Welcome!
Welcome to the game Arctic_Sun!
Hey, just wanted to say welcome, and loved your work on orpheus and Silver age sentinels!
Welcome.
Looking forward to your take on the Hero Mythology.

Well, aside from playing those main characters, which appeals to a lot of people, you can always just play in that world. GM's often mutate settings to make there be an improved reason for the heroes to exist.
The world of the Authority is wonderfully gritty. I would get a kick out of playing in it even if set in some time or alternate universe where the Authority hadn't come along yet (or never would). The Bleed and all that make such settings work even if you assume the comic setting is canon. Your heroes could be their dimension's equivalent to the Authority, or maybe they just don't have an equivalent there.

Eh... I honestly don't know. Ellis himself has already done the 'alternate Authority' thing in Planetary/The Authority: Ruling the World. And they reused the concept in The Monarchy. Never mind the alternate JLA that pops up in the first (or second?) issue of Planetary.
I'd play Kev, though.
But hey, don't get me wrong. I love Ellis' part of The Authority, and Millar had some good stories too. Then they kind of ruined it for me, somewhere along the line. It was a great overall concept, the whole Bleed thing, it even had some nice spinoffs (I'm probably the only person in the world who actually liked The Monarchy) I just can't see the appeal. If I could write worth a damn, I'd rather do The Authority slashfic instead.
Now I better shut up before we scare the new guy.

Over the past 2+ years, I developed The Authority RPG (adapting the DC/WildStorm Comic), a cyber RPG (spanning the classic genre work to post-modern material, called Ex Machina), and the A Game of Thrones RPG (based on George R.R. Martins fantasy epic).

So weird; I was just reading about those games yesterday. Looks like I wished you up. Seems like it worked out this time, but I better be careful with that power in the future.

Okay, I've got to ask. While searching the web for a good basis for an avatar for ya, I happened across this . That's just coincidence, right?

Welcome, Arctic_sun.
You have some big shoes to fill, and as I don't play pen and paper games, I have no idea about the stuff you did before. Those who do seem suitably impressed, though, so I have faith that you will bring the same quality to this game that your predecessor did.
So... yeah. Welcome, good to have you on board.
Welcome Artic_Sun, and good luck working here.

Hey, I know you. I use to hang around the SAS forums quite a bit. Welcome and enjoy the insanity.
'course, I asked this when Zeb came on...
We gotta see you get in SAS spandex and duke it out with Statesman? Heh...
Acting on a tip off
Leaps on Artic_Sun amnd pulls off mask reaveling none other than
*JACKSON TURNER*
who as he is being led away is heard to say
And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasnt for those meddling forum posters.
@Catwhoorg "Rule of Three - Finale" Arc# 1984
@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617
That made no sense.
IDENTITY OF JACKSON TURNER
No, no...I'm definitely not Jackson Turner.
VS. STATESMAN
As for dressing in spandex and taking on Statesman, well, Jack is a bigger man than me (course if I could wield a copy of the A Game of Thrones Deluxe Limited Edition, I might have a worthy weapon).
But heroes don't fight each other ... except by mistake ... or through cross-overs ... or tusslin' like brothers ... well, I guess they do fight each other a lot. Never mind that.
AVATAR
As for my Avatar, there have been some good suggestions, but it would be cool to see a few more ideas ... just to make sure I pick the right one.
cheers,

Hey, Jesse! Erm, I mean, Arctic Sun. You may remember me from the GoO boards. It's me, Rune. [Not too hard to figure that one out, eh?] Nice to see you here, looking forward to your creative contributions here as well.
Welcome to the Jungle!
