    [Sci Fi Channel] "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?"

    After watching them all get new costumes, I couldn't help but think of The Incredibles: "This is a hobo suit dahling. You can't be seen in this. I won't allow it. You need a new suit. It will be bold! Dramatic! Heroic! NO CAPES!" Man, you go Monkey Girl (dragged around for like 10 - 15 mins)...

    [Sci Fi Channel] "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?"

    I just caught the tail end of a rerun and have to agree with the others. I really hope Mr Clean aka Iron Enforcer goes soon. He just doesn't seem like the type of character Stan would use. Those with M's do - Major Victory naturally, Monkey Woman and Fat Momma but Cellphone Girl seems like a...

    I dunno. Looks like negativity has been reinforced to me. ;)

    Fey from other cultures

    What he said but here's some more info. Tanuki tend to have a tendency to play pranks which can be harmless or downright malicious as well. Whenever they'd cast a spell, leaves ended up as a side effect like Hachi (Miroku the monk's friend) from InuYasha and in Super Mario 3, especially when...

    Lady in the Water Predictions and possible spoilers

    Haven't seen it tho I think more of the blame should go towards whomever makes the trailers not MNS. Course it gets cloudy if he's got to approve it before it gets aired. However some 'showmanship' has to be used otherwise the film won't make money since no one's butt is in the seat. PT Barnum...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer

    I don't think so. The only crossover game I can recall was Battletoads vs Double Dragon.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer

    Actually I think they're closer to around 5' (I think the RPG said so). In any case, in the words of that kid from The Incredibles: That was TOTALLY WICKED! It brings back many fond memories of the original Eastman n Laird comic and yes, even the TMNT rpg. I just hope they cut out the...

    Why _DON'T_ You Buy Dragon Magazine?

    Hopefully I didn't skip past this in the umpteen pages but... I tend to buy Dragon more often, especially if something in the mag interests me. Ditto for Dungeon, which could be tweaked to fit into almost any setting. I tend to skim through everything and anything that catches my attention gets...

    help me find a name for "warforged" in my campaign

    Didn't Dragonstar have a mechanical race called soulmechs? How about: (c)rystal (o)perated (g)nomish (s)imulacrum or COGS? Unfortunately like many of our own words, it eventually degenerates into a slur. Depending upon how they fight, the opposition might refer to them as Rippers or...

    help me find a name for "warforged" in my campaign

    How about: Karakuri - basically a Japanese wooden 'robot' / toy. Actually lots of nifty ideas in here http://www.karakuri.info/ Haro - the unofficial Gundam mascot that looks something like a tennis ball http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haro_%28anime%29 Vitruvian - other than artwork and some...

    #119 Doomsday Quite possibly Superman's greatest foe as he did something even Lex Luthor couldn't: kill Superman. He is the living embodiment of evolution for each injury makes him more resistant and each death makes him harder to kill / immune to injury and will even hyperevolve to counter a...
