Bah! Thair eez no need for thinking mon ami, it can be non othair than BATROC’S BRIGADE! ;)

Yes, very much so. Thanks for clarifying. This is going to be fun!

As far as an "on deck" character goes, I would like to go with Cobra. Though my first choice, if possible, would be the original Viper. He was an ad man gone bad and had this crazy penchant for quoting commercials as he fought. He was the brother of the original Eel and was killed by Madam Hydra...

Brothershaterstone brings up something I have been wondering about in regards to the gaining of villain points. I like the idea of playing to genre conventions, but properly roleplaying a character would come first to me. Batroc is also not one to use deathtraps; he takes great pride in...

Here's my first pass at Batroc. Comments and suggestions are welcome BATROC THE LEAPER, PL: 9, , Name: Georges Batroc, Male, Size: Medium; INIT: +8, DEF 23/18; SPEED 30; MELEE +11, RANGED +11, MENTAL +7, SV: DMG +6, FORT +2, REF +15, WILL 0; STR 14, DEX 18, CON 14, INT 10, WIS 10, CHA 14...

Actually my favorite villains are the third stringers. I just have a warm spot in my heart for these losers. That’s why I jumped on this game as soon as I found out about it. I’m really looking forward to this. Back when I used to run a Marvel Saga game I wrote up just about everyone one of...

Play by post is great and should no problem making the posting requirements. I think I’ll go with Batroc. As how I’ll play him I plan to draw mostly from how Mark Gruenwald portrayed him on his classic Cap run. Batroc is a showboat, he craves notoriety and is out to prove what big bad villain he...

Man I love the third tier villains! Would this be chat style or play by post? I prefer the latter as it easier with my schedule but depending on when we play I might be able to do the former My thoughts as whom to play would be either: Batroc the Leaper (A zany French accent and his own strange...

I have very fond memories of this module. It was one of the first long term campaigns I ran. I placed the Judges guild module “Caverns of Thracia” on the “Isle of Dread.” It worked out very nicely. With new map, which is neat though I was hoping for something more old school with hexes, and the...

I voted for the classic first edition style adventure. To me they are the easiest to fit into an ongoing campaign. The campaign style books are ok, some are quite good actually, but they often contain a lot more than I’ll actually use and I end up mining them for ideas rather than running them...

Well it depends, if the artwork is done in color but just printed in B&W then I go color. However if you’re talking about a pen and ink black and white drawing vs. a color drawing then I would say B&W. Perhaps it’s the grognard in me but there is something appealing about B&W pen and ink...

Some good advice so far, Chris Pound has a good name generator, I learned about it in “Robin’s Laws of Good Game Mastering”. From personal names to words that can be place names, some are real world others from fantasy. http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~pound/

I’ve only just started using it. I’ve been running my wife through a solo campaign with psion (telepath), before deciding whether to allow psionics into my regular campaign. We’ve only played three times but so far it’s been working out very well. She likes the flexibility and being a telepath...

Add to me the list of folks who’d love more “conversions/expansions” of classic adventures. Dungeon 112 was a top-notch issue, my favorite by far in quite some time, so a very hearty interest from me at least to see more of the same in the future.

-Latrine -Garden -Guard post -Throne Room -Temple (like chapel only bigger) -Barracks -Pool/Well -Pantry/Storage -Wine Cellar -Meditation Room

My group makes great use of potions and scrolls. They all carry multiple potions and if they have time to prepare, each downs several of them before a big fight, I can’t tell you how many battles they’ve won do to there efficient use of potions. Like anything it’s a something that you’ve got to...

Thanks for that link it’s been added to my favorites. I can second Age of Heroes as good supplement. Also didn’t Mongoose recently release OGL Ancients? I have never looked through it myself but it could possible be useful.

This should no way be taken as official but according to my FLGS they are expecting it the week of April 12th.
