In the Turakian Age, everybody hates the Ulronai. It's a rule. If you have a group of people everyone hates, there will surely be jokes about them. I'd like to hear suggestions for Ulronai jokes. I'll start. Q: How many Ulronai does it take to light a candle? A: Why would they light a candle when they can sneak up on you in the dark? Q: Why did the evil wizard hire a bunch of Ulronai mercenaries? A: There are some things that Orcs just won't do. Q: Why did the baron hire all the Ulronai males in his realm to tend his flock of sheep? A; Hey, if they're flocking with the sheep they're not flocking their own women and making more Ulronai! Q: Why should you never make fun of Ulronai to their faces? A: I don't know about you but I don't want to be close enough to one to look them in the face. Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: He saw an Ulronai coming. Q: Why did the jester take off in such a hurry? A: He saw the Ulronai coming too! Lucius Alexander Why are there Ulronai in the tagline? They're probably trying to steal the palindromedary.

My group has a relatively new superteam, which doesn't have an airplane/jet/etc to get around the country. I suggested the following picture for a new plane for the team. It got alot of laughs.

One of the common tropes of the superhero genre is the conceit that alternate universes exist(e.g., the 52 universes in DC, the Ultimate universe in Marvel, the Champions in 3D book for Hero System, et al). Most often this is invoked with a visit by heroes to an "alternate Earth", a place where history was altered or there's just something different about this version of our planet. I thought it would be fun to start a thread where people can discuss their own alternate Earths that they have used in a campaign, and/or brainstorm new ideas for alternate Earths that could be fun to explore. One of the things I've thought about are naming conventions. One can simply go with a numbering system; e.g., Earth-1, Earth-2, etc. Or a letter-based system, Earth-A, Earth-B, etc. Another option is using a descriptor--Marvel Earth, Apocalypse Earth, Dinosaur Earth, etc. If one uses letters and begins to run out of letters, then you could shift to the old Greek alphabet--Earth-Z, Earth-Alpha, Earth-Beta, etc. OR even change from "Earth" to "Terra" or "Gaia". The alt Earths can be serious, silly, horrifying, overpowered, underpowered, titillating, or tedious. I'll start with a couple: Earth-K: On a certain distant planet orbiting a red sun, the high council took the warnings of a certain scientist very seriously, and instead of the scientist only being able to launch an escape rocket carrying his newborn child, the entire population of the doomed planet was able to escape, thanks to a crash building program. Their destination? Earth. When they arrived there was considerable friction with the native population, but eventually most of these issues were resolved. Intermarriage between the races occurred, and while the offspring were not as powerful as their alien parent, they were nonetheless blessed with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Terra Upsilon--a world ruled by a Kleptocracy. The criminals and supervillains are essentially running the show. What heroes exist are either imprisoned or live in hiding. Most of the "real Earth's" heroes are villains in this world, and some of the villains are heroes here. I look forward to reading everyone's contribution.
