Awesome, thanks for the heads up. It sort of bothered me that guns were so much more powerful than standard melee weapons in this setting, but I figured that was just how it was. I'm definitely lacking in standard rulebook comprehension, but my book should show up today, which means plenty of...

Nothing wrong with that character Zhaun. It's a great support character, which was your goal from what you've said. It is good that we don't have all fighters. I freely admit that I suck at characters that don't get bloody, so I'm glad you don't. As far as the older brother (or sister)...

While the future mother is definitely cute, I'd have much rather had it be someone that looked like the girl he carried up the the lighthouse. She's substantially hotter than the mother.

The problem for me is, with a computer with a decent amount of power required to play the majority of games being released in the near future, it is dumb NOT to have stuff like that built into it, even if people do have it on their TVs. All that power sitting there doing nothing but waiting to...

I'm a nerd. I almost never like the character sheets that are provided with these games, so I invariably end up making my own. This is just a quick one thrown together, and I am already thinking I might have to remake it with sharper lines, different fonts, more room for hindrances (forgot...

I'm confused by all the Weird Science shit myself (and a lot of other things). Thinking I might say fuck the melee and go Demonologist now

If you're referring to Background Edges, they changed the rule so you can take them whenever you want. Which makes sense to me, given how many of them there are you'd never get to use the majority of them otherwise. If you're referring to something else, then I'm unaware of it. I get the...

Ok, someone tell me if I'm crazy and my thinking is totally wrong. Malakar melee-based character, with the ability to take some damage as well. Innate racial edges are claws (count as runic) that do STR+2 damage, resistance to magic, poison, etc. 4 pts in Hindrances, allowing me to buy...

That will be 4 melee'ish characters if we assume Laura makes a tank like she said. That's not a bad thing, as most of these games lend themselves to melee characters anyway. For the Sellsword profession, you still have to buy the Sellsword edge, correct? The end result being that you then...

I knew they weren't going to live, but I was actually looking forward to the new couple to be around for awhile because they were far more interesting than anyone else right now. Sucks when your best characters are 15-min throwaways.

Yeah I just reviewed that section and edited my post above as you were posting this. I had the whole system wrong, but I see how it works now. I was confusing it with stuff like parry and toughness. Thanks for the clarification. Now let me just make sure I understand skill choice...

Oh yeah, I forgot about skills. Still in the process of familiarizing myself with the whole system. Are derived skills automatically bumped whenever you purchase an upgrade to the base attribute? Like in your example, if your Smarts started at a d4, but your Spellcasting (Arcane) skill has...

Well, they believe in that old goddess of Shadow chick! Yeah, I noticed there wasn't a lot of fleshing out there. I'm pretty much decided on the Malakar melee character, now I just have to familiarize myself with all of the standard rules so I'm not missing obvious skills like two-weapon...

Hey, don't worry, it is just as awkward being the guy that calls her your wife and instigates that whole line of conversation! I was like, I could swear he said wife, did I fuck up?! After 22 years though, I'm sure you've been through it enough that it isn't a big deal. As far as character...

Nothing going on in the picture, but what Trollface is doing while looking at it is an entirely different matter.

I'll be leaving work in about 10 minutes, then it will take me 15-20 minutes to get home, so about 10 till I should be available.

No, but I guess I misspoke when trying to be funny by giving the thread a different name. I do think Regan is a legend, he's my favorite after all. But I don't necessarily know if everyone else does (half the people I mention him to in real life have never even heard of him, whereas they've...

Since this is now the "Comedians That Aren't Legends Yet But Are Still Good" thread, surprised no one has mentioned my favorite:

I got distracted with stuff like the Lynch book so am only a little over halfway through this one right now. I haven't clicked any of the spoilers, but from the general comments above, it isn't really grabbing me either. It isn't horrible, and I'll finish it, but I'm not dying to read it...

Thanks for the heads up. I just want to go on record that I enjoyed the school parts as much as, and possibly more than in some respects, the main storylines so far. However, I defer to your judgment if you feel that the current one wasn't up to your standards. As I was reading that blog I...

PM sent! Thanks for the offer, that's awesome.

I haven't tested mine at all beyond the initial install and check that Skype does, so you're probably more prepared than I am. I just have to remember to keep my pants on when we start until I'm sure I didn't hit the "answer with video" button.

I will call them Native Americans the minute they take the word "Indian" out of their casinos. That really rustles my jimmies.

I "reviewed" that movie much earlier in this thread. I watch a LOT of shitty television, and I couldn't even finish Atlantic Rim. I really can't even think of a worse movie, and I'm trying!

Disclaimer: Obviously we all hope everything turns out well for your wife, and can commiserate with having to deal with something like that. That being said...I won't be offended by anything she says as long as you promise not to be offended if I (probably fairly often) suggest something...

I had a science teacher in junior high that couldn't properly pronounce half the words he taught us, let alone his own name. One particularly clueless kid (a good friend of mine of course) had the misfortune of being "axed" something about the "kastaristics of da Earf" (characteristics of the...

Here is my critical analysis: I would like to pee in both of their butts. Together, separate, repeatedly, whatever. Pee. In butt.

Umm, hello? You forgot a hottie! (And adding in a couple for Astro's benefit) Felicity Laurel Thea Moira Sarah . . . Diggle . . Sin

With how long these credits are nowadays, if I know it will be at the very end I just leave and YouTube it when I get home. I'm probably watching it at about the same time I would be sitting in the theater anyway.

Nope, as long as she does it with every other female on the show too. In turn. Repeatedly.

What. The. Fuck? Are you serious? That has all kinds of awful written all over it. I don't hate Felicia Day, but I'm definitely done seeing her on television ever again. And Dorothy was ok, but really the only part of the episode I liked was the very end when I laughed about how...

I still don't get your point. They are characters in a TV show. Who cares if one is employable or not? Here, let me illustrate: While I know you can quibble with a few of the specifics I had to shoehorn in to make your sentences fit mine, but in general I hope you understand when I say that I...

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. We're comparing them because they are hot, and they are hackers, that's it. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of us prefer Felicity's character to Skye's, but you can't blame us for comparing them nonetheless. I'm also pretty sure that having a...

I still enjoy it. Could it be better? Definitely. But I'll take what I can get. I'd rather have a show like this around than another iteration of Storage Hoarder's Slutty Wives.

Ok, now that I can fap to! That version is significantly better than the 80s version with the awkward naval cleavage netting thing. That other panel was just horrible though.

THAT is fucking Gamora right now? Bleh. I wasn't exactly a huge fan of her look before, but you knew in an instant who she was. That could have been Sue Storm or Illyana Rasputin for all I know. I mean, I'm guessing with a better colorist I'd be able to see the eye circle shit better...

Half of the characters in First Class didn't exist/weren't created at the time Xavier and Magneto would have been young adults either, so it is pretty obvious they don't give a shit about when a particular character was actually introduced. They probably just looked down a list and said...

I'm totally on-board with Saffron Burrows showing up, I've always thought she was hot. I know she's been in a ton of memorable stuff (including Deep Blue Sea), but she'll always be Angel from Wing Commander to me!

It has been ages since I played a decent pen & paper game. I'm as happy as a little girl! Just fyi, going to use one of your pre-made characters the first night since there doesn't seem to be much point making up a character without knowing the setting. I'd hate to choose "pilot" as a...

That's why you and I will always be bros.
