  1. I shall look for it on Steam but trying to play a different Supers game on the same system as COH? I'm not sure *whispers* SHE will allow it. *nervous face Not seeing it on Google play but then I have about given up on finding anything of value in mobile games. 😞 I remember Heroes and Villains, never got a chance to play it. Other than Champs and maybe a Gurps one shot, I don't think I have actually tried any other supers game. Sentinel looks like my kind of game though, lot less crunch than Champs...I have rolled 30 d6's across a table, and more free form. Maybe I can cajole my players into giving it a go.
  2. YAY! /e watches from the rafters while slurping a slushee. /e winces a few times Oh that is so a party foul! /e punches the remote control to start the pamcakes machine. 'I think I remember loading it with pumpkin flour...last Halloween." /e shrugs, "Either way...it'll be scary." Good Morning all!
  3. I didn't know it was a CCG. I'll have to check the reviews. Thanks all
  4. Until such time they are all Until such time they are welcome at the Black Cat, a goth club in Croatoa. It is welcoming of vampires.
  5. Picture if you will a strange place....constantly shifting, never staying quite the same. One moment it has the appearance of the Disney castle, the next a house of horror but always the smell of maple syrup and pancakes coming from it. Now picture the lawn of that place, sometimes brambles, sometimes well maintained with rose bushes of white, red, rose and even black varieties. It always changes, except for one place, a place of freshly turned earth. It's clear what it is. You know what it is before you've even been told, but to read it makes it that much more real, that symbol of human's fleeting impermanence. It is a grave. Someone, something is buried there and quite recently. As you watch, the dirt begins to shift and slide, and you realize that maybe whatever was interred wasn't quite dead. A fact that becomes all too true a moment later. Pushing it's way forth from the moist dirt, a wing and then another and then a beak snapping and chittering before finally the whole mass of it break free from the earths embrace and hunches upon the disturbed grave coughing and gagging. With a rasping cry the form lurches forward, picks up a shovel and staggers from the mound, "PUPPPEH.....WHY DID YOU BURY ME IN MY GOGO BOOOOOOOOOTS!" Now imagine this same hunched form making it's way into the building and turning on the pancake making machine. And now imagine it wishing you all good morning.
  6. You just know Circle of Thorns just hate when that happens. "What? Why do people always laugh when I tell them morning dressing routine. I mean THEY asked."
  7. Them taking over a city zone or part of one...Talos island maybe? Also, is there any reason The Warriors couldn't use Titan Weapons? The upper eschelons being ableto actually use buster swords or mino axes.
  8. Has anyone had a chance to play or preview this? I picked up the book at the local games store and think it's an interesting take. Almost seems to take away the numbers crunch from previous Supers RPG's, I'm looking at your Champions, and make it more of a collaborative storytelling supers game.
  9. /e sets out pamcakes for bunneh and butter and three different kinds of syrup.
  10. Can't have that, the unladylike thing. Guess I'll go switch to the Labeaux costume set. 😛
  11. /e takes off cat suit, puts on apron and steps behind the counter to prepare pamcakes for folks. Don't know if anyone shows today, it's kind of rainy, but that's ok. /e listens to the distant peal of thunder. I got to say the world changing for teleportation magics to allow you to hover longer makes me a very happy Bird. Not that I ever teleport...that stuff is dangerous. Like cave diving, bungee jumping and napping... *shudders at the thought of a nap*
  12. I feel the same way all the time. So I go with a couple of things. Wheaton's Law is number one. Don't be a dick. If people don't like your character, they'll let you know in OOC usually. Caveat, you CAN play a dick IF everyone around you agrees yes, you character is like that and they are ok with it but be consciencious. Number two. Don't godmod someone. You are Anvil Man and you drop anvils on peoples heads from an alternate dimension. Don't say, "I dropped an anvil on your head and now you are dead or in pain!" You are taking agency away from the other player. Example. I have a char, Nixie, I used to move behind other players and emote I was tugging their capes. No warning. I felt that was not giving players any agency on how to react ahead of time, NOW I emote that I am sneaking behind said character before I tug their capes. It gives them the chance to react or not. Although its hard sometimes, separate IC feelings over OOC feelings. There may be some hard In character things going on, someone died, lost a loved one, saw their civilization destroyed, or betrayed your character...your character can feel outraged, devastated, hoorified and you can too to a certain extent but its a story. A collaborative story. So at the end of it, everyone should take off their masks and hug and smiles cause you had fun. Uhm....Have fun. If you aren't or you feel like the RP is going somewhere you don't want to go. Say something, Step away. "Folks. I'm not comfortable with this RP so I'm gonna bow out. " Don't force them to stop though, if someone wants to RP being someone who self harms and you don't want to participate, move on. Start small. Just do small things in a mission. Yell taunts at the bad guys. Always fluff your hair. People will pick up on it. Make comments about how on YOUR planet, the Council took over and ran the show for 100 years before being devoured in the belly of the ancient Slorr. If others are RPing they will ask, Where is your planet? When did you come to Earth.....and off you go! Those are my takes. Hope they help. They are also subject to someone saying I am dead wrong but I feel they encompass what I try to do Rp wise.
  13. But I LIKED those boots. /e follows behind Puppeh with a shovel.
  14. /e starts to shudder. I think I am having PUN overload....want to make pun about putting puppeh in a kilt and about feeding to love and about Grimy Reaper, a new alt....... Can't decide!
  15. Oh noes! And those are bismarks, they are like the caloric nuclear bombs of the donut world! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
  16. Blue side Pocket D does have a gravity about it. Most likely caused by it being THE place to go to find Rpers back in Virtue days....so old habits and all BUT, with all the clubs which advertise in the D, it should be easy enough to advertise for other things there as well. Someone could make up a hospital, a church, a college campus, a beach, a public market, a museum and on and on and then advertise for them in the D. I know most of those things exist in the game but with some of the absolutely brilliant basework I have NO doubt they could all be made better. There are some scary good people out there. As for why nightclubs are so popular is it just because they exist IRL for no other reason that to meet people, people watch and consume social lubricant (Thanks Adjust!) and that translate easily into the virtual space? I mean VT did the Monkey Fight club on redside and it was pretty awesome but it wasstill to a certain degree a nightclub, a seedier blood sport one, but the same concept. Outside of a mall...where else do humans go to just meet people enmasse? /e ramble off.
  17. /e rushes in from the rafters, maps and small bits of light falling all over. Sorry! Busy busy. Oh dammit I seem to be losing bit of data. Hope everyone had a great weekend! /e turns the donut cannon on to automatic and flees the building before getting bismarked.
  18. While I am sure to get brickbats tossed at me, I so much more prefer the humor in Kung Fu Hustle and Airplane than in the humor of Ellen or The Office. That uncomfortable nervous humor does nothing for me.
  19. Rp being drunk on redside of Pocket D. Now imagine someone comes up to you who is cursed to say the opposite of whatever they mean. Hijinks ensued! Thanks for the listing!
  20. /e cut the croissant in half and sets it on another teeny plate with a fork Of Course! So...who won the tussle? Or was it a tussle just to tussle thing?
  21. /e flumpfs into a FBBC and watches the cartoonish cloud of arms legs and tails spin about the place all while enjoying a delicious pastry from the nearby French bakery. Mmm.. Chocolate almond croissant..... Good morning all!
  22. /e asks innocently, "Super group meetings?"
