This Issue's Edition

Welcome and News from the CM

Martin Maenza

World of Maenza: Online #17

Even a world needs a break. Martin gives the WOM universe a chance to catch a breath, but treats you instead with a special All-Omniverse issue, letting his corner of it--Victoria, Georgia--take over! You get two pulse-pounding new tales of Victoria’s young heroine, Lodestone. First, for your Halloween pleasure, “Halloween H20” invites you to a wild Halloween party with Clair and her pals…one that might end in some real horror! Next, “Young Guns” takes Lodestone into action in the slums of Victoria, and lays the groundwork for a deadly confrontation to come! All this and a new addition to the Lodestone Gallery, featuring classic works from veteran Clobberin’ Times artists! Get your spook on, Omniverse style!

Dave Mattingly

Power Point #14

Better than a whole bag of fun-sized Snickers, it's another edition of Power Point! Dave brings you the post-TV incarnation of the Frachise, as his gaming group graduates from TV stars to real-life heroes (with their own base! Which will be finished soon. Honest. Any day now...). There's BlackWyrm Games news, as always, and an introduction to none other than the Amazing Dynamic Man! Let the exclamation points ensue!

Michael O'Connell

The "F" Word #16

The Forte Universe proudly celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Forte campaign! First, the wait is over to find out what happened at the epic game run during the F20 Seattle Weekend. “Forte Forever”, written by K.C. and Mike, brings the historic game to you in all its exciting detail. And to further commemorate the milestone, a new page joins the ForteUniverse site…”Forte Prime”, the “sneak preview” of what will become the online home of all the original campaign material, from the beginning. And to start, you can check out the first 50 issues of the original Forte game, now online and on Prime! Check out, also, the all-new Forte Files, the official blog of ForteUniverse.com. And Mike gives you all the fun-filled skinny on the big Forte 20th Anniversary Seattle Weekend, along with a photo gallery of the trip, so you can take the journey along with us. New additions to Forte.com’s “Calendar” and “Message Board” pages (and one new stand-alone Forte Museum page) give you a taste of how the 20th anniversary is being celebrated on the Forte world, and new Forte art is waiting to be viewed in the Forte 2000 Gallery. Come celebrate two decades of Champions excitement with us!

K.C. Ryan

Son of Thunder #15

Coming off the dramatic cliffhanger of last issue’s milestone Americana #100, K.C. throws down five new tales. But will there be an Americana to fill them? Take this spoiler-free warning to not miss “From the Ashes”, “Reflections”, “Scouts Honor”, “Halloween Hauntings” and “The Name of the Witch”! Has America seen the last of Americana? Will someone else need to carry on? Only one way to find out! Plus, dazzling new additions to the ever-growing Americana Gallery, and K.C.’s report on the big Forte 20th Anniversary trip to Seattle! Abandon all hope (of regret) all ye who enter!
