Champions
As an aside to my other new post I'll fill you in on the Champions game refered to there.
Our three protagonists include:
The All-American Ass-Kicker (Triple A-K) - A dog man with heightened smell powers a vicious streak and martial attacks to match.
John Henry - A powerful man with a hammer, straight out of American folk lore.
Redstone (my character) - The classic brick character who can increase his density, but only for one minute at time. (anyone who has ever played champions can tell you that is actually quite a long while...)
In the first session we faced off against four strange supervillans. Once it was pointed out that any one of them would be a challenge for the three characters present the GM had them take off (with the loot from their robbery) and leave behind a single bad guy; who immediately summoned four demons to kick our collective behinds... So you see how the original four would have been a problem.
We (collectively) were ultimately triumphant but only one of us was in any shape to go on... luckily we caught the demon summoner some how and didn't look too bad in the papers.
In our second encounter we faced a woman who was using stolen mutagens to, well mutate animals in the local zoo. We were up against a Giant Gorilla, a Werewolf type creature, and a Giant Yeti! (did I mention that the werewolf creature was giant too?)
Luckily the zookeeper was a superhero with mind control over animals, the Gorilla was commanded to defeat the other two so we could concentrate on the woman and her intangible accomplice. I am happy to report that neither of them got away.
BAM! POW!
I shall keep you posted on our various games as the mood strikes me.

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Quite a lot has been happening in my little corner of the Universe...
I have recieved the score from the NYPD entrance exam I took several months ago, got a 92.9! I took it primarily because I can now put that on my resume, and they came here and offered it for free; who, in criminal justice, wouldn't take it?
My sister just made Captain in the Fire Department here! We're all very proud of her.
My father is still in Richmond for his bone marrow transplant. The transplant itself won't take more than a week or so, but the recovery can take up to a year! The first month is inpatient, then a month at a half-way house, then he can finally come home. His immune system won't be normal for quite a while but if all goes well he should be Cancer free for up to five years. (fingers-crossed)
In more fancifull news: we are breaking in a new Champions GM and all seems to be going swimmingly. He has fallen into the first time GM trap of overpowering his villans, but after two game sessions we are all having a ball and life is good.
