Hero Talk Magazine

[The Doctor]

In my groups campaign I've reintroduced Hero Talk Magazine from Aaron Alstons "Strikeforce" supplement so I've decided to create the actual covers and certain key articles as Sheri Taylor and her wacky staff will start to play a more prominent roleand the magazine is a cool visual aid. I'm still in the rough stages, but I wanted to post my current issues and see if there are improvement I can make. If anyone likes it I might post more as we continue on in our sessions.

Doctor?

[The Doctor]

I just finished this one.

[Lord Liaden]

Beautiful work. Rep for you. :thumbup:

Mind you, sometimes the color choices make the lettering a little difficult to read.

[pinecone]

I second that...very nice..

[The Doctor]

Thank you both, it's actually pretty easy just cut, copy, paste and color. I was lucky enough to game with Aylwin who has an enormous supply of pics and I have quite a load myself. It gives quite a pool to pull from.:)

[TheRavenIs]

Very nice......all of them are spot on what I'd see a mag like that looking.

Repped

[Cold Steel]

:thumbup: Repped! :thumbup:

[Deejmeister]

Sweet! What do you use for your layout work?

[aylwin13]

Nice job on the two new issues T.D.

The S.C.E.P.T.R.E. II article has me (and Forrester) concerned, though. :angst:


Oh yeah, repped. :thumbup:

[BobGreenwade]

Very well done. :thumbup:

[Basil]

Curiously, the middle group on the right ("PLUS:...") is tilted in all three examples. You might want to look into that.

Otherwise, cool stuff. :thumbup:

[The Doctor]

Sweet! What do you use for your layout work?
I use Picture It Express 2000 for Windows 98se(We have it on our old computer and it's the one I use for most of my campaigning).

[The Doctor]

Nice job on the two new issues T.D.

The S.C.E.P.T.R.E. II article has me (and Forrester) concerned, though. :angst:


Oh yeah, repped. :thumbup:
Oooohhhh!!!! My friend there are months and months of interesting gameplay on the horizon........I'll see you Sunday afternoon.
Issue Title: "Father's Day"

[The Doctor]

The next cover is one that we probably won't get to for at least a month. It is a little simpler than the first couple, but it's more of an open cover without the bar and the grabber headlines off to the side.

YESS!!! Everything is fair game in order to get the type of pics
I need.

Looks like a magazine I (or my characters) would read. Very nice. :)

[The Doctor]

Thanks, I don't know if you'd be interested, but I also wrote a couple articles and interviews. I'll attach one and you can let me know what you think. This is the Old School article from Issue 147 with Dynamo, Dr. Powers and the Bullet

ps: I am not a writer or an english teacher, but the errors in Bullets speech pattern were on purpose.

The Doctor

[aylwin13]

Great interview Doctor. It's so cool to read about characters talking about your own character. :)

And Dr. Powers hit it right on the head. Jeff (aka SCEPTRE) truly has the Golden Age spirit; although there are moments when a bit of the Bronze Age shows through, due to the fact that the world isn't as black and white as he would like it to be. Jeff probably was a Golden Ager in his previous life.

[Killer Shrike]

Nice. Where are you getting the artwork for this from?

We've done something similar in past Supers campaigns, but not on that scale -- more as filler and flavor.

Some examples are here:

[The Doctor]

I've been collecting these pics from various artist sights for the last 5 or 6 years much like Aylwin13. I like cover art, landscape and action shots or more to the point statement pictures so I go to comicartcommunity.com/gallery/index.php or just about any other place with pics that inspire you. I really like your editorials and it's a great site. If you added a couple well placed pics that would be incredible!

The Doctor

[The Doctor]

These are the latest issues for Hero Talk in my campaign. I made it a bimonthly mag so it two issues per campaigned month. I tried to correct a lot of the problems in the past with the covers and my color schemes. Please let me know if you see something, your input is invaluable. I did the covers but haven't figured out which articles to write yet, so if anyone has any preference just let me know or even if you just have a cool idea for a cover.

