Not to mention what Mr. Barnes went through.

Very nice write-ups. Thanks.

Are we sure he’s not?

Well, that’s one way to win a race. Those are gonna be some UGLY babies.

That would be a Cesear salad I assume...

He’s Gumby, dammit!

You never said if you’re looking for an on-line situation or a real life spot at a table. If the latter you need to say where you’re located. We have members scattered all over the U.S. and in other countries. Either way, best of luck finding a game.

Do you have to go to a special school for that? And is there an apprentice program?

Disney’s The Black Hole wasn’t all that bad for what and when it was. It was an Escape to Witch Mountain or The Apple Dumpling Gang kind of film with solid for its era special effects. It was written for 10 year olds, with joy in their hearts. Not 25 year old college students with a stick up their butts. And let’s also lay off the British for a while. It was funny at first, and I was a part of it. But it’s starting to look like just piling on and that’s just mean. We can still bitch about the Russians though.

After major heart surgery and a small stroke I had to spend time in a rehab hospital to re-learn walking and climbing stairs. They only had one closed circuit TV channel and it played movies . On the weekend the guy who programmed the movies took off and would leave three films on a repeating loop. From my first day there on Friday afternoon until Tue morn. (Holiday weekend) I was trapped in a bed watching Snow Dogs, Legally Blonde & A Beautiful Mind. Try watching A Beautiful Mind for four days straight coming down off of heavy medication while having short term memory lapses.

I’ve been Brit-bashing as much as anybody else here, but they do have two very important things going for them... 1) They have given the world The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Monty Python and Eric Clapton. 2) They’re not the French.

Don’t look at me, I come from a place where we still celebrate the day we threw the Brits out of the city! Happy Evacuation Day everybody! It’s even this week! Probably by a chef trained somewhere else.

Also called “The Nick Fury Effect”.

I got bad news for ‘ya bunky, tomorrow’s not gonna be any better.

Maybe not the only material certainly, but my offerings were meant only to be thumbnail sketches to example the types of groups while yours were much more detailed.

Here we go again... U.N.T.I.L. ; United Nations Tribunal of/on International Law It is basically SHIELD from Marvel & the MCU. Global good guy spy group. They counter VIPER and any other world wide threats, including Alien invasions. P.R.I.M.U.S. ; (I don’t remember the acronym) It’s more or less the American Counterpart to U.N.T.I.L. But, with a strong nationalistic viewpoint. Think SHIELD if it were run by Secretary of State “Thunderbolt” Ross. M.E.T.E. ; (See above note) Good guy research and First Contact experts in Extra-Terrestrial matters. A number of lost or homeless aliens reside there. Quest Industries; Cutting/Bleeding edge technology. Inventors of Questonite, the Champions ‘verse version of Adamantium. Friendly to Heroic types since the founding family has a long tradition of adventurers. The Blood; Long-lived family line of heroic/villainous types that began with a dimensional traveler. (Have you read Zelazny’s Amber series?) Dr. McQuark’s; Mad, but friendly Scientist always willing to help out a hero in need of tech support for little or no cash. His stuff works great....if it doesn’t explode, turn everybody in 100 foot radius invisible or accidentally open a portal to another dimension. The Circle; A magical study and training group run by an ancient Asian wizard. Think of a magical version of the early X-Men. These should help you get started. (I was writing while Lord L. was posting. I defer to his vastly superior experience.)

I’m not sure how familiar or not you are with Champions game history, so in regards to Steriaca’s post, he’s some context. I’ll be using a lot of comic book explanations so I hope you’re fluent in geek-speak. VIPER; This is the equivalent of HYDRA in Marvel comics/MCU. World-wide, world-dominating, “got our grubby fingers in every pie” bad guys. DEMON; What VIPER is using tech, DEMON does with magic. If somebody is trying to use the Serpent’s Crown to control the President? Chances are it’s DEMON. DR. DESTROYER; The scariest, most competent version of Dr Doom you ever read. He’s such a bada$$ he doesn’t even need Latveria. If his organization is involved....make sure your characters wills are up to date. I hope some of this can help. Always remember GM’s rule #1 Never be afraid to reference (re: steal) from the comics.

Good, that’s one of the best ways to identify an a$$hole. Nobody with any regard for others quotes Ayn Rand.

That’s the kind of thing that good novelizations are best at. That character was Peter Preston. He was played by Ike Eisenmann and was Scotty’s nephew. That’s why Scotty was holding the kid in his arms taking him to Sickbay. The Turbolifts were malfunctioning and he had to crossover at the Bridge to get there. All this came from scenes written but not filmed and was part of the writers info packet.

Isn’t that the restaurant where the waitstaff chants “One of us, One of us, One of us.”? No, no, that’s Tod Browning’s Waffle Shack.

I don’t eat liver, I don’t eat tripe, I don’t eat haggis.....’ya just don’t mess around with the lower tract.

Bacon, onions & sage, all good. Liver? ‘Ya just shouldn’t eat the organs. Yeeesh!😱

Are there any of the larger TV/Movie/Comic franchises you like? It’s possible I’m predisposed to like these types of books because I enjoy fan-fiction.

First we’d have to figure out, which version of the Justice League? Detroit street level or ‘70’s in the Satellite Defenders of the cosmos. What lineup of GotG? The original resistance unit or the ‘’90’s one with Firelord and Hollywood/Wonder Man and didn’t they have somebody using the Phoenix Force. I’m not trying to be my usual jackass here. I’m just pointing out that it’s very easy to get these terms confused. As much as I’m generally a words and descriptions guy, I think that point levels are the only way to keep this all straight.

I’ve read “Soon I Will Be Invincible” many times. And hearing the audio version in the car is a must for long drives. Before his legal issues (I couldn’t think of a better phrase) I thought Kevin Spacy would be a mortal lock for Dr. Impossible.
