  1. Re: Your favorite character type

     

    I tend to be pretty flexible' date=' but for my Energy Projectors, I try to pick special effects that lend themselves to more than just blowing stuff up. Flashes, Entangles, NNDs, that sort of thing.[/quote']

     

     

    I've got a thing for energy projectors myself, and I agree with Collie that having more than "Blow stuff up" and "blow more stuff up" as powers is generally the right way to go.

     

    While we're on the topic, I love ice manipulators. My pet GMPC is an ice manipulator. I've played several versions of them (brick, EP, even metamorph) in the past. Ironically, though I love City of Heroes, I could never get into the ice sets in that game. Go figure.

  2. Re: Your "Oh #@$%!" Moment

     

    Am I seriously the only one who understood EXACTLY what a high school twink club is?

     

    High School = 15-18 year olds

    Twink = Thinks that the more damage done is roleplaying

    Club = Him and all his mouth breathing instant gratification buddies.

     

    I've noticed that most members of a High Schol Twink Club are the kind of people that think Halo and Gears of War are great writing, and play online FPS's simply to fling racial slurs and a word that can mean british cigarettes around like it's going out of style.

     

    Yes, I have had more than one game ruined by these [censored] idiots.

     

    I don't mean to thread hijack, really I don't, I just can't stand these kinds of people. Not liking something doesn't make it "gay" and me chainsawing you into chunky bits does not make me a "fag". These words have deeper meaning, and these &$%^-wits need to learn that.

     

    [/hijack]

     

    Again. So sorry.

     

    PS: Not to say I dislike Gears of War. It's a good game, but not high art.

    And Halo just sucks.

  3. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    From my teen champions game:

     

    cast:

    Lisa "Fireshot" Deing: Fire controlling catgirl

    Maria Vitel: Somewhat goth dhampir girl (yes, goth, not emo)

    Ariel "Sylph" Adams: "Hot For Teacher" style english teacher/librarian/heroic mage

    Tzalan: Extra-dimensional wraith exile inhabiting a human host

    Jacob "Buntai-kun" Masterson: martial artist/everything bender boy-band member

    Joshua Focker: 12 year old super-genius shape-shifter

    Tiffany "Panther" Grey: Super-strong, somewhat insecure gymnast

    Paul "Frostbite" Milliner: NPC cold manipulator, has TERRIBLE luck in combat

     

    Pre-game:

    GM: "Ah, crap. I forgot my hex map!"

    Lisa (OOC): "Are we gonna have a combat today?"

    GM: ::shrug:: "I don't have one planned, but knowing you guys..." ::indicates Joshua's player::

    Lisa (OOC): "Good point."

     

    The heroes fight a plot-powered crystal golem:

    GM: "Okay, Frostbite goes for an entangle." ::rolls dice:: "and hits! Lemme figure out the Def and Body..."

    Maria (OOC): "He should totally lose his next action from shock."

    GM: ::glare::

     

    Crystal golem defeated, proving the heroes worthy:

    GM: "When the golem is beaten, it dissolves into dust that swirls around all of you, pieces of it eventually settling into the palm of your left hand, leaving a symbol on your hand. You don't know what it means, but Sylph, a little scrambling through your books, and you puzzle them out. Yours means "Wisdom", Panther's is "Power", Maria's is "Speed", Joshua has "Emotion", Jacob has "Will", Frostbite gets "Persistance"...

    rest of table: ::begins snickers, eventually becoming full on laughter::

    GM (OOC): "Look, I know Frostbite is kind of a joke, but bless his heart, he's trying."

  4. Re: Your "Oh #@$%!" Moment

     

    Can't really think of one as a player, since I so rarely get to be one. Have a few I provoked as a GM though.

     

    Running Serenity (based on the show Firefly, which if you haven't seen, then you should. I'll wait....... okay, I'm impatient)

     

    Crew arrives on a planet called Deadwood and fall in with a beautiful young barmaid named Bridget. The fiery redhead has a plan to get them all off this dustball, and, well, if you've seen the show, yep, her. I was using Saffron. All the players figured it out at different points, except our mechanic, Franklin. The player, I love him like a brother, but he's a bit slow on the uptake. He had the best reaction when he realized who she was though.