Thanks,
The Doctor

[The Doctor]

Here is the last of my covers for this period.

The Doctor

[Trebuchet]

Forget the covers! Let's see the articles! I only read magazines for the articles and centerfolds! :D

[aylwin13]

Dude, I made the cover of Hero Talk. That's even better than being on the cover of Rolling Stone.

I'm not sure how Jeff (Forrester, aka SCEPTRE) is going to handle this. It's a huge piece of publicity, but he already puts way too much pressure on himself to live up to the reputation of the hero. This will only add to that pressure, by placing him more squarely in the public's eye. Oh well, just part of being a hero I guess. :)

[The Doctor]

I will try to do one article from each issue of Hero Talk. If there are any preferences let me know. I am currently working on the Barroness Samedi article from issue 150.

The Doctor

[The Doctor]

Hi, everyone I gave this a bump because I'm back from my hiatus. Actually my gaming group had become overly enamored with playing golf and I had just started school. I am a little behind previous issues so I will be attaching the Barroness Samedi interview this Sunday and hopefully I can get some input on what other articles should be fleshed out.

The Doctor

[The Doctor]

Done,

I'm not much of a writer, but at least Sam isn't either. This is the Article to go with the Baroness Samedi interview on the cover of issue 150 of HT.

The Doctor

[Macamboy]

Very professional! How long does it take to produce one of your covers??

[TheQuestionMan]

Now we need the articles!

LOL

QM

[The Doctor]

Very professional! How long does it take to produce one of your covers??


It's not hard and it doesn't take long. Above I listed the Comic Artist Community Website as my source and I use a photo editor for the magazine lettering, cropping and effects. The hardest part for myself is coming up with side storys and articles I can deliver on if the PCs see something their interested in. As far as the main article I like to use it as foreshadowing or exposition for our campaiagn about half the time so it's usually pretty easy to find cover stories.

Thanx QM,

The Doctor

[The Doctor]

This one has an established Hero Character from the books on the cover as I see her. A little more sexy and a little more dangerous. Although it must be said she is still a dip. When I found the pic of the character in the Bikini I really wanted to do an article, but I didn't want to turn it into a pin-up mag.

I'll take the chance on second hand smoke with her. :love:

But not the chance of my wife's revenge - thankfully, she's fictional! Er, I mean Icicle, of course...

[The Doctor]

Roflol!!! I forgot to add Issue 154. This issue is actually before the one with Icicle on the cover. My apologies.

The Doctor

[TheQuestionMan]

But where are the articles...

Nice Pics

QM

[The Doctor]

I've been gone for a while.

The Doctor:)

[zornwil]

Nice to see you back, and with more! Thanks.

[The Doctor]

Thanks Zornwil, I've got a lot of the next year preplanned for covers, but my real goal is to start writing articles. I have the last cover here and then I'll try and bring a couple articles out.

The Doctor

[The Doctor]

The Article was written to go with the Sheri Taylor Cover featured just above. It relates to the fact that Sheri is seeing a pc(aylwin13s character) SCEPTRE and her protecting his secret ID and Sam trying to out as much dirt as possible as he clumsily imitates Sheri's style of interview and journalism.

I hope you enjoy.

The Doctor

[steriaca]

HA! That was great - it had me snickering the whole time.

On the covers, I like the advice topics. They add that little touch of what you expect from a personality magazine.

Please keep sharing!

[The Doctor]

I'll hopefully get the articles completed shortly, starting with "Who's the Master"and then the 50 most beautiful metas.

The Doctor:)

[TheQuestionMan]

Who's the Master looks great!

Thank you

QM

[The Doctor]

Hello everyone, We've completed the first part of "WHO'S THE MASTER". I apologize for the delay. Aylwin13 and I have been working on it trying to edit this monster down. I was hoping to get it down to 5 pages, alas it will most likely ring it in at 16 pages when all is said and done. Those of you that read it let me know what you think I'm always looking to improve the quality of my roleplaying supplements.

