Yeah... I don't do bees. I bet I could tame the bears and make them my lifelong companions.
OK, guys. Out of boredom (and because I subject my friends and family to these random questions) I ask you this, who would win in a Batman vs Superman showdown?
Batman carries a piece of Kyptonite for just such an occasion.
Batman for the win!
If I hear anything else about that Kryptonite, pshhhh he lost it, OK? Now who wins, lmao.
Oh bother :)
Wow... it didn't show this to me at all until just now. I've refreshed this page at least 20 times...
Sebastian, you rock. I JUST used that logic in the Batman vs. Superman arguement earlier today!
Stop encouraging my insanity, lmao.
I think in the one official fight they did have, Batman opened the proverbial can of Whup-Ass on Superman. Not sure about the circumstances, though.
Provided that Kryptonite was eliminated from the equation, Batman would probably still win. Man of steel is not immune to the subtler means.
Batman has a contingency plan for almost everything, and has spent years studying villains and heroes alike, so he knows what's up. Plus he's a freakin genius.
Superman has extraordinary physical abilities but he's not overly smart and might let his friendship with Bruce get in the way, while Batman probably wouldn't think twice to end him if it was important.
Well, we don't have a vote from Tom or Winter, but it's clear the majority (counting myself) vote for Batman. Batman FTW!
Now...
Spawn vs Green Lantern
Depends.
Which Batman, which Superman?
BATMAN:
Adam West - WINNER - This Batman had brains, and a derring-do chutzpah
Michael Keaton - MAYBE - Whilst having some guile, was a bit emo.
George Clooney - LOSER - On so many levels.
Val Kilmer - LOSER - Would be too busy posing he wouldn't see the pain train coming.
Christian Bale - WINNER - This Batman had attitude, and serious oomph.
SUPERMAN:
George Reeve - WINNER - Manly man man, with extra man.
Christopher Reeves - WINNER - Best ever.
All the others, especially Dean Cain and that 'Smallville whiny kid that couldn't man up and get the girl despite having several hotties throwing themselves upon him because he was such a pussy' - LOSER
So by and large, George and Chris could wallop Val and George, and possibly Michael too, but it would be a mighty and manly struggle with Adam and Christian.
Similarly Adam, Chris and Michael would probably just lay down the paincakes on all the other silly Supermen, and if it happened in Smallville they would then proceed to do what all us red blooded guys have been wanting to do for years.
Well, we don't have a vote from Tom or Winter, but it's clear the majority (counting myself) vote for Batman. Batman FTW!Part of the reason the majority is tending that way is probably because Batman is several orders of magnitude more awesome than Superman. :)
Pshyeah. Obviously. :)

Oh my god, I <3 You. That was an Epic break down.

It entirely depends upon which Green Lantern because both the Spawn cape and the Green Lantern ring are only limited by imagination. Kyle Rainer is a very imaginative Green Lantern, who makes constructs for offense And defense, whereas most of the Spawn abilities are only offense. Also Spawn's cloak fails when he doubts himself and the Lantern ring is run by Willpower of the wearer...
Winter the Awesome[/b]]Adam West - WINNER - This Batman had brains, and a derring-do chutzpahAdam West would win against any opponent though
Uh huh.
Batman vs Superman...
For sure it's Batman. Even with a broken back he'd find a way to take out Superman.
Spawn vs Green Lantern...
I would have to go with Spawn. The cape can act independantly, essentially creating two foes. And it's pretty hard to kill something that's already dead ;) (and I have never followed green lantern, so I *have* to vote spawn)
Batman is so multi-talented...playboy billionaire, dark knight, mayor of quahog. :)
Taking down Superman is probably as easy as taking out the trash for him.

I have to vote Spawn too. Green Lantern's pretty cool, but Spawn is Awesome. I'd totally make a deal with a demon if it meant I got to have that cape. It's freaking sweet.

Yes, but being Mayor of Quahog also means he's a Russian Sleeper Spy. Which come on, that totally adds to his coolness factor.
Does he put on his Bruce Wayne disguise to take out the trash, I wonder?

I also have a theory that since Alfred is almost just as bad ass, he never died. In Batman Beyond, Bruce Wayne is epic old but still kicking butt... my theory is Alfred is still en route to bring him tea somewhere in Wayne Manor but moving comically slow... think the butler from the first Tomb Raider game :D
And that includes taking out the trash, so Adam West has no need to put on a Bruce Wayne disguise to take out the trash.
He may not have a need to, but does he want to? And regarding Alfred, he probably just has terrible arthritis. His hands would be shaking so bad while he tried to carry the tea, he'd have to keep turning around to re-make it after spilling it halfway there.
Don't you want to put on a Bruce Wayne disguise when you take out your trash?
Who's saying I don't? ;)
I KNEW IT!!!
That's OK, I like to dress up as Catwoman.

