What he's referring to is the first six adventures
and the corrections to the JLA web site:
http://sysabend.org/champions/elliott/index.html
(or click on "Spoo" at the mailing list site)
It's almost like real content.
Thanks Again John!

Okay, consider it ignored. After all, I'm not one to see some post that
says that it should be ignored, and then make some long post that just

at a one-quarter limitation, you can ignore it first but
then pay attention later on.
at a one-half, you can ignore it either time.
for a one-quarter advantage, you can pay attention now
then ignore it later during it's combat phase.

Actually, given the HERO System +5/x2 advancement rule, she's 32 times
as lovely as the top percentile (48 vs 23 COM). If you want her 2.25 times
as lovely, give her a COM 30.

erm. . why dig yourself, when you can take over an existing dungeon? Much
more

I even experimented with a few variations, and came up with nothing. :-(

I was able to type in the above URL and make a connection (using Netscape
4.05), however, once the connection was made, the address was changed to:
http://alpha2.albany.edu/~smann
Try this address instead.
Hope this helps.

Considering that I have no idea what that is... uhm... I'll pass.
Oh, as a side note, at 480 points, Raditz is *weak* when compared to the
rest of the DBZ cast. At 717 points, Tenshinhan is at the bottom of the
power scale. Son Goku and Vegita have 250+ pts in Characteristics alone!
These dudes are starting to scare me...

honneamise, planet-buster, lum, ranma, laputa, and whatever
that thing the cat-bus was in. niku's catgirl service co.?

I'm a bit surprised too.
The reason for the wink, BTW, is that, besides the 3 heroes and 2
regular villains, there are 150 Pokemon (including one that serves as a
"regular" on each side). *That'd* keep ya busy for a while, Michael! :-]