The Doctor

[Shaddakim]

Doc,
I like the style and I'm interested in the story.

I hate where you stopped (which, believe it or not, is a good thing).

Now I have to WAIT. :mad:

I like the inclusion of Seeker and the reference to the Infamous Doctor Lirby Koo, one of my favorite villains I've never seen.

Please post more!

[Scott Baker]

I've just gone through the whole thread. This is good stuff. I'm looking forward to more articles. I just wish I had the time/energy/talent (pick any 3 :)) to do something like this myself.

Scott Baker

I can tell you that The Doctor has been working on this, although he hasn't sent Pt 2 to me for proofreading yet. RL has gotten in the way a bit. The Doctor moved 2 weekends ago and last weekend was Mother's Day. He's been busy. Hopefully, we'll be seeing it soon. :)

[Shaddakim]

Ha! Great ending and the porcupine quill fight was well done. The grammarian in me says you need some more paragraph breaks, but the content was good. A very enjoyable read.

Now I'm ready to read June's issue. :thumbup:

[The Doctor]

Issues 166 and 167, my only problem now is figuring out which article to write. You might notice that the themes have gotten a lot more serious for the covers than I started out with. In game Sheri is coming to terms with the meta situation through her beau(Aylwin13) and it comes across in her mag. If anyone has any suggestions for which article I should do let me know here or drop me a pm.

The Doctor

[OddHat]

Personally, I'd like to hear the story of Harold Brody.

[OzMike]

Personally, I'd like to hear the story of Harold Brody.

Seconded :)

[The Doctor]

FYI- for anyone interested, Howard S. Brody was the innocent young mutant in an adventure at the back of the 1993 Supplement "The Mutant Files". In 93' when the book first came out we ran the adventure/the heroes failed and Howard died at the hands of The New Improved Genocide I'm not used to the pc's failing so that adventure left a bad taste in my mouth as a gm and this issue is a way of dealing with that demon in my gaming background.

The Doctor

That was pretty much the way it played out for me too - the New Improved Genocide was incredibly nasty, especially if you had them fight smart. Most groups of PCs would struggle with the agents, let alone all the other stuff.

[The Doctor]

My apologies for the delay on the article. Aylwin and I have to give it another pass, it should be posted in the next couple days. In the mean time I'm posting the next two covers and am asking which font you think would work better for the Hero Talk header. Over the last 15 months I've used a handful and think it's time to narrow down one header font.

Thanks,

The Doctor

[OddHat]

Very nice work. :)

I think I prefer the font used on #168, but it might just be the composition as a whole when compared with #169.

[TheQuestionMan]

I love this stuff


Thanks DW


QM

[Hermit]

Amazing. Either font looks fine with me,though I think I favor 168 by just a bit.

[Trebuchet]

"Hero Talk - I only read it for the articles." :snicker:

[tribe]

Thanks, I don't know if you'd be interested, but I also wrote a couple articles and interviews. I'll attach one and you can let me know what you think. This is the Old School article from Issue 147 with Dynamo, Dr. Powers and the Bullet

ps: I am not a writer or an english teacher, but the errors in Bullets speech pattern were on purpose.

Great interview - you created some authentic voices there. Kudos!

WMH:drink:

[The Doctor]

This is the article that goes with the Harold Brody cover it's a combo of story telling styles: first person, narrative, interview format. I hope it's not confusing....enjoy.

The Doctor

ps: thanx Aylwin13 and anyone that recommended this article.

