Quote:Smallish leather gloves might also be needed, perhaps? Something the evil twin can pull on in an evil way when he's about to do something evil - he might also smile evilly while explaining his evil plan as he puts on his small evil leather gloves.The female character equivalent to the Evil Goatee is the Leather Catsuit. If your character is already in a Leather Catsuit, or something similarly form-fitting, then the evil equivalent will still be leather, but show a lot more skin. Just like if your male character already has a goatee, the evil counterpart will have long hair, and wear a lot of decorative spikes.

I think our nemesis system will be a separate Issue from GR - it's a big enough and cool enough feature to headline its own Issue.

Quote:Actually, from a lot of the text, it seems the 5th are capturing and recruiting the Council soilders they defeat, as well as performing some experiemnts on some of them - which could be Nictus related, as Reichsman might be out of the loop when it comes to the Nictus, and Requiem mightn't be telling him everything, either becuase he's still sulking at being deposed, or he's planning to cut short Reichsman's time at the topSomehow, I don't think the 5th were going to arrest them, so it would probably be in the Council's best interest to run toward you.

My strongest is a MA/Regen Scrapper - it's also my weakest

I wonder what point the Praetorian timeline splits off from our one? Like what's the event that starts to move Marcus Cole towards evil?

The street fights were added in I16 - not sure if it's linked in some way to GR or not, or if it's just a natural step up from the return of Reichsman in I15.

I wonder what will trigger the new GM? And what sort of monster is it, anyway? It seems to be mostly teeth

Quote:Star Wars, isn't, and never was, sci-fi - it's always been a science fantasy - princesses, warrior monks, a black knight, a dark lord, an evil empire, magic swords, a wise old wizard, a humble farm boy, a quest, mystical powers - and that's just A New HopeIt's not just you, but that has as much to do with crappy directing as it does with special effects. Older movies from the 70s and 80s have a style and class all their own, representative of both the trends and preferences of the time, as well as the culture of it. As far as I can tell, the late 70s early 80s is the time when war movies, specifically movies about WW2, are giving way to more fiction and fantasy, but movies in general retain the old military tradition. If you watch Episode 4 with a critical eye, you'll notice the Imperial Storm Troopers being led like a proper army with proper discipline and rank. It's sci-fi, but it has a more realistic approach.
By comparison, the prequels feel like Lord of the Rings IN SPACE! Sci fi as a genre isn't just defined by having space ships and aliens, it's a genre with a specific approach to fiction, and the newer sci-fi movies are actually a lot more like futuristic, space-faring sci-fi stories. I first spotted this in the step from Pitch Black into the Chronicles of Riddick, steeping from what was an Alien-esque survival sci-fi setting into faux fantasy land of ancient empires, prophecies and adventure. The Star Wars prequels suffer from the same thing, in my opinion.
Of course, the newer films with things like midichlorians, clones and a much bigger role for robots did add more tech stuff to the story, but the addition of things like a queen, a prophecy and a chosen one helped keep them true to the fantasy roots of the originals

Quote:We only have two - my mom's horse, and my horse - so we're not farmersIf you have enough horses (say, because you offer riding vacations), then other farm activities (specifically, harvesting hay and straw) can come pretty naturally. From a certain size on, buying food and straw instead of harvesting it yourself is not necessarily the best option, economically speaking.

Although, I do like to farm rosettes with mine
