tiger Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Considering doing a a product that will be called Book of Muerte. Will house all information released so far on Muerte & Terror inc., updated & re-edited, information on TITechCorp and some new material added. Will also include the upcoming title Island of San Muerte. Some other ideas I have for Muerte & Terror Inc., as well as some adventure ideas. Title will be print on demand as well as releasing individual products for the new material for those that don't wish to purchase the print on demand or have purchased the older material previously. Looking towards next year for possible release What else would you like to see? Nekkidcarpenter, Christopher R Taylor and Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Well, you asked for opinions...Dr. Destroyer and Mechanon always seemed like the top of the A-list for Champions villains. Granted, they are just expy’s of Dr Doom and Ultron but they’re also the villains that most new players might like to face off against. (The fools, the fools!) Since they are so closely connected to copyrighted material I don’t know what problems writing a book about them might entail. But it would be an interesting piece of work.

steriaca Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 What I like to see... More information on the secret Danger Inc./Eurostar war. Options on Muerte's rebirth as either a sidebar or back chapter. Details on various plots and plans beyond the adventure. A look of the superheroes of Central America and South America. A look at the top Enimies of Danger Incorporated. More agents, if possible. DI already has a full rouster of full villains. But maybe some hirelings who either don't know or care they are on Muerte's payroll? Since your doing the LoC book, a look on the LoC's fight against DI.

Have 3 adventure ideas, plus some new "resources" for Muerte to utilize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I'm sure most of mine were obvious. Another thing I want to know is the local superhero scene. What are the local Suppa Amigos doing about Terror Incorporated? Are they actually having some victories against them? How is dealing with them affecting the revenge against Eurostar? How are they affecting any of there other plots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Let's see variations of Prof Muerte's power-level, like this did in the Dr. Destroyer book: low-level power, medium, high-powered versions of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Shomshak I have great love and respect for Mr. Long’s work, but I’m curious what those and most of the original Champions characters would look and act like in this age. The same way that the Golden Age versions of Green Lantern, Flash & Atom gave way to the Silver Age. The same way that Tony Stark and Iron Man became creations of Afghanistan and global terrorism instead of Vietnam and the “Red Menace”. Champions could be a part of the current age. A post-COVID age where everyone wears a mask. One of secret ID’s needing to be proof against video surveillance and following drones. One where the idea of putting on a mask and taking to the streets can become an overnight meme. Heroes and Villains are a part of every age and it would be nice for our Heroes to face the future rather than live in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger Posted May 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Well I will admit that's kind of where I got the name from is Mr Long's works. Also toyed was calling at the Chronicles of Muerte. And like I said it's going to be a rewrite, redesign expanding on mention material and the other books plus some new material as well. New characters new members may be new agents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Of course I'm 63, so you may see that time frame differently.) COVID I tend to think of like 9/11 -- a major event that shakes some things up, but most people eventually adapt and get on with their lives. One day coronavirus will just be part of the background noise of life. Heck, with all the scientific geniuses running around Champs Earth, it's probably cured there by now.

Which do you prefer "Tome" makes it sound like a fantasy supplement, which might confuse your target audience. "Chronicles" makes it sound like you're doing strictly a history book. Out of those three options, I'd go for "book". Personally, I think calling him Professor Muerte in the title is better than just Muerte since many of your prospective customers might not already have an instinctive dread of the name and might not have even the slightest clue of who he is. Or even that "muerte" is someone's name. The Compleat Professor Muerte Professor Muerte with Terror Inc. Professor Muerte is Terror Inc.

Hero Games killing off Professor Muerte or Heroic Publishing owning Muerte? I say it is Hero Games killing off Professor Muerte at first, since it would of been more easier to have the group simply dissapear between 4th and 5th edition then kill off the leader.

Lord Liaden Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 When I rebooted Muerte for Digital Hero #44, I changed the English spelling of "Professor" to the Spanish "Profesor." Just seemed more consistent. But if you're going to bring in Terror Inc. too, then I agree with Sketchpad that Book of Terror would be more applicable. BTW some years ago Terror Inc.'s creator, Steve Perrin, posted 4E character sheets for more experienced versions of the team's members, along with sheets and backgrounds for a couple of later-recruited members.
