Gee I kinda liked the Thomas Covenant books, particularly the first trilogy. I also liked the Clash of the Titans movie. Course, I was like 8 and had all the action figures. I couldn't stand the Piers Anthony Xanth books, though. Looking back, I'm not sure why I read as many as I did. May have been cuz my girlfriend at the time loved them.

Memorize Actually, just memorizing FRED is the best thing!

This was the home base of a mysterious group of mystics who were known as the Council of Seven. While raising the child, the mystics used their arcane knowledge to endow the boy with powers beyond the ordinary. When he reached adulthood, they bequeathed to him a great fortune and sent him to America. Upon arriving in this country in the late 1930's, John Aman set himself up in New York City. Such was the fortune endowed upon him by his mentors that he never needed to hold a job -- other than the one he was destined to have, that of Amazing Man." - Protectors Handbook -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Write-up copyright © 1995 by Dave Van Domelen (dvandom@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu); comments about the page layout should be addressed to Jack Wilson (deejay@cu-online.com).

So many possibilties Well, I guess they are not useless, if I would use them. . . These aren't really funny, just obscure topics that no one else would be interested in. Underwater Hero - Um, pretty much self-explanatory. Y'know for Aquaman-type characters. The Ultimate Ancient Egypt - An under-utilized but great era for role-playing. Serial Movie Hero - Y'know, the old Dick Tracy and Rocketeer type serials from the 30's and 40's. A great genre to play in, a bit like pulp but not exactly. Baseball Hero - Role play baseball games with players generated on Hero-level rules. Just my little contribution to the list.

Cat & Mouse Superskrull said. . . Independents Grimjack Badger Riley Thorp The Hodag Demon The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the old B&W Eastman/Laird ones) The Shredder Cat & Mouse Which caught my attention since I loved the Cat & Mouse comic book. Has Superskrull or anyone else here seen write-ups for those characters?

I've been reading the old Champions comics by Eclipse and Hero when I can get my hands on them. I loved the Galloping Galooper. Whatever happened to him. I don't see references to him in any of the fifth ed publications.
