Title: [ICONS] Oh no they didn't...

...tell me they didn't stat up Charlie Sheen. OK, so they did.

Now tell me they're not selling it... they are? (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=88778)

You know the whole thing about tragedy and comedy, right?

That is funny, but they seriously shouldn't charge for it.

No kidding.  This kind of thing is mildly amusing blog-fodder, sure.  Rhinotaur should've done it as a freebie just for the press of it.

As far as I can tell, that product isn't from the creators of ICONS, it's just compatible with it.

It's definitely not from Adamant.

Besides that version is lame, everyone knows Charlie Sheen's hero name is "Machine" and the has the powers of Tiger-Blood and Bimbo-Mind Control.

I suspect that Sheen is a lot less insane and a lot more clever than most people imagine.

He'll be back by 2014 with a new sitcom.  He's teflon and the "hookers & blow" panic will fall away.

Statting up celebrities as supers isn't a terrible idea.  Kinda lame if done without enough humor, but there is probably a market for it.

You'll be able to tell whether he's controlling the madness, or is truly down batshit alley, by whether he ends up making public statements offensive to Jews or other minorities.  Because the public will forgive him the rest, they'll love him more for it.

Being batshit nuts did little harm, and probably some good, to Robert Downey Jr.
Mel Gibson, on the other hand...
