So? Are they being created and distributed with the express permission of the IP owner? I do not think anyone is suggesting character names should be allowed.

I agree however I think this is a bit of a slippery slope as well.

Of course you can. That is what these forums are for. I am simply providing a solution already freely available to you for you and others to make your wishes come true.

I see what you did there...

I say add Skants to the list as well!

I think it worth repeating an earlier sentiment made by a few people in this thread - make other pools more attractive. The problem is not that hasten is that great. It is that other pools are that bad.

Could not agree more about the copyright extensions. What we are seeing now in Hollywood pumping out remake after remake and other garbage from existing franchises is a direct result of it in my opinion. It has utterly destroyed creativity and risk in film making.

There is nothing stopping you from doing this. Do not create or slot any incarnate powers. Team up with others like those in this very thread who agree with you and go have all the fun you want. Your problem is solved. Again, this is not a game problem, it is a you problem.

There is absolutely nothing preventing you from not using it all the time except for you. This is not a "broken" power problem, it is a you problem. You are not required to take any incarnate power just as you are not required to take any other power you do not want to use. Again, people who dislike Judgement are victims of their own making. Use the tools freely and readily available to you to find like minded players, form your groups and run all the content you like without slotting a single Incarnate ability. Zero development time required and you can all enjoy the game the way you like while everyone who wants to keep incarnates can. This is win win for everyone involved.

Seems to me there are several people in these kinds of threads who would happily give up using their Incarnate abilities when playing with other like minded folk. So PM each other, set up a group and go have all the fun you want the way you want. Zero development time required and zero impact to anyone else.

People sue businesses for just about any reason you can think of, legitimate or otherwise. It is a cost of doing business unfortunately.

I will never forget being blown away when I first saw this!

I did not suggest otherwise. I would also add that if businesses are concerned about getting sued by someone, then they probably should not be in business.

I know right?? Argh!!

Correct. If you listen to any of the very many interviews Stan Lee gave on the topic, that was his exact inspiration.

To be fair, that is what most people on the opposite side are doing.

Correct and people seem to keep forgetting the specifics of the case and the circumstances behind Marvel bringing the suit. Marvel was nearly bankrupt and looking for ways to squeeze money out of anyone they could to keep afloat.

Absolutely correct and the very heart of the problem. This is why I had said copyright was never intended to exist in perpetuity any why everyone should be aware of what is going on with the legislation @MunkiLord mentioned.

GMs are not going to ban you for accidentally messing up getting a badge.

So Trolls in the game are Hulk rip offs now based on your criteria?

Why not? They are not the Hulk.

That is not what you had said though. You said;

I think we need to be cautious with making statements like this. I have seen large, green skinned characters with Super Strength designed to be more similar to Trolls or Orcs with names like "Hulking Behemoth".

Watched the entire run of SGU again on Amazon. I soooooo wish Amazon or Netflix would pick this show back up! Yes, I know it has been like 10 years or whatever, but I really want to see where it ended up! Yes, I know there is a comic out there that tried to do it.

I absolutely loved Starblazers as a kid. I would literally run home from school to watch it along with G-Force (Gatchaman) and Voltron. The Yamato franchise would make for an epic MMO!
