    One problem I'm running into with converting older material is that WWII was 80+ years ago.  This becomes an obstacle with characters such as Flare, Sparkplug/Poinsettia, Dr Destroyer, etc. and adventures such as Wings of the Valkyrie.

     

    In our current world, is there a good substitute for Ex-patriot Nazis?  

    No. But there is a call for descendants of Ex-patriot Nazis and the people who believe in what they believe in.

    Red Doom or Wings of the Valkyrie are inevitably dated. Deathstroke, To Serve and Protect, or Wrath of the Seven Horsemen are practically timeless. Stories that attempt to be topical often go stale quickly, but ones that deal with universal themes and fundamental human nature usually have very long shelf lives.

    Is there a middle of the road adventure, topical a little bit, and timeless a little bit?

    Melissa Anders, an elderly woman, is a mage and a member of the Trismegistus Council.  She owns the house.  Her familiar, Muffin, is a seal-point Siamese cat.  Susan Hill, BSN, RN, is her live-in nurse.  Marie Nelson, a young good witch, is her housekeeper.  Her familiar, Misty, is a calico cat.

     

    Rob, aka Lady Heart, is there quasi-mystic guy turned to a magical girl person the Council wants to keep an eye on. So sometimes he has to see Melissa. Another group from the Council who has to be 'babysat' are the so called Charmed Ones.

    From my understanding, Mallonee asked and was given permission until folks weren't happy with the output. Hence why some of the licenses were pulled away (at least according to Wikipedia). Personally, I can't blame the original creators. The concept of the Champions comic started with some fun ideas, but quickly spiraled out. I'd love to see an official book for the Guardians... maybe a new project for @Susano? ;)

    Well, @tiger does have an e-book about the League of Champions (Champions Orginzations #2). Yes they all are Mallonee versions of the characters, and yes there is G-Girl (a new character), and Black Enchantress (reimagined more like an anti-villain, working for the good guys only to get all the even more evil villains out of the picture before she magicly controls the planet).

    The character being created 40 years ago is a bigger obstacle.  

    I was referring to the legal issue, like why the Marksman had to be renamed.

    Well, Stacy gave the Heroic Publishing permission to use her and Pointsetta...err, I mean Sparkplug, in there stories. Which beats having to rename characters by force (I see you Marksman and Rose and Foxbat).

  6. The "official" AU Foxbats.

     

    1) Backworld: A brave street level superhero who fought crime till PRIMUS killed him.

     

    2) Left-Handed World: Much like our FoxBat, except minus the Code VS Killing (replace that with Casual Killer or maybe Careless About The Safety Of Others Durring His Crazy Capers).

     

    3) Not exactly official, but Heroic Publishing had to change it so...The Flying Fox and his "holy Jusinkyo FoxBat" good gurl personality.

     

    Some AU ideas.

     

    Melodrama World (think Victorian Hero mixed with most everyone singing, good is good, evil has a handlebar facial hair, stuff like that): Fredicka Foswell, heiress to the Foxbat estate. She is a beautiful victorian style damsel in distress, except she tends to free herself (mostly using her broach to cut her ropes...etc.)

     

    Fantasy Hero: Sir Fredrick Foswell, Knight of the small castle named Foxbat Castle. Unlike most knights, he enjoys defeating evil, not killing evil.

     

    Western Hero: The Masked Bat, a charismic outlaw with a heart of gold, an anti-villain whose crimes benefit others without him realising it. Has also used "The Masked Fox" as an outlaw name.

  7. In case your wondering, many people mame it a goal to convince so chat bots that they are in fact chairs. It is super silly, but if you don't have anything else to do...

     

    But don't go convincing Doctor Destroyer he is a chair.

  8. Mark asked me to post more about Melody the girl ghost. A fair female white cowboy (cowgirl) when she was alive, she died when her horse bucked her off on top of a cliff. She was also rather young (17, and she lied about her age).

     

    She is rather feminine in nature and is attracted to stories about cowboy adventure and romance. While she is usually seen in her cowgirl outfit (shirt, pants, chaps, fedora hat (Because that type of hat was more popular to cowboys than a ten gallon hat cause it stays on the head in high wind), and a gun belt), when she feels romantic she changes it with her ghost powers to a beautiful but western style dress for parties and gentlemen callers.

     

    She is Marie's ghost guest. Which means she is considered responsible for her. She is normally good but she is still a teenager and can be strong headed a sturbon.

     

    And if your wondering why I stressed white, most cowboys in reality were black or Hispanic in the old west.

  9. I

    In the IHA there is a pseudo Terminator T-1000. It doesn't actually shapeshift but cover itself with holograms and comes from the same alternative universe as a certain pro mutant guy.

    The second floor is as designed.  However, the stairs continue up to the third floor, which has bedrooms laid out like hotel rooms.  Looking out the windows, one sees a flat plain dotted with monuments: the Eiffel Tower, the Gateway Arch, Mount Rushmore, the Space Needle, the Statue of Liberty, and the Washington Monument.  Ghosts of 1960s flight attendants can sometimes be seen in the hall.

    I like the idea of the mansion actually being haunted by friendly ghost. The teenage daughter of one of the owners (maybe from 1880s or so) haunts her old bedroom, which she is willing to share in exchange for hearing stories of romance and adventure.

     

    At least that is an idea...

    Might have gotten confused with the Marvel comics Champions

    He is Foxbat. Confused is normal for him, but he is a master of not looking confused.

    * But to be fair, at least I'm not as bad as one of the other GMs in my gaming group.  We've caught him pulling names for people and places from bags of chips and other snack foods.  

    At least that GM haven't resorted to the Araki method...name people after musical group names.