[The Doctor]

It should be noted that in our campaign Sheri is not just an NPC she was also a Dark Champions character living a secret life as a punisher type vigilante in a man suit to protect her ID until she met Aylwin13s character and she attempted to go straight(she put down her padded man suit). Everything was wonderful and Sam Dalton even got Sheri to let it slip that she was in love with Aylwins character in an interview he did with her for her 40th birthday.
To make a long story short Aylwin and his team of heroes get their active agent status suspended by PRIMUS and they decide to strike out on their own so Sheri funds his characters new armor since PRIMUS is no longer footing the bill. It's around this time that Aylwins nemesis finds out that his girlfriend is actually a "bad guy" and tries to black mail her with the info. Sheri wasn't really concerned about the police having acknowledged the fact that they would eventually catch up with her anyway, but she had to tell Aylwins character before his rival could and when she told Aylwin her secret he didn't turn her into the authorities, but he did break up with her. The only reason I mention this is because in my campaign if you can't tell by the articles the Champions totally disbanded about 5 years ago and Aylwins business manager called in a favor from Defender and that's the group theyare trying to start up again. During the next year of interviews and cover Sheri covers just about every team and solo hero EXCEPT the CHAMPIONS starting with The Protectors in ISSUE 169.

The Doctor

[The Doctor]

This is Issue 170 and from this cover I'm currently writing Curse of the She-Vampire. More than likely I'll split it into two parts like Who's the Master was. I'll have Decembers cover out in a week or so.

The Doctor

[zornwil]

This stuff is so cool. Someone should base a campaign around your covers.

[Shaddakim]

Umm... he did. That's where these come from.

[Shaddakim]

Doctor,
I've been active on other boards, but it is good to see the latest issues of Hero Talk.

[zornwil]

Umm... he did. That's where these come from.
D'oh! :o


PS - I did mean to add earlier, that it would be interesting, anyway, to see someone still do so, as it would no doubt be so different yet share all those common things.

[The Doctor]

I agree Zornwil and I've been waiting for Aaron Alston to come out with a Hero Talk campaign with his own characters and situations. Like I said before when I wrote up the more essential NPCs for our campaign they're characters themselves, although not actually played by a PC it's the subtext theat gives them depth. Sam for example is a DRIVE IN HERO character, always managing to get himself in the most unholy of circumstances and barely surviving with some moral or life lesson.

The Doctor

[zornwil]

I would definitely very strongly consider/be likely to do this if I were starting a new supers campaign. However, my long-running campaign (7 years this month, with a 6 or 7 month break for one period) is my priority for the foreseeable future.

If doing this, one challenge would be how to account for the divergence in one's campaign against the sequence as introduced in the covers. Of course the major aspect would be to just ensure using the setting and not necessarily strictly sticking to any timeline, but I think it would make sense to try to introduce some things as these covers do.

[The Doctor]

Well obviously that didn't work out as I'd planned. I didn't complete the story for Curse of the She-Vampire, chosing instead to focus in on my last year of school. The Hero Talk in our campaign continued on in the background and now I'm hoping to continue on with the last 12 issues of Hero Talk for my PCs and for those of you interested in our work. Last year I intended to post "She-Vampire" and I still intend to post it as a reprint for Halloween as well as "I, Defender" and one article to be determined later for our campaign. I hope you all enjoy and if any of you has any ideas that'll enchance the magazine or our campaign they're are always appreciated.

The Doctor

P.S.
In the spirit of the slow march to the end of our earth 83 campaign here are issues 182 and 183

[Shaddakim]

Good to hear from you again and I look forward to your new work.
:thumbup:

Keep up the excellent work!

Also, would I be correct in assuming you've graduated?

[The Doctor]

Yes Shaddakim, I graduated and proceeded to find another way to send myself back to school for a couple more years. I was holding back this cover not wanting my pcs to see it before it actually happened, but why not? It leads to concern and anticipation of how it happens so enjoy the cover of issue 184. I shouldn't be updating any covers again until I bring out the article for "Curse of the She-Vampire"

This is Part one of Curse of the She-vampire. I'm still editing down part two and hopefully it'll be complete before Halloween. For those so inclined to read, please enjoy.

