When my dad wanted to sell his house and move to Florida (as the Law requires when you hit a certain age), he got one of the Radon tests done. They put this bucket-sized meter in the basement where it sat for a while*. When they ran the tests, the results came back very mildly positive for Radon...

... the last Royal Governor of New Jersey! He established that it is called Taylor Ham, by Royal proclamation!

Listen, money is tight right now, I can't afford any clues. The tariffs alone are high here to the Land of Ignorance (i.e., New Jersey)!

But you only do that calculation once. In superhero games, you pretty much have to do recalculations.

I mean, Growth changed your body weight. And that one wasn't rare.

You have to recalculate if anything changes your weight, Strength, or Endurance. Which does happen with some powers...

Yes, but there's complicating factors. It's relative velocity, so if two characters are running at each other, you combine their speeds. And when you convert real-world things into game terms, you have to be comfortable doing some formulas; that's true of every game, though -- you can't just...

They do. But one of the things is most GMs constrain player character SPD to a small range (slightly larger in superhero games) just to make sure no one PC his the limelight. And you don't actually need a high SPD to reproduce most Speedster powers. It's a very flexible game. Once my players...

I think 4E with every splatbook probably had higher crunch, but AD&D 1E had more vanilla-straight-out-of-the-box. You had all those inconsistent subsystems detailed in the DMG and PHB; the systems in 4E were at least consistent. Mostly. That's why my group shifted to Champions/Hero System. Less...

Have you seen Martin Scorsese's Goncharov? It's my favorite of his films.

Oh, and if you can convince the township to reduce the minimum size of properties, like in my town, then you can put two huge houses on postage-stamp properties, and charge more! Charge $800K for houses in a $500K neighborhood. Oh, you won't sell them, but they will force up the value of your...

A soon as a home goes up for sale in my neighborhood, the bank buys it, tears it down, and builds a new one which stands empty. They are excellent tax writeoffs. Especially since the practice constrains the supply of new homes, keeping prices high. Highly recommended! Uh, if you're a bank, I guess.

I don't argue in bad faith. I argue in bad facts. But my opinions trump facts...

Squadron Sinister was Marvel, who were probably too big to easily threaten. Champions of Angor looks like it was DC.

The Acquisition Tango. Once DC won the lawsuit, they were sitting pretty. The courts had pretty much said, anybody who was sufficiently Superman-like was an infringement, and by that point every comics company had tried their hand at a knockoff. So, there was a great sell-off, with DC acquiring...

Well, of course you guys didn't have a great time. You blocked the door to the interior, that was where the Overnight Surprise was supposed to come from! You have to have the Surprise, it's not the authentic experience without it!

If you rub a sliced onion on your dice, they roll better. That's not my opinion, that's just facts! Science!

Technically, it's all you CAN eat, not all you DO eat. So, I think take out is reasonable...

The most powerful superhero character I ever ran in one of my games was Ordinary Guy. He had the singular power of being able to take out of his backpack anything that he might conceivably put into it. The group needs some sort of climbing rig? He can pull it out of his backpack. "How did that...

"In the arms of the angles..."
