If it causes problems, let me know and I'll change my display name.

How about Jenni Lane?
Or Jenni Furr?

You made me laugh.

I checked out your site. All your players are boys. You need a woman who can kick some &#@!!!

PM a sheet on Ten please when you get a sec.
Or any other info you have.
Thanks.

BTW: I really dig Clones red costume with the collar. Thanks for posting this. Any chance he'll return to his earlier threads. The collar looks cool! It reminds me of Collective Man, the five-guy mutant at Marvel. 

Troy:
I doubt it. He's in this outfit now that he's come stateside:

Clone's player did a great job designing both costumes.

So it would seem.  

Caught up on updating the site. Just loaded:

-A list of Vanguard's friends and allies

-Issue 107, where Vanguard votes whether or not to have a leader, at Soldier's urging

-Issue 108, which has the vote results and begins a pack of solo adventures for our intrepid heroes.

Yeah. I'm hard pressed to name a team book that didn't have a leader-type.

I can think of quite a few, actually.

If the ground is in a really intense battle, especially if one or more members have fallen (and are at risk of being captured).  It takes a leader to decide when it would be appropriate (or strategically best) to have the other members flee.  Sometimes it's better to regroup and reattack.

When the group is split on what to do (three want to do one thing, and four want to do another).

When an inspiring, charismatic type is needed to persuade someone, or perform an oratory for a group, or rally the troops.

We have had times where we have had multiple leaders before.  Where there might be one overall leader for the team, but another is the combat (tactical) leader, and yet another might serve as the charismatic/speech/persuasion leader-type.

Overall I think a leader is needed because there are often split-second decisions to be made (where the fate of the world might hang in the balance), and there's just plain not the time or ability to make the decision in a committee.

Hey, that's cool if you can get away without it!  Most groups I've seen have functioned in somewhat of a paramilitary fashion, at least in regards to combat and quick decisions on the battlefield.  If you can get away without it, more power to you!   

One other note is that - especially with certain personalities - it can lead to some tremendous role-playing opportunities!

We've recently begun a Star Trek campaign, and the group is five of my V&V regulars.  It's quite interesting to suddenly have characters that can (and do) give orders to others, in a very military fashion.  Obviously you don't want to see "pulling rank" come up very often, but it does happen occasionally (and is quite fun when it does).
