Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members These guys sound like a hoot!!!

This site is cool. Actually met this guy, Thomas Floyd at a comic book convention. Its a pretty cool read. His little Lightning Legion membership patch and coin are pretty cool too. www.captainspectre.com Enjoy! Oh, and this guy did the interior illo for moonstone's The Spider Cronicles, a series of short stories about The Spider from the likes of Denny O'neil and Chuck Dixon, among others.

Re: Heroes of the Turakian Age Yes. They are scheduled to be posted right after Defenders Congregate! updates are. Oh wait................

Re: [Campaign] DEFENDERS CONGREGATE!! Since I've nothing better to do at four in the morning: *BUMP*

Re: matchmaker for masks? I also got the Scarlet Witch. With Black Canary (alright! just need to keep looking over my shoulder for that emerald arrow that would be flying at me;) ), and X-23 are my back ups. Hmmm, I was never big on Wolvie so might pass on this one.

Re: [Campaign] DEFENDERS CONGREGATE!! Don't worry, Mechanon will be my science fair project;)

Re: [Campaign] DEFENDERS CONGREGATE!! Ryan, If you remeber you kicked Eurostars a$$. Then you went bad and conquered the whole world, making Dr. Destroyer your slap puppy!

Re: Mutants and Materminds Your not weird, Groove, I feel the same way. I could never get into the Marvel or Dc RPGs because of that. ( And even Star Wars to some extent). But give me a CU or a FCU (Freedom City Universe) and its all okay. Oh, and the M&M books are a great source to swipe from.

Re: Running jokes in your campaign In Templar's Defenders Congregate Campaign, there are several running jokes. Here's a few. Warforge is our resident Mystic Brick type. He is a metal golem built by Vulcan. Anyway, during one combat the villians shoved a metal light pole through his torso. No worries, since he could absorb metal into his body that's what he did, telling the GM: " I absorb the pole!" Its become a running joke. " Are you going to absorb the pole?" or "He only absorbs poles" and such. Mechanon doesn't exist in our universe--- yet. The running joke is that my teenaged uber genuis is going to inadvertantly create him. It usually goes something like this: Tomorrow Boy: It should be able to create an artifical minature sun that we could use power our base.No problem. PC: Yea, until you build Mechanon! Nighthawk is billionare Jack Kirby. During one adventure the rest of the players eventually discovered that fact. So everybody knows Nighthawk secret ID. Except our leader Fantastic-Man. See, he can't seem to wrap his head around that concept. So everytime he is in Jack Kirby's presence he says something like "Sure wish Nights was here." or "I wonder were Nighhawk is? we sure could use him", etc. Speaking of Nighthawk, every game session he has to jump off/down something. off a roof, down an elevator shaft, etc. Rampant Lion is a PC who originates from England, so the running joke with him is "don't mind him, he's British", no matter what it is he said or done.

Re: Older Gamers, Older Characters? In the current Champs game I'm in, I play Tomorrow Boy, a 15 year old super genuis from the future. ( I myself am currently 38, which makes me the oldest amongst our players, most being late twenties to early thirties, I believe.) Anyway he has been a blast to play. I'm trying to remember if i played any older characters in any RPG, but I don't remember if i did. D&D was always a shame because I always wanted to play the old wizend wizard, which is hard to justify at first level:rolleyes: I think my oldest characters have been early thirties. On another note, This discussion reminded me of a campaign idea I once had were the *young* JLA-like team were killed and the PCs, who were all retired or aging heroes, had to step up and fill the gap left by the supreme team. Could have been fun.

Re: Who are the top 5 most powerful characters in your Campaign. Templar, nice to see Analagous make the number one spot since I came up with his name and concept waaaay back for Frydaddy! You forgot to add Jack Kirby (Nighthawk) to your list! I mean he single handedly beat Eurostar.....in his secret ID! (granted it was a divide and conguer thing...and Fiacho was not present;) )

Re: Champions Universe without the Crowns of Krimm Well, who's to say that the Crown's are the only thing left by Krimm? Sceptres usually go hand in hand with Crowns. Maybe the Sceptres of Krimm are floating around somewhere waiting for some unsupecting fool to find one of them. Another option you could take is the whole AIM/Cosmic Cube thing but with a mystic twist. DEMON starts working on a ritual to create a Crown of there very own, could be called the Demon Crown or something. But DEMON needs to obtain several things for the ritual, thus it becomes an adventure were the PC's try and stop DEMON. If they fail, DEMON succeeds in creating a Crown but it proves unstable and disappears....to some where else. Now its floating around out there and the PC's are not sure when it will pop up again.

Re: Help with old 4th Edition adventure That's right! Atlas Unleashed. I used to have it, but lost it years ago. I forgot about Genetic Deviant X! Thanks Edsel and Shaft. And thanks to my old GM, Frydaddy! I probably should have just e-mailed him! He practically has a complete archive of Champions material!

