From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

Allo.

Anyone miss me?

Been first without a printer for the computer then without the internet. Kinda sucked.

Been working on my Mutants & Masterminds homebrew of Island City.

Watching Dexter Season 2 while doing it.

Also working on minis for the game. Not sure how much use they will get for game play.

I was wondering where you vanished to since the M&M question threads you started dropped way down thread listings.

If it wasn't for the fact that you're connection was so bad, I'd say to pick up the Champion's Online demo (only for the character generator). It's so much better then the one that was released on the net for the Korean City of Heroes (and doesn't require you to do some registry edits to run it).

The game itself, is alright at best. My main gripe is that it's too linear since there aren't many zones you can go to.. It's just the Desert, Canada and Millennium city. Then eventually you go to Monster Island, Lemuria, and some other city.

The characters I created were a Gunfu cowboy (currently named "Bounty Killer" but will later be renamed Django in honor of the chain-gun attack he now has), and two characters I try to make in different RPGs, a werecheetah (he uses sword and claw attacks) and a cheetah-catgirl (she's is super strong brawler type). I then made skins of several characters I played in various RPGS using Fuzion, BESM, and in Heroes Unlimited.


Oh and Rat.. Champions might get a Viking costume set soon (its on this poll for which costumes should be released next), which a certain Ice Super Viking could be played soon.

I am homebrewing my Mutants & Mastermind's game. The setting is Island City. Think a cross between Miami, NYC and Hollywood.

The Map I just finished represents about 30x10 miles.

The world had a superpowered "WWIII" type of event that occured roughly 50 years ago. People both fear and love the superpowered beings of the world. There are government factions and corporations that are looking to control the superpowered beings of the world even as some of these people are treated like the biggest pop stars and actors of today by the press.

However, in the horizon the remains of a city destroyed by a superpowered battle remains as a reminder of their powers over destruction if left uncontrolled.



To get a feel for the game system, I am running a few basic "save the day" type of adventures. My son is playing a Batman type complete with a hydrocycle (land and sea) and a secret base. My daughter is going back and forth but is leaning towards a shape shifting telepath.

Once we have a feel for the game then we begin the campaign. It starts with the two heroes prowling the streets at night when they see a figure fall from the sky at night. After it crashes through some billboards and into the bay they find the body along with the police.

The body has burns and a gunshot wound BUT not so much as a bruise from the fall (WTF?!? moment). When he awakens, he has no memory. His only power is invulnibility despite the wounds he has.

In time, and during the course of several more adventures, he will display a talent for computers. The heroes will also run into clandestine soldiers with many varied powers that seem to be hunting super powered people. Eventually it will come out that the mystery man was a member of a covert group using experimental cybernetics that allow one to use programmed powers (HARD Corps from Valiant Comics). Before having invulibility, he fought his way free from the base but was shot and burned in the process. When cybernetic links are "turned off" Invulnibity becomes the default power thus how he survived his fall.

During this, it will be revealed he is a mutant with the power of Techomancy. Unconsciencely he "rewired" the program so as use the powers as he sees fit thus no longer under the control of the corporation / government forces. The time of doing this however created memory blocks.

I figure this should work well as a first campaign. It brings in the feel of the world, the major players, a mystery to resolve and lots of fun.

I find it funny that Galeros and I both quote the same quote at the EXACT SAME TIME.

Why? Aren't you the same person?

You're merging into one!

Why? Aren't you the same person?

You're being assimilated* into one!

:Q They're borg!

Now, if only I had time and money for another MMO

My little brother's robot is coming to life... (if only I could get it to upload the new programming).

It has a ultrasonic range sensor that it uses to detect obstacles that are within 8 inches from it. It also enters a "hibernation" mode when it is in the shade.

Hey JDVN!

Guess what google announced today. Their ANDROID (wtf?!?) Tablet is in nearing completion, so I figure that there soon there should also be a ChomeOS Tablet out on the market (since using Android seems like a curve ball or misdirection to me).

Course, I read that on WIRED which is funny since EVERY article on that site that deals with cellphones, computers, or tablets reads as an advertisement for Apple.

What?! Awesome! I must look up details! (skimming) And it'll have Flash? I read somewhere that Flash wasn't compatible with multitouch. I don't know if that's true, though. If Google can figure it out, that's awesome!

Yeah, but you gotta write for your audience. There are a lot of Apple fans, even among the computer-savvy.
