                       (UNDER RECONSTRUCTION)

Welcome to rec.games.frp.super-heroes (r.g.f.s-h):

        Hi there!  Interested in Super Hero Role Playing Games?  Then  
this newsgroup is for you.  It was created to discuss super-hero RPGs.
Below are some of the more 'Frequently Asked Questions' (FAQ) on or
about the Newsgroup.

(1)  Is there a Brief History of this Newsgroup? (a.k.a the Rationale) 
======================================================================

Rec.games.frp.super-heroes (r.g.f.s-h) was created because there were 
(and still are) a large volume of posts at rec.games.frp.misc which 
drown out many topics, getting them lost in the shuffle of a million 
billion posts, and only the nitpicky (like myself) would find and reply 
to them.  Therefore, Super Hero gamers in r.g.f.misc had discussed the 
desire for creation of a Super Hero RPG newsgroup for some time and the 
general consensus was that one was needed.  I volunteered to be the 
Proponent, became the Proponent, and rec.games.frp.super-heroes was the 
result.  When people begin to gripe about stuff that goes wrong with the
newsgroup (such as messages gone awry (like that Christian RPG thing and
the whole 'Did YOU Like Generation X?' thread)) I post a kind of 
'SHUT UP!' message to the group, trying to keep the peace and such.  I
try my best.



(2)  What's with the "NAME" of the Newsgroup
============================================

|In the original straw poll, the name chosen was r.g.f.supers.  David 
|Lawrence (who I was told was one of the proverbial net-gods and whose 
|suggestions should be considered seriously) suggested we change it to 
|the more descriptive 'r.g.f.super-heroes' which is more descriptive than
|.supers and isn't trademarked like the term 'superhero' is. | |At least one
person objected to the hyphen.  However, the term |'superhero' is trademarked
by Marvel and DC and until the position of the |Net with regards to
intellectual property rights is settled by a few |more court cases (ones that
we don't want to be part of), using the |hyphen keeps us safe.

|Due to some dissention about the form of the newsgroup name having the 
|word super-hero hyphenated, Donald Tsang has stated that:

   "In six months (specifically, on April 3rd), I'm starting the process
   to change the name of the group, probably to .superhero, unless 
   someone else volunteers."

|It's now May 8th, 1996.  Donald has been contacted. 


(3)  What can I Post and not Post on r.g.f.s-h?
===============================================

    Rec.games.frp.super-heroes is for the discussion of role-playing 
games which are oriented to the super-hero genre, including but not 
limited to Champions, DC Heroes RPG, Marvel Superheroes, GURPS Supers, 
Heroes Unlimited, and Villains & Vigilantes.

    If you are posting for a specific game, and not just general 
discussion, try to utilize the following rationale for easier reading:

Game System             Start your SUBJECT line with this Abbreviation
Champions               HERO:  or  CHAMPS: 
DC Heroes               DC:  or DCH: 
Marvel Supers           MSH:  or  MARVEL:
Villains & Vigilantes   V&V:
GURPS Supers            GURPS: (should x-post to r.g.f.gurps)
Heroes Unlimited        HU: 
Heroes & Heroines       H&H:
Street Fighter          SF:  or  STREET:
SuperGame               SG: 
Golden Heroes           GH:
Living Legends          LL:
Modern Knights          MK:
Superhero 2044          SH2044: or 2044:
SuperBabes/FemForce RPG SB: or FF:
FUDGE                   FUDGE:
Superworld              SW:

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS for the above?

APPROPRIATE DISCUSSIONS INCLUDE:
Discussions of game mechanics. 
Postings of character statistic "write-ups". 
            NO PUBLISHED STATISTICS, THOUGH.  Copying and 
            distributing PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED stats for 
            established heroes/villains is a copyright no-no.
Postings of the contents of various FTP sites which contain 
            super-hero rpg files. 
Discussions of various "home-made" super-hero game worlds. 
Discussions of Adventure writeups and descriptions. 
Discussions and reviews of new (and old) Super-Hero RPG products. 
Announcements of superhero-related conventions, 
            if they pertain to role-playing.
Discussion of the art and techniques of being a GM (Note that while 
            some concepts are genre-independant, discussions should
            preferrably focus on those aspects directly related to
            Super Hero RPGs)

Cross-posted discussions that have drifted well away from relevance to 
            Super Hero RPGs
And any postings related to the above.

