#20 My PCs: Serverino Falconario, Archeologist Extraordinare

This is a little bit of an experiment, over the last year I've been able to consistently play a number of D&D characters (not a bad deal for a forever GM), so I decided to post here some of my follies. If you want to blame someone, I was inspired by Thorp's last batch of builds :P https://cdnb.a...

Re: Nicodemus

The X-ternals... until fairly recent times they were my benchmark for poorly thought-out and poorly integrated concept. Not only their existence didn't make sense in the wider continuity, but put a lot of other characters into question. Aside from the aforementioned Apocalypse and Selene, what about...

Re: Warehouse W - Valiant: X-O Manowar, Ken and Randy

Yeah, Randy's little side-story felt like an interesting addition to X-O Manowar judging by your story. Like the writers suddenly felt like there needed to be a female presence, and ramped her backstory up and up so that it was equal parts tragic, intense and sympathetic- a clear sign a writer is d...

Re: Solar's Build Thread - Boku no VILLAIN Academia Update

The author was really pushing for a horror theme with this last characters. Aside from the Nomu, I think that Mustard is one of the scariest despite being so simple.

Re: The Indigo Tribe

-The Indigo Tribe is... really where the whole "Emotional Corps" thing went REALLY off the rails. While everyone else had kind of a solid theory behind them and made for okay backgrounders, these douches were a bridge too far and just cluttered things up WAY too much. Everything about the...

Re: Jab’s Builds (The Sinestro Corps! Kryb! Parallax! Ion! Mongul!)

yeah, the Brubaker/Fraction Iron Fist tale is proof positive that it can work, but only because it did nothing but add. The cast was exponentially increased and his world got so much bigger, and stuff that didn't work (Danny's half-sister and the race of evil plants) was ignored. Those retcons work...

Re: Jab’s Builds (Controllers! Manhunters! Darkstars! Sinestro!)

I've never really understood the fascination with villains. I get the appeal to some extent, they're the people in the dark outfits doing things a lot of us would secretly like to do in our most frustrated moments, but to the point that some people actually IDENTIFY more with the bad guys than the ...

Re: The Coyote Den

The biggest problem about Stands is that some of their feature doesn't translate well in game terms. For example, the more powerful a Stand abilities are the closer it must be to the person manifesting it. E.g. Jotaro can manifest Star Platinum only to to 3 meters from himself, whereas Josuke can ma...

Re: VH1: X-O Manowar

SWEET! It's finally here! A Valiant build! So turns out X-O Manowar was a Visigoth barbarian given a suit of power-armor. Crazy- I had no idea. I remember the name popping up a lot in those ads in comic books of the time and it definitely had the most attention-grabbing name of the books. Aric seem...
