I'm sure many of you have seen this before (I had, but it had been a while) but it's such a fun read that's it's worth repeating.

This is Steve Perrin's timeline for his superhero games. His timeline includes all of Marvel and DC in addition to the Champions material and some stuff from other sources. It's fun looking at the choices he made to tie thngs together and reconcile the passage of time.

Enjoy.

That... is an extremely elaborate and complex timeline.

Nice. :)

My own timeline (http://surbrook.devermore.net/herosource/wold_newton.html) is up at Surbrook's Stuff and on my home page.

Nope. Steve Perrin's. I stumbled upon it while randomly surfing.

Cool. Some interesting choices.

That name sounds familiar. Where would I recognize Steve Perrin from?

Runequest, IIRC, and other Chaosium games. He also came up with a successor set of rules.

He's also IIRC the creator of Terror, Inc (Prof. Muerte, Giganto, Feur, Scorpia) and worked on the Robot Warriors HERO stuff.

And let's not forget his classic adventure for 3E Champions, VOICE Of Doom! Of which there has been much written on these boards.

He was very much involved in the development of Chaosium's Superworld superheroes game, if not the actual creator of it.

BTW Steve Perrin posts to these forums occasionally, under the handle "Captain Liberty."

For those intrigued by references to his past Champions work, you could go here (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9386) to see Steve's (Fourth Edition) updates to Terror Inc., including two new members, starting at Post #15. They're in the form of Attached DOC files. Our forum colleague levi was kind enough to turn those into HDC files which are also on the thread.

Steve also started a thread discussing VOICE, with Fourth Edition updates to some characters, a few new ones, and plenty of background about the campaign that spawned them (all done with Hero Games's permission). You'll find that here (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9273).
