As far as why you didn't see any Green Lanterns around Earth
(or any other world in the pre-Crisis Sector 2814, for that
matter), it was because the LSH was up to the job of protect-
ing Earth and all of the other worlds in that sector of space,
IIRC.

Re: FELION Background needs expanding and fixing up
Originally posted by MisterDI have a character concept that has beed on the back burner for a while.
Before working on charactersheet I want to get the background a bit expanded and fixed up.
The feline/human hybrid character has always fascinated me since the early days of Tigra from the avengers (Marvel Comics) So of course I had to create one.
There are many character concepts that can be connected to A feline character;
1) MUTANT with feline appearance and abilities
2) LYCANTHROPE That happened to be cat instead of wolf.
3) ALIEN from a planet where life evolved from cats
4) MAGIC Spell to turn woman into cat-woman
How do I make the character?
1) Multi-form
2) OIHID
3) Normal champions character
This is what I did
BACKGROUND: To be fleshed out.
Mother was scientist (into one of the life sciences) Was 2 months pregnant (or more depending on how far a pregnant woman would be willing to work in Jungle/Forest environment..
One day a couple hours after sundown, the group containing the scientist was attacked by wild cat. Scientist got bit. Rushed to med unit and given lots of anti-viral and anti-bacteria medication.
When baby was due discovered mom was saved from Lycanthropy but not the child. and unlike a normal lycanthrope. The child was hybrid all the time (Not limited to full moons).
Child kept isolated but with the growing population and popularity of non-human / semi-human paranormals running about. Mother and daughter felt it was time for the child, now a young adult to be introduced to the world.
**********
PS. Mayday, if you see this I always enjoy you feedback.
PPS. I will always accept helpful comments and suggestions from the members of this board.
Just for the record, you left out a fifth possibility for the origin
of a feline/human hybrid: genetic engineering.

How about a campaign based on literature's first known super-
hero -- the Scarlet Pimpernel? Given the current feelings
towards the French in certain quarters these days, I'd imagine
that there would be more than a few RPers who'd welcome
the opportunity to stick it to "those demmed Frenchies" -- at
least in a campaign context.

MoonHunter, you were'nt by any chance referring to the old
Marvel Team America series, were you? That's the only
comic I can think of that had motorcyclists as the main
characters (and mutant motorcyclists at that).

For a really interesting "fish-out-of-water" series-based game,
you could use the show Outlaws as a guide for such a
campaign. The show was about an outlaw gang and a former
friend-turned-lawman from the 19th Century American West
transported forward in time to the 20th Century by a lightning
bolt, and their subsequent efforts to fit in to their new time.

Dear Krusher,
Thanks again for the new bodies. If it can be arranged, I'm going to need a new shapeshifter body. You were right about the unstable part, though I believe there's a way to correct the problem (I'm sending you some specs and notes that might be helpful). In the meantime...
A SPECIAL ANOUNCEMENT FOR ALL SUPER SCUM MAGAZINE SUBSCRIBERS:
With the recent mysterious disappearance of Uncle Lou, I as the senior most member of the SSM staff will be acting editor and chief. Lou was last seen during the aftermath of an evil plot gone horribly wrong down at the Bad Sector Club. My contact at the Space Academy has recently informed me that he hasn't been by with the latest batch of Super Scum Magazines and other contraband goodies, so we here at SSM Headquarters fear the worst. I will keep you informed as further information becomes available
Bad Probability,
You've got a contact here in the Academy? Hmm... I'll have to
look him (or her, or it -- this is, after all, a multi-species
establishment) up one of these days.
This could also explain why the guys in the CCU (Contraband
Confiscation Unit) look so insufferably pleased with them-
selves lately...

Re: Outraged, London
Originally posted by "V"I've just managed to get hold of a copy of the Swimsuit Edition referred to at the start of the thread. Imagine my delight and anticipation as I scuttled back to my Penumbratic Palace and bolted the doors behind me.

I'd been promised Michael Jackson in a thong!
Now admittedly his recent thongs have thucked, but I'm still outraged.
Furnish me with semi-nude neo-albino pictures or it's firework time!

