	Heroes of Horror Excerpt
		Heroes of Horror provides everything players and Dungeon Masters need to play and run a horror-oriented campaign or integrate elements of creepiness and tension into their existing campaigns.
		Heroes and Antiheroes (Chapter 5): This chapter presents two new standard classes, the archivist and the dread necromancer, as well as half a dozen new prestige classes, from the fiend-blooded, who embraces the evil inherent in her ancestry, to the purifier of the Hallowed Doctrine, who strives to stop the spread of taint.
		This chapter also details more than thirty new feats, some of them powered by taint and others useful in fighting tainted creatures, and a like number of new spells, including corrupt spells that inflict ability damage upon their caster and oneiromancy spells, which allow the caster to manipulate the dreams of others.

	Plot immunity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plot immunity is a phenomenon in fiction (particularly serialized fiction, such as television series and comic books) that allows for major characters – usually the protagonist and/or antagonist – to avoid the consequences of events that would remove them from the plot.
		The result is the hero being locked in a deathtrap while the audience yawns or laughs.
		Another is to kill a supporting character, particularly one which the audience has likely grown fond of (for example, the sidekick or love interest, or the hero's pet dog); the sacrifice of redshirts do not convince the readers that the main characters are in actual danger of even emotional harm.

	City of Heroes - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Heroes must fight members of various gangs and organizations and complete quests given to them by Non-player characters (NPCs) in order to accumulate experience points (or "XP") and increase their level.
		Heroes can then enter 'Supergroup Mode' and change the colors and emblem of their normal avatar to those of their supergroup.
		Heroes can obtain certain badges by visiting and reading each plaque in a set, which are often scattered across two or more zones within the city.

	Multiverser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Lord Tek who did not care whether technology was used for good or ill, but only that it was used, did not care who won the War in Heaven because he only found tech to be interesting would be a Neutral power.
		Multiverser is not a generic role-playing game system like Hero System or GURPS, or cross-genre game like Rifts, but a "campaign system", with a discrete back story.
		The "plot immunity for heroes" problem drains excitement from action-adventure TV shows, and role-playing games.

	Review - Heroes Chronicles : Volumes 1-4 // PC /// Eurogamer
		Tarnum and the other heroes you recruit are moved around on a map, picking up the items which have been carelessly left scattered around on the ground, taking control of the mines, lumber yards and other resource points available, and fighting both neutral creatures and any enemy heroes.
		As the title of the game suggests though, the focus is very much on the hero, as his offensive and defensive statistics and any relevant skills alter the stats of troops under his or her command, which in turn has a great effect on the outcome of a battle.
		If you are an experienced Heroes player, the Chronicles are more of a light snack than a four course meal, and you may want to save your pennies in the hopes that a true sequel will be released next year.

	Stupid Plot Tricks
		When the hero launches into an explanation that's way over her head, that will be her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles.
		They're either stupid (in which case their plot will fail and you'll get caught), or setting you up (in which case not turning them in is a very bad idea), or they've turned Good (in which case life under the new regime would be boring).
		If the Hero says he is willing to betray his cause and accept my offer of ruling the world at my side, he will only be believed once that betrayal results in his cause's total destruction, at which point his demonstrable lack of principle will lead to his immediate execution.

	EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Plot immunity for PCs
		Plot immunity does have its place; it means the characters are important, and not just one amongst a succession of characters to be paraded out when the previous one dies, and gets around the local temple being denigrated to a convenience store.
		I use plot immunity perhaps half, or two-thirds of the time, and even then, try holding back just enough that they still hover on the brink of death (I may not try to kill them, but if I can sink someone into the low negatives, I'm doing all right by my perspective).
		Plot immunity, to a degree, but not in such a way that the characters feel they cannot die.

	plot - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about plot
		A plot is traditionally a scheme of connected events.
		The first is the beginning of a series of events; the second is the beginning of a plot.
		Here was a master who was apparently not trying to work out a plot, who was not even trying to work out a character, but was standing aside from the whole affair, and letting the characters work the plot out.

		Frex, hurricanes and tornadoes are plot devices...unless you have a Thunder god in your campaign.

		It's amazing, Hero and Amber are about as opposite in rules as you can get, but they are my two most favorite rpg systems.

	"Twilight of the super heroes" by Alan Moore.
		As before, since the plot comes in two sections, with the central narrative and the framing/linking device, I'll discuss the plot in two parts for the sake of greater clarity, starting with a description of the events that make up the framing sequence.
		THE PLOT (1) The plot of the framing device is as follows: The story starts at its ending in a one-page prologue that takes place at the end of 1987 in a bar someplace in New York.
		THE PLOT (2) This is the main central plot of Twilight, being the story that Hunter tells Constantine and that Constantine passes on to the other parties involved, and it deals with the world of the Twilight.

