Re: Trolling for suggestions, 1982-style. Villians: Wasn't Mecha-Godzilla from around this time? Can we forget the Bionic Bigfoot? What if Capt. Stubing got an evil bug up his you know what and turned The Love Boat into a floating evil base filled with brain-washed passengers. The PC's would have to figure out what was going on, and take out the badies without hurting the passengers (Isaac the bartender tossing Molotov cocktails at the PC's during the climatic battle). At the least the Pacific Princess might make a good location to visit, be rescued by, or even used for transportation somewhere. Does Cobra from G.I. Joe count? It started in 1983…

Re: Enterprise vs. Enterprise Either way, whoever won (I would guess the Enterprise-D as well) would use their wish to restore things to the way they were before the fight i.e. restoring the timeline, undoing the deaths they had caused, etc.

I have that one as well, in addition to: Personal Bread Trail Bump of Direction, Only to places I've been before (Really useful in shopping malls) Positive Computer Aura 5 5-point Skill Levels, Computer Related Skills, Usable Against Others, Only to make make computers work right (-1/4) (Computers myseriously seem to work beter around me) Counter-Act Negative Computer Aura 5 5-point Penalty Skill Levels, Related Anti-Computer Related Skills (Computers work better around me, even if the person having the problem has a Negative Computer Aura) Activation Roll 14- (usually, but not always) Furthermore, I've discovered that the lovely lady I'm married to has: LS: Immune to Jet-Lag and LS: Immune to Negative Effects of Time-Zone Changes (She one flew from Alabama to South Korea and felt absolutely no effects from either the trip or the 15 hour time difference)

Re: www.VillainSupply.com, Your Online Source For Everything EVILâ„¢ True, but the main page says they are under new, hopefully more diligent and evil management as of April 2004. Perhaps new villainy will be available for retail soon!

Re: www.VillainSupply.com, Your Online Source For Everything EVILâ„¢ I would guess that ARGENT might use this as a distrobution channel, especially for "clearance" items.

Re: www.VillainSupply.com, Your Online Source For Everything EVILâ„¢ And the banner ads are hilarious!!!

Has anyone else seen this?!?! http://www.villainsupply.com/ I smell campaign sub-plot! The heroes keep finding cards or bits of paper with that web address on it. If the decide to check it out, let them go there for real. That would be worth it for humor value alone, but letting them launch a campaign of attacks to shut down the company could be a campaign in itself! I have no idea who made the site, but it is pure (evil) genius!

Re: I love The Ultimates I am actually in the midst of running a campaign set in the Marvel “Ultimate†continuity. It provides a setting in which the players recognize the other heroes and villains, but without running into any situations such as “Hero X can’t do that! In issue #504 he specifically said he couldn’t do thatâ€. The events in the Ultimate titles are providing mostly background flavor and “stuff happening elsewhereâ€, but some of it will bleed into the campaign itself. For example, in the Ultimate X-Men series, the U.S. sent virtually an entire army of Sentinel robots to attack the mutant haven in the Savage Land, which pretty much destroyed everything the mutants had built there. Soon, the PCs are going to soon encounter a group of mutant terrorist bent on revenge for this attack. As an added bonus, there are a lot of write-up folks have done for the major heroes and villains in the regular Marvel Universe that are perfect for use in the Ultimates continuity, which should save me a fair amount of work. Also, I just got the Viper: Coils of the Serpent Champions suppliant (an awesome book picked up from the glorious “Half-off Damaged Books†sale in the on-line store). As I’m reading, I’m replacing the name “Viper†with “Hydraâ€, as I’m considering adding Hydra as an organization in the campaign. However, the Viper book is so great, they may retain the Viper name – so far what I’m reading is making me think Viper is just way cooler than Hydra. Thus far, I have been limiting myself to the trade paperbacks in the line, so the events in the campaign are somewhat lagging behind what’s in the newsstand. However, this is a very minor mater, especially considering that none of my players are reading any of these comics.
