Here's one of LDM's higher-level minions:

Governor Oculus (with Oculoid drone servitor)

For all his power, not even Lord Dark Matter can be everywhere in his growing empire; to this end, he has chosen ruthless beings

of all sorts -- male, female, as well as some that can't be easily classified -- to rule over conquered worlds in his name. One of

the most ruthless of these individuals is a man known only as Governor Oculus, who was installed as the ruler-by-proxy of an

Elysian colony world which has since become known only as the Lost Colony, as its inhabitants had no time to give it a name

before the planet was overrun and conquered by units of the Nth Legion of Infinity. Not only does Oculus have several of the

Legion's cohorts to call upon if need be to quell unrest or outright rebellion, he also has a number of cybernetically-controlled

robotic servitors known as Oculoids which he can use as remotely-controlled surveillance drones -- or, if need be, as assassins.

The Oculoids are more than adequately equipped to carry out that particular part of their design;  not only are they equipped

with razor-sharp claws on their hands and feet, but they are also armed with twin shoulder-mounted plasma-bolt projectors

as well as a scorpion-like tail as well. The tail 'stinger' can either be used to deliver a lethal neurotoxin or -- when a live captive

is required for 'questioning' -- a non-lethal paralytic agent into its victim. As for the claws, they can also be used as climbing

tools, as they can easily pierce stone walls -- even if said walls are made of granite (or its alien equivalent). Oculoids are also

equipped with a holographic 'camouflage field' generator, which enables them to move about with virtual invisibility even in

the most crowded of environments; in addition, internal sound-dampening equipment enables the Oculoids to move with

absolute silence. With all of these advantages, it is easy to see why Oculoids are some of the most feared weapons in the

arsenal of Lord Dark Matter, as well as those who serve him.

Oculus himself is never without access to one of his Oculoids at any given time; only when he is in the presence of his master

does he disconnect from whatever unit he's using at the time. This is because of the very real possibility that a rebel with the

appropriate skills could take control of an Oculoid and use it himself to try and kill the Governor or Lord Dark Matter. Oculus --

not being a fool -- is very careful not to provide such opportunities to his enemies. Besides, he -- not to mention every other

Governor in Dark Matter's empire -- knows full well what happened to the last Governor who failed his master in that regard.

They still have nightmares about the incident -- and what happened to their colleague.

Here's the next of my WoW offerings:

Tauren Shaman

Major Tom 2009

I just went to the FdH website to see if it was working again (I'd been getting an 'Object Not Found!' notice whenever I tried to get

onto the FdH2011 part of the site), only to find what looks like a farewell notice on the site (granted, I don't read Portugese, but

that's what it looks like to me -- and the image of a tombstone with the site logo on it, with an undead hand raising up from the

ground tends to support that notion).

Major Tom 2009

I can only think of four, possibly five members of Batman's Rogues Gallery that might be especially dangerous to the Sailor Guardians/

Scouts -- Bane (because of being superhumanly strong when he's cranked up on Venom), Joker (due to his madness and sheer unpre-

dictability), Killer Croc (superhumanly strong and just plain vicious), Poison Ivy (due to her peculiar "hobby" as well as her "friends"),

and Professor Hugo Strange (somebody who's smart enough to -- maybe -- figure out their secret identities, as well as to come up with

the appropriate mind games to use against each of them).

Major Tom 2009

One has to wonder how a first-time meeting between the Sailor Scouts and a certain evil-fighting demon would go?

Of course, I'm assuming that the girls don't suffer from a case of the Charmed mentality ("It's a demon! Vanquish it!")...

Change! Change! Transmogrify!

And here's WoW character type No. 2 (which took several hours to do, especially the ears):

Night Elf warrior and Nightsaber mount

Major Tom 2009

In all the years that I've checked out this thread (or contributed to it), I can't recall ever seeing that anyone has

ever attempted to do any of the character types from WoW. So today, I decided to give it a shot, and here's my

first attempt right here:

Draenai Sorceress

The feet were the only really hard part to do; I had to 'skinny' them up so they'd fit the lower legs in the right way

(or as close as I could get to it).

Major Tom 2009

Will the Nelson Institute have a branch in Gotham City, seeing as the city is on the East Coast -- with all of that access

to Atlantis, Poseidonis, and whatever subsurface nastiness might be lurking beneath the waves?

Paradox Timely - Was Holly supposed to be kidnapped yet again in this period of time? No or yes, it does not matter. Sneak in, free her, then once Holly is safe, disguise herself as Holly and take her place, cause Paradox Timely is a freek like that.

Especially if said alien has tentacles...lots and lots of tentacles.

Given her -- unusual - hobbies, she'd no doubt consider that a tremendous timesaver...

Are puppies and kittens cute ?

 

Is Gillian Anderson a goddess ?

