EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

[Calinon]

Mimic: Johan (Powers, Feats)

Now taking bets on how long those stay with him.

 

[Velmont]

The longuest would be when I'll meet Wen, but I have the feeling it will be before that... Anyway, the only time I really used the power of someone else was Loki's powers in the little fight between us and Split power, but that last one was more a bane than a good thing, so the 80 points spend on mimic are pretty useless up to now.

 

[Calinon]

Things were looking good for you being useful in issue 2, then someone wandered off alone. Issue three was also looking good, then you went and failed that dang saving throw.

 

[Dalamar]

Damn, Calinon, I like the game and the happenings. I've now twice felt all warm and fuzzy over having the armor/mental protection. Keep it coming (preferrably in a nonlethal fasion)

 

[Mordane76]

Elicit tolerance to absence of sleep.
Mmm.. not gonna happen.

I'm going for the "Can't Sleep... Clowns Will Eat Me" Motif...

 

[Velmont]

Hey! Jackal isn't onboard? Where did he hide?

 

[Agamon]

He's already over there.

 

[buzzard]

OK what year is this set in again?
An 18 hour trip to China in the future? What, are they taking the long route?
Heck the X Men make it in better time in comics set in today.

I truly do love the storyline, but I think you need to work on the future tech.

Actually... they are taking the long way.

It's 2120. Many things have changed, many things have not. There are hover cars, but most people use vehicles with tires. There is limited forms of AI, but most people use high speed networks and basically personal computers like today, only more powerful. There are laser guns, but half the world still uses bullets. There are robots, but most of the time, humans are the main forces. So it is a world in transition. Remember, in the 50's, people expected us to be living on the moon, and driving flying cars. 50 years later, that's not even remotely close. A mixture of war and strife and peace has somewhat stagnated tech. It's a mixture of high and low tech. The world is still catching up. That and I don't want to adjust a ton of gear listed in the books to higher ranks just because of the time line.

The EPIC Jet, well this one anyway, is an incredible piece of equipment. It could blast off at twice the speed of sound and get there in less time, especially if they took a straight route. However, they can't for a few reasons.

One, they have to pass through restricted airspace if they go east (Africa) or go around. Two, they have to give a wide berth to the unknown land mass and its energy field, as well as Japan and its energy field. Both cause planes to crash. And three, use of alternate energy sources has made for slower engines that are more fuel efficient (I just made that one up... wait, I make everything up!).

Anyway, try not to view it like a futuristic super-high-tech world. Folks in the 50's expected us to be driving flying cars by now, and living on the moon. Technology has a way of sometimes slowing down in development. Try not to worry about it too much, or rather, think of it as similar to today, but with some perks

Ironically, Cal is the same guy that though an hour from New York to Colorado 10 years in the future was putzing along...
