On the Midnight's Lair podcast forums, a discussion has broken out over the idea of introducing my superhero persona - The Acrobatic Flea - into their "campaign setting" (Vanguard City, Virginia, USA).PMikey has used the City of Heroes online game software to design a 21st Century version (pictured right) of the old Flea costume that used to grace many a game of Villains & Vigilantes back in the day, while Midnight - a talented artist it turns out - has drawn the Flea in an animation style (pictured left).
These are all, naturally, inspired by the brilliant sketches of the character done by Steve in the late '80s to illustrate various HeroPress publications.
The very generous and enthusiastic PMikey also took the time to 'stat up' The Acrobatic Flea, and his one-time sidekick Flea Girl, for the Mutants & Masterminds RPG.
Of course, at the moment, it's all pretty much just numbers to me, but it looks very impressive and I am now more determined than ever to get my head around the Mutants & Masterminds system - largely due to the passion for it expressed on the Midnight's Lair boards and a recent 'eureka' moment when I suddenly 'got' the core combat mechanic.
Is it any wonder that I rave about Midnight's Lair and its amazing community?
If you're a gamer and you're not listening to the Midnight's Lair podcast or participating on their message boards, then what are you doing with your life?