Cool stuff, I'll be sure to comeback again. Lots of cool stuff and I'll probably borrow more than my share.:)

[Shaddakim]

So.

Halloween was last week.

Any news on Part 2? I ask because I really want to know what happens next, both with Nina and how the Foxbat/Mustard hostage negotiations turn out.

:)

[Singingcrow]

So,,, Is #184 a collectors' Item Now? I think I've got a copy in the john...

[The Doctor]

Hello all, I apologize to anyone that might be waiting for part 2 of "Curse", but I wasn't satisfied with my own writing so I pulled it and I'm taking some time to read and explore emotion and manipulation in writing before I endeavor to complete my silly little story. On the plus side the campaign arc dealing with the hero talk covers is over so instead of continuing hero talk covers I've started making covers for the collectors issues(pivotal game sessions) so the heroes can see their own covers. It's like starting over again. These first two aren't that great, but it's a starting point.

[TheQuestionMan]

My Collecting (subscription) continues...


Booyah!

[Shaddakim]

Those are very cool. Any chance of a short blurb on what each issue covers?

[aylwin13]

As always I'm looking forward to who the sexy lady is?
The assassin hired to whack Dr. Wonder, maybe? ;):D

My other ugly thought was that it could be Sheri Taylor's new alter ego, except if you look very closely she seems to have a tail. :eek:

[The Doctor]

Those are very cool. Any chance of a short blurb on what each issue covers?


The first covers probably the most pivot point of our campaign. The pcs had enlisted the help of an npc with temporal control powers an ex Ravenswood student that is currently a housewife in Long Island. They needed her help to stop a conspiracy to send assassins 400 years back in time to kill the ancestors of the 10 most ubiquitous meta family lines. One of these meta lines was Sharon (Klechkowski)Nobles so even though she wasn't a superhero she didn't want her existence or the exsistence of her children to be erased and agreed to go back in time and stop the lone assassin that has been sent back thus far and the heroes agreed to destroy the time machine that AC Tanaka(Billionaire industrialist) stole from the time pirates a year and a half before. Sharon goes back in time, but not before letting it drop that the more she uses her powers the more mentally unstable she becomes and that she can only travel back in time and would effectively be stranded, but she'd try to live out her life in obscurity and try not to cause anymore temporal waves.

As you can guess none of this happened just the way it was set up to. It turns out Sharon never graduated Ravenswood, The Headmistress realized Sharons powers were driving her insane and urged her to not use them anymore and when Sharons personality shifted to selfish and manipulative from honest and forthright the Headmistress expelled Sharon for her own good. Sharon went back in time and had to use her temporal powers to defeat the assassin, but after the fight her selfish and manipulative side reared it head and she didn't see any reason to die. She could only casue things to go back in time, but that also included reversing her own age. Her dispostion change caused Sharon to use her powers to extend her life 400 years, initially this was so she could get back to her kids, but eventually as her outlook became more maligned with each use of her powers it was to get revenge on the Champions for letting her Martyr herself. Much like her reverse aging Sharon eventualy stepped out of the shadows of society as she waited for the 21st century and started dabbling with history around the 1940's(just for kicks she got a Government job for a couple years before WWII and eventually got back to the 21st century, but she had to wait out her other selfs exit before exacting revenge so Sharon hid with a friend that was now on the staff of Ravenswood, but was eventually chased off, by the current headmaster (Aylwins character) that was figuring out that Sharon was out of her fricking mind and by her student file that wasn't a good thing. Sharon initially to a comicbook shop in the northbrook mall in Millenium City where she was cornered by the Ravenswood teaching staff. The only option for Sharon was to go back to a safe point in history so she went back to 1941 where she had an identity an a government gig still clutching the bankers box full of magazines she was leaning on in the comic shop. The magazines were the last three years of hero talk magazines and they would prove to be the instruments by which she would torture the heroes.

