    My Digital Hero Projects

    While all of my Digital Hero projects technically take place in my own gameworld that I one day hope to bring to you, lately I've been opening my mouth and saying that I'll do all this stuff. Well, I've got about six of them in partial stages of completion right now, and I want to ask you which ones you want to see and how soon. I do work in retail and it's not always easy to get more than one or two of these done a year and still keep my gamers happy.

    So I'm going to ask you guys to vote. Be warned that some of these projects are too large for Digital Hero per se except in chunks.

    I saw your "shell" for a new Zodiac over on the Champions forum, and it looks like you have some good ideas. GMs can always use more interesting villains, and the Zodiac is a classic motif.

    Journey to the Center of the Earth looks like fun to me.
    You know how you play with a cat by dangling a peice of sting within his grasp, and then pull it away as he grabs for it? If the string isn't exciting and tempting the cat won't grab. But if you pull away early too many times and deny him too often, the cat gives up in frustration. The skill is in finding the sweet spot between those extremes where its fun for you and the cat.

    That's what a GM's job is.

    Especially since there's a HPA sourcebook for an Inner Earth "lost world" that would be a great basis for such an adventure.

    If the poll had been multiple choice, that would have been my #2.

    Yeah, I'll go center o' the earth. Besides, what better way to force that Supers vs. Dinos battle into my game...

    I went with King of the Mountain. It's hard to go wrong with Elvis.

    That's the one that's furthest along, actually. I'm hoping to finish it by the time the poll closes in December.

    Re: My Digital Hero Projects

    Gotta go with the New Zodiac, myself. A new take on that team would be a welcome addition, since my players (in past campaigns) have already dealt with the 4th edition Zodiac many times.

    I notice that Foxbat for President isn't listed -- does that mean it's complete and submitted?

    Thanks, good to know. Always good to have something to run involving the Cowled Crusader.

    More like the Dog/Marsupial of Doom, but sure.

    Oh, and what's at the Center of the Earth in Legacies?

    "The Council Shall Rule The World..."

    "...And the Oligarch Shall Rule the Council!"

    There's still a creepy primitive jungle civilization down there, but it's not nearly as important as having a different take on "Supervillians From a Savage Land."

    Re: My Digital Hero Projects

    A lot of these would be useful to me, but as I currently am robbing ideas for a teen campaign I'm running, I went with Paul Revere High. If you can get a good map of the school with it, that would be gravy.

    I guarantee you that no setting or adventure that I design comes without maps, Hermit. Maps are like gold for adventure sales.
