  1. Good points, BlackSword. Batman would've known, possibly from a news release, that PRIMUS was building an office in Gotham City before they contacted him. He would also have known that, besides Gotham City, PRIMUS Gotham's area would include the areas of Delaware and New Jersey that other PRIMUS offices don't cover. Also, Mariko strongly believes in working with local heroes, not fighting them. When she meets anyone she's not fighting, Mariko's always, possibly as a result of her upbringing, polite. One last question I forgot to add: How does Batman react to the news about vampires, Gotham's hellmouth, and the team that deals with such things?
  2. How does this sound to all of you? We're post season seven on Buffy. The Slayers in the United States, with the knowledge of the Trismegistus Council, are working with the federal government. Those not working with Initiative teams are working under PRIMUS's authority. Some stay at hotspots, like Hellmouths, including Gotham's, in Sommerset Township. Others patrol a certain area of the country. Police, medical examiners, crime labs and superheroes, including Batman, the authorities trust are aware of them and how to deal with them. Gotham City has a PRIMUS base. It's Silver Avenger, Mariko Namura, has met Batman and thinks highly of him. The two meet, she explains that PRIMUS is creating superhero teams in various cities, and asks him to run Gotham's team. How does he react to PRIMUS creating a team in Gotham? Is he willing to lead it?
  3. As I understand it, Cordy will be back for the tenth episode, then leave for good. She was a fun character. I'll miss her.
  4. Once you're at Star Hero, scroll down to Star Wars Hero and click it. The R2 droid is in the character creation section.
  5. I don't have a link to post, but I'll tell you how to get there. 1) Using your favorite search engine, go to The Stuff Heroes Are Made Of. 2) Click on Web Directory. 3) Click on Star Hero. 4) Scroll down the list and you'll find the Star Wars conversion.
  6. I've seen a Star Wars to Hero System that has, among other things, R2 astromech droids in it somewhere on the net. I'll post the link once I find it again.
  7. I had the book, but I don't anymore. I like to use a mage's house as a headquarters, and always add gates to alternate realities. Some lead to whole universes and some to pocket universes. One pocket universe is an unoccupied chapel and the rooms behind it.
  8. Oops. The third paragraph in the above posting should read: In another fanfiction crossover story, with West Wing, Giles realizing that any woman with the postential to become a Slayer would, stated that there are between 3,000 and 5,000 Slayers worldwide. As far as the earthquake goes, yes, there was one. However, outside of the school, only glass shattered. Inside the school, everything breakable broke, the doors fell out of their frames and a lot of stuff was knocked over. If you want a sappy ending, Spike regains his humanity and marries Buffy, Anya becomes human again and marries Xander, who never lost an eye.
  9. Why do I always forget things? When I was describing my idea, I forgot to add that each hotspot, including the Hellmouths, would have their own Slayer and her team. My interest in using Sunnydale as a campaign setting comes from the story Rainbow Over Sunnydale, which is a crossover between the Buffyverse and the Jack Ryan universe. It can be found at fanfiction.net. In another fanfiction crossover story, Giles, realizing that since woman with the potential to become a Slayer became one, there are now between 3,000 and 5,000 Slayers worldwide. It would also be possible, in a superhero world, for a mage to cast a spell that would permit the Chinese Slayer to read, write, or speak fluently in any language.

  11. Good point, Black Rose. Thank you. On a side note, when I said Millennium City vamp-hunting team, I should've said campaign city vamp-hunting team. That is, of course, if I don't figure out a way to keep the Sunndydale earthquake from happening when the Hellmouth closes.
  12. Good question Chuckg. I'm sure they did. With maybe 4,000 slayers in the world, there are probably two or three in each state. The Secret Service, FBI, PRIMUS and the DOSPA may have a few on their payroll. The revamped Initiative probably has a Slayer with each team, too. On the international scene, UNTIL probably knows about them, as do foreign governments. Some probably even have either Slayers or military vamp-hunting teams on their payroll.
  13. How's this? PRIMUS and the DOSPA, and, probably other federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, know about vampires and Hellmouths, but, unless asked for help, only share intel with the Slayers and the Trismegistus Council. Superheroes generally also share intel and get involved only when asked. The Millennium City Vamp-hunting team consists of a Slayer, her mother, who taught her martial arts, her Watcher, a researcher, who, like Giles, doesn't like computers, a computer expert and a sorceress.
