Re: The Flintstones

Also, if anyone's familiar with a British sci-fi comedy series called 'Red Dwarf' , the main character Dave Lister commented several times that, as far as he was concerned, the most beautiful woman in the universe was Wilma Flintstone. LOL, fascinating - I don't remember that about Lister. To be fa...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Ironhide! Ratchet! Jazz! Prowl! Grimlock!)

Have you seen the robotic Grimlock toy that can be programmed and remote controlled to walk and talk and can transform by itself?

Re: Taros' Assorted Builds (Freedomverse Rogues! Cerebrus Rex! Doctor Shock! Death Magnetic! Façade! Kid Karma!)

This thread has inspired me to go back through Green Ronin's publications and do my own builds and backgrounds of their characters. There are a LOT. It's amusing to me to review people's design and build choices, I find them to be a combination of brilliance and weirdness.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Rive! Martin Strong! The Creeper! Care Bears!)

As a kid I would watch a lot of dreadful TV but I drew the line when the Care Bears came on. I always thought it was intended for very little children, like toddlers.

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Suffocation! Snare! Nullify!

One of the main uses I employ nullify for is producing a 'dispel magic' effect for my spellcasters. Other than that I find it useful here and there, such as nullify radio to produce a radio jamming effect. A lot of the time though I leave it up to the descriptors to do the same job. I wouldn't give ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Reaper! Strobe! Tempo! Reignfire! Video Games!)

I know what you mean about games being something of a chore Jab. In my early console gaming days I loved JRPG's and actually did FFVII and Grandia the hard way, grinding my characters to end-game content by sheer volume of playing. That totally burnt me out though and I've never been able to do that...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Superwoman! Bloodsport! Kryptonite Man! Livewire!)

I've always liked Livewire, she's just a good mid-range supervillain. Enough to challenge our heroes but not a global threat. She also appears in DC Super Hero Girls 2019 where she is the one psycho-murderous villain in that otherwise lighthearted show. She is the only one who seriously tries to kil...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Quickness! Super-Speed! Teleport!

As a Movement power it is notable that Teleport isn't any faster than Speed or Flight, it is just different. If you don't take some of the Extras it also has some pretty serious limitations. Without Change Velocity you have to 'port from surface to surface or be prepared to hit the deck hard on arri...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Swimming! Flight! Leaping!

I have seen Quickness used for building devices in the comics, Mr Terrific once watched and marvelled as Power Girl and Supergirl built at blinding speed a big machine he had designed. Building a complex new device in reality takes often months and usually years to design it and get it to work. In c...

Re: Flight

Which means that the Flight of most real-world flying vehicles should only be priced at 1 point per level. (Likewise, the Swimming of most real-world water vehicles should be priced at 1 point per 2 levels, as it's Limited to surface travel.) Actually when I have built surface ships rather than giv...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Speed! Burrowing!

Something that has always struck me about Flight's Aquatic extra is that if you don't buy it for a character does that mean that as soon as they enter water their flight power stops working? I can see that if their flight power is jets or rockets or large wings, but what if like many superheroes it'...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Speed! Burrowing!

With burrowing I rarely use it as a main power, instead I find it goes on sometimes as an alternate power. Like how Flight can be made Aquatic I stick burrowing on to Superman for those times he spins round very fast and drills through the ground, or just straight up flies through solid rock barging...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Speed!

As an RPG I think M&M3E is actually a bit archaic. It is very math and statistics heavy which most modern RPG's rather shy away from. A lot of the alternative rules takes people propose are a move away from defining your character with reams of numbers. Early RPG's, especially those from the fir...

Where is the picture used for Slingshot from? It feels vaguely familiar but I can't place it.

Re: Jab’s Builds (SilverHawks! Power Lords! T-Rex! BraveStarr!)

Being a little bit older than you Jab, and British, I missed most of the series you've gone over. How they came over the pond was very irregular I think so it wasn't really possible to watch a series in order all the way through. I caught very few episodes of the Transformers even though I was a hug...