     

    "Oh F--K! NOT HER!!"

    I was proud of myself for days after that.

  5. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Ooooo...there's definitely a movie title in this post just begging to be used.

     

     

    Major Tom 2009 :eg:

     

    My girlfriend made me see Twilight with her, so I'm dragging her to see Inglorious Basterds with me. No arguments. All I need to know is Quentin Tarantino directed it, and it's about killing nazis. Can it POSSIBLY get any better?

     

    Oh, a couple minor quotes from our Teen Champs game yesterday. No one could stay focused, and one of my players lost her cat to a tragic car accident the night before, so we didn't have much for a game. First, the cast!

     

    I'm spoilering it, because it turned out to be really long!

     

     

     

    PCs:

    Lisa "Fireshot" Deing ~ A former DNPC for the players old character Fox, Lisa has had her "coming out" discovering fire based powers, and become a full fledged hero. She wants to find a way to revive her big brother (the old character) from his plot induced coma. She has also been recently woken from a 10 year forced coma, so her fashion, slang and general knowledge is about a decade out of date (she was coma-ized in 1999)

     

    Maria Vitel ~ A dhampir being raised in a church attic by a poor catholic priest/former vampire hunter named Father Ray. He used to be called Father Azrael (recurring character of mine that the players love to hate. Once made him the god of fluffy pink bunnies, but that's a different game). Maria is the sickly, quiet goth girl who is frighteningly good with a pair of matched Kunai. She has mostly regenerative and STR and DEX boosting powers. Once a month on the full moon she needs to feed on a human, else get even more sickly.

     

    Joshua Focker ~ a 12 year old genius, senior in high school, extremely coddled Jewish boy. Terrified of the world, but in posession of a variety of form shifting powers. Think an emotion based Ben Tennyson. But more Jewish. And scared of his mother. His two discovered forms so far are the Demon Krathoosh (player named) who represents aggression and the Golem, who represents Joshua's protective feelings.

     

    Tiffany "Panther" Grey ~ Scene Girl and snob, Tiffany was once a shoe-in for the US olympic gymnastics team... until her super-strength manifested and she nearly killed her coach. Her family has moved to Center City to try to restart.

     

    "Tzalan" ~ The being Tzalan is an exiled extra-dimensional wraithlike being inhabiting a human host, named Alan. Tzalan is unfamiliar with human culture, and often forgets he can access his hosts memories for clues, leading to interesting interactions. He once thought humans were made in factories, like Ford and Chevy.

     

    Ariel "Sylph" Adams ~ The older "action mentor" character. Sylph was a magical hero in Center City back before powers vanished, and now that they've returned, she's one of the go-to people for powers advice. Recently, her intern/apprentice turned to dark forces for power, so she turned to the players (a group called Aegis) for help.

     

    NPCs:

    Paul "Frostbite" Milliner ~ A former cat-burglar turned superhero, Paul is serving the strangest probation ever. Once he turns 18 and his record clears, he claims he's gonna be long gone. I roll spectacularly bad for him, and the players have dubbed him the "terror of Center City's pigeon population", because, well, all those missed cold blasts have to go somewhere, right?

     

    Agent Harkness ~ Representitive of PRIMUS, former NASCAR driver and the PCs liason and handler. NOT like Harkness from Dr. Who.

     

    Castor Langley "Gemini" ~ The mayor of Center City, sponsor of Aegis, and former costumed hero from the 20's. Gemini was once a super-soldier, but his powers have long since faded, leaving him instead with an extremely slowed aging rate. For a man more than 110 years old, he looks like he's perhaps in his early 60's. Not bad.

     

    Only Frostbite goes along with the group on missions. Harkness brings them there, and Gemini is who they report to afterwards.

     

     

     

    Tzalan shifts into his Wraithly form:

    GM: "The nerdy guy in front of you literally turns inside out, with all the concommittant sound effects. Crunching, popping cartilage, and what can only be described as the sound of several pounds of aged angus beef being forced through a garden hose."

    rest of table: ::shudders::

     

    Maria and Tiffany have a forced discussion:

    Tiffany: "So, what are your powers, besides being pale and unpleasant?"

