Re: Why only two-parties in the US? Electability trumps Fac
I guess this is the place to bring it up.[br][br]I don't have anything against Hillary. I think she'll make a fine leader, but the amount of vast unearned hatred she draws, even from people who normally support her, might be a problem in the general election.[br][br]As in, people go to the voting bo...

Re: Mutants and Masterminds -- The Apocalypse
You could always have that stuff basically work, but it makes the black hole extra active, so normal people aren't willing to risk it when they can just eke out a basic living by farming or whatever.
I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Re: Mutants and Masterminds -- The Apocalypse
Also, state in a blurb that the genre won't allow metahumans to feed the world, either through banning of abilities or combos that do, or just having it be an agreement with the players to not actually do so even if it's within their power. I know some DMs would like the idea of negative hero point...

Re: Mutants and Masterminds -- The Apocalypse
I know that sounded really awkward and forced. But if someone can think of a better way to make it so that someone can't wave their hands and heal and feed a bunch of settlers I'd love to hear it.

Re: Mutants and Masterminds -- The Apocalypse
Of course, there will also be MUTANTS. And not just pretty X-Men mutants, either, but Total Recall-style mutates. Sometimes the categories will mix and match.[br][br]And to prevent tomfoolery like replicators, we might add this in:[br][br] Entropy Field [br][br]When the survivors of this broken worl...

You know, this reminds me a lot of Fist of the North Star. [br][br]This is sort of what I'm going for, though not as depressingly and relentlessly bleak as that series and not focused on one hero.

Re: Mutants and Masterminds -- The Apocalypse
I'm trying to think of a mad-max world with superheroes and I really can't see it working. The Superheroes would either take over govt at that point (from a grey-morality standpoint) or they would use their powers to make the lives of the norms a lot, lot better. But since you're keepign the PL low...

That's one of the lovely things about the United States. We decided to make the constitution something we can change.
I have no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean in relation to my post.
Re: Scrubs?!
My hatred for this show grows with every episode. I am forced to listen to this bullshit in the office due to the votes of my coworkers.
I have never wanted to smack any fictional characters in the mouth so freaking hard in any show I've watched. This includes Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but Huckabee wants to amend the constitution to reflect 'God's Word'.
For serious. There's a video and everything.

The guy hasn't written anything new in years, literally. Like, the FATAL review was one of the last things he wrote.
