Re: Heroes from All Fifty States It was a good game, but Damn. I mean, at its height, a turn was over two hours long. Next time, fewer replicants and more insects. Always a good thing. I mean, not as good as intelligent apes with laser cannons, but it is close.

Re: Ell Champion from Neptune City "Champion grabs the dumpster, and pushes it in front of himself towards the villain, blocking all the rifle shots. When he gets close enough, he'll jump out and hay-maker the fiend." Not long on imagination, but his method DOES bring home the bacon.

Re: Neptune City Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Boston Hatfield reporting for Neptune City radio, live, in downtown Neptune City. I'm witnessing the aftermath of a mammoth struggle rivaling the skirmishes no doubt fought between the Titans and the Greek Gods of old. It appears that the masked hero, Jungle Commander, has just stopped Devil-Man from blowing up the Davis Building. Devil-Man's atomic fire scrambler has been destroyed, but fires throughout the upper stories of this majestic skyscraper are being reported. We don't need the reports, because we can see - and folks, I want you to picture it - the flames shooting out of the upper stories of this great edifice - the pride of downtown Neptune City. Casualties are still coming in, and they appear to be horrific. Folks, I don't know how to say this, but here we are in the modern age - 1943 - and such barbarity is possible. Thank the heavens above that we have heroes like Jungle Commander and the rest of the Neptune City Defenders to protect us from monsters like Devil-Man.

Re: Champions Space Campaign Plot Ideas Plan for Dimensional Invaders. A rip in space occurs somewhere out near one of the gas giants, and a very large hive ship appears - an organic ship that carries hundereds of thousands of Hlung. Waves of Hlung warriors are sent to the nearest human bases to deactivate the defenses. Once the defenses are weakened, the drones arrive to begin draining the psi energy of the human beings that are left. The sorceror-queen is located safely within the hive ship, and directs the effort, and grants sorcerous aid. If there are any hardpoints that the warriors can not deal with, then the hive leaders will be sent to deal with it. If there are any hardpoints that the hive leaders cannot deal with, then the super hlung are dispatched (super villain level). At some point the heroes become involved and have to try to disrupt this process. The interesting part occurs when the sorceror-queen begins spawning new hiveships, each of which are equipped with proto-queens whose only job is to spawn new drones, warriors, and hive leaders. Super hlung can only be created by a sorceror-queen (of which there are only one in our galaxy - yet). Could be interesting. Any comments? Chuck

Re: Champions Space Campaign Plot Ideas Here is a Hlung Drone. This is a wee beasty that would be dispatched by one of the Hlung Queen-Sorceror's many hives, and would serve the purpose of drawing the Psi energy (defined as EGO) out of humans. These guys would be escorted by a couple of warriors and maybe a hive leader.

Re: Champions Space Campaign Plot Ideas An idea based on a couple generate so far . . . "The Hlung, a curious race of extra-galactic beings, have just suffered a massive civil war, lasting nearly a thousand years, that wracked their galaxy. Now the sorceror-queen of the losing faction has teleported the remaining warriors and drones loyal to her all the way to the Milky Way, and have stopped in the outskirts of the Solar System. You see, the sorceror-queen now hungers, and she must feed on psi-energy that is only produced in this quarter of the Milky Way by human beings . . ." Given this, what do you think a Hlung warrior would look like?

Re: Your Retired Champions Character Needed The following is a letter to the headmaster of CST: My name is John LeCycle. I am 17. Ever since puberty began for me I have had an unusual ability. At night, I am able to leave my body and travel through the city. Usually I just travel around the streets and see what's going on. A few times I've visited my girlfriend (well, the girl I WISH was my girlfriend). Nobody can see me, unless I want them too. Sometimes I visit some of the small stores near my dad's shoe repair shop. A couple of times I've seen some of the older guys from the neighborhood doing bad stuff. Once I got so mad, I was able to hit one, even though he didn't see me. Something weird happened to him, and he sort of got covered with a weird frost and stopped breathing for a while. I've found out that those guys are being forced to work for a local gangster who calls himself Mallet. I don't like him, and I've been trying to bust up his ring. I don't know if I should tell the police about this. I would like to come to your school and learn how to use my powers a little, and figure out what this is all about. Can you please help me? John
