My apologies. I had totally forgotten that I had an account here, so clearly I have not been playing. However, I got lovely birthday greetings (yes, it's my birthday, and I am <mumble-mumble> years old. I shall try to make it here more often. In fact, I think I'll kip over to the LFP section and see...

Kipling, any questions before we continue? Sorry: The furnace died (is still dead) in our home, and without heat, things have been kind of upended, and I wasn't organized enough to say I was distracted. "Arikas? I met someone connected with the company when my father got married. Came to the w...

I think that's a fun idea, and I'd love it.

The only caveat is that sometimes there are copyright issues--I can't play the Wu Tang song, for example, because they haven't released it to play in Canada. Sucks for me.

Steve starts fastening on the rest. "As ready as it's going to be, and I'm eager to act." He glances over at Professor Cortez, almost as if daring her to object. "Brief me on the background and give me the sitrep." He knows not to go in without briefing--for a bomb technician, th...

"I suppose. It's just the teleportation target trackers are failing intermittently. The trackers are supposed to indicate that there's a man-sized space above it and they don't. Sometimes. And it might be a software thing except I'm no damned good at software and--" He stopped before he s...

Because that's obviously not as important as his publication history. As a Ph.D. student, I had to laugh at this. "Yes, yes, Professor Perryton. The tenure committee is aware that you can move objects with the power of your thoughts and make birds do your bidding. And we appreciate that you ha...

Very nice. With Ruekellan's permission, you want to make both Maurice and Prof. Pulpatoon acquaintances of my Professor Cortez? According to this image I have in my mind, she knows exactly those kind of people. (Heck, maybe she is those kind of people; I leave it to the DM.) That gives ol' Steve a c...

The scion of an arms manufacturing company, the family lost control of the company while Steve Sanderson was in Afghanistan. Steve came back wanting to help people instead of hurt them. He enrolled in engineering, and as an engineering student, Sanderson got involved with a project to build a truly ...

Thanks for all the welcomes, and I'm sure I will like it.

We'll try... Origin roll: Origin: [1d100] = 20 (a skilled human: 3 bonus skills) 4 Traits: [1d100] = 21, [1d100] = 42, [1d100] = 29, [1d100] = 55 (10, 20, 10, 20) 3 more traits: [1d100] = 98, [1d100] = 34, [1d100] = 13 (50, 20, 6) Number of skills: [1d100] = 52 that's 2 skills, plus 3 for the origin...

Like to get my feet wet and get to know folks, but have an idea for something that might be fun: reformed supervillains trying to go straight but playing supervillains on a superhero reality show. (Hey, they've got the costumes.) I will probably use the OGC version of Icons because it's free and onl...

Been gaming for a while (AD&D and Champions 2nd were where I cut my teeth). I figured this would be a great place to look for some of those games I've been curious about but have never got to play, like 13th Age, Icons, The Laundry, Against The Darkness,Wild Talents, or Iron Gauntlets. I'm prett...
