  So, exactly what's wrong with any of this?
Posted by: robkelk - 11-26-2008, 03:12 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (5)

There's a thread over on the SJGames Forums titled "2000 MORE Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG"

http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.php? ... tcount=340]This is one of the posts in it.

So, exactly what's wrong with any of those things?

Quote:910: I cannot have a hero who has enough health to survive being hit by a tank.
Isn't that part of the fun in that kind of game?
Quote:916: "For what we do here today...Generations will place us on pedistals, they wil love us and cherish us as the heroes we wish we could be...They will remember...no...They will do more than remember, they will never forget!", "When we die, In Flanders Fields we shall lie with the heroes of another war...", "Let us sell our tomorrows to buy the world a future" or any War poems are not appropriate Battle Cries.
They sound like perfectly good battle cries to me...
Quote:921: Demonically posessed Ex-WW1 Soldiers are never a Valid Concept in a High Fantasy Alternate history WW2 campaign and the GM will never let me play one again.
Why not? It wasn't your fault the other players didn't come up with as-interesting character concepts.
Quote:923: Even if we're losing the battle, using a meta-magic artifact to produce a mass area effect version of the true ressurection spell in the middle of flanders fields to ruesserect every person within 30 miles to return and battle one last time is not something the GM wants us to do.
Hey, it's the GM's own fault for letting you have the meta-magic artifact. He didn't have to put it into his own game.

Hey, it worked for Sailor Moon...

Edit: I see OpMegs scooped me, but the completely uninformative subject

Stumbled across this on another forum:

AIC agrees to liscense
Live Action BGC

As if this weren't interesting enough, there was an update blurb with the following info added later:

Quote:

AIC's press release indicates that it is working on new animated Bubblegum Crisis plans. It is also planning to sell the live-action film remake rights for its other titles and jointly produce new animated
projects for them.

  Tales of the Legendary Issue 07 - Now up!
Posted by: Rev Dark - 11-25-2008, 03:54 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (2)

I did want to finish this off in one issue, but I added some ninjas, and wrote some epilogs... One more should do it.

The two genin are making their second appearance, they appeared in a previous issue as part of a Infamous panel, and they are back. They don't have
names as of yet (Fox, your call). Lady Nogitsune has many genin to serve her needs, some are more capable than others... These two are on the low side of the
ninja competence scale...

I was heading towards a comic that I could call safe for work, then I threw a pin-up at the end. An illustration from one of the Legendary stories I wrote
some years ago.

So much for being safe for work.

The whole comic can be dowloaded from

  Question about The Infamous
Posted by: Sofaspud - 11-25-2008, 02:27 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (21)

Who is in effective charge of the Infamous group? Or perhaps, who among the ranks would have the resources, clout, and chutzpah to portray being in charge and
pull it off successfully?

I can see Nogitsune, for one; possibly Mother Meyai (sp?) as well. Who else? I don't _know_ that many of the Infamous; it's making it hard to get a
handle on someone.

I'm strongly leaning towards Nogi at this point, but I'm open for ideas -- and for all I know, Nogi may have some reasons why she _wouldn't_ strike
against the Legendary.

(Working on a story, need a villainous foil.)

  Firewall question
Posted by: Stephen Mann - 11-24-2008, 11:42 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (9)

My mother's gotten a new computer (Vista, if you're curious), and I'm setting up her anti-virus, spam, and adware protections. Is the firewall that
comes with Vista good enough to sit alone, or should I download and install another one?
