WECN is reporting that scientists at the ECU observatory are tracking  several meteors, as they enter Earth's orbit. If their predictions are correct, viewers looking toward the Northwest, later tonight, should have an unobstructed view of the shower.

Hmmmm...interesting.  I wonder if they are ferrous meteoric  objects...

Thunderbolt would like to investigate... curious about such things... could you start another thread or..could I start a thread - "Night Skies"?

Any idea on how she was killed? Would canvasing the local tatoo shops provide any answers? was she killed in the location or was her body just dumped there?

More on that later.

That sir, is for you, and your companions, to find out. 

Wish there was a separate thread for both... "Meteor Fall", and "Mysterious Murder"... so we could do some posting RP in character. 

So much I'd like to do with TB but threads move slowly.  Wish we were all in the same city co we could do like a Friday night sit-down game of this {sigh!}

Yeah I would Soooo like to have TB hunt up a place to make his HQ... and he still needs to meet Diesel!  Would really like to work with him to do some..heh.. 'upgrades' to his armor... like a diesel powered shoulder-mounted railgun !

Be nice to just get a chance to sit and talk with... Team RONIN and compare notes, talk team tactics and figure out who does what.  Some team tactic training sessions.  You'know... superhero Team stuff!

You guys do realize that nothing is stopping you from working all of this out via PM or Email, and then when you catch a break saying, "This is what we want to work on." ?

Really?!?  {Can of Worms opening...}

Ok.  I'll get right on that....

"WECN has just learned of the discovery of the body of yet another young girl. This is the third body in as many days, and ECPD is once again being rather tight lipped as to the identities of the murdered girls as well as their cause of death. Stay tuned to WECN for further updates to this story."

When can we start investigating this stuff?

I know Protectors is on a blog... but I'd much rather have a post/forum venue' easier to correct errors and make the post be more animate... with color, size changes, Italics, and bold print. 

Just Sayian...

Hahaha! Too true!

"He will conquer who knows when.. and when not to fight!"

Just REALLY fired up about playing this game again!

WECN News at Six


"Topping the news, WECN has learned that the body of a third young girl has been discovered early this morning, by members of the ECPD. While police aren't releasing any information as to her cause of death, unnamed sources within in the ECPD are confirming that the girl was apparently killed in the same fashion as the two previous victims.

While the ECPD won't comment on the matter, several community leaders, including the outspoken Rev. Jeremiah Franklin, are planning on asking a number of hard questions at tomorrow evening's city counsel meeting, as to what the ECPD is doing to catch what some are begging to say is a possible serial killer.

Stay tuned to WECN for breaking news."

Trust me, you guys will get a crack at solving these murders.

OOC: Someone with previous contact with Detective Nathan Jones should offer "meta" assistance if needed. I would but my character hasn't made a public appearance yet.

In the Blog "Jack" was in Thomasville checking out the wildlife and and "Hawk" went to Jonesville.

Mass Shooting at Government Research Facility
By Rachael Peterson
Published: March 4, 2013

Las Vegas - A decorated Federal Agent, and married father of two, killed at least 12 people on Monday in a mass shooting, at a secure government research facility, that led the authorities to lock down the surrounding area - even after the gunman was killed, officials said.

But by Monday evening, the federal authorities said they believed the shooting was the act of a lone gunman, identified as Special Agent Roger Smith, 35, of Phoenix, Arizona.

The chaos at the facility, the Center for Observation Research and Exploration, started just after 12 p.m. Civilian employees described a scene of confusion as shots erupted through the facility’s hallways.

“I heard three gunshots, pow, pow, pow, straight in a row,” said Marc Ward, a logistics management specialist from Woodbridge, Va., who was in the first floor cafeteria when the shooting started. “About three seconds later, there were four more gunshots, and all of the people in the cafeteria were panicking, trying to figure out which way we were going to run out.”

Security officers who swarmed the facility exchanged fire with Agent Smith for several minutes before finally shooting him to death, law enforcement officials said, but not before a dozen people were killed and several others, including  the facility’s director, and another federal agent. The wounded were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

If game starts back up, as planned, the fight will be continuing.

I really do not think Dom needs to share his dice rolls with us, less numbers more role-play. For instance the C.O.R.E. event happens in Las Vegas not Arizona.

Thanks, I will keep this in mind as I write Rollins Journal entries.

Cool! BTW, have you checked out TavernKeeper as a away to manage the game?

https://www.tavern-keeper.com

I'm using it for a Star Wars game and it works pretty well. Characters can  be customized and it is easy to add wiki pages and character converstaions. It's in beta right now, but they're responsive to suggestions and bug fixes.

Still here!

