cow hits here it should..." because we were flinging cows on the enemy...

That's right commissions. Plural.
It has been mentioned that there is something lacking for Champions in one aspect. These should help amend that discrepancy.
