Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

I love the Family Portrait of the US 50. Very intricate work, with lots of fitting and sizing of the images -- I'm impressed, and I'm delighted you honoured the characters with your efforts!

 

(And for the record, I'm still really tickled to have been part of this project.)

 

Aha, the Board Gods *will* permit me to lavish my Tribble-touched Rep upon you for your hard work, enthusiasm and skill -- so, REPPED!

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

It was a good game, but Damn. I mean, at its height, a turn was over two hours long.

 

Next time, fewer replicants and more insects. Always a good thing. I mean, not as good as intelligent apes with laser cannons, but it is close.

 

Feh! Giants insects are nasty - I want something I can successfully beat up on at least once in while.

 

The 50 are a neat bunch (although only a subsection were present). Personally, I'd like to have seen Wind-Talker in play - but beggars (and volunteer players) can't be choosers.

Kind of brick-heavy. What states are still un-heroed?

This actually looks like a reasonable mix of characters when compared to source materials. One thing that I think is really amusing and also true to comics is the break down race and gender. Not that I'm trying to make any large statement on this one but I think it's surprisingly close to what one would find on the racks as it were.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

All fifty states have a picture and at least a one-liner concept.

Many states have full blown character sheets done.

 

These characters are not done:

So.Dak, Mich, Wisc, Iowa, Kans in the Mid-west.

Neva, Oreg, Idaho, Wash.State, and Okla. in the West.

Lous, Miss, So.Car, and Georgia in the South.

oho and Pennsylvania in the North.

Indiana and Nebraska are not fully finished either.

 

This is the Index page HERE

If the name has no link, there is no character sheet.

 

PLUS: if there's any hero done by Egyptoid, feel free

to submit a better idea. My fingerprints are all over this crime scene.

thanks for showing interest.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

I live in Massachusetts, near Rhode Island. The New England sector superheroes are all very good, in terms of character and their representative nature. Nutmegger (CT) is fun.

 

I'd like to see more supervillains. Perhaps some supervillains can represent states too?

 

people gave a lot of great ideas, thankfully avoiding stereotypes and cheap laughs or cliches.

 

there was a Dark Champions equivalent page:

but it appears to be soggy.

 

Anyways, on the villain idea...

A) would they organize? like the Injustice Gang?

there is a small agency behind the USA5O, there is a govt. sponsor.

 

B) Let's finish the heroes first! (drop of sweat)

 

C) But it is an interesting idea. Start a separate Thread, see who bites....

Thematically, he's great.

 

Picking three nits:

 

Mental Defense: Why so much? Maybe split that between MD and Pow Def

 

Where in the concept can you justify an 8 SPD? What did I miss?

 

Some native American languages have no written component, but it shows him with literacy. Check Wiki to see which ones that literacy applies to for the GM's sake, and make a note about it on the character sheet.

The deal with Rushmore was that he was "as adjective as 4 men".

Plus I wanted him to be reasonably immune to mental things, since he has the will power of 4 of the legendary statesmen...

 

Speed is pretty much the only offensive power he's got, so

Rushmore is the classic golden age speedster, plus its a pun on Rush.:D

 

 

 

And Eco Ranger is great! thorough background, logical powers, :thumbup:

makes some of the ones I've written up look very tired.
