The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Mega - Ahhh ... the Hobgoblin. He was probably my favorite Marvel villian. Dunno why - just always liked him. Did you ever play the old Marvel game put out by TSR? Or Villians and Vigilantes?

No I have not. It was actually this game that kept me away from gaming for a while. I sat in on a game for a whole 5 minutes once. It was all about who was going to do what with She-Hulk. Turned me off of role playing games.


I did play Champions quite a bit however. Even found a loophole in the system (not hard to do) that made my Psi-borg extremely effective.

So what were they going to do with She-Hulk? Bench press cars? Man hole cover fresbie?

 

[megamania]

I have today and tommorrow off from the store. In those two days I need to finish my Storyhour updates, NPCs for Saturday and build a closet in our bedroom. Busy week.

 

[Mycanid]

Back to the grind for me. 3 days off is not enough. It doesn't help that I have a D&D game on Sunday. This week will drag out because I can't wait for Sunday.

Yes ... I know what you mean.

I would love some buttered cinnamon raisin toast myself. Don't have any at present. :\ But I think I WILL go make myself a cup of coffee! Hmm. No egg nog though. Oh well.

Tell me ... are the days after the "Christmas rush" and aftermath busy at all? That is, as compared to the rest of the year. Or do things die down somewhat?

What are you playing on Sunday coming? A DM or a player? Has it been going for a while now?

rhymes with scrape.

 

[megamania]

There was Thor, Hercules, Namor and someone even suggested playing Hulk.


I was not impressed and suddenly remembered something I had to do and left.

Oh man ... what a drag. Too many graphic novels readers I take it. Yeesh. I know exactly what you mean about ruining the rpg thing with such nonsense. Phooey!

I was aware of the Champions game, I think I may even have rolled up a character for it. Somehow, though, it never caught with our group. The DC game and GURPS superheroes didn't either. It was only V&V and the Marvel game that did. Go figure.

Without snow Southern Vermont's economy is suffering greatly. My hours have been cut from 32 to 24 at the store. Not good.

I know this was aimed at Aeson but I'll answer also. I am a DM on every other Saturday. We play Eberron. The campaign began 2 1/2 years ago. One member is 16th level and the rest are 13 or 14th level. They are about to discover the secret of Wargorged creations and Cannith's darker secret of creating Warforged.... in secret.

I thought it would go down a sexual road. I didn't know it would go that direction.

 

[megamania]

I had several really neat Champions characters.

The Game
Super Strength
Spider Climb
Explosive hand blasts
The hook- Think Jonny Bravo from the Cartoon network. "Do the monkey dance"

Megamania (there has to be one in every game system)
Psi-borg. Based on HARD Corps from Valiant comics. He had a micro computer implanted into his brain. Through this computer, he could download one defensive and one offensive power at a time. Sometimes he had super strength and Flight. Sometimes Ray Beams and Superspeed. My favorite- Delayed Explosive blasts and Intangibility.

I blew up many a building with that combo.
