Re: Who would play your hero(ine) in a movie?
I've never actually used actors or musicians as a basis for the look of a character.
My group did, however, use them outright. There was a Call of Cthulhu one-off where we all took the roles of prog-rock guitarists. I was Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, someone else was Steve (The Pumpkin King) Howe of Yes, another guy was King Crimson's Robert Fripp, etc.

Re: Sun Koh, the Nazi Doc Savage. Character and links.
Making Greenland arable, when there's a a new ice age coming....I can't believe I missed that the first time....Does anyone have any links to sites about old German pulp or comic book heroes, that are 1) In English, and 2) still active?
Still very much an extended work in progress, but I like this site for comics: http://internationalhero.co.uk/
As for pulp, the best I could get was a list of certain mags on Wikipedia after a search for "German pulp" failed to turn up anything specific. Jess Nevins' pulp and comics sites are great, but not very active currently.

Re: Beware of late night commercials.....
Given the amount of manga and anime devoted to fighting and sports, I would have thought we'd have been something MMA themed by now.

Re: Allen Thomas projects?
Hadn't paid that much attention to who was doing the writing before I came here, to be honest. But now that I have, count me in as a fan as well.

Re: What "Pulp" have you read lately ?
There's almost no buzz anywhere for that film that I've seen. Which is just odd.
Back to the topic, I think I'm finally going to get around to reading that Avenger short-story collection I picked up last year.

Re: Bas-Lag setting
That's definitely the correct spelling.
A quick search of the name dug up a few things, like Curufea's old website on the topic. Which I hesitate to link to because I don't know the situation. But it's out there.

Re: Second Best Game System ?
Perhaps. But those same universally-loved characters are going to be licensed for all sorts of other things that compete, like computer games.

Re: Bas-Lag setting
There's been at least one attempt at a Bas-Lag RPG that I'm aware of. Last I'd heard, a company called Adamant had the rights and were still working on it.

Re: Guide to Street Supers
The ScarcrowI know this is a typo, but you should consider going with it instead. I really like how it sounds.

Re: What "Pulp" have you read lately ?
The book King Solomon's Mines (not the movie!!!) is very good and though I cannot remember the author's name he also wrote a very cool book called She which was very good.H Rider Haggard, and yes.

Re: Support HERO Indirectly...
Exactly. I am working fantasy myself. But when I am done I think I will try modern horror.PS: I am learning, how bad my imagination is. Everything I write up seams so 2 dimensonal
Don't give up.
It's like what a musician friend once told me about songwriting: He had to write 10 bad ones before he could get anything good.

Re: Support HERO Indirectly...
Humm...I have a big question: Can this work for Champions? I mean' date=' a few new villians of 400+ points and an adventure with them in 5 pages?[/quote']I think it's worth a try.
I don't have the skills myself, but I seem to recall back in the day at least one adventure published in a mag that was only a few pages.

Re: Catch Me If You Can: A Champions Adventure
Thanks much, bunneh!

Re: CotN Outtakes

Oh, and that I just got the 5th ed VIPER supplement in the mail today and am enjoying it a lot so far.

Re: Rings of Power
Some intro research to get you started. Links from there might go in depth on types and possible abilities.

Re: Reason for creating team.
They're asked to band together by UNTIL or whoever as a distraction/cannon fodder for the Big Bad while the so-called (and doomed to fail) *real* strike is organized behind the scenes?
(Of course, that's not how it's sold to the PCs.)

Re: Marvel Super Friends
Would they dare use Bucky in the Robin slot? It would make more sense than Rick Jones' date=' at least to me. Marvin and Wendy could stay as-is, same later with the Wonder Twins. [/quote']Actually, I think some version of Rick Jones and his Teen Brigade would be a much better fill for the Wendy and Marvin slot. Could handle a lot of the diversity issue as well.
I can't see them going with Bucky.

Re: Marvel Super Friends
You're right' date=' I should have thought of that angle. I'm not sure if she debuted early enough, maybe one of you can tell me, but perhaps the original Ms. Marvel could fill the "girl" slot?[/quote']1977 for the Ms. Marvel superhero ID, though the character herself first appeared in the late '60s.

Re: What "Pulp" have you read lately ?
I just finished re-reading the 7th and 6th volumes of the Tales of The Shadowmen series. These are pulp tales teaming-up various old (and sometimes new) characters. Many of the older characters come from French pulp fiction.

Re: In Progress From Blackwyrm Games: Mythic America
If the Wikipedia article on Janet Reno is correct, than her father came over from Denmark and had the original surname of Rasmussen, so I'd be inclined to say no.
