I'm not very impressed with what I've seen so far, but it seems to be very much in flux to me. I'm sticking with PF for the foreseeable future; but anything is possible. -Q.

12, though a swashbuckler with a halberd would be a sight. -Q.

Quite a bit, but not devastating. I paint minis to supplement my plastic collection, I'll just being doing more of that to cover any holes. -Q.

My fav was a cookie jar. Who got the cookie from the cookie jar? Stumpy of course! -Q.

So by "supers RPGs of ages past" you mean Marvel Superheros? -Q.

The only absolute I keep in mind regarding RPGs is that they are all shared experiences. -Q.

When I was playing AD&D we treated some rules as set in stone and others as amusing suggestions. For some reason we stuck solidly to the level limits. -Q.

A lovable NPC who follows the group around to give them a little kick in the pants or mess up the perfect plan or get captured, kidnapped, cursed etc. It's always a good hook for sidetracks. Of course they have to have some affection for the NPC or they might just leave it to rot :lol: -Q.

Excellent selections, I'd throw this in from the Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack Dust to Dust by Matsue Hamauzu & Masashi Hamauzu, very sad, mournful music. -Q. YouTube - ~Xx FINAL FANTASY XIII SOUNDTRACK: [ Dust to Dust (Oerba) ] :xX~

Aware of his own mortality and not too pleased with the idea of a mausoleum, he wants to build a society of clock work replicas to preserve his empire "at it's height", including a mechanical version of himself. -Q.

Since most people have some basic concept of what's illegal, it's usually better to decide how the local law differs from the norm. Perhaps more specifically, what laws are likely to have some effect on the players. I ran an entire adventure once around a player being mistaken for a member of...
