    New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

    "Can say that again," Jerry agreed. "Gets in the way of surfing."

    New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

    "Sorry about that, mate. Cody wanted to give me a yank cultural experience," Jerry smiled. "Don't see why a cheeseburger and chips didn't do, but I don't like questioning the ways of strange cultures. Not with Vegemite in my diet, anyway."

    New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

    "W-" Cody's hug cut off whatever Jerry meant to say and he returned it reflexively. He's got to be coming on to me. What straight guy our age would do this in public? Not that I'm objecting! When his arms were free Jerry pulled the hat off. "You sneak some sugar already, mate?" he smiled...

    [M&M2e] New Generation Legacy OOC

    Keeping sensors in place is a pretty good excuse for spandex, to be honest. The obvious alternatives would be straps and body tape. But with futuristic comic book sensors, who knows? Maybe the best way to do all the work is lead jock straps.

    [M&M2e] New Generation Legacy OOC

    To belated answer the same question, likewise. I always really enjoyed how things worked out where it felt like the characters were ordinary people who happened to be superheroes...although I might be biased in that Mark was generally not all that effective in combat. :)

    New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

    "Take it easy, mate," Jerry said with feigned gravity. He started to turn, "No one's got to get-" "Wasn't shooting me enough?!" Jerry chuckled. Cody looked absolutely preposterous, but it was still a good laugh. "Those can't really be his clothes. That'd be like me going around in a big...

    New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

    Jerry was already laying awake in his bed. Early morning practice was a fact of life and he'd adjusted to the time difference pretty well. He sat up and swung his legs out as he heard a quick rush of footsteps and the shower starting. Guess I'm not getting the first shower. At least I shouldn't...

    Just a heads up: I'm pretty sure I have an abscess tooth right now. Hoping I can get it taken care of today, but I might be whacky today or tomorrow regardless and thus not generally available in the unlikely event (what with us having not started back up yet) that I'm needed. This is so not...

    [M&M2e] New Generation Legacy OOC

    Brilliant! The best I can do is an alienist who thought that a painting on a wall was really a portal. (First adventure of the Age of Worms Adventure Path, if you're curious. The paintings were meant to be a clue so his focus on them wasn't completely unwarranted.) So he tried to walk through...

    RL: Now stand aside, worthy adversary. GL: 'Tis but a scratch. RL: A SCRATCH? Your GM's gone! GL: No it isn't! I'm in.

    So how many different game systems have you tried?

    I've been gaming since 1993. I have actually run or played the following: Rules Cyclopedia D&D D&D 2e D&D 3e oWoD Vampire/Werewolf (lasted one meeting) Alternity (the first game for which the rules made actual sense on first reading and the reason that to this day I prefer games with strong...

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    I'm no theologian, but if I read the SH correctly then Saizhan isn't meant to be understood (by mortal minds, anyway). It's deliberately ineffable.

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    I don't think so. My search of the first couple pages of the Tales of Wyre thread reveals no Tarn at all. Tahl was Eadric's friend who was ordered by the Inquisition to come after Nehael way back in the day. He died in the battle of Mourne, at which point Titivilius then came to begin his role...

    We are all trapped in the same maniac prison run by one-legged Swiss trapeze artists. Cuckoo clocks signal the daily yodeling and chocolate whip beatings. They hang us from our toenails and scream profanities at us in four languages. ...also they run up our cellphone bills.

    Do You Believe in Magic?

    And we can't do any of that until we have some kind of indications, which have not been forthcoming. There are people who believe in many things but that is not sufficient. People believe lots of things, both now and in the past, which we are fairly certain are false.

    Do You Believe in Magic?

    Sorry, but that's not how rational discourse works. Should you assert that something exists, we are not obligated to believe you. Quite the opposite, in the absence of any evidence that it does we are obliged to consider you at best mistaken. The default position is always unbelief. The burden...

    That's an excellent idea. I'll just- But my other arm's already out! How can I pull one off with nothing to pull with? Now I'm going to look silly forever. ...you planned it this way, didn't you? :)

    If only Hammerhead told me that before I ripped my arm out and beat myself with it! Oh, the humanity!

    I tried that but even after a severe beating I didn't feel better. Weird.