It's Saga Edition, which I absolutely love and was so sad when they didn't go that route for 4th Edition.

You know I never played d6, so I don't have any nostalgia for it like many people do (not that that's a bad thing mind you!)

Even though I've been a HUMOUNGOUS Star Wars fan since '77, and first discovered RPGs back in '79, I still never jumped on WEG's game "back in the day".  I think some of the art was goofy-looking and just turned me off.

I only discovered it much, much later (late 90's, early 2000's?) and now love it.

I've bought lots of the D20 books, but only to use them with D6.

My friend loves the SAGA edition and runs his kids through it; I think he's going to do a game at GuardianCon this year to show the rest of us.

He also bought Edge of the Empire and it does look beautiful.  I love D6 enough now (and have bought so much for it and have so many players invested in a campaign) that I'm not likely to jump over to it; at least not until I'm independently wealthy and have more time.

I'll get around to posting a few additional tid bits this week.

Business Briefs

GENOM and Hillcrest Announce Research Partnership

Dr. Simon Poe, Director of Hillcrest Treatment Center, has announced their partnership with the pharmaceutical giant, GENOM. According to Dr. Poe, GENOM will provide funding for a number of research projects currently underway at the facility, including research into a number of new psychotropic drugs.  Dr. Poe went on to state that he hopes this partnership will be the beginning of what could be a number of such alliances between business entities and members of the treatment field.

Thunderbolt wrote on Apr 20^th, 2014 at 4:23pm:


Now now, you're assuming the worst. I'm sure that any, and all, research being conducted at the facility is on the up and up, and will result in sort of major breakthrough in the use of psychotropic drugs for the treatment of a number psychiatric disorders. And of course GENOM will be there to make a buck off of it if it happens. If a few supervillains are created in the process, that's the nature of the business.

Secret Military Aircraft Makes Maiden Flight

Last night NASA is believed to have launched the first of DARPA and ADEPT's X-49 aircraft into low orbit. The craft's design and test flight  were a tightly held secret, known to only a few select individuals involved in the program. But sources who have asked to remain anonymous, as they're not authorized to speak on the program, have reveled that the aircraft is a state-of-the-art fight aircraft capable of operating outside of Earth's atmosphere. What purpose the military could have for such an aircraft has yet to be revealed to the public.

Business Briefs

GENOM announces 3rd Quarter Earnings up

GENOM CFO Marc Saunders announced that the companies 3rd quarter earnings were not only up, but exceeded market expectations by 16%. This is the third straight year the company's profits have risen.

Saunders then went on to state that they'd be announcing plans for possible expansion into a number of emerging markets in developing countries, as well as possible joint ventures with a number of companies in the near future.

so does this mean your starting the game back up Dom?

Avatar wrote on Mar 14^th, 2015 at 7:40pm:


Are you planning on joining back up if he is? It would be great to have you on the team.

Sorry for taking taking so long to reply, lots of stuff going on that has eaten up my so called "free time". I'll be posting a few additional tidbits over the coming weeks.

Boosters Run Wild

Law enforcement officials aren't providing much information on last night's violence. All they're saying is that the 6 hour rampage, by over two dozen Boost enhanced young people, was sparked by what authorities are describing as a so called "Booster Party" gone bad. It took heavy armed members of ECPD's Major Crimes unit several hours to contain the crowd and regain control. While the damage is still being tallied, totals are believed to be in the millions.

The Mayor's office issued a statement, stating that "Hooliganism will not be tolerated. The good citizens of Empire City, can be assured that  the perpetrators of last nights violence will be punished to the fullest extent of the law."

Dude just do it.

I took my guy paragon to powerless to projector since the campaign was active. After such time off fresh starts are inevitable.

well guys I want to come back. from reading what you have been doing here I have put together a new character and will post his background/history here. I have made him a teen who  was in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of these Boost parties. So his powers are like way new to him as in maybe a week! Since he has lived most of his life in Empire City he is looking for the heroes help. Also running from some men who seem to know more about his powers than he does. Will post them in Character section as well as bare bones stat sheet. I hope Dom will approve and fill in the blanks on sheet. I'll jump into the story and go until told otherwise

Vigilante Strikes Again

The Empire City Police Department is reporting that two men were killed last night, in what they're labeling as an act of "vigilante justice" buy the man calling himself the Jaguar. From reports taken at the scene, the two men were reportedly involved in an attempted armed robbery when the Jaguar appeared on the scene. The, robbery victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated that the Jaguar "saved his life", and without his intervention, "who knows what would have happened". ECPD is looking for any information on the possible whereabouts of the Jaguar, and asks that citizens contact their tip line.
