Ages ago I started a meta-plotline in my Champions game that lasted nearly five years. The main adversary was a version of DEMON that was based on Classic Organizations DEMON but enhanced with my own characters and ideas. I really liked the idea of the Inner Circle including different magical backgrounds. I decided that each Inner Circle member ran a branch of DEMON but had access to the DEMON technology, artifacts and wealth. I took the building blocks of Doctor Wu and created the Immortal sorcerer Blood Dragon. At his right-hand was a man named Blood Finger. He was a fiercely loyal but very sadistic martial arts master. Blood Dragon's goal was to build an ancient artifact called the Orb of Omniscience. This item was created eons ago by a god that wanted to part with his power. He poured his powers into the orb and split it into five sections. The god created pieces because his power couldn't be destroyed. Each section was flung to different corners of the world so it could not be easily assembled again. The god then walked away to experience the life of a mortal. Each piece was very powerful and wanted to be used. Each one found a way to evolve into something valuable to humanity in its region. When they fell into human hands it helped to fuel various groups into long lasting existence. The pieces managed to empower the lives of the Greeks, The Norse, The Aztecs, The Celts and the oddest being a cult based on the god Pyaray from Moorcook's Elric Saga. More on that strangeness later. The Egyptian people were also intertwined with these objects as they attempted to reassemble the Orb before anyone in history attempted the feat.

DEMON and the player characters moved through each adventure that uncovered the pieces in modern times and attempted to secure the Orb piece before the other. During the creation of one of these scenarios I took a stab at writing an adventure book just to see how it would turn out. Here I present The Mystery of Sable Island.doc which details the first few acts in the adventure to locate the orb piece that fueled the now long dead Pyaray cult. Inside are details on the locales of Sable Island and The offshore energy platformThebaud. Character details for Blood Finger, the eccentric Russ Mason and the songstress Howler. rigs, a giant squid, sorcerers and song...what's not to like? All this is complemented by photos, art, and maps in Microsoft Word format.

If there is interest I can locate more odds and ends from the final act of this adventure which didn't make it into the document above as well as other interesting pieces from my campaign's DEMON.

Re: Alien Wars Character Pack

I have. Right now all of our main data entry folx are busy with other projects. But when one of 'em's free' date=' this would be something good to put them on.[/quote']

 

I just came to the site to buy this and found out it didn't exist!

Re: Hero Character Portfolio -- What Do *You* Want To See?

I'd be interested in this if the characters included a full-color picture that I could display to my players. Obviously, I'd like the pictures to be included separate from the character sheet or of high enough quality that I could remove the character myself with software.

Truly, I just wish a picture file can with each hero designer character pack.

Ok, Dependence has a large list of options that cause an effect to the fellow with the dependence. Many of these effects get worse each time the time increment defined occurs. So, say that this fellow has had the time increment pass 6 times and then gets the substance he needs. Do all of the effects instantly go away or would they return one applicaton of the effect at a time per the time increment defined?

color picture packs

I'd buy this as well. I color all of the published characters I use so this would be a time saver for me.

excuses

I hate to see you making excuses for the quality of your work be it for hobby or for work. Its all good and appreciated. With Hero moving more to greyscale artwork the books are less useful since they are harder to scan and color. I appreciate any color artwork that I stumble on. Good stuff.
