Old... marketing? Web bits?

Wasn't sure where else to put these, I didn't even recall these. But they ended up in a backup folder of mine...

 

I know I have more somewhere. I think I even have a copy of the old fansite kit.

Ooh. So apparently I did get some of what that's from. Looks like an old (I'm guessing, from the group names - there's another page that lists the Carnies as "Soul Scavengers") fan page, or fan page with dev/official page info...

 

Not an official page, looks like someone gathering info as th elinks want to go to a (probably long dead) Verizon page.

Thanks for sharing this, @Greycat!  It's interesting to see what lore did or didn't make the cut... like it's wild to see the Super Mercs, one of my favorite pieces of background lore that's never really explored in the game proper, given the same level of billing as the Circle of Thorns and (Proto-)Carnival of Shadows, alongside other stuff like "Pax" that never materialized in the game proper.

Lead of the <New Praetorians Initiative> supergroup.  Goldside enjoyer.  Perennial RP-etiquette overthinker.

Most of my writing is SG-internal, but the following are SFMA that anybody should be able to play if you want new story-based content.

  • NPI: Duray, Duray | 25575: - The New Praetorians scramble to stop the Praetorian and Primal Virgil Durays from getting the band back together.
  • NPI: Brickstown Vice | 36729, 40648, 40803 - The New Praetorians aid Marauder in a drug bust that dredges up his past.  Branches into two paths.
  • NPI: Red Resistance | 43796 - The New Praetorians run afoul of vigilantes after a robbery gone wrong.  Crossover with <Hero Corps Founders Falls>.
  • NPI: Leucochloridium | 44863: - A wellness check on a Woodvale cleanup officer turns over unfinished, Praetorian business.
  • How Emperor Cole Saved Christmas | 45794 - A 100% authentic simulation of how Emperor Cole singlehandedly saved the holiday of Christmas!
  • Bassilisk | 51947 - Several Paragon City villain groups fight over the Rikti's dumbest entirely-canonical doomsday weapon.
  • A Freakshow Love Story | 54544 - Ganymede the cherub calls upon heroes to break up a toxic romance that's going to have explosive fallout!

These are great. I'd forgotten about these.

 

The only thing cooler than having a space station and/or moonbase would be doing a Hollow Earth thing. Tarzan visiting Pellucidar and punching dinosaurs was one of my favorite books as a kid and it's one of the reasons why I love Ka-Zar and Turok so much. An updated version of that (minus the cringey repulsive racism of Tarzan) in City of Heroes would've been awesome. I've made several barbarian and "savage" characters because of this. Oh, what might've been.