    Maria: "... I'm a half-vampire if that helps."

    Tiffany: ::eyes light up:: "OH! Do you sparkle?!"

    Maria: "I'm done." ::leaves the room::

     

    Tzalan has discovered the internet:

    Tzalan: ::spouts some semi-factual perhaps correct factoid::

    Gemini: "Where are you getting this stuff from?"

    Tzalan: "The domain is called... wikipedia."

    Joshua: "Link him to TvTropes, he'll be stuck all day."

    Tzalan: ::spouts more factoids::

    Gemini: "It's like he's channeling dead crazy people!"

     

    Sadly, that's all we have right now. I promise more in time!

  6. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Oh, this is really addictive.

    One more.

     

    ....

     

    -SC

     

    Oh, it is. Most of my posts are in this one thread. Go on an archive crawl, the whole thread is glorious!

     

    Wish I had some quotes to contribute, but my game is in a state of flux right now. I'll have some soon!

  7. Re: Villians Unite

     

    I have a couple groups I use.

     

    The Shadow Strike Team: Originally a VIPER sponsored team of super-powered agents, the Strike Team decided they didn't want to follow orders anymore and bailed. The team has undergone quite a bit of shuffling in the years my game has flowed across. The three core members are Demolition Jackal, a powersuited villain, just shy of the Warlord in personal power, Deadbeat, an animated skeleton (I think I pulled him from Bob Greenwade. It was a long time ago) and Spasm, a shapeshifting bio-mimetic bruiser. Two former members, Siphon and Heatwave, both with gang ties, have fallen to assassins from their own past, the original leader of the team, Nightshade, betrayed them for his own reasons, and their two other members, Stonework and Snutch defected to the heroside after the heroes freed Stonework's sister and left them without blackmail to keep him. Right now, Demolition Jackal has taken a position as the principal of Center City High School, Mr. Jaquel, and is using it as a vehicle to recruit potential new members.

     

    Which leads to:

    The Infiniteens: A group of young supers who think they're in some kind of training to be heroes. Sadly, they are deluded, and the ones who realize this, don't really care. Crime pays faster than justice anyway. Necrocide, a young woman deeply involved in Black Magic leads the team, along with Gigawatt, the son of the former supervillain of the same name, Psychotronic, a technopathic geek, Leech, a power siphoning track & fielder, Wildcat, a feline-hybrid mutant cheerleader, Prism, a shy science geek girl with light based powers and Riptide, a transfer student from Oklahoma with Water-based powers.

     

    Prism, Riptide and Psychotronic are in the team due to a crippling need for acceptance and approval. Jackal is preying on them in an attempt to break them and bring them into the Shadow Strike Team.

     

    Oh yeah, did I mention? It's a teen champions game.

  8. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Brontus: That wasn't me! It was the gnome! Why am I always getting blamed for his burrito cravings? :mad:

     

     

    - Lonewalker

     

    That reminds me of a quote I read somewhere, I think the Order of the Stick comic, about a high level character farting hard enough to accidentally cloudkill five or six kobolds at a time.

     

    Yeah, funnier when I saw it I guess. It's late.

  9. Re: Silvertongue

     

    I was thinking a lot more mousy for the character design, but close enough. Sorry if I seemed a little pissy, just was having a rough day.

     

    I decided on a VPP with extra time (finding the right book and page) focus (books of convenience) and incantations (reading aloud).

  10. Re: How to make the Loner feel not so Lonely?

     

    You may want to read the following post, and the rest of the thread it is part of.

    There is some very wise advice there, and the poster makes some excellent points. :D

     

    http://www.herogames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=562514&postcount=10

     

    KA.

     

     

    Totally not a shameless plug! No way! :thumbup:

     

    I've often found that steering a lone wolf towards the (wo)man of mystery angle works. They're similar enough that the lone wolf can still get their jollies, and they're not so heinous on a team.

