It's possible. Then again, I've simply said I disagree with your interpretation of the family's powers compared to anything that exists in the real world.

Yes, those feats are impressive. No, they are not common in the slightest bit. Yes, they are a small fraction of what JJ can do which is the same thing as an impressive feat of strength. So it still stands very true that one doesn't go from struggling student to genius overnight. A statement...

And I'm saying they aren't the same and only similar on the surface. Awesome memory is indeed awesome. That's not what JJ can do. It's barely a fraction. People can lift some pretty awesome weights as well. But not nearly as much as what Jim can do.

Because it proves nothing and we don't know the whole story. Also, those situations are absolutely the exception especially in the case of the kid showing mastery of multiple advanced sciences.

I still do. The examples you brought up don't dispel the notion at all.

He's a kid that's had difficulties in school and has never stood out doing anything. These things happen. Also, he's a teenager. Not a ton of rational thinking going on at that age. Sounds pretty normal to me.

It's not pity, it's pride he wants them to feel for him.

I'd say they are simply a great start. Full buy-in from the players and a prepared host are the other keys. :)

No more than 6.

I agree about only having so much time to play. Every game I've played and run has been ~4 hours. That said, it's never a waste to have more to draw from as a player or giving the host more to work with. Also, it's only a waste if it was no fun writing or reading the questionnaire. ;)

I've played Dread a healthy number of times and there's no way I could create a character that fast. Not one that I'd have any investment in, at any rate. But then again, I'm the first to admit that it can take quite a while for me to find my character's voice. It usually takes at least 2...

Slacker! ;)

I agree. It's a terrible pick-up game. I spent about 2-3 hours coming up with the idea for my last two Dread characters questionnaires. I guess it could be played on the fly with very little prep by the players but that takes away a ton of the fun. That and how much can you care about your...

While the numbers of original 360s that died was disappointingly high, I wouldn't trust those numbers at all. Polls in magazines mean squat.

Oops.

Apparently, I've given you XP recently so instead you'll have to settle for an Awesome Point! :)

Sweet. :) I always do a terrible job of forgetting to bring minis so I just have the players use different colored dice and leave a small pile in front of them so I can tell who is who. :) Also, the OSH arena system has been a revelation for me and I will likely use it for any game requiring...

I can only pray Rel wrote it down! :D

Another successful gameday! Thanks to all involved! :)

The urination bar scene was classic. As was the final encounter. :)
