More Cool Game Write Ups

Man, sometimes I really want to have played in other people's games. This is a Star Wars scenario based on TROOPS. I thought this was a riot.

New Supers Campaign Noodling

We're still working outside the edges of my new supers game world, built in collaboration with the players. So far we have Doc Toltec (a Thesophical Atlantean turned Doc Savage style science hero operating out of Chicago's East Side Hospital), Aeaea (the latest in a line of San Francisco legacy wizard-heroes that streteched back to the 1850's), Phoenix (working class musician who survived an alien attempt to build a sundiver, she now has wings and the ability to channel heat and velocity from a distant star) and Ladegard is likely building the current ruler of Atlantis - the under the sea Atlantis rather than Doc Toltec's Atlantis.

I'm already intending
* A&E inspidred hero Captain Nostalgia, a hyper-policeman descendent of the Red Baron from a future where the Nazi's won the war who uses time travel equipment and a harnessed gravity devices to make sure his future never occurs. Since the 1930's he has been aided by the Ad Astrans, a secret society of science fiction fans and wireless radio buffs who act as his science & cultural advisiors and field agents (ala the Blue Blaze irregulars).

* a mass of giant monsters escaped from an alien circus tracked (or possibly controlled!) by an intrepid boy who has befriended one one of the monsters, a cross between Clifford and Big Red Dog and Devil Dinosaur (& Moon Boy!).

* a lost city in the Andes containing a hyper-tech Chinese Mandrinate.

* the mecha-mole driving hero Dave "Digger" Mac Fadyn teaming up with industrialist John Galt to make subterrainian maglev railroads across North America - juncture points of which will be used to explain the growth of any fictional cities the heroes might decide to have as a home base.

* Atomic-Age tech-wielding Gorillas running the Congo. Heart of Darkness is a very different novel in this world.

* Iceland being the center of operations of  Doctor Von Frost and his gelid super-science, with the highly educated and risk taking Icelanders as his loyal minions.

* The Dominican Republic being home to a criminal cartel run by the strangely ageless Porfoiro Rubirosa, who managed to avoid a pre-nup with Doris Duke and theirfore controls much of the North American power grid.

*Zombies. Gorillas. Zombie Gorillas.

no doubt there is more to come....
