TRIXIE'S BAR AND GRILL

[Andrew]

I don't know who any of the characters are in the game either. Before the game started I never heard of any of them besides Nick Fury. I play Wonderman aka Simon, I know nothing about him except what Tom posted for me on the site but it's fun as hell. Don't worry to much about not knowing the characters, it'll come with time.

[Piano man]

So I'm guessing from reading this thread that this is where you sign up to play a super hero viking. Or is it the Eskimos with super powers.

[DSIGFUSS]

If it were just like 50 years later you could have an Eskimo Rocket Launcher. They were way ahead of their time. Don't let the primitive weapons scare you into thinking you are going to get your asses handed to you by the Vikings. Well..... actually.... you might.

In the case of the Marvel Super Heroes, you wouldn't be alone. We're all learning the game system, including yours truly. In fact, I think I'm pretty much the only one mucking through all the rulebooks to keep things upright, explaining the game mechanics as we go. The good news is the only dice you have to roll are a d10 for initiative, and a d100 for everything else.

Crazy.... are you playing the old school marvel Superheroes game. The one where you get karma points and characters have unearthly, Monstrous and Poor stats. If yes that's aweome. If No then what game system are you playing. I'd play speedball if I was playing a Marvel hero. Speedball or Beta Ray Bill.

[Piano man]

What the eskimo's lack in fire power they make up for in numbers. Use the Npc's like pawns and send them in first. Not that I think it will help.

A rocket launcher?? Damn! No we're not going to get our asses handed to us....no way. ha ha ha

ESKIMOS EAT VIKINGS FOR BREAKFAST.....MWAH HA HA HA

[Andrew]

That would be sweet!

Two Eskimo hunters standing on the shore as the waters lap their feet, huddling into their fur coats as the cold, cold wind bites into their exposed flesh, their hands inside their coats, only a small portion of their faces are visible. In the distance, viking longboats are approaching rapidly as the storm behind them builds in strength. The sound of their drums can just be heard over the roar of the wind.

As the ships begin to draw closer to the shore, the two Eskimos turn to each other and silently nod to one another, then in a flurry of motion their long coats are tossed aside and long metal tubes are brought up upon their shoulders! "Eat this you viking shit bags!" They say as they each fire their rocket launchers at the longboats.

[Piano man]

Very imaginative. I can't imagine and eskimo calling some vikings shitbags, but I guess if you have a rocket launcher anything is possible. I think we should turn the boats around and leave. It's obviously a one sided battle.

[ImpInTraining]

Yep, old school. I found just about all the books for that game system online for download. You can't beat free.

then in a flurry of motion their long coats are tossed aside and long metal tubes are brought up upon their shoulders! "Eat this you viking shit bags!" They say as they each fire their rocket launchers at the longboats.

I like the way you think!

Yeah it's the old school game. Think it was TSR who put it out... wasn't it?

But I already knew that sir!

[Piano man]

I believe it was. Dsigfuss and I wasted.....I mean spent many hours playing that one. Although our games were probably more like an episode of the Tick than X-men

[Laraqua]

I love your picture Andrew. It's a really fascinating face you've got as an avatar. Is it from a movie? I surely hope so because it has me wondering what the movie is about.

But the tick was the bomb! I used to love that comic and I even liked the cartoon... yes I said it. I liked the cartoon.

[Piano man]

I have to agree with you. I loved the Tick. Our characters would have fit right in. Dsigfus's guy had a giant light bulb for a head, and my guy had Magic butter knives. He was Lightbulb and I was Butterman. We had evil clones halogen and my guy was I can't believe it's not Butterman. Like I said prime Tick material.

[Andrew]

Thank you and yes it is from a movie called, "Photographing Fairies" The picture is of the main character Charles Castle. Ironically it's my character portrait for a character I play on Dark and Moody in a horror game called From the Trenches, it's a WWI time era game and the movie "Photographing Fairies" takes place in the same era.

Awesome! Sounds like a game I would have loved to have played in! Reminds me of the movie Mystery Men.

[trixie]

The Tick!!! Oh damn that was a good cartoon! I loved it back in the day. I haven't seen it aired for years though.

Dsigfus's guy had a giant light bulb for a head, and my guy had Magic butter knives. He was Lightbulb and I was Butterman. We had evil clones halogen and my guy was I can't believe it's not Butterman."

OMG....finally the truth about that story!!! Seriously I've heard the tales told over the years....but now I know a little more history....the evil clone thing was always funny to hear about, but it didn't click till just now.

Butterman turns on his heel, only to be faced with his evil arch enemy, I Can't Believe it's Not Butterman! "Die you sucker!" Butterman yells....then begins to notice he's liquifying, standing too close to Lightbulb again. "Damn my good molecules! I'm melting.....I'm meeeeelting......aaaaaaaaggggghhh!!!!"

('I can't believe it's not butter' is a brand name for margarine up here, for those of you that are lost) Not that I really expect to make any sense...ha ha ha