INAPPROPRIATE DISCUSSIONS INCLUDE:
Anything about computers and computer related products, 
            not including those that have to do with Super Hero RPGs, 
            such as the Heromaker Software, or discussions of topics
            such as "how to handle characters with very high hacking 
            skills" or "what sort of software would be useful for a 
            superteam to have on their base computer?".  

Discussions about comic-books or superheroes in general, 
            not pertaining to role-playing games and such 
            postings should be re-directed to the appropriate 
            rec.arts.comics newsgroup.
Discussions about discussions about discussions. 
Tangential discussions about movies, 
                             television, 
                             comics, 
                             personal attacks on posters, 
            or anything else that does not /directly/ tie into
            role-playing game systems in the super hero genre are 
            inappropriate, and should be taken elsewhere.

ABOUT OTHER MEDIA:
Appropriate movies and television posts include posts concerning 
Super Hero RPG characters based upon television or movie characters, 
such as the recent DC Heroes E-Mail posts about character statistics for
Terminators and Gilligan & the Castaways.

ON ADVERTISEMENT:
Advertisement is limited to only the selling of Super Hero RPG related 
items and the announcement of Super Hero gaming conventions.
Advertisements (especially mass commercial advertisements) for
products that are unrelated to superhero RPGs are not appropriate
for this newsgroup.

ON BINARY FILES:
No binary posts are allowed, but if you are posting a Super Hero RPG
oriented file SOMEWHERE, drop a POST saying where it'll show up.
We don't allow binary posts for many reasons, but the foremost reasons 
are that #1) This is not a Binary Newsgroup, and #2) Many people pay
good money to read their news and don't want to read a binary if it's
not necessary.



(4)  Are there any Super-Hero Gaming Mailing Lists?                   
==================================================

  There exist 2 high-volume E-Mail Mailing Lists for the discussion
of 2 different Super Hero oriented role-playing games.  Many members
dropped from these lists because they couldn't handle the mailbox 
overflow.  I should know, I was a key player in the creation of the one 
for DC-Heroes.  There is also a mailing list for running PBEM's 
based on the Marvel Universe. 

These lists still exist and they are:

The Champions E-Mailing List
----------------------------
  How to Join:

    Send email to [champ request] at [omg.org] (this goes to a human, not a
    listserv or majordomo program) and ask to be added to the list.
    Postings may be sent to either [champ l] at [omg.org] or [hero l] at [omg.org], 
    but *please* try not to send subscription requests there--it annoys 
    those who are already subscribed.

      Depending on what you want to do.

    Postings may be sent to [dc heroes] at [idyllmtn.com], but *please* try not to
    send subscription requests there--it annoys those who are already
    subscribed.


The Marvel PBEM E-Mailing List 
------------------------------

    It's a blast, they've got a bunch of games running.


GURPSnet E-Mailing List for GURPS
---------------------------------
GURPSnet is the GURPS mailing list, run by Sean (s and s enterprises) 
Barrett.  It covers the entire GURPS spectrum, including Supers.

[GURPSnet l] at [io.com]  
      To Subscribe, send a message to: [owner gurpsnet l] at [io.com]      
      Due to mail-bombings, no one can subscribe without the
       owner's case-by-case permission.  


(5)  Are there any FTP Sites for Super-Hero Gaming?
===================================================

For DC Heroes there is:

ftp.indirect.com
in pub\rpg\DC\ 
is the "Official" DC Heroes E-Mailing List Directory with TONS of files
for DC and some other games.  Get dclist.txt for more info.  Very soon 
to be updated and revised.

There are several sites for Champions:

There are several sites for Champions:
1.     Potemkin, ftp://ftp.cs.pdx.edu/pub/frp/hero/ is the biggest
       HERO ftp site. It is maintained by [m--e] at [cs.pdx.edu], though he 
       is a Fantasy HERO, not Champions, fan.
2.     The UMichigan archive, ftp://ftp.umd.umich.edu/pub/frp/champs/ 
       is mostly an incomplete copy of the PDX site above.
3.      ftp://ftp.mpgn.com/Gaming/Hero/ has a Lotus character sheet only. 4.  
   ftp://ftp.shore.intercom.net/pub/usr/ajhobbs has 2 files. 5.     The Red
October semi-official HERO BBS bulletin board ftp site
       is ftp://october.com/e/MAX/FILE/PUBLIC/. They tend to move it 
       around occasionally, (it was at /c/... a few months ago), so you 
       may have to root about in ftp://october.com.

