From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

Enough people are complaining about the sig thing that maybe they actually won't touch the sigs. We can only hope... and try to fight back!

Sigs...

Actually... They are going to tweak sigs from what I read, but they might not end up eliminating them. Supposedly Morrus found a provision in vB that lets him limit the size of sigs depending on user status (a content size and content type limit). However, who knows how they will limit it. They are also actually going to enforce the same policy at CM.

Let's just hope they realize that making the main third party DnD site partial-pay is a bad thing for the hobby especially considering that the features we get here for pay are extremely limited.

Why were you ordering robotic hardware?

My little brother has that middle school project where you have to come up with a new invention. Instead of thinking up something simple like the rest of the class he and his friend wanted to make "a robot that shocks people" or "a robot that could flip you off". I told him that that's going to be difficult (and he can't get away with it) so he decided just to make one that is autonomous and ideally able to avoid hazards.

I ended up getting a chassis that comes with an engine and a motor controller addon for my arduino (thought I'm not sure what else and how many other wires we would buy). However, we can dissect some cheap remote control cars and by a servo if we wanted to go the ghetto route.


Oh. Also, the company sent me an email saying "Oops, we didn't listen to your message before shipping your order. Just refuse it and we'll refund when we get it back."

Problem is this: I made two orders and UPS normally just drops them off and drives off.

Ouch, that is why I generally prefer buying things from B&M stores unless it can not be helped. I feel like such a Luddite when I say that around here.

This is just not my day.

The Atomic Thinktank (Mutants & Masterminds site) thinks I'm a kid and refuses to admit me without a signature from my guardian.

Tried to get some M&M stuff from here and I was told I do not have "permission"


For the love of the game! Gimme a break!

Wtf?!?! Time to a new email address on yahoo or gmail and try again. That or the site is acting real buggy.

I still have not found exactly what I am looking for but after googling I found a site about how easy it is create a character.

Looks much like Champions with Fuzion rules which should be easy. (it's what I used for superhero RPGs in the past)


Can't wait for the book.

Already have a setting / tone in place.

Vilgilantes are illegal. If one has superpowers, they need to A) keep it to yourself B) join the government C) Join power controlled agencies for public "entertainment"

15 years since limited world war that used super powered agents.

New city (Island City) is built within view of ruins of prior city that was destroyed by super powered beings.


Kids get to decide what to play-

Government controled agent (generally seek & destroy vigilantes and foriegn superpowers)

State Government group (use powers to "repay" state for prior generations misuse. Use your powers as a state worker (aka slave). This can include Powerball (think football but with superpowers) of which all proceeds go to fixing city (and line politician's pockets)

Vigilante. Seek out and defeat supervillians while avoiding government contracted "hero" hunters.


Already lining up villians and their motivations based on the comics I used to create and draw when a teenager and in early 20's. Looking forward to revisiting The Ranger, The Survivor, Super Soldier, The Mutant men, America's Best and for bad guys Malign and his Turbulant. (good memories)

I'm beginning to ramble (2:30am will do that to a fella). Later.

Appears the move to Media has thrown the Hive.......

 

[Relique du Madde]

Na, I think it's the looming spector of the Easter bunny... holding an iPAd*.


So, I ended up getting 1 month hof Champions online. What is automatic FAIL is how you can't subscribe only using your free month and you have to supply a creditcard or a game card.

Once you leave the tutorial area it's more of the same thing... however now you can fly, run super fast, jump high, or teliport and make stuff. It's a difference, but not much.

If anything the game seems like it will be more of a casual game then something like WoW which steals your soul.