  11. Re: Who's your Nemesis? And... WHY?

     

    I hate to admit it, but I've never had a PC hero last long enough to get an arch-villain. I had Scorpio who I lost to a spike to the face, Marcus, who kind of slipped out of focus after I had to leave the game, and I've been the GM since, so I have all the villains. Some of my players have interesting nemeses (nemesii?)

     

    PC "hero": Andrew: Ultra-powerful mentalist, and my realization that I needed campaign limits. Old game.

    Nemesis: Meanstreak: A speedster villain.

    Why: Meanstreak and Andrew just rubbed each other the wrong way, and never got that "mutual respect" thing that some pairings have, instead opting for pure hatred. Problem was, after Andrew suffered a radiation accident and became a blob of living nanites, Meanstreak couldn't hit hard enough to cause damage to him, and Andrew didn't have a high enough OCV to hit the quick little bugger. Basically it came down to who could outsmart the other first. (Though a jerk, Meanstreak wasn't stupid.)

     

    PC Hero: Fox: Mutant teleporting fox-human hybrid fencer.

    Nemesis: Acidshock: a Russian former KGB agent with acid creation and manipulation powers. After Fox's family for reasons unspecified (at least so far). Has gone so far in the current game to get himself cybernetically enhanced, in order to hunt down Fox's sister, Lisa, after managing to send Fox into a coma in the last game.

    Why: His unspecified reason. Apparently, Acidshock had a real issue with Fox's grandfather, so much so, that he now needs to see the entire Deing family line obliterated. I'd post why, but my players (at least Fox/Lisa anyway) are on these boards.

     

    There were others, but its late, and I'm tired.

  12. Okay folks, I'm back into Hero system again, as my Shadowrun game has run into a massive problem, and collapsed under it's own weight and the fact that my players were just humoring me and didn't really like the game.

     

    Either way, I'm back to Hero, and I was looking for some advice.

     

    I'm putting together an NPC, and I wanted some input.

     

    My character idea is basically a rip from the movie Inkheart. Note, I haven't read the book, and my approximation of the powers may me misled (I've seen the movie while at work at Blockbuster, so I'm sure I missed parts).

     

    Anyway, I wanted to put together a Silvertongue character. Likely name him Silvertongue (as I think it's an awesome hero name), and he'd the master librarian of a shady order of mystics. I'm still debating if the order knows of his powers or not, but that's neither here nor there.

     

    However, when hearing "head librarian of a shady order of mystics" you wouldn't expect to see a mousy 16 year old kid, cowering behind hugely thick coke-bottle glasses, dirty shirt, terminally shy and clutching an ancient book for dear life. But this is that kid. The library is his home, and he only leaves it grudgingly.

     

    Powers: Ability to read aloud from a book, and to cause the actions read to come to life.

    I'm thinking a Cosmic VPP, but if anyone has other ideas, awesome (ie, EB with variable SFX, Summon with variable SFX, etc.)

     

    As for limitations, I was thinking Focus (appropriate book), extra time (finding the right book/page), incantations (reading aloud) and such

    Also, "Terminally Shy" for a psych-lim.

     

    Also, I wanted to make it that he couldn't just scribble something out and read it and have it happen, in order for his powers to work, the new fiction would have to be written by an Inkheart (which, sadly, he knows none).

     

    So, any suggestions?

  13. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Kids come up with the greatest names, even if they don't realize it.

     

    I had my son help me name a group of armored thugs once and we ended up with Cheeseball, Little Bag of Kibble, Mr. Slantypants, and Coco the Terrible. This group failed to inspire fear in anyone.

     

    Okay, I tried. I really did, but its official. I can't say "Mr. Slantypants" without laughing. Even typing it makes me giggle.

  14. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Last week didn't get us any real quotes, as everyone was too feckless and unfocused to get any real time in. This week we will be welcoming a new player, who will be playing Red's best friend Cass (anyone who's seen the Gamers: Dorkness Rising will know the name. Yes. Based on that Cass) so it's bound to be interesting.

