Re: What is your favourite Superhero adventure/storyline? Marvel: Most of the early Alpha Flight... I loved the fact that they were a team of individuals that needed each other, not a team of individuals that don't need each other... Strikeforce Mortui (sp?)... The idea of "heroes for a year/save the Earth" just struck me as the ultimate form of heroism... People who, for whatever reason, decided to sign up for a terminal project that would help them save the rest of humanity. DC: Identity Crisis... It was sad to have many DC heroes suddenly humanized, but the humanity (in the, HA HA no spoiler here!) of the characters actually made me enjoy it. Watchmen: It's dark but it did present meta/super humanity in a realistic aspect in my opinion... Independents: Rising Stars... Yet another example of "human" super humanity... I like the idea of metahumans (what I call them in my games) being people first, heroes/villains second... In fact the players have met many a meta who does not put on tights and fight crimes... Most of my players also have in-depth histories (two who play husband and wife in game are also married in real life, and it's funny the "married banter" that goes on between them...) and I encourage role-playing over roll-playing... (Sorry for the bit of a tanget...)

Re: Approved by the Comics Code Authority Okay… It took a bit of time, but here I go… Format is: Name (Faction/Violates #): Description of violations… Phantom Photon (Heroine/10): As a magic wielding blaster PP has on many occasions fought against many of the prohibited enemies. So she would have to face more mundane enemies, or other magic wielders, no more werepuppies L Polarity Shift (Heroine/12 and 13): PS is a living gravity field that has come to Earth. She has next to no concept of “socially acceptable” and barely understands humanity. When she was first encountered by the players she was nekkid (12) and she spent much of the encounter being taught what clothing was. I don’t think she would last as a prude, it’s part of her “charm” and all the Presence attacks against thugs/minions is part of her combat tactics. Res-Cue (Heroine/broke 12 in her first appearance): Kind of a moot point seeing as Res-Cue was never built… Otherwise she would fit into a silver age game/comic flawlessly as a healing heroine… Purge (Villain/all except: 6): Purge is a villain who’s getting a second chance (call it time wedgie’s revenge…) A silver age comic writer who wrote a story about Purge would probably be fired… Now for the gruesome details… After players read the short comic about Purge (post his accidental death at the hands of one of the heroes) they actually felt sorry for his psychotic self (CCA #1). Purge was a famous rock star who used his national tour to hunt down other metahumans (CCA #3). He killed three heroes then was killed by a hero (CCA #4). His draining of metahuman lifeforce is definitely a violation of CCA #5, 7, 10, 11, and 12-18 (one of the heroes was a heroine that he seduced, you can guess the rest.) Danger Man (Hero/none): Danger Man is a pure silver age hero, even if he’s officially the DNPC of Galaxy Shield… Galaxy Shield (Heroine/13): She’s struck a few poses that could be called “suggestive” but other than that, she’s another silver age heroine… Crimes shall never be presented in such a way as to create sympathy for the criminal, to promote distrust of the forces of law and justice, or to inspire others with a desire to imitate criminals. If crime is depicted it shall be as a sordid and unpleasant activity. Criminals shall not be presented so as to be rendered glamorous or to occupy a position which creates a desire for emulation. In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds. Scenes of excessive violence shall be prohibited. Scenes of brutal torture, excessive and unnecessary knife and gunplay, physical agony, gory and gruesome crime shall be eliminated. No comic magazine shall use the word horror or terror in its title. All scenes of horror, excessive bloodshed, gory or gruesome crimes, depravity, lust, sadism, masochism shall not be permitted. All lurid, unsavory, gruesome illustrations shall be eliminated. Inclusion of stories dealing with evil shall be used or shall be published only where the intent is to illustrate a moral issue and in no case shall evil be presented alluringly, nor so as to injure the sensibilities of the reader. Scenes dealing with, or instruments associated with walking dead, torture, vampires and vampirism, ghouls, cannibalism, and werewolfism are prohibited. Profanity, obscenity, smut, vulgarity, or words or symbols which have acquired undesirable meanings are forbidden. Nudity in any form is prohibited, as is indecent or undue exposure. Suggestive and salacious illustration or suggestive posture is unacceptable. Females shall be drawn realistically without exaggeration of any physical qualities. Illicit sex relations are neither to be hinted at nor portrayed. Violent love scenes as well as sexual abnormalities are unacceptable. Seduction and rape shall never be shown or suggested. Sex perversion or any inference to same is strictly forbidden. Nudity with meretricious purpose and salacious postures shall not be permitted in the advertising of any product; clothed figures shall never be presented in such a way as to be offensive or contrary to good taste or morals. On a side note... I've noticed that when I was in the military most of my players played "silver age" characters (maybe one in 30 characters was a Wolverine or Punisher)... It seems like my players now (that I've left the service) are more prone to play "Kill the villain" type characters, with the exception of people I used to play with prior to joining... Maybe it's repressed anger or (and I don't mean to anger/offend anyone, if I do I appologize now "Sorry") lack of experience with violence and it's real effects, but it's just odd that seems to happen that way (military personnel= thinkers, civvies = killers)... Or it could just be the age difference...

Re: Keeping track of END, STUN and BOD. You could get colored chips/beads of different sizes...

For villains I just run an Excel WS on my laptop (whatever did I do before computers? Oh, yeah, dry erase boards...)

Re: Some questions about Stronghold It's all up to the GM. If you're the GM you can say that the Stronghold has a "Technology Dampening Field" that stops non-Stronghold technology from working. If you're not the GM then all you can do is try to get in. Just make sure to have a good exit strategy. In my game, most of the big villains us the "He's incompetent, that's why he got captured" mentality when it comes to minions getting caught. They won't go out of their way to free them, but they will give them a welcome back party if they escape. Low level villains who have team-mates get captured either: Try to free them (if they're not smart enough to realize that their powers will be shut down if my Stronghold goes to "Full Containment" status). or Get some help and try to spring them with a full assault on the Stronghold. (Trying the old "Get them back into court, and spring them en-route" routine doesn't work in my games. Most super villains are tried via teleconfrence from the safety of their cell.) I'd say it's all up to the GM for anything not covered in the source material.
