Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Hussar]

Isn't it funny when experience somehow trumps facts. Like, if I did something once, that means that this is the ONLY way it can ever be done, and nothing like actual facts can sway me from believing that my lived experience and my interpretation of that lived experience is the sole source of truth and facts in the universe.

Bat-Slugger- a vigilante who wears Batman merch themed streetwear and uses a baseball bat sporting Batman-symbol metal studs.

Just thought- this could be a fun take on a “street samurai” in a cyberpunk campaign.

ICBINTA notables could include Captain USA, The Incredible Bulk, FE-Male, Big Boy/The Hornet, Queen Bee, Mighty Sore***, The Crimson Caster, etc.


* maybe for Toon?

** or JLA, JSA, Legion of Super Heroes, Teen Titans, X-Men, New Mutants, Alpha Flight, Fantastic Four, etc.

*** an anthropomorphic bipedal black duck with a speech impediment and the power of a Norse god

INEDible Bulk, surely?

No wait!

Mr. Miracle & Big Barda could cover the Batman & Wonder Woman roles pretty well, especially with the Bats & WW romance storyline. Mr. Miracle also has some Superman style powers as well, though not as pronounced.

Nubia would also work.

The problematic ones (from my perspective) would be a super speedster (there’s lots, but we’re looking for a slower one) and a bargain basement Green Lantern (Hal Jordan ). I simply can’t recall a less powerful version of that character other than Green Lantern (Alan Scott).

I like the shout for Etrigan. He could fit in nicely for the Martian Manhunter as a powerhouse "alien" with a broad power base. For Wonder Woman, Nubia works, though I had also thought of Yankee Poodle. I could go either way. For GL, I feel like they've already gone with joke Lanterns before (G'nort or), so maybe a random Corps member, like Torquemada, or an awkward one, like Arisia? For Flash, I kind of thought Mas and Menos would work. I'm basically short a Batman and a Superman. Vigilante (Adrian Chase) might fit, though he's more of a Punisher knockoff. For Superman, I'll go with Mon El.

Aquaman
Etrigan
Torquemada or Arisia
Mon El
Nubia
Vigilante
Mas and Menos (edit: forgot how their powers worked, it'd have to be both, or they'd be useless)

It used to be that people took for a fact that if your dog licked a wound it would heal fast or if you rubbed a wart with a patatoe cut in half it would go away faster.

Many facts thrown around this forum, are often just common agreement, not scientificaly verified facts.

After all this time, with thousands of posts, why do some members still claim their experience of D&D is the only valid one and the experience of others are marginal? (rhetorical question)

Because there is a prize at the end for the one!

What if there were a day during which nobody was wrong on the internet?

There are two possible ways to think of this:
1) Cliche: If you say it on the internet, reality bends to make it so you are correct.
2) Fae: If you go on the internet, you cannot speak that which is incorrect.

This must be what heaven is like.

If you rub a sliced onion on your dice, they roll better. That's not my opinion, that's just facts! Science!

I think the architect who built the hotel I last stayed at with my wife and daughter also designed the Shandor Building. If so, no notes -- everything functioned as (apparently) designed!

8 or 9 years ago my wife, son(2 at the time) and I took a road trip to northern California. The end of it was a two day stay at an AirBnB just outside of Sequoia National Park so that we could enjoy time there.

We spent the first day at the park and when we were done we drove out of the park to the AirBnB. The owners had converted a large house into a motel like building where all the room were accessed from the outside. They had turned the garage into a "restaurant." On a steep hill behind the AirBnB there was a wall of junk. When I say wall, I mean they had old cars, furniture, appliances and more all stacked up so that the outside edge was relatively smooth, it rose to about 10-15 feet high with a relatively flat top, and the ends of the wall were also relatively flat. Rising from behind the wall of junk was a house that looked like a smallish Bates Motel. The whole thing was unsettling to look at. Then we noticed some travelers who had been allowed to pitch a few tents on a patch of grass on the other side of the driveway going up to the house.

After we had chips for a snack, since we didn't exactly want to order a meal that included any meat and that was all they really had on the menu, we went to the room. The door opened up into a smallish room with a window. I opened the drapes and saw that it had a very clear view up the hill to the wall of junk and the house and quickly closed the drapes again. Then we went and opened the closet and on the top shelf of the closet were about 8-10 of those creepy porcelain dolls you see in horror movies. Looking something like this, but even this isn't quite as creepy as those were.

There was a second locked door that we could not open at the other side of the room, so I put a chair against each door so that no one could open them while we slept. In the morning we woke up and went outside and the guys staying in those tents were walking around in their underwear. I asked my wife if she just wanted to go home instead of stay the last day and she just looked at me and said to go tell them that we wouldn't be back.

Well, of course you guys didn't have a great time. You blocked the door to the interior, that was where the Overnight Surprise was supposed to come from! You have to have the Surprise, it's not the authentic experience without it!

The name of my next superhero character is Trademark Violation Man.

I always wanted to create a superhero with reality control powers, but with a quirky limitation. I would be Letterman from the old Electric Company show.