	Straight Talk on Harry Potter by William J. Schnoebelen
		Her appealing hero is Harry Potter, a nerdy orphan boy whose parents were killed when he was very young by an evil wizard named Voldemort.
		From this encounter, he has a lightning bolt-shared scar on his forehead is raised by dull, cruel relatives (an aunt and uncle) who are "Muggles," the Harry Potter term for non-wizards who don’t like or believe in magic and who tend to persecute those who do.
		They are books in which the hero is a wizard who shows no evidence of belief in God and does not use the power of prayer to combat evil.

		Lycanthropy, as paranormal experts insist the disease behind werewolves is properly called, may miss out on some of the lady-seducing glamour of vampirism, but there are other advantages unique to those possessed by the spirit of an animal.
		While most arcade fighters simply dispense with plot altogether, this is one series that's always gone out of its way to provide a bit more substance through a Story mode.
		Of course, this is no thoughtful game of investigation and problem solving, and the premise quickly gives way to a series of vicious fights between the characters as they come into contact during their respective quests.

		This suggests, to me, that Clarence had developed an immunity to the diseases still in Ulmeyda's blood, owing to his earlier drinking of Ulmeyda's blood.) In fact, when we see Ulmeyda infected with the Heaven Smile virus, we may be looking at the process of "conversion" to the Heaven Smile cult.
		Given his "divine ordination" and the Japanese political party that is most closely aligned with conservative Japanese political ideals, I think that Matsuken represents the reinstatement of Japanese emperorship and the destruction of democratic freedom.

		Not that they talk to elves or have powers beyond mortal ken. Instead, they show their immunity to reality by never worrying about money, ever.

		Four heroes — a sultry wizardress, a soaring gunslinger, a powerful swordsman and a dark huntress — are about to be hurtled over the edge in a flight into a world of darkness and evil.
		Many plot threads are abandoned or tossed aside, including a major life-changing event right before the final battle.
		Both Tal and Ailish have major issues that simply aren’t resolved, involving his father and her mother, and Elco is the focus of a major plot twist right before the finale that, unfortunately, doesn’t wind up meaning anything.

		Though it would be interesting if, amidst all the healing above, there was a call for a specialized subclass, security/guard types that would provide physical protection to most physician players, guarding them from wild animals, or drug thieves, or bioterrorists, or deranged patients, or lawyers, or rogue government agents trying to shut the clinic down.
		I suppose it's very nice that City of Heroes is going to be turned into a conventional role playing game, but I can't say I'm terribly excited by it.
		I mean, there are any number of keen supers RPG systems out there (which I'd enjoy playing), and I'm not sure that either the online-engendered limitations or the setting of Paragon City would be what I'd be looking for in a supers campaign.

	Neverwinter Nights: Thoughts and wishes on the Modules:
		I could do without voice overs and fancy music composition as long as the plot is solid and has a fairly long length(for 8 dollars id expect at least 10-20 hours of gameplay).
		Kingmaker's focus seems in line with the same attitude, but with a huge emphasis on replayability(there are a number of different ways to make it through this one).
		Something that jumpstarts to, say level 10 (you start getting dangerous and class-specific around level 9) would be great; enough to start digging into prestige classes if you fancy them, and have enough variety of firepower to approach fights in different ways.

	Promises Kept: ROTK-M
		Regardless, the implausible bruiser who can clobber anyone, in a sophisticated plot such as those written by Classical dramatists, is never the strongest character in a drama.
		The plot itself, however, is what suffers the most, though not separable from the character-mangling.
		Moreover, the claims by apologists that "the EE will fix it all" — including plot incoherencies — are belied by Jackson's own repeated declarations that the TEs are the definitive and proper, and that all the rest is just put in as a sop to book-lovers, who are the only ones who will care.

		Despite, and probably because of, their independence and pride in their skills, the lawyer heroes of cyberpunk are, like the hackers, usually outlaws or sympathetic to outlaws.
		Whether lawyer, courier, bodyguard, or computer wizard, the hero of cyberpunk retains his individuality and independence by reaching beyond technical mastery towards moral evolution.
		Embracing the increased power and consciousness available through his expertise, he ultimately combines the hacker's cleverness with the cyberpunk's distrust of the "official" answer, to illuminate his real and virtual worlds and ally himself with the wisdom within and beyond them.
