Just asking the experienced contributors - what is the likely response for putting together a super team, or a group of NPCs with good background and adventure hooks and sending it in? Is this the sort of thing that the Rifter would publish?

I think it has promise, but I don't know the chances of it getting published... I'm not pessimistic on them, I just don't know what they are.

A while back they were actually encouraging that kind of submission. I remember a character and all her background got published. It was a HU hardware character. Anyone else remember that?

I think it would be cool, but I would include a short back story about each character and a history of the team. Maybe some detail about their nemesis etc.

I sure hope so. I love Heroes Unlimited, and very rarely get to play it. I feel the same way about Splicers. I love the customization that comes with Splicers, yet only one person in my gaming group wants to play it. I can't wait until his brother moves back from Phoenix so we can have a good group for Splicers.

I've seen ones like that.

Generally, though, they like original source material, OCCs, adventures, or supplemental material (new spells/skills/talents/weapons/etc.).