(7)  Are there any MUDS or MUSHes for Super-Hero Gaming?
========================================================

DCU MUSH (short for DC Universe) 
--------------------------------
is a MUSH set in three different time zones:  The Golden Age, 
the Modern Age, and the Future Age.  Players can roleplay in 
1942, 1995, or 2995, and can interact with such diverse 
characters as the Seven Soldiers of Victory, the Justice 
League of America, or the new Legion of Super-Heroes.  Feature 
characters are available in all eras, and non-features are 
welcome in some.

The Modern Age is currently under construction, but the Past 
and Future are wide open to visitors and comics fans.  Come 
check us out at <URL:telnet://muds.okstate.edu:3333/>
(or in leyman's terms: telnet to muds.okstate.edu 3333)


Children of the Atom MUX
------------------------
is a roleplaying community based on the theory, what if Charles 
Xavier returned with the New Mutants to Earth after the Mutant 
Massacre.  Its address is bison.range.orst.edu 2099, and a 
prototype homepage for it is under works.



(8)  What are some good Non Gaming Related Super-Hero Books?
============================================================

Super-related books can be considered sources of ideas and characters.
(Does anyone have the ISBN numbers for these books?) 

 * The novel _Superfolks_ by Robert Mayer, published in 1977. There's 
     no ISBN listed inside. 
 * _Weird Heroes_, ed. by Byron Preiss -- more pulpy than supers, but
   closely related
 * _Temps_, ed. by Neil Gaiman and Alex Stewart, a collection of short
   stories by various authors (Gaiman writes one).  It has a sequel, 
   which I believe is called _Eurotemps_, but I haven't read it and 
   don't know if the editorial team is the same.
 * _How to be a Superhero_ by Mark Leigh and Mike Lepine -- This helps
   a lot in giving your character a name and background and is one of
   the funniest books I've ever read.  ISBN: 1-56163-051-9
   "I followed their advice - and now I'm the mightiest man in the 
   universe!"          -Captain-Mightiest-Man-In-The-Universe
 * Stan Lee's series called "Riftworld".  The first book in 
   the series is _Crossover_, the second was _Villains_ and the third 
   is _Odyssey_.  They are about a comic book artist who manages to 
   make/discover a breach and bring over several giants.
 * _Wild Cards_ series, edited by George R.R. Martin.
 * _Encylopedia of Superheroes_ by Jeff Rovin
 * _Encylopedia of Supervillains_ by Jeff Rovin
   They are both excellent sourcebooks. 



(9)  Can You Answer These Commonly Asked Questions?
===================================================

*Q*  
I heard some Super-Hero games were out of print, is this true?

*A*  
Yes, a number of Supers games are out of print.  
They are Mayfair's DC Heroes RPG, TSR's Marvel Superheroes, 
, Superhero 2044, Chaosium's Superworld, and Supergame.
Contrary to popular belief, Villains & Vigilantes is *not* out of 
print.  Even though FGU no longer advertises or attends conventions, 
V&V is still in print.  A lot of distributors either no longer bother 
with it, or are simply unaware that they can still get it, which is why 
it's commonly believed to be out of print.

*Q*  
Where can I get copies of out of print Super-Hero stuff?

*A*  
Well, you can look in rec.games.frp.marketplace, or if you see any 
ads in r.g.f.s-h, but your best chances to find things is to 'hunt' for 
them yourself.  You can do this by advertising in r.g.f.m, and 
r.g.f.s-h, checking comics stores which often carry old stock like that, or
going to conventions (either RPG conventions or comics conventions).  I,
Cheese, once found a $135 pack of MINT DC Heroes stuff for only $25.  It
included all the stuff that came out right before the game was cancelled, and
it was an EXCELLENT deal.

For items like the DC Heroes game, where Mayfair has no more copies,
you can have your games store owner call his (or her) distributors to
see if there are any in the back rooms.  They'll probably go cheap.

*Q*  
What are the E-Mail Addresses for Super-Hero Gaming Companies?

*A*
Mayfair's (DC Heroes) address is [m--f--r] at [aol.com]
Hero Games (Champions) is [h--g--s] at [aol.com]
Steve Jackson Games (GURPS Supers) is [s j games] at [io.com]
|and The Duel Worlds Heroes is at [f--g--d] at [aol.com]

*Q*  
Where can I find some 1" hex maps?

