That's all for now, I won't start on the character creation and things until I get at least one interested person.

I am apparently extraordinarily stable. I have been told this by my friends who take Judo and who enjoy sparring (note: I have not taken any Judo) and find it practically impossible to man-handle me. Of course I have no idea what I'm doing so I can't pin or disable them either so we just end up goin...

The System: PDQ (Prose-Descriptive-Qualities) is a sort of do-it-yourself type of system, and Truth and Justice builds on the PDQ core rules with some deeper and more complex rules. It's very abstract, but it works very well for a superhero game system. 2d6 is the only dice commonly used in PDQ (a f...

Forum Superhero RPG

PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING, ONLY VOTE IF YOU INTEND TO AND BELIEVE YOU CAN PLAY. I originally contemplated allowing a vote on different systems and game genres to decide what the next, great forum RPG will be. Then I decided to be tyrannical and pick for you. I hereby announce the running of a new ch...

The stars really aren't right for us now are they? lego's in serbia, rkolter is out of commission...:/ Well, here's my conclusion: I am a gaming addict and I must feed! I'm going to start another forum game, this one will be a bit faster paced, long -term and episodic. It should progress MUCH faster...

He'll pull through fine...or else. :evil:

Good luck guys, my suggestion is that rkolter should replace his frail, fleshy organs with superior cybernetic replacements! Then he'll get those laser eyes he always wanted. Faster, stronger, more explodey!

I've been firing off short stories to tons of places over the last couple of months. Honestly I wish I got a reply in that short a time, at least I wouldn't have to wait 3 months like some of these places :P. Mostly I'm looking to get some articles made, but we'll see where it goes.

okay, the concensus seems to be a hiatus without ending the game. That's doable. If the hiatus has no end in sight in the near future I may start up a short alternate game in the CoC timeslot, but that's questionable. For now, let's not worry about the weekly thing yet. can everyone give me an idea ...

*sigh* I'm sorry about the recent problems and the poor organizational skills I've been showing guys. I believe legostar has already declared himself unavailable today, so no game. Not to mention RA's grounding. Also, as we move closer to august the kolter's will probably be more and more busy with ...

I find the lack of people in the chatroom...disturbing. *force chokes someone* just to save time I've decided to put a very necessary (it's been 2 months since last we gamed) recap here to give folks an idea of what happened. Helicopter has left with blood samples and numerous other things. Will ret...

....You know what's sad. I misread my calender too. I didn't think tommorrow WAS the first saturday of July either. Well, Rkolter is still unconcious so I suppose we can run it without him anyway. Sucks though. So tommorrow (saturday) at let's say 9 CST (sorry need to bump it back a bit) Since every...

uuumm...okay, am I stupid or is Rkolter missing about 3 zeros on the speed of light?

::edit:: by rkolter - yup. and I used kg instead of grams. I've fixed the math.

Awesome feedback here. Okay, assuming a speed of about 50% c, what would be the minimum size requirement for an impactor to: 1) punch through the mantle, which would I imagine cause at least hemisphere wide destruction (If I'm thinking too small tell me) 2) create a big enough impact to cause the de...

how about a Doctor Device? You mean the weapon from Ender's Game? Unless there's more fact behind the device than I'm aware of it's not what I'm looking for. While I'm definitely willing to push the boundries of real science I don't think I want to go that far. In theory all the weapons I'm trying ...

Hmmmmm....a few more considerations. What I need should be at least theoretically 'weaponized', meaning it's something that can be used reliably, and hopefully from off-planet (or at least allows for enough time for whoever uses the device to get off planet before disaster strikes) and should bring ...

I happen to be an expert in destroying the world! :D No, seriously. My Nanowrimo novel was about destroying the world in a myriad of ways. And to research it, I asked for help from the sci-fi composition newsgroup. You can read that thread here and see their advice, as well as the list we came up w...

A humble petition to the council

I have a question for the almighty comicgenesis Science Council, I'm sure it's one you've all though over from time to time: How does one go about destroying a planet? There are a few limits on this. First, methods should be man-made or man-guided. Obviously there are a few ways for planets to go sm...

Well, given that a fair number of people can't make it this saturday it looks like it might be best to cancel until the first weekend of august. would everyone be available then?
