I always thought she was basically an acrobatic furry with claws. Well, she gets her powers from a god (at least, last I checked, DC likes to reinvent its characters every fortnight), but since she has to fight Wonder Woman, she has to be strong and fast enough to rate in that sort of DC comic.

ibntumart posted:Huh. I always thought she was basically an acrobatic furry with claws. She's an archaeologist who ended up becoming the avatar of some cheetah god by an evil ritual by an evil shaman in the evil Amazon rainforest. Except in Superfriends she's just a lady in pajamas who likes to scratch up the finish on Lex Luthor's countertops. Quoting another goon on Legion of Doom, though: quote:frankly I think Luthor was doing kind of a Big Brothers charity thing where he and the other two actual semi-competent supervillains basically ran an after-school program for disadvantaged villains like toyman and black manta All but a few of the members of the Legion of Doom have actual drat super powers, the others just build killer teddy bears and guns that shoot farts or wear pajamas everywhere.

Yo can we retcon it so Doom is monarch of Latvia rather than Latveria so we can make potato famine jokes? Asking for a friend.

If Doom was monarch of Latvia there would have been no potato famine, since unlike Richards, he actually uses his inventions to benefit people.

Sorry IC thread isn't up yet---I've been madly prepping for an international flight. Depending on airport wi-fi and charging stations, I'll try to have it up a bit later.Alien Rope Burn posted:I also have a spare Fin Fang Foom writeup that almost saw the light of post as well, if you like!

I want to see Thor, but am worried it will be dubbed in German and I won't be able to (1) understand or (2) stop laughing at what will surely be over-the-top dubbing for Hemsworth and Blanchett. Also: IC thread will go up soon. Sooner if the Matterhorn lift is closed due to excessive rain.

I swear upon the ruins of Asgard the IC post is coming this day... already partially written, but new job decided we're starting at a crazy early hour today. Mea culpa! Also, I saw both the European and US release of Thor: Ragarok. Main difference is about three seconds of in-your-face uncovered Hulk rear end in the hot tub scene.

Well, I hosed up with jumping back into things. I'll spare you the excuses, I still should have checked in. That said... life is normal and on track and looking pretty good for the near future. Which means I really, really want to run a game of super-powered space dudes and dudettes doing crazy poo poo to save the universe. If anyone is still in (and that includes Galacta), chime in please.

Dear Peasants of Earth: Enough. Enough with the humiliation. The defeats. The mind control. The possession. The cloning. The deaths. Yes, more than one death, and each more unpleasant than the last. Did you even know I was forced to work in the so-called service industry? I tried it, you know, I sought your 'Buddha', I lived a normal life for a bit, I drank of your earthly whiskey to try and numb the pain, to try and forget the day the rest of my crew was murdered by a war profiteer and a crime lord with an atomic detonation. Tragedy was my lot now. But that was not enough, no, I am bound by magic to fight, I am summoned and controlled and cajoled- it does not end. I am called forth for your holiday rituals. This world is Foom's bane, and he will have no more of it. I am the Last of the Dragon Lords, the Shatterer of the Skies, I kicked the stony hindquarters of It the Living Colossus and I wasn't even trying. Enough with your fractious, shameful world of puny pink meddlers! Tell Richards, tell the Man in Iron, tell the green man-child, tell them no more, no more of living on this planet where I have become but a plus-size punchline. I go home to Kakaranathara. Perhaps I will find the peace the rest of my people found so easy. Or, at least, an simpler world to cow, where an old dragon can do some decent conquest. Maybe the Stonians. The Shi'ar would deserve it, at least. I have taken your spaceship, Fantastic Four. Did you forget that I came from the stars with technology far beyond yours? That I was a navigator aboard my ship? Well, either way, this 'theft' is but a pittance considering the innumerable prices I have had to pay amongst your kind. I, who made the Earth shake in my slumber! I, who stopped rivers with my thirst! I, who have burned cities to ash! I, Fin Fang Foom! P.S.: Here's $20 for the other monsters to split up, tell them I'll take the loss on our Earthly conquest betting pool. pre:Fin Fang Foom Fin Fang Foom [public] Affilations Solo d12 Buddy d10 Team d8 Distinctions Ancient Astronaut Arrogant Beyond Measure Ten-Ton Karate Killer Power Sets Ancient Makluan Warrior Fire Blast d10 Godlike Durability d12 Godlike Stamina d12 Godlike Strength d12 Growth d10 Shapeshifting d6 Subsonic Flight d8 Telepathy d6 Specialties Combat Master d10 Cosmic Expert d8 Menace Master d10 Mystic Expert d8 Science Expert d8 Tech Expert d8 Vehicle Expert d8 SFX Area Attack.

IC https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3845534 There is no way you are *not* playing Fin Fang Foom in space, Alien Rope Burn so I wrote the IC post accordingly. Also that is a pretty cool space bike, but chipper Ghost Rider waving creeps me out big time.

Getting Ultron post together, just a quick rules q, if I'm creating something like a "course inputted, captain" asset for Corsair to use, can I use the Starjammer powerset as an additional powerset? So would it be (example): D8 buddy, D8 Supreme AI, D8 Reflexes, D10 Starjammer-Senses, D12 Tech?

So would it be (example): Vehicles basically act as a shared powerset that everyone crewing it can use. So you should be fine with this action, as you're acting as Corsair's co-pilot/navigator, so it's not like we're fighting over the same controls or anything.

I added Silver Goblin's entrance post into the original IC post.

RandallODim posted:Shocker has done his first police job and I think he's done a very good job indeed. His episode of Cops: Nova Corps Edition is going to get plenty of YouTube views, don't worry! RandallODim posted:Let me know if I grabbed too much NPC control or anything, Urban Shadows has spoiled me a bit and I can rein back if necessary/desired. I don't know Urban Shadows, but no worries, that was well done. I don't mind PCs adding or acting for OOC extras when it makes sense.

So this is what the Timer does:quote:The Watcher may spend a doom die of any size to create a Timer complication. This defaults to d6, but particularly time-crunched situations (as stated in the Action Scene) may start higher. Place the Timer in the action order as if it were a Watcher character. Whenever it acts, the complication automatically steps up to the next die size. If it reaches beyond d12, it immediately doubles and moves to the doom pool, giving the Watcher the power to end the Scene. The Timer complication is also included in any Watcher reaction pool where time is a factor. You can target the Timer Complication with whatever you can narratively justify. I can defend the same, using either the Doom Pool or NPCs. But you can't reduce it beyond D4.
