For those that have been here a while, you probably heard of The Great Super Villain Contest.  It was one of the first Adventure supplements for champions.  I thought it was pretty good (considering how small it was), but it got me to thinking.  Now that we have TONS of villains to choose from. Who would you include in the contest?
 
For example, I would use Herculan from Conquerors, Killers, and Crooks.  He loves to fight and love to challenge others.  He'd probably care less about the prize (sorry no spoilers).  He'd be in it JUST to challenge the heroes.  
 
So, use any book.  (just be sure and say which book they are in) and let me know who'd you put in the contest if it were run today.

Well, for those who don't have Battlegrounds, it includes the following villains (mostly from CKC):
Herculan Lodestone Mirage Utility Ogre Black Diamond Blue Jay Cheshire Cat Foxbat Hummingbird Black Harlequin Holocaust Minuteman robot Stormfront Zephyr Interface As to someone not on that list, I've always been partial to Ankylosaur, Howler, and Lady Blue as villains (not necessarily together).  But really, who is involved should depend on the plot you choose.

A while back(about 2 or 3 years ago) I used to be in several games and a GM in two of them.  Those games took up most of my time and thoughts.  
 
And because of that I had a major case of burnout.  So, much in fact, that I put every thing away.  I closed all my games and did other things.  I didn't want anything to do with role playing at all.  
 
Then, back in May, I tried my best to get back into a game.  But something just wasn't right.  Plus real life reared its ugly head.  
 
Now, that real life is back on track, I'm considering playing again.  But I worry about burnout again.  My life is a little busier than before, and I can't post every day like I used to.  
 
Have you ever had a case of burnout, and if so, how did you deal with it?
 
 
 

Dawn
During one particularly rainy week a couple of teenagers wanted tans and sun all day long.  As the forecast predicted another week of rain and gloom; they decided to have some fun with magic.  Unbeknownst to them, one of the members, a girl named Dawn, had true magic in her, but didn't really have a clue of what she was doing.  So, she channeled the sun into her, which was almost impossible on such rainy weather.  But the sun didn't have to show itself.
 
So, Dawn was able to fill herself with sunlight and was able to cast away the clouds and get a great tan.  But there was a cost for her commitment to the sun.  Dawn literally ceases to exist after the final rays of dusk go away.  She just blinks out of existence and  blinks back in again when the first rays of the sun hit the area she was last seen.  Dawn is scared now, and is still learning about her powers. She has considered continuously following the sun around the world, but she has a life!  I mean what if Brad asks her to the prom? 
 
Dawn is all teenager, and scared to death what happens to her body between dusk and dawn.  She made a silly costume, and follows the other daytimers, but she's really just wants to understand her powers and not to blink out of existence at dusk.  Once she figures out how to do that, she may just drop the group.  (I mean, she is a teenager after all)