*A*  
Well, for Super-Hero miniatures gaming, there are the 1" hex maps 
that were occasionally bound in with Space Gamer, and intended for use 
with the Champions map.  There was "The Waterfront", and I don't know 
if more were made.  1" maps are also still put out by Chessex.
The Armory also puts out 1" hex maps, although I haven't
ordered any recently; they have 36"x48" hex maps in a wide variety
of sizes down to 1/4" or so, useful for that grand overview.  

*Q*  
Who does super-hero miniatures?  And for which games or 
organizations?  If they were 'famous' miniatures, what were they?

*A*  
There are 2 types, 3-D and Cardboard.

3-D: 
TSR and Grenadier did miniatures for Marvel and DC Heroes (respectively). 
Dark Horse Miniatures did The Elementals set and a Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles Set along with a Groo set.  Grenadier also did two really excellent
Superheroes and Supervillains sets for Champions.  Soldiers and Swords is out
of business, but they were producing a line of Champions miniatures. 
Appropriately painted Cyberpunk, Star Wars and Shadowrun figures can be used
as supers.       

In the Marvel Miniatures, there were 3 sets.  
Set 1: Spider-Man, The Scorpion, Mr. Fantastic, Captain Marvel, Doctor 
  Octopus, Thing, Captain America, Radioactive Man, Doctor Doom, Human 
  Torch, Hulk, and Thor.
Set 2: Colossus, The Leader, Magneto, Doctor Strange, Rogue, Wolverine, 
  Sub-Mariner, Iron Man, Nightcrawler, Kang, Ariel, and Storm.  
Set 3: Kingpin, Ultron, Scarlet Witch, She Hulk, Spider-Man, Hawkeye. 

|The Elementals miniatures included five miniatures: Vortex, Fathom, 
|Morningstar, and Monolith, in both human (Tommy Czuchra) and golem form. |
|The Groo Miniatures include Groo, Rufferto, Taranto, the Sage, and |the cover
dragon from the first Epic series. (This doesn't really  |belong, but nyah
nyah.) | |The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has four Foot Clan Ninjas in
various |poses, a Casey Jones figure, a Fugitoid, a Triceratron, and all four
|of the Turtles (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo for those |of
you who missed the '80's.)  | |Finally, the DC Heroes Miniatures by Grenadier
were in  six boxes. |In order of release: |JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: 
Superman, Hawkman, Green Arrow (Ollie), |Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern
(Hal), Batman, Darkseid, The Joker, |Sinestro, and Brainiac (Shiny Robot). 
|THE NEW TEEN TITANS:  Changeling, Cyborg, Nightwing, Starfire, Jericho,
|Wonder Girl, Blackfire, Trigon, Brother Blood, and Deathstroke. |LEGION OF
SUPER-HEROES:  Sensor Girl, Blok, Wildfire, Dawnstar, Element |Lad, Lightning
Lord, Emerald Empress, Persuader, Tyr, and Mordru. |THE OUTSIDERS:  Katana,
Looker, Windfall, Geo-Force, Metamorpho, and |the five members of the Masters
of Disaster whoever they are.  Black |Lightning is featured in the art on the
box cover, but he isn't one of |the figures in the set.  |WATCHMEN:  The
Comedian, Doctor Manhattan, Ozymandias, Nite Owl, |Rorschach, Hooded Justice,
Captain Metropolis, Silk Spectre, Moloch, |and Archimedes (Nite Owl's flying
vehicle).

Cardboard:
old Villains and Vigilantes modules have TONS of small 1' square 
cut-outs for table-top representation.  When GURPS was originally coming out,
they sold sets of cardboard stand-ups which included supers.  Marvel had
stand-ups in it's basic set and a module called 'Pit of the Viper.'  DC Heroes
had stand-ups without bases in it's 1st Edition Rules box.  The Cardboard
Heroes were very nice and is another thing to check in the back room for.  SJG
said they may be bringing them back.

Lance and Laser put out a set for Villains and Vigilantes which are 
fairly easy to find in the "cheap bins" at gaming stores, and may still 
be available, I'm not sure.   Lance & Laser is also still in existence, 
and their V&V and generic superhero figures are still available.  Their 
problem is simply that they're a really tiny company, and the switch 
from lead to pewter hit them pretty hard.

You can also ask around on rec.games.miniatures.misc.

*Q*  
Could we have pointers to back issues of Space Gamer and the Dragon?  
They used to have a lot of useful super hero information.  

*A*  
Sorry, at this time I don't know where some can be found, and anyway,
TSR would sue my butt into the ground if I tried to do something like 
that.