Speaking of things post-apocalyptic, I recently had occasion
to check out the Abacus Dimensions website (the folks who
currently sell The Morrow Project and its support material),
and according to the news section of their MP page, there
is supposed to be a new adventure for the game coming out
soon called Fall Back!
Here's the Web address:

My guess would be that only those beings possessed of tremendous
natural, magical or cosmic powers and/or abilities would have the potential
to survive to the Terran Empire era. Cateran and Teleios are good choices
(Cateran by virtue of her immortality, Teleios as a result of his advanced scientific
knowledge). Menton could concievably survive by means of psionic transference
(vis-a-vis the Witchmen of the Horseclans novels).
Superhumans who are immortal as a result of being endowed with cosmic-
level energies could also survive to that future era. In all cases, though,
they would either have to live in near-isolation from other people, or
go the Highlander route: spend ten or twenty years in one identity,
then move on or "die", then start all over in a new location.

Before anyone asks what CMDF stands for, here it is:
Combined Miniature Deterrent Forces (from the film Fantastic Voyage,
which was set in the not-so-distant future -- back when the
movie was originally made -- of 1995).

Like Mr. Greenwade, I too would like to see a 5thEd version of
Super Agents, especially with the recent revival of that
particular genre in both movies and TV. It'd be particularly
interesting to see how well cinematic super-agencies from
some of the wilder '60s movies would work in a Hero campaign
(just imagine the looks on the PCs' faces when they're suddenly
thrust into the middle of a CMDF covert op).

How about a street-level Hero campaign based on any of the
numerous cop shows of the '70s and '80s -- you know, shows
like Felony Squad, Dragnet, The Mod Squad, The Rookies, S.W.A.T. and T.J. Hooker?

One possible choice for a series-based campaign would be the
late '70s series SEARCH, especially for GMs who don't have large
groups of players to deal with. From what I can remember of the
show, each episode dealt with a single SEARCH operative being
given a mission to carry out while recieving virtually-constant
intelligence support from SEARCH HQ. The operatives themselves
were wired for both sound and video that allowed SEARCH HQ
to see and hear whatever the operative did.

Of the abilities mentioned in the Miscellaneous Powers section
of the USPD webpage -- Linguistic Savant, True Universal Translator,
and Universal Translator -- which comes closest to duplicating the ability
of the Antonio Banderas character in The 13th Warrior? You know,
the scene where he's sitting at the fire with the Vikings and listening
to them speak in their language for a few minutes before talking to
them in the same language.

You want bad PA films, anyone remember Night of the Comet?
Give praise indeed to your poor memory, for it has saved you
from shelling out $10 - $15 bucks for one of the worst PA pics
in the last 20-odd years (me, I paid $4.95 to see this on Pay-
Per-View when it first came out).

Heh-heh-heh... just wait until you get around to trying to figure
out how to do the adaptive armor of the White Stars. That's
what is gonna be real fun for you when you get around to it.

You wanna talk about post-apocalypse stuff that's guaranteed
to kill off a few brain cells? Well, then, here's a movie to add
to the Cinematic Post-Apocalypse List that'll do the job quite
nicely: Def-Con 4. IIRC, this one was about the crew of a
U.S. MIRV-armed space station (obviously, Hollywood script-
writers have never heard of the Outer Space Treaty). They
survive an unplanned re-entry only to have to deal with the
hazards of a post-WWIII Earth -- cannibals, lunatic survivalists
and a would-be college yuppie overlord (who was responsible
for the aforementioned unplanned re-entry in the first place).

Another post-apocalypse setting can be found in the C.A.D.S. series
of books written by John Seivert. The series deals with the adventures of a
top-secret experimental force of U.S. battlesuit troopers after the start
of World War III ( sort of like Heinlein's Starship Troopers meets The Day After ).
As far as environmental apocalypse goes, you can add the movie Quintet
to the list of post-apocalypse movies. This Paul Newman picture deals
with a group of people trying to survive in an ice-age environment.
