Whilst is dead in American English but "whom" actually serves an important and useful function and should be used more often.

I'm not even going to bother citing other languages that plain have no such thing, when you are more than capable of doing this in English, which doesn't distinguish this outside of pronouns, which is why you don't get confused by the use of "garage" in "the garage is closed" vs "I'm going to the garage", even though the cases aren't syntactically distinguished.

Whom and whilst are both fine words on their own, the problem comes from the fact that they're misused more frequently than not. See also the semicolon. Thrice is a fine word with a p-leasing sound that is especially useful when one wants to sound ostentatious but should be used sparingly to preserve its magic much as one would a strong spice.

And whilst sticks out more frequently in North American english because it's fallen further out of common use than whom has. you can do good work with 'thrice', but you really need to have a cadence built up for it to fly.

d616 is a reference to Earth-616, which is the universe designation for the "regular" Marvel Universe continuity. I doubt they're actually enlisting Lou Zocchi for an actual 616-sided die.

Obviously it's like the d666 system, except it's two six-sided dice and one one-sided die.

The most basic thing to call d616 is probably a roll-under 3d6 where you get to change one of your dice to a 1. That's a fairly nice set of six stats matching MARVEL, at least, sort of surprised it hasn't been found before this.

First three are just strength, dex, and con run through a thesaurus with all the problems that come with it. Logic will be Int, the only interesting ones are Ego and Vigilance.

Vigilance sounds like the perception part of wisdom and Ego is just the willpower/force of personality parts from charisma. So it really sems like it is just the regular 6 but stripped down for some reason. Its not like regular charisma wouldn't be a big part of superhero stories.

Marvel Heroic ruled. Not enough for Marvel to not play silly buggers and pull the license abruptly, but it was great. We have Sentinel Comics now anyway so it's fine.

This thread got me to look up FASERIP, which lead me to check out Gurbintroll Games again, which lead me to discover that Dark Dungeons has been rereleased as Dark Dungeons X (allegedly including material from the now-deprecated Darker Dungeons) and that they also have a Rolemaster retroclone called Lightmaster now Thanks thread!

For a mini-campaign once I doubled the stats in BASH! and made up some cards that looked like the old 1992 cards for character sheets and it was a lot of fun. Seems like a real obvious hook to drive people to your RPG.
