CynthiaCM Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thank you, Blue. I'm sure you'll find Omlevex useful in some capacity and hopefully entertaining as well. I've allowed four unbiased individuals to read the unedited text and all of them raved about how much of a "fun read" it was. Hopefully, that's a good sign.

Redmenace Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 The art certainly has the right feel. A good time to be a superheoic gamer indeed. Thanks for the continuing preview art and commentary CynthiaCM. You have me very interested. PS, since the Voodoo doll in the last pick,( lower right cornerish) is statted out you've made a sale.

Lord Mhoram Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Originally posted by CynthiaCM Of course, they'll all get the full treatment in my company's upcoming Hero/M&M Superlink/SAS setting book, Omlevex, available from Z-Man Games in January 2004. Will it be orderable through normal distribution channels (Alliance or others) to our FLGS or will it need to be ordered directly? I work at a game shop, so I get my goodies at cost - so this very personal question - and I can push it to our four superhero RPG customers. We have two HERO system regulars, one SAS and one MnM. As a retialer I like the multiple system stats in books (I mentioned much the same thing to Mark for Dragon's Gate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS, since the Voodoo doll in the last pick,( lower right cornerish) is statted out you've made a sale. Ah yes, that would be Ueeba. Fun fact -- Ueeba was the second Omlevex character ever created, back in late '88. He's a wicked little bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CynthiaCM Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Originally posted by CynthiaCM About 80% of the characters in this picture were NPCs in the various Silver Age campaigns I've been running since 1988. Of course, they'll all get the full treatment in my company's upcoming Hero/M&M Superlink/SAS setting book, Omlevex, available from Z-Man Games in January 2004. Boy, do I feel dopey! The above post was supposed to be in the thread where people post pics of their characters. In my tired state, I accidentally posted it here. Sorry, gang.

CynthiaCM Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Check out the mock cover for Lacie Delmont issue #1! The villain shown here -- Spring-Heeled Jack -- is actually one of my favorite Omlevex bad guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 As this got missed in the Superheo Images thread, I'll ask again here. Cynthia posted a reply before my edit took. on the second click as part of your signature, there is a combat with various characters involved. One of these is a young girl. What is the name of the character and is it a young girl or a woman dressed up as a little girl ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynthiaCM Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 That's Sweetie Pie. She's an adult and she's far more sinister than her appearance suggests. She "appeared" in Drake Einstein a few times in the 1960s, but became more prominent in the late '80s. Drake was always known to have a highly unusual rogues gallery.

death tribble Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Interesting. I am doing a good character called Cutie Pie. Similar sort of look but not for publication. More a Dark Champions mugger and street level crime vigilante without the sinister overtones. If you overlook the fact that it is a grown women dressed up as a child that is.

CynthiaCM Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Favorite Omlevex Comic As some of you may know, Omlevex will detail five comic series "released" by the ficticious Omlevex Comics Group during the 1960s. On our website, we've posted information about each series. So, hypothetically speaking, if we were to release a graphic novel that "collects" the first five issues of one of the series, which one would you want to see the most? Feel free to check out the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmenace Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 This could change of course as we see more of the Characters but American Gargoyle really stands out so far. Part Man. Part Monster. All American! Still, Lacie has a kind of Buffy like quality that has lots of possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 In case you haven't noticed, we're a "Poll Happy" bunch around here. Hope you don't mind that I'm posting one to see which character we all would most like to see.

CynthiaCM Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 New Sneak Peek! Here's a team of villains that made the Freedom's Trio sweat quite often back in the '60s. From left to right: the Vanishing Man, Honey Bea, Gauntlet, Scarlet Cyclone (rear) and the Snipe (front). Collectively, they are known as the League of Evil!

CynthiaCM Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I'm just dropping a note to let everyone know that the Spectrum Games website is back up and running. Our provider had some major malfunctions, but everything is back on course. Our forums and email groups are also back in operation, though anyone previously signed up will have to do so again, as we had to recreate them from scratch. You can visit our community page here. Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CynthiaCM Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Preview Time Again! Here's a piece featuring one of the Omlevex Universe's lesser known heroes, the Chosen Avenger, as he takes on the heat-ray-producing, limb-elongating bad guy known as the Melt Master!

Redmenace Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Great, keep 'em coming. Are your books going to have more artwork than is average from the general game publishers or is it just a handy way to give a taste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynthiaCM Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Omlevex is going to be laden with artwork. We have over 70 pieces of art going into a 128 page book. So, I'd estimate that we do have a bit more art than the average game sourcebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
