It appears we'll have four new characters. Interface, Destiny Dame, Kid Comet, and another whose cast list entry is still too cryptic to be a name.

I had an idea.  A short thread for each character where they meet a snakeman on their own, create your own scenario how they meet, robbery, chance meeting, etc.  Does this sound like a cool idea?

What do these snakemen look like? just so I don't describe something that's different than your vision of them.

Yes, it does. I may not get to it 'til Monday, though (church in the morning and my f2f group in the afternoon/evening).

In which thread should we post?

In reply to R. Race Rasmusen (msg # 240):

Sounds good to me.  :)

The snakemen look all different, different formulas, different progress and doses so they could look almost human to more than half snake, and most had cancer which affected how it progressed.  Most should look pretty horrifying, not like a pretty snake. I did post a link to a pick in my last post in "Front Page News Issue #5." of how one looks, linked here for convienence:

I'll create individual threads.  I'll leave them public assuming it will end up on the news.  If anyone has an objection I'll make a seperate group for you and the thread, at least if/until it hits the news.

Henry: no problem. I generally don't post much on the weekend, but I'm striking while the mood is upon me.

LInk doesnt work for me here either.


Got my inrl group, i'll post something later this afternoon in my thread.

That's odd, it doesn't work for me anymore either.  It was working when I posed it.  Well it's the cover pic for this

Getting "bad gateway" messages on all the tinyurl things. I believe it to be due to the anti virus/malware/etc software, or maybe one of the three firewalls.

Am looking forward to see what the other supers can do... Mine is more of a two-trick pony, for now.

mostly i punch things, really hard

Henry's a battlesuit scrapper; light armor with all-around sensory array, twin batons for stick fighting, and a gun with adaptable ammunition settings. He gets around on a Triumph superbike. His true superpower is that he's filthy rich.

Oh, and he has a public identity.

Just getting things together, Aster Man flies and has a certain glow about him in a fight.

Hello, everyone. Very excited to join the game!

Weekends tend to be a bit busy for me to post, I'm updating threads now.

I like how Asterman wants to take a snake man that can hypnotize to a police station...

well super heroes are not much except for making sure the bad guys can get away so they can fight them again...

In reply to Interface (msg # 254):

I wasn't sure to take that as "Aster Man is attacked and it fails and he was completely aware of the attack" or "Aster Man is a noob and is wondering why the snakey guy was making googly eyes at him" so went with the later. Aster Man is not one of the world's deep thinkers and cannot manipulate forklifts with his mind so he's going to have to rely on what he does have.

So, if the GM rules he was aware of things, snakey is going in a bag. But, if not and if the cops start becoming hypnotized, I think even Aster Man is going to catch onto the hypnotic power of Snakeman. Then Aster Man gets to punch his lights out, then have him locked up. He could escape, I suppose, and give AM something to do!

P.S. DD: Love that picture in the profile! Something about a redhead in spandex!

In reply to Aster Man (msg # 256):

I understand. It wasn't an attack on your choice, but it was funny to think about what the hypnotic snake man might get up to in the police station.

Thanks, might have picked that for the same reasons...

anyone playing city of heroes homecoming?

Oh, I got it, just having fun with it. They were supposed to warn you about me in advance.

I had forgotten about that...unfortunately, my laptop isn't gaming worthy (but I'm hoping to upgrade later this year), but I'm happy to see CoH coming back. Enjoyed the heck out of the original game.

I'm not sure if you'd know you were targeted, as unlike other powers you don't make a feat, it either controls you or not based on the rank power vs. your psyche and the result of the power roll.  I'd lean toward you'd know, but I'll roll with it, maybe he'll realize later.

City of Heroes: I played CoX back in the day off and on, right from the beginning.  I played for a few months when Homecoming came back.  My old crew was there for a bit, but then mostly broke up and I got tired of playing with randos and completed about everything I ever wanted to but never got geared enough to do back in the original days.

Soloed Recluse TF with my mace soldier VEAT, that was pretty much the last thing I did on Homecoming.

My favorite time was when CoV was it's own thing, once they made it crossover no one played villain side, which I felt was much better story and class wise, that's pretty much when I stopped with the original game, and it turned that way pretty quick with Homecoming.  It also felt way too easy to get so powerful in Homecoming vs. the original, but as I didn't play it to the end, I'm not sure what changes were made later.

I've been playing CoH Homecoming, but it's not a big thing for me. I created a hero and villain with identical selections except the hero's main color is white and the villain's is black. They're almost the same except for the wording of the dialogue.