     

    For those in the know, this time, Brother Silence IS an elf! ;-)

  15. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    From my Shadowrun game:

     

    We've had a bit of shakeup in characters. Carotis and Thaddeus have gone missing, and Beldarien Corbin, their Shaman Sniper has gone away for a time, due to inhaled Astral inhibiting chemicals. (Carotis and Thaddeus' players wanted to try new characters, Beldarien's has gone and gotten himself a social life. For shame.)

     

    New additions:

    Franklin: Dwarf Technomancer rigger. His favorite drone is an almost pixel for pixel copy of a tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell. He also has a Doberman Drone with a mounted Panther cannon he calls "Boomer". Also, he has the shell program of an old Technomancer riding in his brain-meats.

     

    Donovan: Human gunslinger. Has little to no memory of his past. Woke up one day with a bunch of money, some custom guns and a bunch of fake IDs. He figures one of them may be real, so he's come to Seattle to figure out who he is.

     

    And, as always:

    Hank "Venom" McNeil: Beer swigging mechanic/and the unluckiest luckiest SOB on earth

    Haru Tetanuga: Elf Technomancer and boy-whore. Currently weighing prom invites. long story.

    "Red": Human street-samurai/rigger. Specced for guns and action girl moments. Her motorcycle has a surly elf AI named Lou.

    Diom "Die" Zanuff: Ork blades specialist/mystic adept.

    Susan: Dwarf Med-Mage and Bliss addict. Carried the badass ball last week.

    "Fast" Eddie Sanchez: Elf mneumonic courier/novacoke-head/mystic adept. NPC

    Giovanni "Wraith" Valentino: The group's cybered out fixer. Ended up being a runner for a short time, due to lack of personell.

     

     

    Players wake up in a prison cell. Their equipment gone, their clothes gone. Eventually they meet the administrator of the Saeder-Krupp orbital prison facility:

    "Red" (OOC): "Wait just a ****ing second. I'm not only in jail, I'm in space jail?! Where's the guy with the gold cigarette lighter?"

    GM (me, OOC): "Hey, YOU were the one to base your concept on Cyber City Oedo 808. I didn't force the explosive collar on you."

    "Red" (sullen, OOC): "I didn't even do anything this time!"

    In her defense, she had missed the last session, and this one picked up in medias res, so she was a bit... confused.

     

    Beldarien is taken away by the administrator, it's explained that his dealings with a... creature... calling itself Veronica has caused a small panic about possible infection.

    Administrator: "The process is... unpleasant, but, please, try to remain conscious. Any feedback you can give us about the machine will be invaluable."

    Beldarien: "Isn't there a blood test or something?!"

    Administrator: ::looks at other attending doctor over a diabolical machine, then looks at Beldarien:: "No."

     

    Group manages to escape with a doctor's help. They are pursued by ED-209 security drones. They escape with:

    Bowman: Ork runner, expert with bows and has an odd cyber-eye (it's really an iBall drone)

    Trina: Ork Gunslinger Physical Adept. loves the butterfly motif.

    Harley: a genetically modified woman with cat ears and a tail. Too bubbly for most people's taste, but an expert mechanic.

    Dollface: A mute young woman with a porcelain mask affixed to her face. Displayed... troubling abilities in combat, but seems to like Haru.

    and finally JC, a powerful young technomancer and his drone riding Sprite companion Mathie.

    Franklin and Donovan hadn't joined yet, Thaddeus and Carotis were missing, so it was a large group of people.

    In the flight hangar, the group encounters the Administrator again, but something is... wrong with her. She mutates and attacks (think the game Prototype and you're on the right track). They manage to retrieve their gear and defeat her and escape. The station is covered with a flesh/reddish growth, much like what happened to the administrator. Something isn't right, and Saeder-Krupp is in the middle of it.

     

    On the way back to earth, a thud and a scrape is heard on the roof. Red panics.

    "Red": "It's gonna breach the hull, and then we'll lose out air, and our blood will boil in 13 seconds! I may throw up on you."

    (Yes, that was a new Star Trek quote)

     

    After crashlanding a stolen orbital shuttle in the barrens, Susan gets a little aggravated.

