Sorry, **NCB** , I don’t want to disappoint you but I stopped letting people have it for liking girls a long time ago. I’ll take it one step further - I’m happy for you and hope everything works out. Yeah, and 40 year old hotties who can still giggle - something very appealing about them. My wife is in her thirties, and when she gets excited and giggly, it’s _very_ appealing. (munch, munch) Made shortbread cookies for the first time tonight. Really Yummy. ---

Ha-ha. _sigh_ :(\*\* I hate to admit it, but I’m working on part of a software package that AOL’s going to release some time this year. They’ve already released the Preview Release version of this software to AOL members. And, yes, we did have to dumb down the user interface so that the average AOL user could figure it out. 😛 > [@](#): > > **tracer** , post more.\* > > \*In the Enterprise threads, I mean.

D’OH! How the heck did a simple “j” get turned into the Othodox Jewish smiley?! I didn’t put a colon or a semicolon there or anything. ---

Goodness, there is really something wrong with that woman using **Viva** ’s computer. And hey, **Tracer**! How can I access other HERO System ™ character sheets? I want to make one for all of us, too, if possible. ---

Well, there’s a back-link on that page to my main page of _Champions_® characters. But those are all **my** _Champions_® characters. I made them by using \ directives in plain old HTML, with a hard copy of the 5th Edition HERO System rulebook sitting at my side, and tweaking the HTML until it looked right. I suppose you could use any of those character sheets as a template for your own HERO System characters. Personally, I like to use [Jet Man](http://home.netcom.com/~rogermw/champions/jet_man.html) as my template for new characters, because his character sheet has a little of everything in it. ---

Personally, I always wanted to see the battle royalle between Punchy and the Kool-Aid guy. One puches people, the other knocks down walls - it would be the battle of the century. And after, the announcers could talk about how they looked punch-drunk. ---

Until I clicked that link, I thought you were talking about that website where you can draw your own superhero. I used to love playing with that thing. Then I followed **tracer** ’s link and it was just some stupid list of traits, abilities, and such. Bah. Anyone know the site I mean? I want to make an **Aesiron**! ---

**Stupid** list?!? Why, I’ll have you know that the HERO System is the best role-playing game system ever devised by the mind of man. You are not worthy to stand in its presence. Worship it, O ye puny mortal! ---

I played one game of AD&D in High School. I played a chaotic neutral half elf. During the first mission, he was hitting on the Orc (or dwarf? I can’t remember) waitress just for the hell of it and she smashed him over his head with the serving platter. Knocked unconscious, his head fell into his bowl of soup and since none of his team mates much liked him due to him being an **NCB** , they allowed him to drown. 😃 Ever played Rifts? I made a character for it once but never actually got around to playing. And do you know the name of that site? I really do want to make my own superhero again. That thing was badass. ---

I never actually opened that thread. By the way, I found that site I was looking for, no thanks to you guys. Wasn’t as fun as I remembered it being though. ---

OK, you must have been _really_ bored. The tornado comment made me laugh, though. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-dead-stop-1-1-03-spoilers/146150.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-dead-stop-1-1-03-spoilers/146150.md?page=14)
