Hopefully, Harbringer will be back one day soon. It is Harbringer, though...no "s"!

Just got around to reading this, gotta say, great writing Crimster.
I really like the idea of Hacker and "the Shadow", sorta the Avengers meets Neuromancer.
As a side note, have you ever read a book of short stories simply called "Superheroes"? I can't remember the publisher, but it's edited by John Varley and has some stories in it I think you'd enjoy.

Actually referring back to the game, not the hiatus...
Was that last part "enemy action" or a badly botched Unluck roll? Or was it simply Edge not properly coordinating an attack (that is, forgetting to wait for Poltergeist to actually get a turn so she could teek the gun before he rushed out)?
It just seems very odd that a plan that should have worked failed like that.

Ohhh, thank you very much. I actually took the idea for Hacker from... Hmmm... I'm actually ashamed to admit it, to be honest. But writers get their ideas from everywhere, right? I recently purchased an XBox, and in the game Halo there is a character that inspired me.
Pleeeeeease don't tell anyone. =)
As far as the Shadow goes, I have a rather cool (and NOT from any game that I know of!) story there. We'll see if it ever reaches fruition.
No, I haven't. It sounds vaguely familiar though. I'm always looking to read good books though, so I'm off to look it up on Amazon. Have *you* checked out the Wildcards books? Wow, I'm re-reading them right now. Love 'em.

LOL. That is a good question. I am going to refer you to the player for that answer.Squire James said:

I hate to be a shameless plugger, but if you have the time (and interest), check out my now-updated Sory Hour!

Well, there are a number of in game and out of game reasons why what happened happened. First of all, I was unfamiliar with the rules, so didn't realize an opponent could make a readied action (can't remember what it is called in Champions). Second, the story hour is a little misleading. I didn't just move up and do nothing. I moved up and told the punk that it was over and he should lay down the gun. He didn't. Someone died.
Now here is the part that sounds like an excuse for a stupid move. Could I have taken those actions back, being unfamiliar with the rules? Yes. Was I given that choice? Yes. Do I think what happened to Harbringer and Edge is much cooler because someone got killed? Hell, yes I do. That is why I did it. I might be a GM's nightmare, but I like to test the envelope of in game possiblities. Ask The Crimster about Artemus sometime.
It is all for a good story. I like good stories.

I wanted to say that I am a fan of this story, too. It's been a fun read...
And that book "Superheroes" is very good.. Short stories about unique superheroes, like "She Who Must Be Obeyed" and "Theme Music Man" ..
Eagerly awaiting your next issue ..

Wow. An awesome read! I look forward to seeing more!
Is there any chance we'll get a chance to peek at the Harbinger's character sheets? I'm interested in how Poltergeist defines her powers
It's kind of a shame, they don't have any 'story hour' boards at Herogames.com. Maybe I should suggest it to Steve.