    Susan: "Breakfast. I need breakfast. I've had an AWFUL day."

     

    The group gets sent on another run almost immediately.

    Susan: "Fine! Just doggie bag it, I'll eat it in the van!"

     

    A long series of events involving a cleaning crew, a ghost, a wrecked APC, a toxic spirit, and a dumpster dive for the skull of a hacker leaves Hank covered head to toe in garbage, slime, and various bodily fluids. The group brings him to a carwash. They stand him in the middle of a bay and have him strip. Susan, Die and Red are armed with the high pressure hoses, the brush and the wax gun, respectively. Hank is... dubious about the upcoming process.

    Haru: "My advice is, CLENCH EVERYTHING!"

     

    That was the end of our session a couple weeks ago. Its late now, so I'll finish it up later.

  16. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    With a drill press?

     

    Sigged. That is wonderful. Thank you.

     

    Okay, got a few from tonight, Hunter the Vigil:

     

    On a limbless vampire used as a "battery" for a hunter who's secretly a ghoul:

    Tommy: "For all I know you could have your limbless girlfriend in a cardboard box!"

    Scott (OOC): "It's not a cardboard box! And she's not my girlfriend!"

     

    --------------------------------

     

    Impersonating the FBI:

    Tommy: "While you were out having your little company picnic, I was defending the American Way of Life! How were your Devilled Eggs?"

    (best if shouted at the top of their lungs)

     

    --------------------------------

     

    Regarding my character:

    GM: "With a one presence, you are terribly unimpressive, and you have that aura, that 'eau de-didn'tbathe'"

     

    --------------------------------

     

    On buying bullet-proof vests:

    GM (as gunshop owner): "So, why do you need seven vests?"

    Scott: "I'm going hunting."

    Gunshop owner: ::long pause:: "... With Cheney?"

    Play stopped for about 10 minutes at this point.

  17. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Only a couple right now, both from our space opera game:

    Andromachae (NPC): "You're alive with the glow of motherhood!"

    Jesse: "Is that the tactful way of saying she's fat?"

     

    ----------------------

     

    The joys of crossplaying:

    Cory (male): "I like my uterus!"

     

    ----------------------

     

    Also, it's remarkably difficult to keep up a quasi-russian accent while simultaneously trying to sound drunk.

  18. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    From my Shadowrun game:

     

    For reference, players are:

    Hank "Venom" McNeil - Mechanic and pseudo-rigger, human

    Haru Tetanuga - Technomancer and man-whore, elf

    Mina "Red" - Cybered out gun-bunny go-ganger, human

    Thaddeus Lamont - Highly cyber and biowared out Street Samurai, Troll

    Carotis Lamont - Physical Adept elemental martial artist, Troll

    Diom "Die" Zanuff - Mystic Adept swordsman, Ork

    Susan - Wiccan med-mage, Dwarf

    Beldaran Corbin - Eagle Shaman Sniper, Elf

     

    Of this group, the only one with even a modicum of discretion is Beldaran.

     

    The group gets the job:

    Mr. Johnson: I need you to break into this Shiawase facility and swap this blood sample with one already on site.

    Hank: Sounds like a sneak type job.

    Mr. J: I'd prefer if no attention were called to this swap...

    Hank, Thaddeus and Carotis stand and leave

    Mr. J: ...preferably by drawing attention away from their medical facilites.

    Hank, Thaddeus and Carotis turn around

    Hank: That sounds like it could involve a boom. I'm back in!

    Mr. J: Uh... excellent?

     

    Planning:

    Hank: Well, I've still got about 20 pounds of commercial grade explosives, and we have that RV from the last mission...

    Susan: Could we maybe have a mission that doesn't involve some kind of explosion?

    rest of the group: ::blank stares::

    Susan: Wrong crowd, sorry.

     

    Running Matrix interference:

    GM: Haru, you recognize that icon. Looks like their security hacker is the same guy from your first job, Frogger.

    Haru: Oh, that little **** I remember him. I'm gonna try to seal him off.

    GM: Opposed hacking check sweetcheeks.

