    20 New M&M Weaknesses (10pt/5pt/2pt)

    Hey there, AFAIK, according to the core book, all weaknesses are 10 points. Now I know that can be houseruled another way but IMO, that starts becoming too close to HERO's Disad Min/Maxing (i.e., like the guy who took "No Hands" and wanted a Disad Bonus for each finger). That, to me. is why...

    Grim Tales in Play?

    Hey Turanil, Thanks. Good review, very helpful. In fact, thanks all. As far as firearms stats, I got at least two other books I could use for that. In fact, I'm thinking that GT would be a good combination with either Forbidden Kingdoms or Adventure! Whaddya think? -SJ

    Grim Tales in Play?

    Hey there, Sooooo...how would I use GT in conjunction with normal D20? I am biased against D20 Modern and wouldn't mind using GT for a plup-style campaign, but I don't want to have to pick up a copy of D20M (or the Pocket Modern Handbook for that matter) just to use the GT toolkit. Any...

    Hey Whisper, As a (very) infrequent poster, lemme say that from what I have seen around here, you have been a definite asset to ENWorld and will be sorely missed. Enjoy your much-deserved time off and I hope to bump into you sometime. Reaper: Shut up. You can say that again. -SJ

    Player Problem, need advice

    Hey 'Lancer, Sorry, I got a knot in my gut over that. IMO, if he wants that kind of anal gaming, he should be playing Champions (or Fantasy Hero, if he's not into supers-not to dispariage HERO gamers-I'm one myself). If I was DM, his kiester'd be at the curb so fast it'd take his head a week...

    "older" gamers

    Hey Dona, It's a struggle. I have no regular gaming group at the present time, am underemployed and, while I don't really worry about the age gap (I'm 47), I do have a serious problem with the maturity level/mental stability of the folks I find. For a corrolary article, I refer you to a...

    Het there, I also recommend Paint Shop Pro. Just upgraded to V. 8 and I'm extremely pleased with it. It does everything I want and it uses most Photoshop plugins. All that for a price considerably lower than PS (I think the MSRP is about 120.00 but I'm not sure as I got mine for 49.95-I've...
