Living Supers - General Discussion Thread

[Velmont]

To nsticky it, you must be forum moderator. you can't do that, neither I.

 

[Hand of Vecna]

I wasn't really expecting anyone to say anything about it. With only one entry I was surprised anyone read it all

I agree it might be useful sticky, how do I change that? (It probably should be Record not General as well.)

I think that thread's a really good idea! I can see it as having info not just on supervillains (note: Crier from Stolen University should be put in there, and The Minister'll need an entry, too), but also on other general weirdness of the LS universe (organizations, hidden cities, lost continents, alien races [whenever they're introduced], etcetera). (I plan on having Dr. Archeville eventually found his own S.T.A.R. Labs-like company.)

(The main reason for the question here was to get general discussion back onto the top half of the forum lists.)

Discussion am good

Whats going on with 40 views of my boring database entry for Ms Green? I know about 5 of them are me, but still it seems way to many for a one post thread.

I've looked at it a few times, but it just makes me think of all the entries I need to do. :\ Looks like a winter thing for me.

PS : It's a good thing and an idea that needed someone to follow through on. Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

I've no idea how tight/secretive/planned out you GM-types have the Living Supers Universe, but I'd be glad to help out with writing entries for the database.

You send the powers that be money

Do we have any active approved characters not currently in a mission? With the high number of ongoing missions, there doesn't seem like a lot of opportunity for those waiting.

 

[Velmont]

I'm not sure what is happening with Ionian Dreams, so CPU might be considered waiting for an adventure if that adventure is considered dead... and maybe one or two more PCs. Outside of that, dunno.

Oh, right! I forgot to pick it up when I got back from Japan. I'll do that soonish for sure, but Gencon is this week and I have a thesis to finish.

I have a cool idea that I need to get out of my head... Anyone who wants it is welcome to swipe it for an NPC (or even a PC if you're really hard up on ideas).

Basically, it's a guy with the power to control the density of liquids. He has a special suit with hydraulic-like* pistons, and he uses his power to work then, giving him super strength.

Also means that he can temporary neutralize any machine which uses hydraulics (by increasing the density of the liquid, thus decreasing the volume) or destroy them (by decreasing the density and increasing the volume to the point that the pipes burst). I'm sure there's lots of other creative uses for the power too, for example knocking people out (or killing them!) by messing with the density of their blood.

*I say hydraulic-like because there's no need for a pump, the oil is permanently sealed in the tube
