Yes, go with the black. Thanks for coloring it for me. I appreciate it.

Cougar, here's Machinist.

Tried again without the flash; I think these look better.

Here's the three again:







Ranger, if it's not too much trouble, these can at least be used for now (as their avatars), which we tinker with the final looks (provided everyone is cool with them).

Man  Those rock. I think being colored makes a world of difference to Machinist especially. Just wow.

Yeah, the pictures don't make his darker skin tone as obvious; that's easy to darken up a bit.

So do you want the entire eyes yellow/amber? (the "whites of his eyes"?)  Or just the pupils?

And do you prefer the maroon to be more purple?  or more red?

Way cool, great job!

Thanks, all.  I appreciate the kind words.  I think they'll look even better once they're sized like the others (most imperfections will be difficult to see).

Any ETA on when we can get going again?  I know dom's really busy... just curious is all.

OK gents, here's the deal. The simple fact is that right now I'm swamped. We're extremely sort handed at work. I'm pulling a minimum of 8-12 hrs. of OT every week. I'm also in the process of completely re-writing our policy and procedure manual, and work up a training program for our Emergency Response Team. I'm also still working a part time gig, as I'd committed to them at least until April. And I'm still in the National Guard for a few more months, before retiring with 20 years of service. I've also got some other paying gaming commitments I need to get caught up on, so as not to put the publishers behind in their production schedule, any more than I already have. And I do occasionally like to spend time with my family, and sleep. 

So, I'm asking you guys what it is you want to do. Do you want to just put the game on hold, roll on to another game, or just pack it in?

If you need to put it on hold and pick up later that is cool. I can wait. If that isn't possible, just let us know. I hope things are good with you.

Dom we are your friends pal and support anything you feel that is best for you. Real life is what it is and anyone who has met you knows your heart is always in the right place. You've created a great little universe with vast areas I'm sure you're itching to play test.

Whether you're feeling it with the current group of heroes or have a desire to go another direction when real life time allows you know you have people here who are excited to explore that universe with you no matter which direction you decide to go.

For myself. I'll assume we'll be on a bit of a hiatus until you get your obligations caught up ... and by the way much props and congratulations on your upcoming Guard Retirement.

Parati semper, semper ibi

Take your time. Diesel will be ready if/when you want to start it up again.

Nice post Hawk!

Alright, its settled... I'll start a "Thunderbolt - Year 1", log as well.  It will be set in the days just after his gaining his metahuman powers showing how he gained his mastery of them and how he developed into the Vigilante he is.

I hope you will all enjoy it or at least get a good laugh out of it.

Woot Baby.

Tech-speak, high flying action, violence and a complicated romance. They'll be making a television series out of it next week. 

Thumbs up J-man

I'm just glad you guys are making use of this stuff. And while I'm thinking about it, if yiou've got questions, fire away, I've got stuff in my notes that I haven't posted, but I can shoot it to use to use in your personal fiction.

Thank you much sir. I'll be adding additional info as the mood hits me, and time allows.

You're welcome sir. I plan on adding a bit more before the day is out. I'm also trying to answer a couple of questions that got thrown my way, so that people can use the info in their fiction. Once I finish that, I want to roll in some stuff that you guys used for your origin stories, so you'll have a bit more to play around with.

hey Dom, do you have a agency in gov. for the supers like the bureau of indian affairs
