WOM Timeline

Although I first got ahold of the Champions super-hero RPG back in 1981 (the second edition in the blue box from Hero Games, ordered from a Bud Plant catalog), the foundations of my super-hero world started long before that. Back in 1977, about the time I was getting into regularly collecting comic books, I started to write my own stories of heroes of my own creation back in Junior High study hall. Those stories featured characters like the Justice Gang, Mighty Man and Ms. Molecule, Cosmic Kid and others. Those stories, some of which I still have copies of today, started to form pieces that would make the framework of my gaming world many years later.

Over the first few issues of the online zine, I'll be presenting the timeline. This will be the GM's version - with all the details (players in my campaign got a subset). It stretches back from ancient times all the way up to the year 2000. Click here for the latest so far: WOM Timeline.
