After collecting, collating and counting all of the GS Karma messages everyday for the last 9 months and viewing them in every conceivable order, Mr. Mxyzptlk was finally satisfied. It was true, they followed no extraordinary sequence at all, ever. Then he noticed by chance that when he counted every other Tuesday's totals back in to the grand total...it changed everything.....
dmiller, he appeared in Superman, as the evil mischief-maker from another dimension. He could be sent back to his home dimension if he could be tricked into saying his name backwards.
I don't care what the 1st Edition rulebook says, if the AP scale is really a logarithmic chart, then that means that Batman, with a STR attribute of 7 APs, can fling a hamburger weighing -9 APs into low Earth orbit with a running start. Bats is good, but he's nowhere near that good...
ED: You see a well-groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo.
ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it?
ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric.
ERIC: How far away is it?
ED: About 50 yards.
ERIC: How big is it?
ED: (Pause) It's about 30 feet across, 15 feet high, with a pointed top.
ERIC: I use my sword to detect whether it's good.
ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo!
ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it.
ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo!
ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way?
ED: No, Eric. It's a gazebo!
ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (rolls to hit). What happened?
ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?
ED: Of course not, Eric! It's a gazebo!
ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a plus-three arrow!
ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a gazebo! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it wih an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a @#%$*& gazebo!
ERIC: (Long pause - he has no axe or fire spells) I run away.
ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo, and it catches you and eats you.
ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so I can avenge my paladin...

socks -- it has been years since I heard of Mr. Mxyzptlk!!
What comic strip is it that he is in?? Isn't he the guy with the perpetual "cloud of doom" following him?
