  1. We actually had a player trying to become a junior member of the Freedom League, but she quit playing. You are free to create any super hero team you like. I love the idea.
  2. It has always been our goal to slowly replace the NPC Freedom Leaguers with PC Leaguers. I held a recruiting drive back in December (IIRC), but there wasn't much interest at the time. Let's try again! If you are interested in joining the Freedom League, post here, and we will start working on getting you properly recruited. Players who have been around for awhile and characters who have previously teamed up with the League can take the "short path" to membership. New players will have to do a little work. But I'm sure you won't mind. Everyone is looking for fun campaigns. So . . . who's interested?
  3. Approved. As soon as another Ref approves you, you are good to go.
  4. 1. In UP Disintegration is 5 PPs per rank. This AP costs 40 PPs, too expensive for the array. Everything else looks good to me.
  5. 1. Your unarmed attack bonus is +12 (+6 Attack Bonus, +4 Attack Focus, +2 Attack Specialization). You haven't marked it on your sheet, but with these feats you are taking a trade-off: Attack +12, Save DC +8. You'll need to keep that in mind. It looks like you bought 5 ranks of defense. That means your dodge bonus is 2 (1/2 rounded down) so your flat-footed defense is +3 or 13. And your defense is +9 or 19. 2. I only count 76 skill Ranks (19 PPs). Also, what is "pao pet mei"? 3. What is your "free" Alt Power to go with the Super-Speed array? 4. You can't directly buy Toughness (enhanced or otherwise). It's no problem though. Just list this on your sheet as "Protection." 5. I assume this is Deflect bought with the ranged extra. We need to know how many PPs per rank this is. What can you block? They are 1 PP per rank each: -Slow Projectiles -Fast Projectiles -Energy Attacks
  6. 1. I only get 48 PPs. Shrinking 16 = 32 PPs + 3 PFs + Compression 4 = 12 PPs + 1 PF = 48 PPs. But all of the powers still add up to 64, so it looks like just a typo, unless I'm missing something. I'll change it to 48 and Approve your character. :D
  7. Glad you made it! Attack (1d20 10=14) I'll update the rest tonight.
  8. New favorite show: Burn Notice. It is a really funny action comedy on USA. The new season doesn't start until July, but they ran a marathon here recently. I caught three episodes. Lots of fun! Best character? Sam Axe :clap: RHJa_KXa6xc gY6AZLObnnA
  9. Ginny's eyes grew as large as saucers, and for a moment she looked on in stunned disbelief at the young agent. And then she started snickering so hard she snorted. Ginny quickly covered her mouth with her hand. "Sorry," she giggled . . . and then snorted again.
  10. Thwack is a great word! :clap: I'll give JoT one more day to join us (I PMed him/her yesterday), and then it's full steam ahead.
  11. 25 now. After reading that Wiki article, all I can say is . . . Throbbing Gristle FTW! :clap:
  12. My FLGS isn't going to have them for another week or so. I try to be supportive of our local guy, but he does make it hard sometimes. :rules:

  16. This thread is a listing of the various major events that have occurred in North Freedom that would most likely go unnoticed. Players are encouraged to check this thread and to incorporate reactions to the events in their own thread. NORTH FREEDOM Hannover -- The largest area in North Freedom, it covers nearly as much area as downtown. Much of Hanover is focused on small high-tech business, particularly internet "e-business". Hanover Institute of Technology is located here, and is one of the nation's most prestigious schools for technical education. Kingston -- Tucked between Route 4 and the Garden State Parkway, Kingston is more upper middle class than Hanover, many homes owned by professionals. Despite being close to the city, Kingston retains a very suburban feel. North Bay -- A posh district of expensive waterfront homes and historic mansions owned by some of Freedom City's wealthiest families. North Bay features exclusive yacht clubs and beachfront property, with few stretches of public beach.
  17. Great, so Dr A and JoT will get the +1 to all of their actions this round, since you are at the top of the order. Dr A and JoT, what are you actions for this round?
  18. I was just thumbing through the old Off-Panel threads and came across this one. Since I posted this, we've added two more cousins to the family. We're up to 25. :D
  19. I just picked up Nocturnals: A Midnight Companion (1st Ed.). I love this setting. :love: It is a great combination of cartoonish horror, grim and gritty noir, and awesome camp. Kind of Raymond Chandler meets Hellboy meets Beetlejuice. *contemplates running a Nocturnals campaign*
  20. Sorry it has taken me so long to get to this. *is slow* I can't tell how far things got since your last posts (like I said . . . I'm slow), so we are going to reset the round. You guys get to go first now, and then the Tech Priests (my version) are going to go. As best I can tell . . . 1. Dr. A. is toe to toe with a now unarmed Tech Priest. 2. The darkness has now been withdrawn, and Nareik123 (if he wants stick with that) can inspire his comrades. 3. Jack of Tales (if s/he comes back to this thread) can also attack . . . or whatever. I'll post again once everyone has posted their actions. If you want to stick with the same action, feel free to cut and paste. Don't worry about the double posting. Initiative Order: Nareik123 Jack of Tales Dr. A. Tech Priests
  21. We have talked about 50%, but we'll add your suggestion of 70-80% to the mix. So, for example, once a player hits Gold status they could cash in their PL 13 (182 PPs) character and replace it with a new PL 12 (166 PPs) character. That is fast becoming my favorite option.
