Poll Position: Pen and Paper RPG’s vs MMORPG’s
For this weeks Poll Position, I asked for your help in picking a topic for the poll. There were some real good suggestions made but I am going to give the nod to The Atomic Punk for suggesting "Traditional or Pen and Paper RPG's vs MMORPG's". So this is what I want to know, given that they are two totally different experience, which of the two do you prefer to play? Please take a moment to vote for your favorite, and comment below with your reasons for your pick. As a bonus I would love to know which games you have played in the past?
[polldaddy poll="7203320"]
Myself I have played:
Pen and Paper Games: AD&D 1st edition, AD&D 2nd Edition, Heroes Unlimited ( a superhero rpg ), RIFTS, Palladium Fantasy, Mechton, and Vampire the Masquerade.
MMORPG's: Everquest, Guild Wars, Final Fantasy XI, World Of Warcraft ( for a very short time ), Shaiya, Dungeons & Dragons Online, and DC Universe Online.
All in all while I enjoy both experiences I have to say that if I had to pick a favorite I would go with the old school pen and paper rpg's. There is just something about getting together with some real good friends around a table that you lose with MMORPG's. to throw in a little bonus answer my favorite game of all the pen and paper games I hav e played would have to be RIFTS.

Poll Position Ideas? HELP!
Ok, so I have had a rather rough weekend at work, just got in the door 15 minutes ago ( work overnights ) and I am mentally as well as physically exhausted and in no small amount of pain. SO since my brain is fried right now I am turning to you the fine people of the HeroMachine communities for some ideas for tomorrows Poll Position. I am heading off to bed now but when I wake up I will review your suggestions and picking one I hope set out to write up tomorrows poll position post. Also feel free to drop some ideas here in the comment section for Wednesdays Anime Talk also. I have something in mind already for that however if I see a better suggestion I might just go with that instead.

Character Design Contest āÆ29- Oh My Gods
Ok, for this weeks character design contest I want you to give me your interpretation of a god from mythology (none of the major world religions please, we don't want to cause offence, unintentional or otherwise). However, I'm going to give one rule......
NO GREEK/ ROMAN OR NORSE GODS
They've been done to death. There are plenty of other pantheons to pilfer from.
As I said, it is your interpretation, so it doesn't have to be historically accurate (you can do modern day superhero versions if you want), but keep the theme of whoever you're doing and please make sure I can tell who it is (links to wiki pages may help, I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all mythology).
Anyway, you have until Sunday. No limits on entries. Have fun and good luck.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPGās or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren't certain, don't enter it, because I'm not going to go back through all of the contests and check.

Pop Quiz 5 Results
Quite difficult to decide this one, all of the entries were very good. I ended up narrowing it down to Livewyre, Herr D and Scatman as to who should win. And after much indecision, and despite the fact I had to look on the forum to find he had a correctly named file, I nameĀ Scatman this weeks winner for his fan decoration.

Pop Quiz 5
For this week's pop quiz, your challenge is to decorate ONE of the items below.
All of the items can be found in Items- Right: Miscellaneous. I'm not really looking for anything other than the item being decorated, so you don't have to do a character to go with the item, just the item will do.
You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!
All entries must be in JPG or PNG formĀ (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (likeĀ the HeroMachine forums,ImageShack,Ā PhotoBucket, or whatever);
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
- The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
- Please name your filesĀ as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]Ā before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his āBayou Belleā character image asĀ DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Please make the link goĀ directly to the imageĀ (likeĀ this) andĀ not to a hosting jump pageĀ (likeĀ this).Ā See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.
You have 24 hours. Good luck.

The Big Question āÆ6
Ok, carrying on from last week's big question, this week I want to know what you guys think of reboots.
We all know about the big reboots in film (The Amazing Spider-Man, Man Of Steel, Batman Begins, The Incredible Hulk, the forth-coming Fantastic Four reboot etc.) and the ones that DC like to do every other decade (Flash/ Green Lantern in the 50's, Post- Crisis on Infinite Earths retelling/ fiddling with the origins of Superman/ Batman/ Wonder Woman/ Green Lantern/ Hawkman (yes, Hawkman) & the Justice League, the zero issue relaunch of numerous titles after Zero Hour in '94, Elseworlds and of course the New 52, alongside smaller title specific reboots mostly involving the Teen Titans) or Marvel's Ultimates serieses (what's the plural of series?). But, are reboots a good idea, reintroducing characters to people who weren't around the first time, or are they just another way to grab peoples money?
