    Zombies

    Wow. Ok, I'll take a crack at some of these, but I'll take them out of order: This is the question I'd start with - First you have to determine what created the zombies. Some examples I can recall from movies, etc., are: Hell is full - Night of the Living Dead/Dawn of the Dead/Day of the Dead...

    Discoveries/Impressions

    A few things I saw on a quick glance through the new books (don't have them with me for exact quotes): The new Grapple rules - these looked alot better than the old ones. New maneuvers, moving while grappled. stabbing the other person with their own light weapon, etc. - good stuff! Now two...

    Best system to run an X-Men type game?

    Actually there is. If you look on pg 94 in the M&M rulebook, there is a group of paragraphs under the Variable Effects heading. This lays out how to construct a power which duplicates a HERO system power pool (in fact, the Variable Effect rules are how the Gadgets power in M&M is constructed).

    [M&M] Building a better Brick

    I don't think it's that bad. Let's look at Minotaur: Protection 10, Damage save 5. Shot by a mook with +3L pistol - no damage. Protection is higher than the PL of the attack so it bounces. Shot by mook with +3L pistol with (house ruled) Penetrating Attack - Protection 10 converts to Amazing...

    [M&M] Building a better Brick

    Actually, the best house rule I've seen for Penetrating Attack (and the only I think I'm going to adopt) is that it converts powers like Protection, Force Field & Armor to an equivalent level of Amazing Save - DMG. This takes powers that might normally stop an attack cold (like a mook with a...

    [3.5] In the Works - Miniature pictures

    Umm, the leg joints are fine, it's the way the upper thigh bends on the back legs that looks painful. As a comparison, view the attached pic of our stallion. Note how thin his back ankles look. He weighs about 1000 lbs (450 kg for you metric system types) and his ankles/leg are just fine, no...

    I cast "Raise Dead Film"

    To each their own. I didn't particularly feel that it was a gratuitous scene, but felt it did have merit to be at that place in the story. It showed how "screwed up" the villian was (in the methods he used), it was there to revolt us (the audience) and it was also there as a commentary. You'll...

    BoVD: Babau - CR7???

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: BoVD: Babau - CR7??? Doc, you're making even wilder assumptions in your post. 1) Players go in initiative order. If one of them has a sword melted, do you think the others are going to go "let me try mine too"? At best maybe one weapon damaged/destroyed before the...