 

The answer to all of these is Yes.

Since I'm going with the modern version, both Robin (Damian Wayne) is interested in Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) and Nightwing (Dick Grayson) is interested in Batgirl (Barbara Gordon).

 

Gotham's Chelsea neighborhood replaces Tokyo's Jubon District as their main stomping grounds.  The Shinto shrine Akiko (Sailor Mars) is a miko at, and the Sailor Guardians often meet at, is just beyond the city limits.

Can we assume that this campaign is going to take place before the events of "The Killing Joke" story from several years

ago in the Batman comic, since you've ID'd Barbara Gordon as Batgirl rather than as Oracle?

Quick! To the Bat-Poles!

I see you remember some of my crazier ideas from the past.

 

Of course, a race between the Batmobile and K.I.T.T. might be cool.  It would be held at Gotham Raceway Park, a Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course clone, that Bruce owns, instead of on the street.  Much safer that way.

Oh, yes, your ideas were very memorable.

Speaking of which, I can just imagine the hassle that Bats would face if Sensor Man were to show up in Gotham and (if you'll pardon

the expression) gets a whiff of his secret identity...

Major Tom 2009

And, of course -- if the past campaigns of yours that have been described here on the forums in years past are any indication -- there will

be at least one or two glove-wearing ninja nurses in the background somewhere.

Not to mention a (possible) street race between the Batmobile and a certain super-TransAm/Cylon wannabe...

Hey, everybody. Its been awhile since I posted anyhthing here but now i'm back.

 

So,  I was running a D&D game on Skype that got put on a three month hiatus leading up to Christmas becuase of real life scheduling issues. While we were down i started thinking of doing a Champions game on Skype. It worked so well with D&D i thought I would see if my four players were up for it. Since most are veterans of the Defenders Congregate game i knew they would be.

 

So all I said to them was I need you to have a shared origin, matching costumes, and...oh, you all have to be brothers. Except for that  you can  choose any era or setting to play in and i'd roll with it.

They chose the Atomic Age, and mostly in space. So, i decided they would split their time having adventures in space and in 1950's Earth. So with a little Brainstorming, this is what we all came up with.

 

Year: 1954

Setting: Default Champions Universe, at the end of the Golden Age and just before the dawning of the Silver Age. Assume  the timeline is accurate up until 1954. after all the Players might totally change everything from that point on. LOL.

Place: Las Vegas, Nevada (specifically in the Groom Lake area as the old abandoned air base will be their HQ, Yes they will be the start of Area 51)

Shared Origin: Since most of the PC's will be scientists, they decided they would build a super telescope but when they tried it out they were hit by some strange space ray and gained super powers.

Wealth: Not only does their family have a share in one or two silver mines in the Groom Lake area, but the PCs all invented stuff  like Super Glue, Velcro, and Scothgard, some a few years before it was actually invented in the real world.

 

The PC's so far:

 

Rex Atom, The Molecular Man:  The oldest of the Atom boys and world renowned Chemist who gained shrinking powers. Rex is a no-nonsense, straight laced fella that believes Beatniks need to get a job and McCarthy needs more funding.  He was in the Navy before being pulled into the Manhatten Project as one of  Openhiemer's interns before getting his degree in chemistry at Harvard.

 

Unknown Atom: no name yet. but is the second oldest and world renowned Pyhsist who gained gravity/density manipulation powers. Not much more to go on than that yet.

 

Brock Atom:  The Youngest of the Atom Boys and world renowned Engineneer who is looking at a TK teleportor.  Brock fought in the Korean War, probably in the Army Corps of Engineers, but  being the youngest he doesn't listen to the squares.

 

The fourth player hasn't gotten back to me yet but was talking about some supporter type role.

 

And I picked up a fifth player, another Defender's veteran playing James Atom,  The World's Best Pilot who gained cosmic energy powers as a flying blaster. Probably flew missions in WWII and Korea but I havent got a background yet. but  he is the first one to send me a Character Sheet.

 

Anyhoo, I'd appreciate any thoughts, plot hooks and adventure ideas you guys might have. The plot ideas can be one to five players, becuase sometimes not everybody can show up, so a variety of plug and go adventure ideas would be good.

 

People getting superpowers from a space ray channeled through a telescope, eh?

Sounds a lot like the origin story of Dr. Light II...

Major Tom 2009

You've got a supervillainess-in-training clique in a school that mostly has superheroines-in-training?

Must make for some interesting catfights for the faculty to have to deal with...

(EDIT: make that two SV-I-T cliques; I'd missed seeing the Secret Seven in the poll choices.)

Major Tom 2009

How about a member called Rabbit Punch (his power would be to be able to hit an opponent repeatably at super-speed,

and in a way that would be considered illegal in a professional match)?