    GM & Haru: ::roll lots of dice, Haru crits, Frogger scores a critical glitch (botch but worse for those not familiar with SR4)

    GM: Hmm. Okay, you manage to seal Frogger off, he's sitting there happily unaware of everything going on around him.

    Haru: Good, and as soon as he tries another scan, I'm gonna flood him with Gay Porn.

    GM (quasi-OOC): It's always Gay Porn with you, isn't it?

    Haru: ::quietly:: not always...

     

    Haru hacks the security chief's PAN (Personal Area Network):

    GM: Okay, your in. Two seperate rolls, one to shut off his gun, and the other to switch off his goggles.

    Haru: ::makes both rolls nicely::

    Security Chief: ::fails firewall roll for gun, crit-glitches roll for goggles::

    Haru: A crit-glitch? ::smiles evilly::

    GM: Porn?

    Haru: Lots of it. As gay as it gets.

    GM: *sigh*

     

    On being a good guy:

    Beldaran: Okay, after the explosion, I sneak into the facility.

    GM: Okay, the rather unfortunate guard who saw the explosives in the first place is lying on the ground near the door you need to get through. His right leg is ruined, and at least half his face is hanging off the chain-link fence on the far side of the property. He seems to be in considerable pain, and he reaches out to you.

    Beldaran: I shake him off and continue what I was doing.

    Haru (OOC): You just lost Karma!

    GM (OOC): This is not Fallout!

     

    Beldaran has a harrowing experience with a blood drinking THING in the med-facility:

    Beldaran: V-V-Vampire!

    Rest of group: ::scoffs, laughs or skeptical::

    Beldaran: Oh come on! I'm a gawddamned elf! I cast spells! ::points at Thaddeus:: Hell, just look at him! Vampires aren't beyond the scope of possibilities here!

    Thaddeus: Hey!

     

    Haru plays video games with a novacoke addict:

    Haru: I disconnect his controller.

    GM: The game continues playing. It's catching up with what he pressed. He's his own personal turbo button!

    Haru (OOC): ::imitating the Boondocks:: HE CHEATED PLAYSTATION!

  19. Re: Help with naming a spider themed character.

     

    Well, I play a character on a Mush called Silver Spider, but really, any Color + Spider should be fine except for Black, which is a Batman Villain, and Scarlet, which is the Spider Clone.

     

    Arachnos is not taken. It's just taken in my game world.

     

     

    Well, Arachnos is technically taken, it's the main villainous organization in City of Heroes, but as long as your not publishing this, I don't think it'd be a problem.

  20. Re: Your character's theme music!

     

    As much as I love Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" I can't think of a character of mine that it applies to. Sadly.

     

    So, without further ado:

     

    Wraith: New Fixer and eternal karma's b***h from Shadowrun

    Metallica

    The Day That Never Comes

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yErdJpg1ECg

     

     

     

     

    Fast Eddie: Mnemonic courier, mystic adept, novacoke addict from Shadowrun. He has two.

    System of a Down

    This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song

     

    for obvious reasons.

     

    and

    Dragonforce

    Through The Fire and Flames

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9_U-RBSuk

     

    just because of the sheer speed, that's how fast Eddie's mind races. Often he can't keep up.

     

     

    G1itCh: Paranoid pseudo-skeptic hacker, from Hunter: The Vigil.

    Chumbawamba

    Everything You Know Is Wrong

     

     

    Jurgen Dain Olafsson III, Heavy Weapons Specialist 1st class, Valkyrie Unit, Earth Defense Forces. From Tri-Stat Space Opera:

    Rob Zombie & Drowning Pool

    The Man Without Fear

     

     

    Jugen is considered a freak. He stands 7'5" and is built like a train. He's also not stupid, and knows that people of his genetic type do not last long. He has instead devoted his life to living every moment like it is his last, which it very well might be.

  21. Re: Help with naming a spider themed character.

     

    Name him Jeffery. He sounds a lot like the character of the same name from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Jeffery is an unendingly positive and upbeat helpful giant mutant spider, and Billy, who he thinks is his father, hates him because he's a big gross spider.

    sorry, couldn't help it.
