... I do have some design suggestions. There should be a "battery" that can allow the system to fire while the power plant goes from cold start to maximum...
I did some looking at the 3G3 formulas and derived some rough formulas for calculating rough numbers for a continuous beam laser requirements. Using a...
so, inspired by Heroes (and a long-time desire to do something similar), i decided that i wanted to run a relatively realistic, low-powered metahuman campaign....
This is not really apropos of supers per se, but I recently saw a mention of the new protective foam d3o. This is a b right orange putty like substance that is...
