Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products King of the Mountain (In Development) An Elvis-Themed Superhero adventure for Hero 6th Edition Imaginary Friends (In Development) An adventure like you've never seen for Hero 6th edition.

Re: In Progress From Blackwyrm Games: Mythic America There shouldn't be any such issues with Elvis. Yo-Yo and his Robot Elvises were successfully published in Throwing Stars and Bars, and I'm pretty sure Mark Arsenault isn't paying out money to Presley's estate.

Re: Support Your Local Collie (whiny) Well, that's the problem. 4e rots the brain. And you're talking to one of the highest ranked competitive D+D players in the world.

Well, I'm about halfway through the sheets on King of the Mountain. So far, they're mostly pretty interesting. It's got a ton of new villains, robots, and other cool stuff in it. I promise at least one new supervillain team, and some unusual enemies with power-sets people might not have conceived. Plus, special bonus. Mark Arsenault has gracefully allowed us to reboot Yo-Yo from Throwing Stars and Bars for this adventure. How could I possibly write an Elvis themed adventure without the guy who uses robot Elvises? Oh, yeah. And Demons. And Zombies. We've got those, too.

Re: Support Your Local Collie (whiny) Play something else. That's right. You heard me. Variety is the spice of life. For superheroes, I always use Hero. For fantasy, D+D 3.5 or Pathfinder. Heck, I even play Rifts. I strongly recommend going to another system for a touch. I'm having a touch of burnout now, considering how long it's taking me to get King of the Mountain right, but I made a promise and it needs to be done by October 31, so away I plug.

Re: Pretty Hate Machines Wow, that was fast. Faster than I expected, certainly, and I wrote it.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares DC has been writing this for years.

King of the Mountain They say there is a legend that every century has a king. They say that a man with enough worshippers can become a god. Now, one ancient evil rises, to control the most powerful force of nature that has ever existed... Elvis Fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Battle the Risen Dead! Fight Demons! Save the World! King of the Mountain Every century has it's king.... Imaginary Friends What if you knew a group of children who had imaginary friends? What if those imaginary friends were real? What if someone was killing them.... How do you fight a serial killer that doesn't exist? How do you stop a villain whose very weakness is his strength? Meet the evil mastermind behind such a sinister plan... Meet Mr. Wumbles. Your PC's will never be the same.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The San Diego Knights return from their battle with the Zodiac only to discover that the villains have given their AI's a virus and blown a hole in their base two stories high. After covering the whole thing with a tarp, they try and recruit new members by putting an ad in the local paper. So, first, the Rat Man arrives. Deciding that he should not use the door, he sneaks up to the tarp invisibly and moves inside. Regrettably, the base has a cat, who easily detected him. (Oops) So the characters interview him, and this character named Auron shows up to try and see the Spear of Destiny, which the Zodiac was trying to steal. After failing to pretend to be normal in the Danger Room, and being tricked by Red Baroness, an argument ensues. Gauntlet: So what's your name? Auron: We are Auron. Gauntlet: You broke into our base. Give me one reason why I shouldn't call the police? Auron: Well, at least I used the door downstairs. There's a big tarpaulin up there, but what idiot would try to use that? The Rat Man: It was I! Gauntlet: Listen, Auron. I'm not well disposed towards intruders, especially given the last set of intruders. And no, you can't see the spear of destiny. Auron: Why not? Everyone else here has! Gauntlet: Obviously, someone left the "M" off the front of your name.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I had the misfortune to watch Inception. God, this movie is the most awful piece of filmmaking I've seen in ages. It's a completely worthless self-deconstructing narrative in which I actually regret not walking out before the end.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Babylon B.C.: Vin Diesel, Understudied by Mel Gibson plays King Lot, Action Hero as he battles the forces of an angry god. After slaughtering angels, kicking the teeth out of seraphim and saving his wife, she looks back to turn into a pillar of salt. Diesel's character vows revenge. Be back for Babylon B.C. II, Whole Lot of Anti-Semitism!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... One would assume if one is going to give oneself that name, that one would be.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The San Diego Knights reunite in a quest for new members. Gauntlet is back in charge while Steel Thunder tries to get married by throwing the granddaddy of all martial arts tournaments. Red Baroness: So, Gauntlet, have you considered going on tour in Europe? That would be a vacation for you. Gauntlet: Well, they do like jazz in Germany. But what kind of guy could I really find in Germany? I'm not a gay cabaret club sort of girl. And I don't really want a dolled up blond woman in leather and a riding crop for a boyfriend. Red Baroness: Gauntlet, all Germans are not like that. Me OOC: Else, the phone rings. Red Baroness: Hello? Elsa's Girlfriend: Hey, do you want me to come over this evening? Did you forget our date? Listen, I found this really great new thing I want to try with you, and I was hoping we could get together, maybe see a show and go out to dinner. Red Baroness: I'll see you around eight. Around eight, a battle with the Zodiac ensues. Red Baroness finally gets back to base and her girlfriend is waiting in the bedroom. Girlfriend: Hi, honey! Elsa (Finally taking the armor off): Hello, Mistress.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Well, speaking as the DM of that particular incident, the dog had SOME intelligence, but, you know, he's a dog.
