FIRST, HOWEVER, NEVERMORE WISHES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FOLLOWING GAMERS:

• David Lovelace-Macon, who joined the campaign in progress--in the thick of all the plots and counterplots--and asked, "Hey, is there a website?"
• Doug Taylor, for taking over a comics-fanboy in-joke NPC and making it his own--and for doing the detective work resulting in the flowchart.
• Thad Rice, Jake Rainwater, Sean Griffioen and the rest of the Champions Gang. Many of their creations run rampant throughout Ravensgate as NPCs.
• The rest of The V&V Gang, for creating such compelling characters.
• Doug Taylor, again, for inviting us to his home, and to a V&V session in the first place. This is all your fault, man!
• Thad Rice, again, for enforcing a certain standard of storytelling in gaming sessions.
• Abacus Diesel, for all the painstaking hours building this site--and for saying "Why not?"

This site is a comprehensive source of information on V&V gaming in several universes and genres, including the webmaster’s own.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the Emporium, check out the other V&V pages in its Links section.  Also, if you’ve ever wanted to run your superheroes through a Lovecraftian nightmare, the Emporium is the place for you.  Now if he’d only stat out the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness Universe . . . .

One of the few long-running PBEMs I know of, the alternate-timeline campaign features the superheroes sworn to protect Earth’s first Martian colony.  Highly recommended if you’re in search of outside-the-box character creation ideas.

Need to come up with a module and can’t create the right villains?  Well, rip them off from somewhere!  (In Ravensgate, we call that the “free exchange of ideas.”)  Over at Most Wanted, that’s encouraged.

From Green Ronin, the hottest new supers game on the market.  Our Champions gang has just made the switch to this system, but Ravensgate will remain in V&V for the time being.

This is the official site for Classic V&V.

This is the website for our group's primary V&V campaign, now in its 13th year.

Freeport, WA was the original "City of Crime," a PBEM that involved many of us from the Champions group.

Champions is my preferred FRPG system, although I believe the mechanics should take a backseat to the story. This is the official website of Hero Games, a company reincarnated as many times as Doctor Who.

Atlas Games owns the copyrights and trademarks related to On The Edge and Over The Edge. They also are the publishers of such interesting games as Feng Shui and Lunch Money.

Sociologist Ray Oldenberg, in his book The Great Good Place, outlines the necessary components for a rewarding life and a cohesive, coherent society.  He suggests that each person needs three “places”—-the first two being home and work.  That “third place,” often missing in American society (and supplanted by the TV), is somewhere people from diverse backgrounds can interact and continue learning.

About a block and a half from Elliott Bay Books and just blocks from Safeco Field, Zeitgeist is a haven of independent thought, art and coffee in the corporate wasteland that is Downtown Seattle.
