KA. Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Okay, I am back to working on the Champions website I have been threatening to do for a couple of years now. The format is going to be an Online Magazine featuring the Heroes and Villains from my Campaign. It took me a while to get here. The steps were. Idea One: Website of the Newspaper in my Campaign City (too much work, massive daily updates, or constantly out-of-date pages.) Idea Two: Monthly Local News Magazine from my Campaign City (only updated monthly, but still needs too much content that I would have to write, that doesn't apply to my campaign.) Idea Three: Monthly Local "Super Fan" Magazine from my Campaign City. Ahhhhhh. That's much better. Monthly updates. Campaign Focused Materials. An excuse to put in character write-ups (biographies). Should work fine. The only problem is Naming the Magazine! This is where you guys could help. The name of my campaign city is "Capitol City, CA" (hey, I run a four-color campaign. This isn't lazy, it's genre! And, the campaign is modern, four-color. (Sort of like Astro City, but not nearly as well-developed, and I was doing it that way before I ever heard of A.C.) So far, I have had brilliant ideas like: Capitol Capes! Capitol City Capes! Mega Monthly! Surely some, or all, of you can do better than that. I am looking for something with a somewhat "classic" four-color feel to it. Like this thing has been in print for years, even though it hasn't. Thanks in advance, KA.

Storn Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Re: Help Name an Online Superhero Magazine. I would call it "Meanwhile...." the dot, dot, dot is important. In refers to that magical transaction in the gutters between scene to scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Re: Help Name an Online Superhero Magazine. NEWSPAPERS... The Champion ...Seems obvious, I know. Troubled Times ...Nice double-meaning here The Scorecard ...Keeping track of the battles and the participants The Weekly Watcher ...A little nod to Marvel's "Watcher" who never interfered (or Buffy's & Highlander's, who Did interfere). The Samaritan ...At first I didn't like this one but now it's growing on me. MAGAZINES... Uber Evolution Prototype Meta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to seem dense, but what name? (I guess that falls into unintentional.) -edit-- D'oh! "Capital City", that name! No, didn't get this from The Simpsons. Didn't even think about it at all, really. It was just the most generic "four color" sounding name for a city I could think of. In the real world it would be Sacramento, I suppose, but I was going with the whole "Metropolis" "Gotham City" "Central City" kind of thing. KA.

"There's a swingin' town I know called...Capital City..." I'm a Simpson-obssessed freak...only reason I noticed it. Actually, that is a pretty good Silver Age city name come to think of it. Only In Hero ID Damn, Storn, if KA doesn't use this, I'm going to steal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
