Love the Civ-inspired characters! Myself, still playing Civ II. I need to upgrade!

Ok, here’s my take on Queen Eagle. I also plan to do Gold Hawk as I had a lot of fun doing this. Hope you enjoy.

Awesome! I love how you incorporated the wings into her gloves.

“Second person sloppiness” is an inside joke. Basically, I like your straight-forward approach accented with folksy mannerisms. It’s an observation, not an insult. If I ever make it to Texas, I’ll stop by, buy a round or two, and explain. But then, it’s usually after a round or two that I tend to ramble (see my previous post).

Hope I’m not hijacking your campaign. It’s been so long that I’ve written anything or ran my own game circle, my mind is springing ideas.

The ex-marine is hired to protect the woman who is really an alien spy who hides her true form by creating illusions in the minds of others. They hire a droid to pilot the ship through uncharted space, or a sort of galactic Bermuda Triangle, in order to evade the woman’s enemy or enemies.

Does her telepathy affect how the droid sees her? Do any of her powers affect the droid? Does the droid even care what she looks like? Will you report her to the marine?

When the marine discovers her true form, will he even care? A job’s a job and the check cleared. What if the check bounces? Will the marine betray her for a reward?

Is this all an elaborate ruse by the alien to get close to the droid so she can reveal the conspiracy, assassinate him, protect him, blackmail the universe, or simply satisfy her own curiosity?

Is the enemy a racial enemy? Is he after the spy because she has knowledge or perhaps a keepsake of his? Does he know about the droid? Maybe the marine killed the enemy’s son in battle and he wants revenge.

Maybe the spy or her race was responsible for bad relations between the enemy’s race and the humans. She’s back to finish the job. She needs the droid’s secret to ignite full-scale war that will weaken, perhaps destroy the enemy and the humans.

Okay, some real Cancer designs. First, a good old-fashioned kaiju rumble.

Santiago, a nod to Ernest Hemingway (June). Even though I’m not a fan of his writing. I like the boat design. The “pillow” failed. Overall, I like this character because of my personal criticism.

I like your “second person sloppiness.” With your bound and determined “this is how it is.”

Scorpius is an ultimate villain. John’s dismal of Scorpius makes John and at the same-time Scorpy existential badasses!

The connection is everyone wants to get somewhere. They agree to join because they have ulterior motives. Turns out, those motives turn into opportunities. Do they use each other to advance? Or do they stick it out for a larger prize? Then again. do they all sit at the table and share wishy-washy.

Continuing the Zodiac contest. I went with a couple of celebrity birthdays for this sign. Don Knotts (July 21, 1924) starred in a few Disney movies. One of them was The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Honestly, I don’t care for Disney. I remember watching the movie at a babysitter’s.

What if Paul Verhoeven (Director of Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers) were to re-make a 1964 Disney classic?

Good start. Flying blind with a dash of intrigue. How did the characters come to meet? Through an employer? At a bar? The marine just hitching a ride?

Obviously, there are going to be long-term rivalries with a spy and a secret to protect. I picture this culminating into an epic showdown. Like the end of The Hobbit, when the humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs all take to the battlefield to claim Smaug’s treasure.

Many opportunities for first contact. You have potential to form alliances or make enemies. Or simply lay waste to entire civilizations. During one of my campaigns, the players decided that they would take over a low tech world. Which really put a stop to the action. Should yours decide to do same, introduce a killer virus or an impending invasion to get them moving again.

Actually, eight tastes blended to make one great taste. By revealing the spoiler, you agree that you are at least 21 years of age.
