I'm going to go with "that's the color he appears to be while invisible, when observed using the See Invisibility spell". After all, he never did anything that would break the invisibility spell he was operating under. Or we could chalk it up to a coloring change and go on. But I like my...

Or, to go along with the mystic spirit idea, have some kind of evil spirit (Djinn, Demon, Devil?) show up and say something along the lines of "I helped you out when you needed it, now you owe me a favor." Then it vanishes. Wait a few months, until everyone has nearly forgotten the event, then...

Okay, I recently moved to Texas and don't have a lot of my gaming books with me. Fortunately, I did bring my WFRPG (2e) book with me, because I've found a group of players willing to try it out. UNFORTUNATELY, I only have the core book with me, as I mentioned. I remember there being rules for...

If you're going with a retrovirus, I would borrow something from the "Wild Card" series that George R. R. Martin used to edit. (Bonus humor points, since that short story compilation series started from a Heroic P'n'P game). The retrovirus was developed by the university. However, one of the...

What I would *really* like to see is a division between "Natural" and "Synthetic" abilities. So Peter was an Empath naturally (hero parents) and could vaccuum up powers, using them at any time. But then his father permanently drained his abilities and he resorted to the formula to save his...

I like your ideas, sir, and would enjoy a subscription to your newsletter. :) I would actually go to the theater to see that movie, something I very rarely do.

Side thought that occurred to me... It would be an interesting reversal of the relationship if Ando succeeds in getting powers and Hiro stays powerless. Those two have always been my favorite pairing on the show, especially since they're such a (deliberate, I'm sure) echo of Primatech's "One...

I really like and agree with the first part -- show, don't tell. And for god's sake, don't make your AUDIENCE guess to fill in the blanks. Even having Arthur comment on how he knew when and where to be would be better than him just magically showing up. The Catalyst as plot macguffin was...

Several of you responded when I asked about gaming stores in the area, but I just discovered this group so I'm going to introduce myself again. :) I've been gaming since the early 80's, though I managed to miss almost all of 2nd edition while taking a "short" break. I like most versions of...

Thanks for the information, all! Nice to know I can go most anywhere and still find new folks to game with. Makes it feel like I've already got friends on the ground in the new locale. :)

Greetings all. I'm about to relocate from Indiana to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I'm going to be working on the north side of Dallas (Richardson, specifically) and am looking for the good FLG stores in the area. I'm sure, given the size of the area, there's at least a few gamers in that mix...

Lazybones? You still out there? I'm missing my updates... :) You've been an ongoing source of entertainment for a very long time, more regular than any other story hour author. I'd love to see more of this story, even if it's just enough to close out this module.

I think that might actually be a plot point. The argument -- no civilians with national secrets -- makes sense, but the timing is all wrong. Why kill Chuck before you have a bunch of new, trained agents running around with the same information in their heads (the agents that got blown up)...

Actually, that one felt pretty realistic to me, based on what we have seen of Sylar over the course of the show. He felt 'special' all his life, that he was meant for more. When his real mother was horrified by his abilities and he was rejected by (apparently) the only person that ever cared...

I'd like to think Latellia having a significant impact is due to all my proddings about LB's shoddy treatment of spellcasters... ;) And it's yet another great story from start to finish, Lazybones. This is still my favorite group of characters to flow from your (virtual) pen. Dar is...

Supposedly, it covers the actual beginning of the war against the machines. I've heard rumors that the trilogy will be set to culminate with the humans set to crush Skynet and the beginning of the 'time war' that is the rest of the Terminator movies, books, and shows. And if anyone has said...

Just in case neither of Wulf's references gave you a clear understanding... Psykers are individuals that can tap into the raw chaos of the Warp to accomplish some pretty incredible feats. Low-end psykers can heal, alter probability, generate lights, make themselves into near-perfect shots...

Sanctioned Psyker -- For when you absolutely, positively, want a glowing count-down clock above your head. It's a fun class to play, right up until you explode. :)

Heh. The first time I ran that module, my group did the same thing -- they spent two hours of real time grilling every turnip vendor and farmer in the city, CONVINCED there was a vast conspiracy. I would have been annoyed if I hadn't been enjoying playing all those clueless farmers and...

While I certainly don't dispute that a poor DM will make for a bad game -- which is true in any system -- I don't think 4E necessarily contributes in any way. In my Saturday group, a player that had previously DM'd only one session of a module has started running a campaign. It is completely...
