    First thoughts on Superman Returns

    I don't really understand that either. The more I think about this movie, the more disturbed I get. There is just a really creepy vibe about it, but you're stalking comment isn't far off the mark. The movie doesn't seem to think that Superman is a stalker, I think his interest is supposed to be...

    First thoughts on Superman Returns

    My very first thoughts upon leaving Superman Returns (with possible spoilers in here, so be warned.): 1. What the hell was that? Seriously. Do I even know that guy? That was supposed to be the same Superman we know from movies, comic books and television? This guy is a creep, when you...

    Superheroes, hero points and M&M

    Well, both games ARE made by Green Ronin. So it would make sense that they are related.

    Superheroes, hero points and M&M

    I was just reading the Mutants and Masterminds segment about Hero Points and thought I would share with the group how cool of a feature it is. Hero Points are almost exactly like Fate Points in Conan, Action Dice in Spycraft or Unearthed Arcana or the Dramatic Editing in White Wolf's Trinity...

    GenCon Indy 2006

    I don't mind at all. As long as I have a bed to myself and a path to the bathroom, I'm cool.

    GenCon Indy 2006

    Well, the situation as it sits right now. I have a double bed room at the Marriott again, same as last year. My brother is planning on coming up and staying all week, along with a friend of his, Lord Fyrestryke and my son on Saturday evening. I don't mind cramming in as many people as we can...

    Crap I bought, and 6-24 games

    I'm a little iffy on playing this week myself. I wouldn't mind getting together earlier in the day, even if it just to BS, but I might have plans for later in the evening.

    Crap I bought, and 6-24 games

    Went down to New Albany for a few days to visit my mom and brother. Made my trip to the usual spots. Raked in some loot, spending money I didn't have on things I didn't need: * "Demon: The Fallen" Core book: Playing demons in White Wolf's World of Darkness. * "Cyberpunk" boxed set and then...

    Help with a city name...

    I think I am leaning toward Port Liberty, because it kind of matches up with my already written history about the city's importance as a port during the Revolution (and because it wouldn't require much changing to my already-existing graphics.) But I will probably use some of the other...

    Help with a city name...

    Ooh, I like "Liberty Harbor." That might be the name.

    Help with a city name...

    Heya folks. I am really thinking about brushing the dust off of my previous work on a superhero RPG city that my friend Charlie and I started about seven years ago. I have it on good authority that there is a deluxe, leatherbound edition of Mutants and Masterminds coming my way for Father's Day...

    A superheroic thought

    Well Mark, it has seemed pretty apparent that you have also been growing less and less interested in the genres usually covered by RPGs also. I mean, your largely fruitless search for "good" fantasy and sci-fi books, could be an indicator that as a whole these genres just don't interest you...

    A superheroic thought

    Sure, that would be the idea. Maybe the heroes of the 40s put a villain into suspended animation in 1942 and in the next session the same villain comes back to attack the heroes in the 1970s, or 1990s. It would be an interesting sort of continuing plot. With references back and forth between the...

    Sci-Fi Gaming

    I would still like to play a Firefly/Serenity-like Traveller game. Without the zooms, shaky cams and such, of course.

    A superheroic thought

    Not so much. My favorite parts of RPGs are the story-telling and role-playing aspects. The way that for a while, you get to be someone else, to go somewhere else, to sort of live in a fantasy or superhero setting or what have you. And as a group to get together and tell an interesting story...

    A superheroic thought

    Then, we could play a game in the modern era, knowing the heroes are descended from the first heroes in the game world (such as a JLA game). Or we could play a golden age game AS the first heroes (like the Justice Society). Or what a Silver Age, cosmic level game (such as the Justice League of...

    A superheroic thought

    What if: the players, instead of coming up with a concept for a single character, came up with a 2, 3, or even 4 generational concept? Maybe a line of heroes stretching from today to the mid 70s, to the 1940s? An example, that I created for my Liberty City setting: The Eagle: (1930s) A Jewish...

    A superheroic thought

    So, along the lines of what we have talked about before about playing a superhero game... One of the comic concepts that has always interested me is the idea of "legacy heroes." Those heroes that are so iconic that they inspire followers and descendants for generations afterwards. The kind of...

    Movies in Today's World

    I was just griping about this at work the other day. The movie industry complains that piracy is killing their business, but I am pretty sure it is the horrible environment seeing a movie has become that is doing them in. Especially now that films are released on DVD only a few months after they...

    In two weeks (6/10)

    Not having read to see if there are any differences between Black Co. and standard D&D's point buy system, but in standard D&D you start with an 8 in each of your stats and work up from there. And of course in standard D&D point buy the cost goes up the higher the stat goes up. I'm assuming...
