The Dream Team [Full for Now]

[Mark Chance]

Hello. I was ready to get the next round posted tonight, and then I found out this afternoon that the father of one of my students has died. Now it's about 6:00 p.m., I'm about a fifth of the way through a fifth of tequila, and I doubt I have the necessary presence of mind to handle combat rules.

I'll get the game moving again in one or two more evenings tops.

Hello! I'm off for Christmas holiday starting this afternoon. I shall get caught up with posting soon. I've also been given the early Christmas gift of suddenly finding out that my school is closing effective today. Consequently, I'm out of a job, and my children are out of a school.



If any of you are fabulously wealthy and would like to give me some money, I can send you my PayPal info.

Wah...huh? Just like that? No warning?

How is that even possible? Surely if the school was in such dire straits it would have been fairly big news!

*is stunned*

Well, we (meaning the parents and faculty) were aware of some of the financial problems. Unfortunately, the problems were much like an iceberg. What we could see was dwarfed by what was concealed by the icy sea of less-than-truthfulness.

On the good front, several very savvy parents and most of the faculty are working to start a brand new school based on a sound business model free from the former administration. We've got a good curriculum, a good faculty, and good families. It'd be a shame to let it all go without a fight.

Oh yeah: The new game post is up.

Okay, let's start to get this game moving a bit by going back in time just a few minutes. Rumble hasn't quite arrived yet. The wasps have just been defeated. Tendril is very hurt. Everyone has hero points. While it isn't quite kosher with the rules, I don't think it would be unreasonable to allow Tendril to spend a hero point to gain Regeneration as an alternate power for Plant Control for at least long enough to get a recovery check. Perhaps if a source of UV light could be found, this would provide a comic-booky explanation. Such an approach, I think, is keeping with the spirit of the game and the rules, and would allow Tendril two recovery checks: one for being disabled, another for being staggered.

Thoughts?

Genesis should be able to provide a source of UV light.

Indeed.

Just ask, and it's done.

In theory she could create Miracle-Gro plant food, supernitrate compounds...anything you need to justify a self-Healing check or Regen check via HP.

Sadly, she can't just create replacement tissue, because it would be temporary in nature.

Eww.

Well, I was thinking about that whole approach while reading through the power stunt section talking about adding alternate powers temporarily....

Unfortuinatly I don't have Plant Control, and don't know what power I have that I could base it off of.