  14. Nightfly, I forgot to add that I'm asking about the Buffyverse after season seven ended.
  15. Hi all, It's been established, in the Buffyverse that there is more than one Hellmouth and a large number of Slayers. Buffy and Giles are guarding Cleveland's Hellmouth. While the Council of Watchers existed, the Trismegistus Council acted as allies. Now, the Trismegistus Council is the Council of Watchers. Would they assign one or more Slayer(s) to each Hellmouth and assign each to a specific region of the world? Assuming that the Millennium City area has a Hellmouth, how many Slayers would be there? How many other associates would she/they have? What would their abilities be? How much aid could they expect from the other superheroes? From other federal agencies? Yours, Mark Rand
  16. In my last post, I said that Gotham City is the Southern Part of Ocean County, New Jersey. I should've said Gotham County is the southern part of Ocean County, New Jersey. Now, for some crossovers. Archelogists have didscovered that the following legendary heroes and places existed: Xena, Gabrielle, King Arthur, Camelot, Santa Helene, California, and the Queen of Swords. In a related note, according to a Discovery Channel special entitled King Arthur, he lived in the fifth century and Camelot was a wooden fortress atop Cadbury Hill .
  17. Sorry, I ment 14,000,000, not $14,000,000.
  18. The idea that the Slayer is a Jedi Knight comes from Distant Destiny, a story by Doc, at fanfiction.net. Aside from the Slayer herself, what would the Gotham City vamp-hunting team consist of? Given that the city's population is over $14,000,000 and there is an active Hellmouth there, should Gotham have more than one Slayer?
  19. Good point from JmOz. Thank you. I've found sheets for Batman and Nightwing on the net. Anyone know where I can find sheets for Robin (Tim Drake), Oracle, Spoiler, and three Batgirls (Barbara Gordon, Barbara Wilson & Cassandra Cain)? Here's a bit more universe information. Gotham City is the Southern Part of Ocean County, New Jersey. There is no Bludhaven. However, Atlantic City is located, in my campaign universe, where Bludhaven is in DC's main universe. Also, there was no earthquake, no plague, and the "No Man's Land" mess never happened. While the DEO doesn't exist, PRIMUS and the DOSPA do. The names that DC gave to many places in Gotham City were removed and the original names, where possible, were restored. Where I didn't know them, I just made my own names up.
  20. If you want to, but there will be other universes joining the ones here. Keep in mind that were not in either the DC Universe or the Champions Universe. Until the existance of the Stargate was revealed, the public didn't know that there was life in outer space.
  21. Batman, Batgirl & Robin know about vampires, the Slayer, her associates and the Hellmouth. They share intelligence and, when necessary, help each other. The public is aware that Stargate Command exists and is 30-miles northwest of Gotham City. It was secret until the NID (National Intelligence Department) told the world. Now, the NID has been disbanded and the people that released the secret are in jail.
  22. The time: about six months after the motion picture Batman & Robin. The place: the Batcave, beneath Wayne Manor. The people: Bruce Wayne (Batman), Richard Grayson (Robin), Barbara Wilson (Batgirl), and Alfred Pennyworth (Bruce's butler). "We're agreed then," Bruce said. "We'll form a secondary team to protect Gotham City if something happens to any of us. Although they'll come here each day at 9 am for a training session, they'll be based in the backup Batcave that Dr. Arcane found for us." "I thought you didn't like magic, Bruce," Dick said. "I'm not comfortable with it," Bruce admitted. "However, I trust Dr. Arcane's judgement in such matters. I also trust the Slayer and her associates. However, they won't be part of this team. Don't forget, while we fight regular foes, they deal with supernatural threats to the world." "What will the new heroes get out of this?" Barbara asked. "They'll receive jobs at Wayne Enterprises that give them decent pay for very little work. I'll also make arrangements for their housing in a middle-class neighborhood." "What sort of support staff were you thinking of for them, Master Bruce?" Alfred asked. "An engineer, a nurse, a forensics expert and a chemist," Bruce replied. "I understand either PRIMUS or the NSC is trying to get a liaison into our group. I'll make sure the liaison joins the new team." Comment is invited.
  23. On Stargate SG-1, it's been stated that the gate breaks down matter into subatomic particles, sends it, as a charged matter stream, through another dimension, to another stargate, where the matter is reassembled. Since the Hellmouth is also a dimentional gate, how close can they be without effecting each other? I'd like to have them 35-miles apart. Are they too close?
