No, she would have been 19. Or 18. She was in first grade (age 5 or 6) 105 years ago. So of course, she's 111 now (Emma Carroll is her name). Her little boy is 92. She was 19 or 18 when she had him.

Star Frontiers! Oh my God, I hadn't thought of that game in YEARS! It was a fun, light hearted sci fi game, much more gentle in it's way than Traveler, or Star Wars RPG. I remember you could play a couple of fun aliens.
Well, welcome Claymore. The more the merrier.

Hey, whoa, hey... I said it was a PENPAL site. Nobody's bringing over a mail order bride. Let's slow down here... besides, I'm trying to meet other married guys my age.
Wait. That doesn't sound right either. What I meant to say is I'm interested in having an experience with a foreign man.
There. That's better.

I can't remember the last time someone got banned on here. So I'm going to continue to give people the benefit of the doubt.
This is the second "Czech" person who "fooled" me. The first was on a "non-dating" pen pal site. I wrote a long email talking about my family and asking my new friend about his. Then AOL told me the email address I was sending to

Hi Stormy,
Ultimatly, Zen will decide, but I would rather play in the 80s or later. MAYBE 60s or 70s. The pulpy 30s and then war years hold very little appeal for me.

I'd like in. Will you choose some players, and others sweep up the secret HQ? I'll empty waste paper baskets at the HQ if that's all I can get...
If I were to be accepted, I would need a bit of time to prepare a character, a good character. What would I do next?
Oh, and how much are contacts? Based on Patriot, they can't be too expensive to stay within that 200 point ra

I'm glad to see this a-hole back in the game. He's interesting, more than just a typical Big Strong Dumb Guy. He's not mean in the same way as Tombstone, but a bad man in his own, "special" way.
I for one appreciate the update, ZZ because last I heard, Bullet was kind of a washed up has-been. I thought that was a shame, really; he could really be developed story-wise,

Yes, yes. In fact, he could be considered the leader of the Mystery Men, though I wonder where the Sphinx comes in.
As for the trowel, I kind of gave up on it; I think it was just something done by the writers to be cute, so I kind of ignored it.
But leadership... hmmm. I felt like his Psyche had gone up since the beginning, but I think Leadership might just make sense.

Thanks for the compliment, Night Mask.

Hi Black Racer aka Michael Kane! I was litteraly just on page 8 of LET'S TALK ABOUT STATS when I saw your old Millitary Vehicle thread and thought to myself, "Where is our young friend, the Black Racer? Haven't seen him in a while." I mean, it was like 5 minutes ago! Weird, huh?

Welcome, Pale Rider.
You'll find this, I think, a good, generally civil forum. This isn't the biggest superhero themed forum, but the people on here tend to be nicer than at other forums I visit.
Look forward to you joining the ongoing conversations, and starting new ones!
