Re: I love The Ultimates

Man I just read the first two Trade Paperbacks of this series and it absolutely rocks the house. I really love it, I know many people don't like Millar, but I guess he just strikes a chord with me, I love it. I can't get into that Silver Age stuff, anyone run any games in this kind of more gritty style? BTW Nick Fury and Captain America are the best... and of Course I think Thor is off the scale... anyone done writeups based on the Ultimate versions?

Re: Timelines I use Timelines for my current game, Legacy Universe... it helps to keep things straight but with only ten years of divrgent history it in't too hard

Re: Campaign Premise - Elite: Year One Sounds good, at first I want to keep it intimate and small so them staying underground is fine... but I would raw them out at some point, sooner then later thanks for the suggestion though

Re: Campaign Premise - Elite: Year One

Re: I need a Super Hero Name for TinkerBelle.... Faerie Fire?

Elite: Year One This is a campaign, story about the beginning of a new age. An age where man can do things that should not be. Men that can fly, women that can read minds and a world that will be forever changed. But it is a time of turmoil and strife, as the world learns to adapt to a changing environment and an uncertain future where perhaps the meek will not inherit the Earth. This will be an exploration of what defines a hero. The morality will b grey and the characters will have the chance to lay the foundation for the world to come. They are special, but also feared, and the world is a scary place for “elite†and baseline alike. This will be a story of how disparate lives all become twisted as they learn that they are not quite human, or at least not baseline. They are now gods among men, or perhaps monsters. Timeline of Events • June 5th to June 18th of 2004: Ghenther’s Comet passes into Earth orbit, and the Earth passes through its tail towards the tail end of its journey through our solar system. It is a magnificent sight of purple, blue and white in the night sky, and is even visible during the day, like a second brilliant sun. • June 19th, 2004: Michael McCoy becomes the first documented Elite, in human history after surviving a semi-truck crash. The truck lost control and swerved onto the sidewalk and just as it was about to crush Michael he was able to create a field of protective energy around himself and was spared from the damage. • June 24th, 2004: Michael McCoy goes public with his story and demonstrates his powers for the local Oklahoma City news, catapulting him into the public eye overnight; the news dubs him Miracle Kid, and he is a media darling; despite rampant skepticism to his story • July 2nd, 2004: Several other individuals are identified worldwide as having abilities that go well beyond the norm. The stories are too numerous, too visceral, and too televised to be thought of as fakes. World hysteria begins to rise as questions about the why, and the how become commonplace on the news. • July 4th, 2004: The first act of violence between the “new†humans and baselines occurs in Italy. An unidentified male lashes out against a mob of hysterical baselines and fries several of the crowd with what appeared to be a pyrokinetic burst of energy. Sixteen people were killed, and several dozens more were wounded. The suspect was never caught but the incident received international attention. • July 7th, 2004: Several national governments worldwide issue laws that enforce a strict zero tolerance of violence using these strange and unusual abilities and anti-“new†human sentiment rises as people begin to fear these incredible yet strange people. • July 15th, 2004: The opening stage for Elite: Year One begins on this day with disparate characters linked by their new condition. This campaign is actually the second campaign I plan to run in this game world that I designed. The first was a teen styled game set in the year 2014, the “modern†day of the setting. It is pretty much Iron Age inspired by the Aberrant setting, a smattering of the Ultimate universe, purely by chance. Did not read Ultimate X-Men till well today. Anyway the actual premise for this game will be that the heroes will be among the first wave of super beings, which will eventually be called “elitesâ€. There are no super humans, no laws to really control them, yet, and very few if any conventional way to control their abilities. It has been maybe three to four weeks since the first one appeared. Just wondering what kind of stories would you run given the concept and meager background. The world is pretty much our world, as it is, with current political climate and technology now being subjected to something completely amazing and scary at the same time. Just looking to see if others have done this or if there are story ideas I could mine for it. In the future of the setting; the United Nations controls much of the world politics and some of the most powerful elites in the world. A powerful elite terrorist group called Pantheon demands to free elite from baseline oppression and exploitation… but all of that does not exist yet. Just a brave new world trying to adapt to something that has the possibility to put the world on its ear…

Re: Building a Robin/Nightwing inspired Hero NEED HELP! Well Nightchild was very athletic... but he has only been doing this for about two years... he is only about 16 now

Re: What do you like about the various ages of comics? I like Iron Age because it is the style I am most familiar with particularly Teen Heroes... I love the angst, the drama and the fun... I don't collect many comics, so those I get are usually recent ones, since I like the artwork in the more recent stuff then the older stuff...

Re: Clerks... Uh... I mean HEROES! That is good stuff

Re: Building a Robin/Nightwing inspired Hero NEED HELP! well that is what I am going for a stick-fighting acrobat teen hero... Lot of good ideas... so many ways to build it boggles the mind

Re: Building a Robin/Nightwing inspired Hero NEED HELP! Thanks Acroyear this was my first Hero build and I had alot of questions.. but I got alot of help... and much good feedback, I will be doing another build soon... probably just modify stuff, tone down the leaping LOL... I don't want him to jump that far... just far enough to get between buildings... I like the swingline idea... but I would rather see him bouncing between buildings... but he may need that in case he falls... bleh... I guess he beter not fall.. and I may add those breaking and entering skills... As far as the boost to PRE I like that angle... once I get the rebuild done, I will post a full background next up will be Dr. Midnight after him a Darkness manipulating mutant who is also a detective and Nightchild's Mentor... and also a Legacy hero The Current Dr. Midnight used to be the Nightchild to the previous Dr. Midnight, who was a skilled normal, and also the current Dr. Midnight's father
