The Times reports Spiderman saves a comic store from a robbery. Well, okay…it was one of the employees dressed (badly) as Spiderman, but hey — I’ll take my superheroes where I can.

I’m still working out how the shields would work. I like the way Decipher has the shields and other systems degrade (an easy check on the ship’s VIT+WIL vs. damage that gets through the shields, I think would work for each.)
Using Madkoifish’s fantastic model of his retcon Enterprise which can be found at scifi-meshes.com…

New Gear for JB:007 or Cortex
Posted by blackcampbell under Roleplaying Games | Tags: cortex rpg, james bond rpg |Leave a Comment
Sometimes, we overlook the small things… Recently, I came into possession of a Surefire E2D Defender Executive flashlight. It’s a tactical flashlight with a 60+ lumen light (more if I put an LED lamp in it) and a combat bezel around the light and the activation button on the butt. Adapters can let you hang it under your handgun (if you have a rail system like most polymer and Kimber combat handguns have, or on your rifle (same.)
The flashlight can be used as a self-defense weapon, striking with the striking bezel. This adds a +1DC in the James Bond: 007 game (or gives a d2B in Cortex.)
Additionally, the intense light of the E2D can be used to momentarily stun an attack by flashing it in their eyes. This requires the target to be at ranges of less than 10 feet, and a Fire Combat test with a base EF5. A quality result of 4 (average), means the target is semi-blinded for the combat round, with a -1EF to his/her actions; a QR3 gives a -2EF to actions, a QR2 means they are -2EF this round and -1EF next round, and a QR 1 that they are incapable of action in the current round and at a -2EF for the next combat round. (Yes, it really is that bloody bright when shone in your eyes in darkness or low-light conditions.)
Cortex rules for using the light as a blinding weapon: The character makes an AGL+ Athletics or Guns test. Success adds the number of points the roll was made by to the target’s actions for the combat round. Extraordinary success means the target has half that modifier against them the following round.

New Motorcycle for JB:007

’cause sometime you just need something scorchingly fast…
2010 SUZUKI HYABUSA
This motorcycle was designed to be the fastest production bike of its time. While it is computer governed to 186mph as a top speed, a bit of tinkering allows the machine to top the 200mph mark. Powered by a 1300cc inline four cylinder motor that produces 197hp and 102 ft-lbs of torque that shoots the 550lb vehicle from stop to 60 in under 3 seconds. Teh bike is comfortable for long hauls, as well as hooning about.
PM: +2 RED: 3 CRUS: 80 MAX: 186 (220) RNG: 180 FCE: 0 STR: 1 COST: $12,000
GM Information: +2EF Pursue/Flee, -1EF to double back maneuvers.