Pics or it never happend, just sayin'. :p
It's the Riddler for me.
At least that is what I keep telling the police when they find me wandering the neighborhood in green underwear.

Hey as long as your Johnson is covered it's legal! Tell them to stop harassing ya!
Had a Batman villain themed Halloween party a few years back. I was the Joker, in a purple straight jacket instead of suit. We even had a few goons in black masks and toboggan caps, it was a blast.
That does sound like it would have been a blast. I absolutely adore Halloween.

Okay folks, sometime in the near future I may be starting a homebrew PbP. Since I've come to like gaming with you guys, before I even start a recruiting thread, I wanted to invite you all to play. I'll gladly answer what questions I can or discuss anything about it you like!
And this is in No way a sleight against Tom! I love this game very much and wouldn't want to detract from it at all.
I'm always up for new adventure, though as I wanred another GM who was also offering today, I will be away for a couple of weeks in JUL, and whilst thats forgiveable in an existing campaign, having players off the radar that long on a startup is not so good :p
I'm inclined to sit back and let it fill with other people who would grab it from the get go, rather than take up valuable space and then be AFK on you like that. On the flip side if you end up short etc then I'd happily be in.
TLDR~ I dont want to hog space and have you hanging around waiting for me when you might have others who can remain constant from the start :)
I'm with Winter, always up for another campaign. Any details yet? And perhaps friend Tom can join this one as a player, should there be time after the move. :)

It will be Pathfinder rules, I just love the versatility and fluidity of them. In the starting area goblins are more frequent than most places, so goblin PCs aren't going to be met with torch and pitchfork. I'm up for either 5th level or 1d4+2 if people want varied party levels for dynamics. So basically once level is established, anything is possible for that CR. I don't mind a base race party or even all monster parties, I'm willing to work with everybody to ensure they get to play what they want... within reason.
It may cause tension, but I'm also going to allow PVP... if you're a CE barbarian and distrust the strange magics of the wizard, don't let the party mentality keep you from something your character would do. I'm confident enough that I can balance it. If somebody comes in just stabbity stabbity everyone for no reason to cause flak, then they'll be hit by a carriage or die in some other amusing fashion.
It's going to be very open, so what are some elements that You guys would like to see in a PbP?

That's where fun stuff like having your character conveniently be turned to stone or gated away comes in!
I am absolutely in, assuming you'll have me. But, seeing as it is now early Saturday morning, I am far too drunk and tired to comment further on any ideas for the game. I'm flexible, so if there is some niche that doesn't get filled, that you would like filled, just let me know.
I bid you all a good night (even though it's 5:33 am here...).

All things being equal Tom almost got PvP in this game earlier :p
When it comes to death by DM Fiat, I've always been a fan of the idea of dropping a Dire Cow on people.
You here the faint beginnings of a terrible MOOOO-ing, as if the cow in question were the size of a house. You look around, trying to discern to source of the noise, but nothing is visible. The sound is getting louder all the time, shaking the very ground beneath your feet. Finally, you look up and see the massive udders aiming straight for you. It's the last thing you see before the creature drives you six feet into the dirt.
I'll get back to you re: interesting play elements.
We were rather close to slicing each other up, weren't we?

Will definitely be interested when this happens. Already thinking of characters for an all monster party. One that seemed fun, would be a worg and goblin cavalier, but the worg is the character and the goblin takes on the mount/cohort characteristics...this is sort of based off my IRL game where our summoner is vastly overshadowed by his eidolon.
A monster campaign? Novel :)
I ran an all Orcs (and Ogres) campaign for a while, was a hoot.
Thoughts on a character with a race off the Improved Familiars list?

I'm playing a Pseudodragon with a Napoleon complex (with a delusion he is also an actual dragon) in another PBP on these boards, quite underpowered all things considred - so caveat emptor.
Would that happen to be one of Megan's Legacy of Fire campaigns?

Indeed. Despite the posts decrying the overpowered uberness of the Pseudodragon race, actual gameplay has borne out my argument so far that the contrary is true.
-shrug- They'd probably make fairly awesome familiars, but I wouldn't think they'd be overly fantastic as a player race. I was more thinking an Imp/Quasit or some sort of Animated Object/Golem creature.

I love imp/quasit characters. I've played an imp and had a quasit in a party once. Animated object could be hilarious. Worgs are fun too!
My tiefling's psuedodragon became integral to a plot because he kept my permanent Mordekainen's magnificent mansion from resetting by living inside it :D
My Pixie Thief in 2nd Ed was all the rage.
My net's being wonky so I might not be around much this week til I can get somebody out here to fix it. I'll keep you posted if I can!
:(
