I guess we know what the Charming PD's chief does in the off season. ;)

Now I'm reading The Girl Who Played With Fire.

I was always fond of #60 - the expanded elven gods, Flight of the Boodles, guns, and the Jester class. It was an April issue.

There is no base attack bonus in M&M 3e. The reason there are 8 attributes in 3e is that there were really 8 in 2e, too -- Attack and Defense were effectively attributes, they were just rated directly on the bonus rather than (bonus*2+10). 3e took Attack & Defense, and split up their...

I'm not aware of anything that meets those criteria -- high hp, high AC, DR, fast healing, low damage, and a natural beast is probably not possible. The DR/fast healing thing doesn't occur in any animals AFAIK, and not many magical beasts -- not that magical beasts are very "natural" anyways...

The split seemed kind of forced to me; some of the pro-registration side's measures (rounding up superheroes and throwing them in the Negative Zone, creating a crazy Thor clone, etc.) seemed too villainous to be in character. That colored my reaction.

The "Dammit, but that setup was ham-handed, and this should be better" side. Neat idea, but the execution was lacking, IMO. I mostly liked Dark Reign, though (except for some details, like Ares and Sentry).

Yeah, I was thinking about going last year, but I bought a house instead. I will have to see if I can afford it this year. I'm going to DunDraCon next month, and want to try to go to KublaCon again in May, so it'll be iffy. Meanwhile, back on topic, Chthonian Stars uses Mongoose's Traveller...

Yeah, I keep wanting to try CthulhuTech, but I've never been able to get into a game at a con. Not a lot of sessions at the local cons, unfortunately. And I'm not that big of a Cthulhu fan, in practice (my gut reaction to the whole "you can't win" is Kirk-esque, shall we say?).

Ooh, that sounds interesting. I will have to check that out.

If you are GMing, I'd go with the Bestiary first. If you are just playing, I'd go APG. I'd get Bestiary 2 before the GMG, especially if you have access to a previous edition's DMG or are using modules for adventures. If you can deal with PDFs, the PDFs of the hardcover books are $10 each, so...

It closed a few years before B. Dalton's folded. Nah, Northridge Mall in Salinas, CA, birthplace of John Steinbeck, where our new motto is: come for the lettuce, stay for the gang war. ;)

I still have books I bought last year, when the B. Dalton's in the local mall closed down. Sadly, that was the only general bookstore in Salinas. I think there's a Spanish language bookstore and one Christian bookstore (which looks like it has more Stuff than actual books), and that's it. The...

Uh . . . we're mapping the Empire's prisons?

The carnies were amusing. I want to see them team up with Orwell and fight crime. :)

Finished First Lord's Fury and Side Jobs -- I am now all out of Butcher to read. Also, spoiler: Started Tarzan of the Apes, which I haven't read before, despite having read tons of ERB in junior high.

I'm sad that they won't be releasing new minis, but not terribly so. I haven't bought too many in several years, since 4e was released. They had some stuff I wasn't fond of, combined with my gaming groups ignoring 4e, and me not having as much money to buy 'em, so I ended up cutting back. I've...

I'm not convinced CMB/CMD is actually a better deal. It seems just as possible to get characters with impossible-for-others-to-touch CMB/CMDs as it is with grapple, and the CM system spreads the problem to trip, disarm, etc. Plus, you'd have to figure out how Defense interacts with CMD, and what...

In general, defuse, and then he and my character become members of different parties (i.e., depending on whom the rest of the party supports, one or the other of us is playing a new PC). Specifics depend on the particular character involved. The last PC I played would laugh and point out that...

Maybe the double Community Supporters started as bronze-level supporters, then upgraded to silver (getting a Community Supporter for each), and Weem just went directly to silver?
