Another vote for Mutants and Masterminds.
Our group has been playing it for close to two years now and there are some members who are even converting their D&D games to the MnM system.
MnM uses a HERO-lite power system and adds on the basic d20 mechanics. Everything is point-based. No...
I used to play Aphex Twin Select Ambient Works volume 2 during my Call of Cthulhu games.
It's very quiet, subtle, and just off enough to make everyone particularly unsettled. Very effective for a horror game.
The Thing - FF
[ooc: rolled a 1 Will save.]
A smile eases across The Thing's face, his eyes almost rolling into the back of his rocky, craggy head.
He lets out a long breath and turns to his old friend.
"Reed. I love you man."
Rats. I haven't been reading Ultimate FF so I didn't know Doom wasn't introduced yet. (How can they have 10 issues of ultimate FF without having DOOM? Heresey!). Would the Thing even know who he is? If not, I can retcon my post, no biggie.
The Thing -- F4
"What are you talkin' about you crazy blue Elf! He's obviously the one who brought us here!"
The Thing turns to face Doom and cracks his many knuckles.
"And if he knew what was good for him, he better start explainin' things straight up. Did you hear me?! I'm gonna pry that...
The Thing -- Fantastic Four
The Thing stands up and cocks a quizzical eyebrow at the strange energy pulsating across the park. He knocks Mr. Fantastic across the arm with a heavy hand.
"Reed! What did you do now?!"
He catches a glimpse of She-Hulk, her hair beginning to stand on end from...
The Thing -- Fantastic Four
"The bathtub ain't my ride an' you know it! It's Reed's!"
The Torch enters the room and chides the Thing into coming upstairs to the lab with him.
"Beat it, Flame-brain! I'm havin' a conversation on the phone!"
The Torch pesters the Thing until he finally...
The Thing
Ben Grimm leans back in a large leather chair, A stubby cigar poking out of his mouth and he laughs. He swings the phone receiver around and blurts.
"HAh, yeah Luke you know what I'm talkin' about... So, how's that Hero for Hire business doin' lately? ... Good, that's good to...
That Simpson would be me.

Count me in Kev!! I'd definitely be interested.
But all the characters in the Marvel Universe? Wowsers, so many to choose from...
I'm leaning towards The THING cause he rocks. It's Clobberin' Time!!!
Say it ain't so!
I still remember being jazzed about the DNF dev team switching to the Quake engine. I thought "Wow, that's a big time hit. At least they're taking their time and doing it right." 6 years later.... Is 3D realms still using the Quake 1 engine? :)
We can always recruit some...
Kneecap's lower lip begins to wobble. His big doe-like eyes look up towards the sky in a plaintive gesture... Perhaps the gods were listening...
"Cancelled!? But I was having so much fun!. And the IK books are <I>finally</I> coming out this month!"
A soft gobber tear rolls down his face.
Kneecap
After loosing his bullet, Kneecap starts doing some kind of strange gobber dance. His legs hop up and down and his arms and hands flail wildly about. In some way, he looks like he's padding himself down.
Brandy can get sticky, and delicate Gobber skin may react harshly if the brandy...
Kneecap
Kneecap wipes some of the sticky brandy off of his brow and hops into the room. He shudders at the sight of the ghoulish figure, but is able to keep his composure. But who knows for how long...
He twirls a sling and lets loose a bullet.
[OOC: BAB+3, Sling (1d3 dmg, X2, 0 lbs...
Kneecap
"Ah! The prisoners have liquified! No! "
As Gavyn enters the room, Kneecap rushes over to him, tugging at the trim of his coat.
"Gavyn, Gavyn, there were whimpers coming from the caskets! Whimpers! There were people trapped inside! But alas, they are no more. Perhaps the...
My posts are going to be more infrequent as well for the next few weeks. Beta period, etc, blah, blah, long ass hours, etc, blah.
I'll try to keep tabs on things, but if I don't check in for a while, feel free to NPC poor ol Kneecap.
OOC: Ach, sorry! Didn't realize I was holding things up.
Eve suddenly realizes the large bomb in the center of the room, and mutters a quiet "damn". Shadow one jerks away from the bomb before it can do any damage. This'll require a little bit of finesse...
Shadow 2 moves towards Die Hand...
