I am interested. And if you are looking for characters to submit, I am also willing. Also Alabaster was asking about using my house rules. Is that still on the table?

You guys can PM me, and let you in on the specific details of what I'm looking for.

As of right now I'll be releasing a few one off villains. Each will be a full color PDF priced at 99 cents. I want to see how they sell. If they do decent, I'll lok at larger releases, say sourcebooks and mini-adventures priced from $2.00-4.99 each. Once I've got enough material together, I'll look at putting out a POD version from either Lulu or One Bookshelf.

That's great news, Dom.

You can expect my stuff soon.

Personally, my interest would be highest in sourcebooks (as opposed to villain collections or adventures), and especially if they might be available in print, via Lulu or DriveThruRPG or otherwise.

One such sourcebook that I think would be a natural fit for V&V would be a Bronze Age sourcebook. Several other super hero RPGs have published sourcebooks for the Gold and Silver ages.  And while the Silver Age sourcebook for M&M had some great Bronze Age content, I don't think that I've ever seen a pure Bronze Age sourcebook.  I'd be an immediate buyer for that.

I've also been a periodic buyer in the past of sourcebooks for other super hero RPGs by small companies that detail 'generic'/slightly different versions of 'famous' comic book institutions/worlds/titles, like, say, the Green Lantern Corps.  I'd be a likely buyer for more such sourcebooks for V&V, especially if they covered Bronze Age titles that are less prominent/obscure now than they were then.  As just one example, I'd be a definite buyer for a sourcebook wthat was sort of a modern version of the "Lone Wolves" supplement for Marvel FASERIP, covering lower powered, 'street level' heroes operating in the grimier, darker streets of NYC in the early 1980s/late 1970s.

And of course, if anyone could secure the rights to publish an "Elementals" sourcebook, especially one  based on whatever work product on that was started at FGU in the mid-1980s, well, you'd have my money in your hands before you had time to ask for it.

Well my first few character write-ups are completed, and are awaiting editing, courtesy of Doug Taylor, artwork on 1/2 dozen of them is also completed, thanks to the ever talented Joe Singleton, and I'm busy playing around with a template to use for the layout. Once I've settled on it, I'll be shipping everything off to Walt Robillard, and he'll do his thing. If everything goes as planned, you should see NMG's first V&V release late in the month.

Once it hits, I'd really like to hear some feedback from the people who buy it, as I want to produce material that you guys want to buy. The plan is for a few one off characters, followed by a villain group, and then some sort of sourcebook detailing some of the organizations  that inhabit my version of the V&V universe. The working title for the sourcebook is Hostile Intent.

And at some pint next year, I want to take a crack at producing some adventures. Namely something set in what I'm calling the Lost Lands and anther one on Anti-Earth. If there's enough interest in the two adventures, I'll look at releasing them as POD products through Lulu or One bookshelf. I'll continue to update the thread as products get closer to publication.

The first character has officially been sent off to Doug Taylor, with two more waiting in the wings. Once I get him back, he'll be off for layout. If everything works out the way I hope, you should be looking at the first Hostile Intent release the 1st week of November. 

I'm not really interested in villains per say but more in villain groups history (because they don't only fight the vigilantes but sometimes each other too). who fight who and what for? was it a techno group Vs a Magicians ones etc..
who con who ? Who steal and what to who
just to add color in the local background of the area

and also some  base : villain's /bank/ headquarters of any (non)governmental organization

Okay gents, I've gotten two more characters back from editing, and I've begun work on my first villain group, the Brotherhood of Power. The BoP will be a fairly large release. In addition to the villains, I'll be including some lot seeds, namely ways for GMs to introduce them into their campaigns, and a mini-adventure. I'll keep you updated as it I get closer to completing it.

Well there are a few reasons that's not going to happen. The characters that have appeared in the various V&V releases are all owned by the individual creators. Many of them are own by Jeff Dee and/or Jack Herman, and they're not going to allow them to be used by FGU, much less a 3rd party publisher.

Wait a minute...

What if the request was changed to a Universe book for NMG? That's something Dom could Greenlight... and it's something that we need.

After all... even if we're basing content on V&V 2nd Edition rules, we'll never see CHESS or Intercrime in anything that NMG produces, right? Homer Grimsby? May as well give him a walker and some Depends because he doesn't exist in NMG.

So, Dom... what do you think?

And Thunderbolt... what do you want to see in a universe book anyway?

RAMBLE

NMG?  I've clearly missed something in translation...

NMG - New Millennium Games / Dom is publishing.
FGU - Fantasy Games Unlimited / Scott B. is publishing.
MHG - Monkey House Games / JD & JH publishing.

I'm thinking the only way T-bolt gets his "V&V universe" is if multiple publishers publish books for their respective Universes. That way the fans can have their Multiverse that covers everything... although some things will probably still fall through the cracks.

A quick update. Hostile Intent Vol. 2 - Der Jager, may be delayed a day or two, as James Bishop is going to be doing a cover for him. But, once that's done, we should be on a weekly release schedule for the next few months.

For those of you who have, or plan to, picked these up, we'd really like to hear what you think of them. Take a minute or two and post a quick review on one bookshelf, or leave a comment on our Facebook page. We'd really appreciate it.

Just a quick note, New Millennium Games next V&V release, Bloodhawk, is in the final stages of layout, so be on the look out for it within the next few days.

Hi John,
Since I had asked that question, the scope of what to do from FGU's perspective had changed. So, I'm not going to use your stuff, not because it isn't cool for 2E, but because FGU has to basically come up with a new edition to replace Revised.

Sorry I have been away; was setting myself up for new failures and the opportunity to retool