Does anybody remember the name of that old adventure using the villian group ATLAS (I believe thats the name) and the charity front that funded them? I ran this ages ago but can't remember the title. I remember the leader was Peacemonger. Other villians included: Ego Virtuoso(?) Unicorn Uberman

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More Quotes From the Defenders Congregate Game. Only have a couple this week. Jack Kirby (Nighthawk) is being chased through his building by Durak. Someone OOC ask the player what his plan is: "He's a brick! I don't have a plan!" And: Warforge: "Dead people are suprisingly hard to sneak past."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Ghost Angel wrote: Grow a pair" or more politely, "stop being a wuss" What makes it more funny was the fact that it is coming from basically a robot. The GM is doing this whole "Smallville" thing with my character Tomorrow Boy. The Joke around the gaming table is that when Viki Atom shows up the story should come to a complete halt (much like it does concerning Lana Lang) Kirby Wrote: You're allowing the name of Jack Kirby to be used for Nighthawk? Kirby, The GM is alowing it. Incidently, Fantastic-Man's civillian name is Frank Millar. I wish all the players had been in on the joke during character creation. We all could of had comic creator names:eg:

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Defenders Congregate Campaign from last sat. night. Fantastic-Man (ooc): Aren't snakes cold-blooded? GM: yes Fantastic-Man: Why does Viper have a base in Greenland? GM: Viper is a world-wide organization. They have bases all over the world, including Antartica.... Fantastic-Man: Look, if their going to do the snake theme that's fine but come on, they should just go all out. Just don't do it half-ass. Nighthawk, after being told to use another chair to hit Fuermacher. "just because I'm Billionare Jack Kirby doesn't mean I want to buy all new chairs for this entire conference room!" Eurostar is blackmailing the Defenders, by holding a building full of hostages, to break out Fiacho who is being held by VIPER. Another team of supers shows up at the VIPER base and they want to get into a fight. Tomorrow Boy: We don't have time for this. We have lives to save. Fantastic-Man: and criminals to break-out! Said battle insues in a laaarge hangar. The battle starts with alot of circling by the combatants as they burn up their moves just trying to get across the hangar to engage each other. GM: This combat sure is taking a long time. Fantastic-Man(ooc): Well, we didn't make the building so damn big! And one last one: Warforge: I don't excrete.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More from the Defenders Congregate campaign. The running joke in the campaign is that Warforge, a metal mystical golem, Is "just a metal man". School Counsler: You got Warforge from the Defenders to replace the chaperones that backed out? He's the robot right? Tomorrow Boy: No I think he's just a metal man. At the Prom Riv Allen (Tomorrow Boy in his secret Id) sees the girl of his dreams, Vicki Atom, dancing with her quarterback boyfriend. Jack Kirby (Nighthawk) who is also in attendence leans over to Riv as Warforge walks up behind them. Jack: You going to do something about that? Warforge: Yea, Nut Up! Warforge talking about how the Atom Family headquarters, The Atomic Tower, is taller then our new HQ being built. "I don't have tower envy!" Warforge: Wait a minute! There is supposed to be a schedule for patrols? Why have I been on monitor duty for six months straight?

Re: [Campaign] DEFENDERS CONGREGATE!! Ah the woes of being a love struck teen super *sigh* Great game again Templar.

Re: Hero Hunt - It's Back Cool! I always liked Hero Hunt:thumbup:

Re: The Wisdom of Solomon? Actual situation was Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Wildcat started to worry about it, personaly I think it would have been wiser to pull them aside and reveil his ID, or have Superman (who is suppose to know already and is universaly trusted) tell them... On the whole JSA thing... Flash (Jay) pulled Marvel aside to have a little talk with him regarding Star. Flash could sense that Marvel wanted to tell him something, but Billy couldn't because the Wisdom of Solomon wouldn't let him for some reason. Of course that could just be bad writing

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Okay, here's some more quotes from last saturday's Defenders Congregate game. By the way, Black Harlequin was the bad guy in this adventure. "I want to abort to blast the fish." " I was concentrating you big metal oaf!" "Hey, metal man here! Fire bad, water good." "Don't write yourself into my backstory!" "I don't care what you say, Cop Rock..um rocked!" Rampant Lion (new pc): You really are fantastic! Fantastic-Man: THAT"S What SHE SAID!.....*sigh*......No not really, I haven't had a date in months." Tomorrow Boy (on meeting the new PC): Nice costume by the way. Rampant Lion (swashbuckling archer from across the pond): You like it? You know I was going for a kind of flambouyant yet practical....." Fantastic-Man (not batting an eye): "He's fifteen!" Tomorrow Boy has found two technicians ducked tape together sitting on a gaudy colored pakage. Obvisuosly an explosive device with a deadman switch. Being alone, TB had to think fast. He took off his Quantum Destabilizer off of his costume. It allowed him to be harder to hit by phasing him in and out of reality for a milisecond. He carefully attatched that to the pakage. He then activated the device and grabbed the techs with his TK. After the bomb exploded, in the nether regions of millaseconds, TB turned to the techs and said: Tomorrow Boy: "*whew* I didn't think that would actually work." One of the techs preceded to faint:D

Re: Elements, Energies, and Wierd Science I'm so stealing this for my Super-Genuis character Tomorrow Boy, it is too cool! And just as soon as I figure out how to rep I'll do that too. Edit: Okay Repped for that!

Re: Else Earth Naming Game... Well, for evil businessmen I always liked Evil Unlimited (or EU) In Brave New World RPG. They were actually an "evil" corporation with hundreds of dummy corporations as well as legit ones they owned and worked out of. They supplied super villians with weapons and/or henchmen and so forth with a promised cut of the profit. they would draw up the whole deal with contracts and such. As for an AIM type organization I once came up with: Kindred Renegade Operational Network of Outlaw Scientists (I think i picked the acronym up from and old Champs Universe timeline. It was like a throw away organization and it was never stated what it stood for so I became creative) Later I just changed their name to Helix Edit: I just remembered, over in Green Ronin's Foes of Freedom there was detailed and organization called the Foundry. they supplied the underworld with weapons and robots and such.

Re: WWYCD: Quantum Leap Um... that's why Tomorrow Boy is here in the present. To warn the Defender's of some major threat they have to stop. Now if he could just REMEMBER exactly what that was..
