Do they have to be human? Or is it simply that they can't be supernatural?

 

[Relique du Madde]

The can be "super natural" but not super human and they can't use "magic" or god like powers in the fight . If the person suffently picks up powers on the fly just to solve a situation then they are not allowed. Ie. "I can turn back time by running very fast... but I won't ever do it again since there is no need to."

I'm thinking Linda Carter as wonder woman for the Xena characters slug fest and Michelle yeoh as Shien Lien will ref the Group C match.

Ok, short dead 90s series, ...Sgt. Eve Edison, from the 90s series Mann & Machine. She's a police android, it was amusing, and she could kick ass. I'm pretty sure NO ONE will remember it.

I remember it. Yancy Butler was Eve right?

Correct! Give that man a cupie doll.

I give most sci-fi shows a chance. That looked like it could be good.

So I played my first full session of D&D 4E today. Not enough to make a judgment. So far I'm thinking that I'd rather stick with what I've already sunk so much time and money into.

Yea. I managed to pull together a gaming group...

One hasn't played since before 3.5.
One hasn't played ever.
One is a hardcore ROLE-player.

But the best thing is, I hang with these people every weekend anyways, so we can take one in every few for casual gaming.
To clarify, in that previous order they are:
My girlfriend
My friend, who is also the boyfriend of my girlfriend's best friend.
My girlfriend's best friend

I gave it a shot shortly after it came out...and it's not a bad system. I just find it too confining, repetitive, and full of weird rules which break immersion for me. Not that any prior edition didn't have it's share (I'm looking at you, 3E Epic rules), but it was way too jarring to my sensibilities as either a DM or player.

Combine that with a general dislike of WotC's trend in both content and production levels over the last 3 years, I had no reason to shell out money again.

In the end, it afffects me little - where I live, people play based on the Genre and GM, not on System alone. I have over a dozen people who want me to run something - and if I chose RIFTS, I'd probably have players, because of how I run, not because of the system I use.

In the end, that's the key - it doesn't matter what system as long as the Ref is good at telling a story, and you are among friends.
