We give em' two big thumbs-up, and we hope you don't think
super-hero and villain MMOs are overplayed. One very cool thing about
Champions Online is that
Hero Games will develop a tabletop version in tandem with the MMOG. The pen and paper ruleset will borrow heavily from the design-direction in
Champions Online. You won't make any throw-away character sheets. Whatever character you play in the MMOG will be available to create and play in the pen and paper arena. But enough about the roll hacks.
That's long ways down the road, and our sister site
Big Download is slowing it down for those looking to catch up.
Their Champions Online feature, is a retrospect that details how it all came about: In it they delve into the mastermind and find out why Jack Emmert and Cryptic Studios decided to develop the comic property.
Emmert's candidness might surprise you. The feature also details the bios and back stories behind some of the caped and masked crusaders from the
Champions Online Universe.
