Umm, yeah. Traveller was designed back in the day when you couldn't have good game design without throwing in some physics and calculus.

Or we could do the long-anticipated, often-delayed Traveller game, I was going to run.

I wouldn't mind running a superhero game, using Mutants and Masterminds or Silver Age Sentinels. I'm really enjoying M&M, but I have given out several copies of the stingy gamer edition of SAS D20 and the Tri-Stat DX rules, which are very similar to the SAS Tri-Stat rules. And in honor of the...

Hey guys. Thanks for asking. She is doing OK and hopefully will be released from the hospital Monday. She is actually feeling worse today, but the doctor chalked that up to toxins being released into her bloodstream from the infection.

Barring any chaos or catastrophes, I should be there.

As of 7:45, they are now planning to keep her overnight. I can't see making it to the game today. Sorry guys. The kid is still asleep and she is still in the ER, but once they more her out, I plan to be at the hospital.

6:30 a.m. and I had hoped to be at work already. The wife is just getting seen at the ER. Long flippin' night. (Obviously, I am home with the still-sleeping kid, who has no idea what has been going on tonight.)

3 a.m. now and the wife is off to the Emergency Room. No idea how today is going to play out.

Hey Allen, I want to come, but my wife has been really sick for a while now and I had to take a half day off work today to run her around to the doctor, then the pharmacy, then back to Promptmed, then back to the pharmacy. So, now, I need to head back to the office in the morning to get all my...

I'm planning to be a straight-ahead street samurai, cyber'ed to the gills, amped up on speed and looking for trouble. Hope someone in the group can be smart enough to point him in the right direction.

I'll take my rules with me down to New Albany today and try to come up with a character. No ideas yet.

Are you talking Mongoose's OGL Cyberpunk? And would this be in place of Vince's Saturday game.

HEY! I resemble that remark.

Well sure. And Batman carried a gun way back when. But these characters were made in the late 1930s and early 1940s. So their time being rather cold-blooded was a tiny fraction of their existence. For the last 60 years or so they have had these moral codes that involve what in Champions you...

I don't think that is the case at all. I went in wanting to like the movie. I mean, I REALLY like superhero movies. I loved all three X-men movies and both Spider-mans. I enjoyed Batman Begins and the Fantastic Four. I'm really looking forward to Ghost Rider. So if the point is to watch the...

Yuck indeed. I should say again, that I don't think the themes I am talking about here were intentional by the filmmakers or actors. It is all meant in the "good, clean hero" way, I am sure. Maybe I'm just getting so cynical, but I just kept watching the movie and thinking that these actions, if...

I just go to the movie to be entertained too. Which is why I hate it so bad when an "entertaining" movie jerks me out of my entertainment mode and forces me to deal with the creepiness, like this movie did. There are things in this story that are just wrong.

I didn't think your post was out there. I just need to ruminate on it a bit more before making any comments. Off the cuff, I don't want to read or watch stories written by people whose idea of heroes are people like our current leaders. Celebrating this "new" America would be unbelievably...

Well, add that to the list then of things that make you scratch your head in this movie, i guess.

And what really disturbs me is that I think this movie really messes with the core of the character in a way that, to me, is completely unnecesary. I just don't know how they can do another movie that has anything to do with the character people know and love. I just think that superheroes...
