As you can see by my SIG, i'm more than a "Lifetime" subscription member.
Anyone else out there play the PnP game?

Sound off with any stories that have stuck in your mind all this time!

I'll start...

Who remembers the dreaded "Blue Book of DOOM!" (the 4th ED. book)?
You know, the one that you opened like a box of Nitro?
(you never knew if it was gonna go off [fall apart] any day?)



Favorite Champions PnP PC: "Sprint" (Speed Character)

ROFL, i was such a geek i calculated out "non-combat" movement/acceleration times in FPS.
(That's "Feet Per Second" for you youngin's)

Sample scene from memory...

Quote:
ME: "Ok, how far is it to the bank robbery?"
GM: "About 5 miles"
ME: "About? Or exactly?"
GM: "Ok, 5.27 miles....Happy?"
ME: *grins*, *glances at cheat index card with 'SPD' and 'MOVMENT' broken down into segments* "Yes, thank you. It takes me 24 seconds to get there..."
GM: "What? How?"
ME: "Well, 5.27/2= about 2.63. My closest 'bracket' is 2.88. At 12 segments down the chart, with both acceration and deceleration, that's 24 seconds."
GM: Ooookkkkk *begins preparing a split scene for me and the other PC's, mumbling something about my parentage...*
And yes, the PC had a 12 speed (It was the only way i could accuratley calculate FPS :D )

I'd get +1 xp per session if i could say the PC's name from memory without messing it up.
(Less you think i jest, here is the PC's FULL name...)
Quote:
"Hi! I'm:

Maria-Conchita-Aquino-Margita-Conception-Esmerelda-Juanita-Lolita-Martina-Mercedes-Sylvia-Consuela-Santanna-Cecilia-Dominique-Miranda-Bonita-Carlotta-Domina-Josephine-Isabella-Romona-Katrina-Alicia-Camile-Dianna-Roberta-Almira-Teresa-Rosemarie-Yolanda-Emillia-Ariella-Margarite...VASQUEZ!

ButYouCanCallMe...SPRINT!"


/beginrant

I'm posting this trip down memory lane for one reason...

I'm tired of seeing another post of:
Quote:
"OM*G! The servers are down again!"
"This game sucks!"
"Can we get a retcon for [insert reason here]?"
It's a game folks!
If it's not working, go do something else!
(I saw a post about a guy who got a leg clot from sitting/playing too much, sheesh )

Try a book, or a movie, or *GASP* another MMO!
(What was that other "Hero" MMO's name again?)
(Oh yeah! Co*BLEEP* I guess i should cancel my *BLEEP* year subscription!)
*hmmmmsss*
(NAH!)
*is loyal, not stupid*

If your football team isn't having a winning season, do you quit on them and find another team?
H*LL NO!
You stay until they win so you can brag about how you stuck by them when they sucked, and now they RULE!
>>>*Old Forty-*****'s fan*

/endrant


Ok, i hope they bring the servers back up soon.
I don't think i have another one like this in me...

*quotes one of his favorite movies...*

Quote:
"What are you still doing here?"
"The movies over, go home!"

...I've give one of my trial subscriptions to the first person who posts on this thread with the movie that quote is from...

The quote at the end has gotta be from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Thats the only thing I can think of. :]

But I totally agree with the rant in said post, and it was quite a read to learn about how you had the speed clocked down for your PC in a PnP version of the game, I found it rather awesome.

I tried learning the HERO system and I had a decent understanding of it, but trying to explain it to others just hurt my brain something fierce. Luckily, I found a really neat adaption of the d20 system for superheroes that looks to be exactly what I'm looking for.

*In his best "Elvis" voice...*
"Thank yew, thank yew verrry much!"

And you're correct, it's Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Did you want the Trial code?
I only ask because you seem to be a subscriber...
