Now how would you handle a situation where theNPC villian flunky is just intimidated by the sight of something amazing? Someone about to mug, say, Rogue would certainly be put off by the sight of her bending a steel beam into a pretzel. I guess even red-shirts need to have motivations, too. If the flunky's family were threatened with death unless this thug attacked an obviously more power

Hey I think I saw that. Was Rutger Hauer in it? If so, it was called "Bleeders". Tres creepy.
In response to the original topic, I got a guy you can use; I used him in my campaign already. Went by the name *Syphon Philter* which he took from a video game anyway. An enormous man with abnormal and redundant internal organs. He had something like five livers, twelve kidneys, and a l

Wow, it's amazing how quickly things can get buried on this board. But here's the next installment...the Villians of the Supers campaign.
The primary villian is of course, Dr. Shokk. Now over 115 years old, he is kept alive by willpower and a series of cybernetics of his design. His cybernetic construction has yet to be detailed, because he has not faced our heroes in combat. He

Yeah, I know what you mean. Although I only worked the faire one summer in Minnesota, I have always dressed up ever since. Mrs. Surge and I have found there seems to be a whole different attitude the characters have toward patrons who dress up. It's like we're members of the tribe, or something. We *know*, y'know?

If you've seen *Equilibrium* then you know what I'm talking about. How would the Gun Katas translate to MSH skills? Would you call that ultimate skill (guns), or would it be a skill package including enhanced dodging and multiple attacks? Does a grammaton cleric have moderately high attributes and extremely high skills, or would you say he has extremely high attributes with normal sk

If you go way, *way* back, you might remember a little mag called Crazy, which was published by Marvel. I can't remember the issue, but it was sometime around '75, '76, and it had a bunch of popular songs with superhero-type lyrics. The forerunner of modern filking, I suppose. Anybody remember this? An X-men song sung to the tune of *Bicycle built for two* ? Or was I just drea

hey, c'mon guys, this is a family website, isn't it? Even the drawing of Sapphire in her bikini i've been working on might be a little too racy. The Last thing I want to do is to offend or alienate members of the MSH family. But what do you think? Sapphire in a bikini, yea or nay?

See my entry of Josiah under "Your favorite". Currently I have him living at the X-men's headquarters (this is an alternate campaign where they live in the mountains near Durango CO). He's remained undetected so far and is feeding on them while they sleep. Mu-ha-ha-haaa!

Gotta be Magneto. Think how easy the evening commute would be if you could just magnetically fling cars out of the way. Sure, this would be a very small and shortsighted use of the power, but a damn satisfying one.

OK, here's a new topic of discussion for ya: Have you ever played a PC whose sex is opposite yours? Do you prefer same sex or opposite sex characters? GM's, when playing opposite sex NPCs, do you think you portray that sex accurately, or do you stereotype a lot? No right or wrong answers here, and this isn't a pop psych experiment. I'm just curious.

When you say troll, do you mean the troll from the D&D monster manual? Something that lives under a bridge and eats billy goats gruff? Something from that bad 80's horror flick with Sonny Bono? Some definition would help, please. :)

Thanks, big G, that's what I thought too. Maybe one day I'll find a really GOOD artist and try to publish it. (Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.)
Characters for this setting should be big, bold, and over the top. For style I stole heavily from Incredibles, Marshal Law, Sky High, and even the Powerpuff Girls. This is an abbreviated list of some of the heroic NPCs that

A lot of how this campaign unfolds is in reaction to what happened in previous generations. One of the most influential and nefarious super villians of the 60's and 70's was Dr. Shokk - a mad scientist who's influence is still felt today. This is his story.
Dr. Shokk (born Heinrich Shokkenpfalter) was once a nefarious Nazi scientist, who was gifted in a wide field of sciences, in

Hello, my MSH family. I have been playing in a variant campaign for some time now, and I think it's been pretty successful. I'd like to share with you some of the details of this milieu and get your input.
A lot of the elements of this setting have been lifted from other sources, but they seem to mesh very well in a super hero world. Was it Shakespeare who said "Good books ar

Thanks for taking such an interest! (I'm a secret accolade junkie. Maybe that's why I got a degree in theatre. You want fries with that?) I don't, *per se* have a gallery, but I do have a few old drawings of things I could put up. Problem is, it seems to take me *forever* to do something new. It's this pesky thing called work that seems to interfere with my gaming life.
