I saw the maps. I like the dinosaur in the middle of the living room--left over from the last mission, I take it.

Hmmm. I'll have to back call that. It's just serendipity that it was on the Crusaders Citadel map I'm using.

Issue 102 is up.

See, and my first thought was that you had the heroes fight dinosaurs so you could explain the dinosaur in the living room. I can't believe that didn't cross your mind ahead of time. Too much of a coincidence. I mean, the dinosaur didn't walk in there by itself.

I'm not that organized. I had the scenario worked out long before I got around to making a map for the base.
See. It's better to be lucky than good.

I've long wanted to have a "trophy room" for our heroes, but I haven't done a good enough job of keeping track of (or introducing) enough cool trophy-like items for the players to keep.

It's something I want to do, though, as the thought of having a dinosaur skeleton (or stuffed dinosaur, or whatever) is just the coolest!    Cool

Google image. DSumner's art thread here. Mutants and Masterminds site has character images. The player who plays Clone made some. V&V modules. And the admittedly rough PC images were done by me so I could let the PCs design their costumes.

Issue 104 has shipped. Our heroes fight their own headquarters!

I love those portraits of the heroes in the corner. They're the bomb. But I didn't see the image of Clone in the corner. Don't tell me he's a villain or really dead or just a figmant of someone's imagination or something? He's real right?

Thanks. Again, the players designed their own costumes.

Clone is a real PC. He's not an official member of Vanguard yet. Give it another issue or so and he'll be on the big board, I expect.

Issue 105 has shipped.

I just read the issue. I like your take on the astral dimension stats, with Charisma as Strength and Endurance, and Intelligence as Agility. Very sweet!

Awesome storyline.  Even after a few issues, I am very concerned about Clone's family, what will happen to Nanite,  can Vanguard escape in time. and WHO will hit Craine in the face.  (I wanted a ONE punch moment!!!)

Great stuff!! This is what RPG is all about.  Thanks to Doctor Foom and the Vanguard PCs for doing it right.
  

V&V character creation is too much fun.

Just loaded Vanguard's Rogues Gallery to the site (speaking of the ratio of heroes to villains in any supers universe)...

You've made it pretty clear you're a fan of the Destroyers. Ratman and a Behometh look-alike appeared in your adventures. Several of us have money on the table that the nefarious Skin-Deep is Shapeshifter renamed. For Black Bat, do you have a unique character sheet or do use the full vampire abilities from Terror by Night or do you have your own take on the species powers?

Hi Kent. Welcome to the boards.
I don't own Terror By Night. Black Bat started as a PC vampire superhero who turned evil and was believed destroyed by his former team mates. So the current sheet is an evolution of the original.
Bat is still in the game so I can't post details.  Lips Sealed Smiley

Dr. Foom, if I might, Terror By Night - regardless of how you feel about the adventure proper (pretty good, IMHO) - has a couple page section on vampires that is outstanding.  It spells out a lot of stuff in V&V terms, as well as giving some details about historical vampire lore; you might find it really helpful.

Email me at dougred4@gmail.com if you would like a scan of those two pages.

Just PM me the details about the Bat and Shapeshifter. I won't tell a soul. Scout's honor!

Done.  I think you'll like them.  Got lots of vampire goodness (but---*spoiler alert*---V&V vampires don't sparkle).    Wink

Mel, Clone's sheet is finally posted to the site: http://vanguardhq.blogspot.com/2010/03/clone-character-sheet.html

I hope Mel is still around.

Clone's character sheet really surprised me. I wasn't expecting him to lack fingernails, etc.

One thing you say:

2) Heightened Senses: Empathic Link: Clone and his duplicates share a vague empathic connection which in the past has been used for a degree of control/coordination of the group. He has also demonstrated that this connection can be used sort of like a homing device to track dupes when they are close by, Range = 27” ( Cha + Int inches ).

But I thinnk Clone's C + I = 29.

Those extra ten feet might come in handy!  Cheesy Shocked

You'd have to take that up with the Dr., as I'm not sure if he's ready to take on another player.

To be honest,  I was ready to delete you as a bot/spam poster until it dawned on me what the numbers were.
