Generation Legacy: Part Three

[Hammerhead]

I haven't really run into anyone that doesn't like it. The only person that had a problem with it was one who got a bit upset by the errata to Aura. Then again the aura change went into the errata anyway, not just UP. People don't tend to like something that tones down something they were exploiting.

You know, you may as well just mention me by 'name' Shal. It's not like I'm going to be offended. And you and me are just going to have to disagree about the UP changes to Aura and the disproportionate increase in power cost for damaging vs. non-damaging Auras (well, non-damaging Auras with Sustained duration).

I'm not really convinced of the value of UP, and I think that (mechanically, at least) the quality of each M&M book following the core diminishes.

Btw Kain: what's pricier? The UP book price, or the cost of Elasticity in UP?

To my cheap...I mean, thrifty brethren: anyone else feel irrational surges of jealousy for those green-outlined Community Supporters?

I say we kill 'em.

I think it's a bit ugly, to be honest. Not the color or the contrast so much as the shape and how large it is, I think. It's like someone splattered a radioactive mouse with Community Supporter brand shoes.

That would be inhuman. Disgusting, even. Who would run the game? Have some practicality! Let's leave Agamon alive. He can watch.

Awful kind of ya...wait, watch? That's no fun...

I betcha there's a way to turn it off. I had to go into work today, and I couldn't even see them from my PC there...

I assumed being a GM that your greatest pleasure was watching the suffering of others. Want to help?

Well, I'll just watch if I can cackle menacingly and rub my hands while doing so.

Unselecting the Show Avatars option gets rid of the colored square and avy...hmmm.

Ultimate Spidey is the best of the bunch over all, with Ultimate FF next.. X men has good stories.. but consistency isn't so hot.

Ultimates.. I just wished the writers/artists understood the words 'Timely release'.

I've been reading New Universal (the old New Universe setting was a favorite) and I like most of what I'm seeing (with the possible exception of Justice as a nutjob RAMPANT serial killer.. Killing..yeah.. just not as much as he's doing)

Been tempted to do some serious backordering to get caught up on Hellblazer again.. missed out the time I was in spain.

I have so much reading to do, but when I'm more caught up, I want to get the Walking Dead trade. Sounds awesome.

And Ult Spidey is pretty good. Speaking of which, anybody watch Spectacular Spider-Man? I thought it'd be a dud, but it's not bad. I dunno how many times I've read/watched the different incarnations of the beginnings of Spider-Man, but it never seems to get old...

Wasn't talking about you, I was talking about someone in my table top group. The guy had 2 different auras up + immunity to ranged attacks. It was pretty ridiculous.

The character in question was a teleporter. The SFX for his ranged immunity was that portals would form temporarily and the attacks would pass through the portal. He then had a damaging aura and a teleportation aura that would send people attacking him to a random location, injuring them in the process. It was really nasty, and the only way he could afford all of that was the cheaper aura costs.

Oh I meant the power.. adding in all the ranks I'd need to do the same sort of thing. Might have her power 'evolve' into Elasticity later one.
