I really need to find a Champions game.

I want to design a telekinetic hero whose powers manifest as a spectral hand.

He'd be Bigby, and I'd play him as a complete geek

I went ahead and designed Bibgy in HeroMachine 3. As I see him, he started developing telekinesis in high school, where he used it for a minor advantage in football games.

As his powers grew, he consulted an online forum for those developing powers and was advised to imagine his power as being an extension of his own hand. Much to his frustration, this worked, but any time he really exerts his ower (anything about 5 STR in Hero terms) a ghostly hand appears.

After a brush with the Agents of Ψ, he was taken in by the Bay Guardians for training. Being a huge D&D nerd, he chose the name Bigby and decided to disguise the true nature of his powers by adopted a magical theme.

The reformed villain Trickster, now the Guardians armorer, has helped Bigby with a number of small devices that mimic magical effects, like smoke bombs, a stunner concealed in one Bigby's armbands and the like.

When questioned, Bigby claim,s to be from the City of Greyhawk and came to this reality through a magical attack. Real wizards know he's lying through his teeth, but let him get away with it.

Books just mug me, I swear.

So typically me. I go into the library to pick up my book on hold, George, Nicholas and Wilhelm: Three Royal Cousins and the Road to World War I by Miranda Carter, and just wander over to the SF/F section. . .

. . . and come home with Harry Turtledove's Between the Rivers and Jay Lake's Mainspring in addition to the weighty history book.

This is when I'm already reading two books at home, Fear by Bob Woodward, and Shadow Captain by Alastair Reynolds. Meanwhile, my copy of The Guns of August is sulking on the nightstand, wondering when I'll get to it.

Problem? I don't have a problem. I can stop anytime I want! YOU'RE NOT MY REAL LIBRARIAN!
