Not by the rules. You could implement one via any number of house rules, but that'd make the power rank even more pointless than it already is, as you note. Invisibility is one power I'd like to see completely redone (incorporeal is another), both are heavily front-loaded. As written, this is...

There is no d20 logo on M&M. About the only definite similarity between M&M and Hero is that both are point-based, and both are produced by people who obviously love comic book superheroes. Otherwise, they're different both mechanically and conceptually, and many staples of Hero won't work in...

If by chance you have access to a game store with some older stock, the Dark Champions line for the Champions game (circa 1993ish - yeesh, I feel old) had a lot of good gaming information on crime cartels, gangs, etc. The two books with the most useful information are probably Dark Champions...

I thought it was about an average Enterprise episode - which means some of the cast really tried to make it good, but they were saddled with a ridiculously poor script. Maybe they'll clean house over the summer, wrap up this godawful "time travel wrecks the Federation... again!" plot with as...

Various rating methods try to capture VCR, Tivo, etc. numbers. The networks usually don't give them very much weight because advertisers assume people who tape a show tend to skip the commercials.

Well, then they'd just have to start with the regular soap opera nonsense. Clark Kent's life has always featured twists straight out of a soap (or sitcom), it's just that in the comic books that's mostly a sideline to the Superman stuff. This show seems to focus more on the Clark Kent side, and...

Spike have been showing the TNG and DS9 two-parters, which are generally better written and acted than Enterprise and don't need to pull nearly as many viewers to make money. Maybe the Enterprise team will hear the bell tolling and shape up. The only good news is that Friday night means they...

It's not necessarily a matter of strength in the Force, I believe the official EU background for Obi-Wan says he almost ended up in the Ag Corps before Qui-Gonn agreed to be his master. After the Jedi purge, you might run into an ex-Ag Corps who's pretty strong but didn't have the discipline or...

I'm not sure what A-channel is, but I assume it's owned by City TV. In southern Ontario, Enterprise was bumped from City to another of their stations, the New VR. They often shuffle shows around different stations based on US specials (like the Bachelor's two hour show last night). City also...

That's weird. All three parts were shown in Canada tonight (on YTV). Dunno if that's the first time they've aired or not.

The box lists 56K as minimum, broadband recommended. I don't personally know anyone who plays on a modem, but some folks who do have posted on the vault and the official boards, sounds like it's playable on 56K though a bit laggy in crowded situations.

Perhaps not as many voted for Rob as you might think; there were a few autovote sites using spoofed IP addresses to stuff the ballot box in Rob's favour. On various boards, I saw a bunch of people running them for Boston Rob, two for the other Rob, and none for any other contestants (though I'm...

The contestants actually sign a contract saying they won't share the prize. I would imagine that Burnett's lawyers will require that Amber have a pre-nuptial agreement in place that says Rob can't touch the money before handing her the cheque. But I would've liked to see the prize handed to...

Most MMORPGs wait about a year until their first for-pay expansion, so even if Cryptic try an early cash grab I wouldn't expect to see CoV in stores before Christmas. So I wouldn't base a decision on whether to pick it up on CoV. They'll probably have to add in a bunch more general content...

CoH is two tons of fun. The character builder is amazing, it's hard to settle on a single look ;) . Sidekicks are also a brilliant concept - basically, it allows a lower level character to team up with someone three or more levels higher and have their abilities increased to just below the...

The first 45 minutes were pretty contrived. Not to say it was bad, because that's pretty normal for Enterprise and some folks like that sort of thing, but most of what you missed was just a clumsy setup for the big fight. More of a descendant crew than a future crew, really. They were fairly...

Er, posters here can indeed see that Rupert and Jenna are perfectly content to do that. Tom obviously is not; he clearly believes he can get to the final three, otherwise he wouldn't have meekly voted off his only available ally in a 2 vs. 2 final four showdown. Shi Ann clearly does not believe...

Not only that, but

Yeah, I was pretty happy when Shi Ann won, and then pretty flabbergasted when they dumped Alicia. There was a comment at tribal council about nobody stepping up and taking a leadership role in determining the boot, and I guess this is the result. The early exit of prime schemers such as Richard...

The QLI folks seem to mostly cruise the Citizens of the Imperium boards, interested folks might have more luck getting solid info there: http://www.travellerrpg.com/cgi-bin/Trav/CotI/Discuss/ultimatebb.cgi One of the boards is dedicated to Twilight: 2000.
