    I'm there for the whiskey , but boxing kangaroos is just a fail unless I get springs for my feet.

    So... when the Joker kills a thousand people, Batman insists on arresting him and giving him a "fair" trial. This lays the groundwork for the Joker escaping and killing a thousand people.

    Can we blame Batman for not killing him in any of this nonsense?


    Don't ask this guy.
    The only one who can hold Batman accountable for the Jokers crime killing spree's is the Batman. Would he ever think -If I just killing him I am saving countless innocent people. Or does he think I'm obeying the letter of the Law - The Joker is Societies mistake. My guess is the former whicjh opens the intresting thought of giving Gotham what it deserves.

    Bugger off, I've got people to drive insane and places to kill.

    Or something like that.

    I thought it was people to kill and an insane drive in the Park ? Where is off?

    Odd, violence is always the last option and if you do with elan and overkill it is Final. At least for a while.

Any action that could have been scripted in this *thing* was replaced with sheer chaos since you could do anything at anytime with any weapon, unlike in other *things* where their lineal style gives the creators more control over story and setting.

    So what are your thoughts on these *things*? Do we need more open world gameplay in our *stuff* or should *people who make things* stick mainly to the traditional *item* design?

    My nephew plays[not to be mentioned] , he wanted me to try it . The game play was different and not to my liking . The graphics on [not to be mentioned] was quite good, and they did have intresting [redacted]. I think that experimintation is nice but traditional zones are useful to establish a game overall genre.Though I would like an open Moon Zone.

    I'm sticking with the Champions 5 th edition rules. A friend bought the Sixth edition and says it is needlessly complicated.

    Then there's no problem.

    Not complicated.


    I liked the old DC pen and paper game that Mayfair put out- never played it because Champions was better, but it looked like fun.

    I haven't read an RPG in a while maybe I'll check this one out.
    Is Mutants and Masterminds a good system?
    I enjoyed the Old DC Heroes game bt Mayfair , played Championd and Villians and Vigilantes some. Never tried Mutants and Masterminds. By the way Champions 6 th edition PNP game is out soon or already out.

    That's funny but true. In the DC Universe Doctor Fate had to deal with Lords of Order and Lords of Chaos. Would Chaos not abhor haveing a Lord. Possibly an ever changing Chairman of Chaos would be better. Hey, is that position open- Rotating Chair of Chaos. Or I will settle for subcommitee on Chaos or a Cheeseburgers commitee seat.

    Choclate chip or oatmeal, I don't believe in the whole bowing thing but might consider a blood sacrifice. Not mine, some random drifter or Rodeo clown - oh wait I should n't have said that . OOpsie , can I get a retcon and an order change for the better.
