    Blasters in guitars is not a new concept. But I can't really see Bono packing one.

    Okay, here is where Strike Force Organizations stands:
     
    I have completed and uploaded to a Google Drive the following: ARL, the Blood, the Circle, the Wanderers, and the Cult of the Beast. Cult of the Beast expands on the material in Aaron Allston's Strike Force. It is 3200 words, mostly detailing the Cult's organization. It includes one sample magic item and a single NPC. Next up is Carousel/Families/Reapers. I will repeat the Background for Alasdar Dell as that is the origin of the Families. The rest of this section will probably be all character sheets of different Families members. Last will be Yoosoo. This will be a fairly complete entry, as Aaron did write a background and I have a lot of character sheets to work with. The cast is pretty much the same as what was seen in Ninja Hero 4e (I think). I may consider the Hell Raisers, which is Denier's supervillain team. I'd need to talk to Jason Walters to see what he says.

    I am going to revisit Cult of the Beast. I have some additional information and a character sheet to add. It won't be much, but it will give an idea of the Cult's structure.

    An update on Strike Force Organizations. Okay, so, let's be honest, I worked on Aaron Allston's Strike Force eight years ago. So, when I excitedly laid out my idea list of expanded organizations, I TOTALLY forgot I had put the Cult of the Beast into Aaron Allston's Strike Force. And looking over what there was left made me decide there was no point. So I have moved on the the Families. The issue I now face is that there is no real origin for them -- the Background/History for Alasdar Dell's entry in AASF pretty much sums up how the Families came to be. I am thinking I will repeat Alasdar's origin, and use that to set the stage for the six character sheets I have -- other members of the Families and some of their superhuman agents. Now, when it comes to Yooso, I have an update origin for the group, updated character sheets, and other material, so this will proceed as planned.

    I had to revise this as I forgot an Advantage. But you get the scale of Aaron's take on cosmic supers.

    Update for those following the Strike Force Organizations progress: the Wanderers are at ~24,000 words. I need to add the Campaign Use and Scenario sections, edit the character sheets a bit, fix some errors, and do some formatting. I hope to have this section done by the end of the week or so.

    Pretty positive I've broken 20k words. The origins of the Blood are pretty much as written in Organization Book 3. The fun begins when I start sorting out the existing Blood, their character sheets, and their histories. I've converted Aaron's most recent version of the Affrighter to 6e and wow... he's scary (no pun intended). The drawing is one I made of the Affrighter back in 1988.

    14,184 words later, ARL (i.e. METE) is done. Next up is The Blood, which will take some time. Then The Circle, and then... The Wanderers.

    The Wanderers are a team of cosmic level supers. The file is very complete (mainly because Aaron made them a Rogues Gallery entry)and I think they would make a nice addition to the other three groups.

    Strike Force Update -- nearly 10,000 words were written and assembled over the weekend. ARL is at least 75% done, perhaps more.
    As far as I know... there are almost no anime-inspired characters in Strike Force. The campaign started far before anime became popular in the US.

    3150 words written! In fact, the background information for ARL is pretty much complete. Now, all I need to do is clean up the character sheets, build the base, a vehicle, and get some location keys polished.

    Project Update!

    I have written the introduction to the product. I have also created outlines for the contents for the various groups. I have even completed the first character sheet! (T't'shlr from ARL/METE.) T't'shlr has allowed me to develop a rough idea as how I want to present any characters who don't have complete background (searches of Aaron's data archive pulls up a lot of names, but not a lot of data).
     
    BTW -- want a sense of scale as to Aaron's Strike Force universe? I have a spreadsheet showing ALL of Aaron's Strike Force characters (created by him and others). It has 4,000+ rows!

    Greetings everyone. I wanted to announce the official start of my work on Strike Force Organizations, a sequel to 2016's Aaron Allston’s Strike Force.
      The book will focus on three groups, the Blood, the Circle, and METE (all previous presented in Champions Organization products for early editions of Champions. My intent is to combine the content written for the PDFs with content Aaron wrote for his proposed (but never complete) Strike Force Universe series of books.
      I intend to update the content to HERO 6e, update the text to correct any errors and issues, and update any references to current game mechanics. I will not fill in any gaps -- I am not so arrogant as to assume what Aaron would have wanted, but I will acknowledge areas where content is lacking (if such a need arrives). I hope to find updated character sheets for many of the early NPCs, but will work with what I have.
      I also intend to present bases, vehicles, scenarios, and villains, just as they all appeared in the early releases.
      I will change names (for example, METE will be called Alien Research Laboratories) in accordance to Aaron's wishes and per his list of corrections for setting names.
      This product will be released as a collaborative work between Surbrook Press and High Rock Press.
    Finally, the book will contain stats for Prowlers & Paragons UE and I hope to have a P&PUE add-on detailing all of the characters from Aaron Allston’s Strike Force.

    PS: that last item has already been discussed with Jason. I am seeking to support two systems that I greatly enjoy and I hope to draw both fan-bases together to support this product.

    PSS: I will endeavor to provide frequent updates. Please bug me via this thread if I forget.
