And I thought it was going to involve two guys wielding the same sword...

SAGA (marvel) - fundamentally flawed game system.

Espionage (HERO) 1983 - concealment skill

Just play Champions. Don't kid yourself. They're superheroes. They just don't wear capes.

By telling them that if they don't tell the GM in real-time, it doesn't happen. Do they honestly think that everyone in the world is a robot, existing purely to provide them with exp or resources when they get killed or cheated? The townsfolk might have access to bomb-sniffing dogs and other...

I played around with art markers back when they were stinky, toxic and bled like crazy. I have given up on them now that I have a decent art tablet and the software is more than capable of replicating marker effects. Software doesn't run out of pigment just when you need it. Also, markers...

After a little reflection, I believe the optimal construction pattern for an adamantium quarterstaff is as follows. Construct a number of strips of adamantium the length of the quarterstaff and the width of half the desired diameter. You'll need 18. Make triangular tubes by welding them...

It appears that you are fixated on problems that aren't actually there. You presume that the sheet of adamantium that makes up the surface of the quarterstaff has to be thick in order to be useful. This is a useful argument if you are arguing against the feasability of such a construction...

I think he is using a program called Painter with a toolset called markers. If you look at the background, some of the squiggles are overlapping eachother and lightening the color. This works with a computer paint program. It does not work that way with liquid pigments. (color in the physical...

Let's assume adamantium has a greater density than wood. (it doesn't float AFAIK) Then a hollow quarterstaff can be constructed with exactly the same mass as a solid wooden quarterstaff with the same exterior dimensions.

You don't want to make a hollow metal quarterstaff with weighted ends. It would fight like crap, even if the overall weight was identical to that of a wooden quarterstaff. A wooden quarterstaff has a uniform density throughout its length. A weighted quarterstaff does not. The weighted one...

Well, they let you make platemail out of adamantium, parts of which (bracers and greaves) are essentially tubes.

Volume for volume, aluminum is heavier than ash or maple. (woods commonly used in baseball bats) Yet, we have aluminum baseball bats. They're hollow. (they also break less often than their wooden counterparts) You could make an adamantium quarterstaff if it was hollow. Depending on how much of...

Bees seem to think that honey is food...

I figure the most overlooked inventions are typically ones that have no physical form or no one set physical form. Money, the abstraction of wealth that can be freely converted from form to form is pretty important. Intellectual Property, or the ability to take credit and benefit from...

Is salt 'food' ?

This thread reminds me of Densha Otoko.
