Only the GM gets to warp reality.

A friend and I are arguing over this: Did Superman kill those Raptors at the end? Either with his heat vision or the subsequent fall?

Thanks for this. Maybe it's not entirely accurate, but I appreciate you giving a real answer instead of a snippy one. FWIW, whenever I looked up "Ages" in comic books, Iron was missing.

What's the Iron Age?

That was our first thought as well.

That message really doesn't need the screw-job on Jor-el to be communicated...weird.

Everyone else, even people on your side of the argument, has understood what I said. Well done standing on your own.

... Right.

He was not at ALL an anti-hero.

Remember that it's not that I don't know how to narrate it...it's that it (wearing armor makes you better at dodging) doesn't simulate how armor works.

But in the game world, if I want to be harder to hit, I put on heavy armor. The reason people don't like damage on a miss, is because, to them, it was a miss. And you missed me because I am wearing 40+pounds of steel. This is a discrete part of the rules system, and is not simulating...

If it's an abstraction, it's not a simulation. And hey, I never said I didn't like it, so you can turn that particular faucet right off; all the RPGs I play use a similar system, and I quite like them. I do, however, recognize them for what they are...as you did: an abstraction of a concept...

Taking damage =/= dodge better.

Wearing heavy armor makes you dodge better?

Looked exactly the same. Krypto's whole thing in the film was that he showed no restraint.
