    Giant unstopable robot- HELP!!!

    Personal feelings aside re- The Feds, the campaign is suppose to be a Four Color, Silver Age, Black and White campaign- so says the GM. Me I prefer areas of gray, as does he, but this campaign is suppose to be about good vs evil. So I really have to push my own feelings aside and play it like...

    Giant unstopable robot- HELP!!!

    RTFM? Really Tall Floor Model? Sorry, not sure what that mean. We are hoping that the FBI- in research mode at the Fenris base, will find something like that and alert us to the location. Presently the group is trying to deal only with Mr Roboto Near as I can tell or recall he's fully...

    Giant unstopable robot- HELP!!!

    Dynamo used a Hero Point to try and kill Mr Roboto's power, but it didn't work, Player was rolling crappy and the GM was rolling good. Currently Dynamo is one of the characters that is out of Hero Points and the GM said that we would be starting where we left off- so no regen on the Hero...

    The "Gimmick Character" Problem

    Suggestion- Find out what kind of character he's gonna play in the next session and make the campaign very difficult for him to get such a character into play in that session- do not exclude him from the campaign. Example- he wants to play a Wyvern riding Ranger/Archer. Okay, then entrance to...

    View your NPCs

    Just curious how you all viewed NPCs- from the characters stand point and the Players. Have a few NPCs that I will use as examples of what I would like to know- Milo- Halfling- Rog/Ftr- cool fellow, started as a PC the Player dropped from sight and Milo stuck around. I think the character is...

    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    Ditto- both are good authors and very smart. Should be cool. You should contact Sean for Play Test- he likes you and would if you asked (course you haven't play tested in a few years- maybe not). Dude, say it ante so- you prefer your D&D campaigns played and GMed in D&D? ;)

    Species Names for Predators & Aliens

    A more interesting question Back when Aliens came out a buddy of mine and I were talking about the evolution of the Aliens. They seemed to not reproduce through the act of sexual intercourse, meaning that they have to go the face hugger route. With just a 24 hr + or - time table from Face...

    Giant unstopable robot- HELP!!!

    Actually it has no fuel and can't fly (if it could we (Spinerette and Corsair would be watching the robots flight on CNN, while Palasade and Dynamo battled it somewhere- they fly faster then Corsaid and Spin can't fly). Its been using "jump jets" to "leap" a couple hundred feet at a time...

    Giant unstopable robot- HELP!!!

    Sorry about the misunderstanding, I was kind of expecting it to explode until I realized my error in that thought. Don't know about the size of the port, however the robot is only 30' tall and I would guess the port isn't all that big, I mean I would expect it to be about the size of a fighter...

    CIA Training Like Jason Bourne

    Do they really teach that any place other then Hollyweird? I would think playing Bourne you would need incrediably smart players (I think that excludes me), a GM that is more will ing to accept outlandish plans or courses of action- Player- "I will shot the steel propane tank with bird shot to...

    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    I guess I just haven't spent the time learning the system to see that. d20 Modern appears lacking in a lot of things- realistic fighting rules, automatic weapons fire, I like skills heavy systems so that too is lacking in d20, just to name a few. Mind you I am not saying that d20 sucks, I am...

    Familiars in the campaign

    Results Have a couple of familiars running through our campaigns, they seemed never to get used for more then their special abilites, not even recon. So I get the idea to send Harmon forward- do a little recon, Harmon steps onto a bridge and it sets off a traps that kills him (he was a...

    Giant unstopable robot- HELP!!!

    Here I am about to shoot myself in the foot ;) Okay the fuel access idea is the only one we have that has any hope of working (in my mind). However who here would store a lawn mower or a car for ten years with fuel in the tank- okay, Professor Q never actually got this thing working and...

    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    Well said- something I wanted to add (seeing Coyote's mention here), is that in d20 you can't just get in a fun little bar fight. When you hit the level these characters are at in a d20 campaign a fun little bar fight turns into a earth shaking event or 20th lvl fighter vs a couple of...

    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    First off- The campaign we played was/is a once in a life time campaign. Secondly- the rules for d20 don't seem to make the leap that GURPs does. THe gun rules are pretty lame, location shots are non exsistant, the rules work well for the genre, but not a cross over in d20- meaning I like D&D...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    GURPs campaign of mine Villians arrived on the world from another dimension and began raising dead to steal the souls of the living. With their souls missing and placed in large "glass" balls the body of the victim would seek others to steal the souls of hand the cycle would get bigger and...

    If a DM can't cheat, can a player cheat?

    Been running a campaign for a few months the characters are headed for 6th lvl. I have been kinda stagnet about ideas and just running it until I figure out what to do next. I have a kinda loose idea regarding the cleric and her father and a whole campaign thing, its pretty loose, but its...

    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    None taken. Always thought that GURPs didn't take off because of how public D&D was- stronger, bigger company. GURPs needs a number of things- we house ruled Blunt Damage- getting in a fist fight won't kill you if you survive the fight, but it can slow you down. Not real familar with d20 but...

    Bearded Devil & Summoning

    Which tells me that I forgot :o he's started using the 3.5e Summon Monster tables. Dam I hate all these House Rules, can't remember what's what. :confused: Thanks, Daemonslye :cool:
