A lot of great names have been mentioned, but I dare you to invite Jack Emmert back to write a story arc.

Actually, I'm serious. I know he wouldn't, but... I'm sure there's some untold story involving Statesman he'd love to do.

I'd also like to see some of the CoH Devs try their hand at it, and see what they can do with the AE system as we have it. Let's see how well the storycrafting skills of the likes of Dr Aeon and Sunstorm compare to the players when the field is totally even.

Tycho Erasmus Brahe, the alias of Penny Arcade's co-creator, Jerry Holkins.

Yes, I'm differentiating between Jerry and Tycho. Jerry would probably give us an epic fantasy story of broken spirits and unending hope that challenges how we define the very nature of our wills.

Tycho would give us proof that he's smart enough to crush us in twelve syllables. I want that one.

This is good too.

He's already a player, and gives you guys some free press whenever a new issue pops out.

In an ideal world, he'd get to do a PS238 arc, but I'd be happy with anything he cares to throw at us.

Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

Possible one: Ryan Sohmer of http://leasticoulddo.com/ fame (although I dread to think what kind of story arc he'd come up with )

Unlikely but a slight possibilty: Peter David (Best. Trek Author. EVAH!)

Because it would be bloody amusing to see the reaction on here: ..........Jack Emmert

Amber from Miss Mab: Okay, the Furry side of the costumes would need some work to give her characters justice, but what would happen if Dan was sent to stop Dominatrix?

Phil and Kaja from Girl Genius: Do I even need a proper reason for wanting a shot at the Baron? He's obviously a Science origin Invuln tank with super strength. Gonna need some ball-gowns for Agatha though!

Howard from Schlock Mercenary: Time to paint AE a nice shade of BLAM!
I support all of these except Miss Mab - fun comic, but I can't picture it in the CoH context.
