Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

Re: Mister Wicked, 6ed Version. Within Mister Wicked's organization, there are three people at the very top of its organizational structure -- Mister Wicked himself, the Overseer -- who attends to the day-to-day running of the secret dungeon and auction facility, and who is secretly plotting against Mister Wicked -- and the man who's in charge of the facility's guard force, a man of Japanese and American descent known only as the Warden: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44083[/ATTACH] To a casual obvserver, the Warden always appears to be very polite, and is never seen without a smile upon his face, but make no mistake -- he can be every bit as cruel and sadistic as Mister Wicked where the facility's "residents" are concerned; indeed, he can be even more inventive than his employer when it comes to devising torments for those unfortunate enough to attract his personal attention. In fact, Mister Wicked has, on occas- ion, observed the Warden's sessions with one captive or another, and has filed away a number of the chief guard's techniques for future use. The Warden carries some of the same equipment as the guards, with one exception: instead of a TASER-Sap, he carries an electro-shock whip, which is slightly longer than a standard bullwhip.

Re: Mister Wicked, 6ed Version. It's taken a while due to an unforseen happenstance (the original pic vanished on me somehow, and I had to redo it), but here it is at last -- the pic of Mister Wicked's Guards: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44082[/ATTACH] The big, baldheaded guy in the front of the group is Boris Rasputin (not his real name), a former employee of the Baron's who needed a change of location (and employers) after having to be bailed out of jail and relocated by the Baron. While Boris does have an im- portant job within Mister Wicked's organization, he isn't the chief guard; that honor be- longs to a Japanese-American individual who's known only as the Warden (to be described in the post following this one). He is, however, the Warden's number-two man in Mister Wicked's security force. The instrument that Boris is holding is a TASER-Sap, and can be used either as an electro- shock weapon or as a blackjack-type weapon (when applied to the back of a victim's head to render him or her unconscious); because of this dual function, the TASER-Saps are very ruggedly built, so that none of the internal electronics are damaged by any physical impact.

Re: Mister Wicked, 6ed Version. It might not be a good idea for Mister Wicked's organization to have a specific name attached to it, especially since a name more often than not provides a starting point for any investigat- ion that the authorities (or even worse, a vigilante hero with the same general skill set as the Batman) may be about to conduct. Given that Mister Wicked's organization, from the details that have been provided thus far, is at least a century old -- if not older -- the last thing that someone like him would want is for it to lose its anynominity. The near-destruction of the org- anization when it was based in Hudson City (when Mister Wicked's father was running it) would only provide an added incentive to keep it that way. This would also extend to such things as letting his clients know when he has something for them: simple messages which are devoid of any tell-tale words (like "product", for example) which might tip off the authorities or the local vigilante (or even worse, a band of meddling teenyboppers and their pet) that there's Something Going On that they need to check out.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I thought the last name was Gottfried. Oh, well... I've got a start on the five main characters in the thread (Dynamo, Gladiator, Poltergeist, Sea Dragon, and Shooting Star); so far, I've got pics for Dynamo and Gladiator done, and I'm getting ready to do Poltergeist's (just as soon as I can work out the size differences in the templates).

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine My, that was a subtle hint there...subtle in the "Battlestar does a Move-Through on a Base Star" kind of way (). I saw it listed on the topics page; I just haven't gotten around to checking it out yet. Up until a few minutes ago, I was on the F2011 site doing a group pic, when the accursed mechanism decided to freeze on me following a zoom-in to make a next-to-final adjustment on a character's face. Bogus. Major Tom 2009
