Issue #6 - "Fire" (Continued) Scene 3: "Damage Assessment" The United Heroes gathered in the Hadley Manor main library, a place Harpy had spent far too little time. Every time she came to the library, she discovered books she never knew were in her possession. She was still shaken from the...

Issue #6 - "Fire" (Continued) Scene 2: "Two Heroes in Hiding" They're gone, the Scoundrel realized as he poked his head out from his hiding place. I only hope they've lost interest, or maybe are too scared to come after me. He smiled. He looked around, and saw only black rocks and the sea...

As a new Story Hour writer, I thought I would throw in my two cents about what I've learned from the two months or so I've been involved. A lot of people might be reading your Story Hour that never post anything. I have maybe one or two that have posted to mine more than once, but every time I...

Thanks. Glad you like it. Yeah, it looks like I might be going solo on the world creation aspect for now. Who knows? I'll get the fight between the Scoundrel and those Atlantean soldiers up within the next day or two. Is it just me or has the Scoundrel only fought minions so far?

Have to agree with Petrosian for the most part. It's going to be the way you build your villains (and the combat environment, by the way) that is going to determine the balance between the heroes and the villains. Let's say you've got a hero with Incorporeal and Ghost Touch, and is only...

Issue #5 - "Heat" (Continued) Scene 2: "Escape?" Who do they think they're dealing with? the Scoundrel asked himself as he threw off the last of the ropes that bound him in place. Mere ropes? I would have expected more from a technologically advanced villain such as Trickster. Now, how to...

Issue #5 - "Heat" (Continued) Scene 1: "Battle at Hadley Manor" - Combat Round Five - Front - Electrostatic stood up straight and blinked a few times. Harpy's in trouble, he thought, but Cyber-Knight is right behind me. What should I do? He enveloped himself in electrical energy...