One of the first hero talk covers was #149 the one with The Human Dynamo and the beautiful woman on the cover. In that episode The Human Dynamo comes out about being an alien(Dynamo is my superman, but he only just now remembers that he's an alien) and how he came to the earth in 1941 in Bludshaven New Mexico with the Malvan wisdom stones(he was the stones protector) and in defense of the stones he had accidentally killed several soldiers and the original human dynamo(Jason Nesbit) and that Liberty had taken over his mind as per her superiors request and changed his memories to make him think he was the human Dynamo and not an alien hiding artifacts.

It gets kind of complicated , but Sharon uses the info to alter the very reality that the character are in and within moments of her going back to 1941 the Human Dynamos half human daughter She the Champions Brick disappears into thin air and the world around them is transformed into a post depression pulp era version of the campaign they knew, but they quickly realize that the Nazis won the war when the S.S. arrive in the warehouse they're hiding in led by the Jason Nesbit. After escaping the S.S. the Pcs learn that Sharon has set herself up as Feuress and The Malvan Human Dynamo is the Feurer as well as her husband and confidante. The pcs soon realize that whatever happened must have took place back in March 23, 1941 in Bludshaven New Mexico. One of the pcs has the time pirate watch that AC Tanka had stolen and uses it to send the group back to 1941 where they figure out what really happened in Bludshaven New Mexico.

In short: Sharon had worked her way into being the government Liason to The Human Dynamos Team: Freedom Force. The original Human Dynamo (Jason Nesbit) and Liberty(Alexandra Bell) were actually Nazi double agents and if Malvan dynamo hadn't inadvertantly stopped them from sneaking Nazis into the Bludshaven secret installation then Nazis would have captured the super soldier formula and won the war with an army of superbeings. In the original timeline Liberty was able to conceal any her traiterous involvement with the Nazis because she altered everyones memories of what happened that day to protect herself, but when the hero arrived they saw through all the obscurity and were faced with a moral fork. Do they stop Liberty and change their future or just take out Sharon and let everything else playout. Luckily Eliminator(The player with the time pirate watch at the beginning of the campaign had made his ego roll vs. the temporal wave in his very first adventure three years ago. Eliminator finally told everyone the truth about the reality that they claimed as their own. He informed them that their reality had shifted roughly three years before and that in the proper reality Liberty and Jason Nesbit went to jail as a nazi traitors and that the formula never fell in Nazi hands. The heroes did what it took to correct the time stream, but their whole world has changed and the only thing that remains exactly the same is them. That's why on the comic under the team name it says "The Earth's Mightiest Martyrs" The Heroes are currently dealing with lost and changed relationships, unexpected relatives, new villains and a grittier world than the four color campaign they came from. Not to mention that fact that some of the pcs were never born in this reality and the problems they face due to their non-existence.

[The Doctor]

....by the way the whole thing was kicked off with a temporal wave and most everyone failed except eliminator, but three years later everyone made it and noticed a piece of 16th century art that didn't fit. "The Madonna and Machine" There are a multitude of little things I've left out, but you get the idea.

Patrick, I'd tell you about friends and lovers, but I have four pcs on the boards and I wouldn't expect anyone not to read about one of their next adventures.

....Patrick, I'd tell you about friends and lovers, but I have four pcs on the boards and I wouldn't expect anyone not to read about one of their next adventures.

Thanks for the interest.

Dang it! :(;)

I promise I won't read it! Please feel free to share with anyone you want.

This is the first cover from Aylwin13s other character Silhouettes limited series.

I'm looking forward to this story line.

[The Doctor]

This is the cover for the coming campaign arc in like two sessions. It was one of two covers I wanted to use for the the Doctor Drugs story arc. I like the other a little more, but strangely enough this one seemed a little more appropriate. Hope you enjoy!!

Props for all the hard work you've put into this, Doc. The covers are really spectacular, and yes, I do plan on reading the articles.

Shame the system won't let me rep you. :( :nonp:
