Another Monday, another mashup. What’s the Wayback Machine got for us today, Sherman?

“Um, it’s something about ‘true believers,’ boss.”

Right! Time to mash up the Fantastic Four! The Fantastic Four are notable among superhero teams for a) being a family and b) being the most blatant example of Jack Kirby’s “use the elements as inspirations” rule ever. It’s kind of a difficult mashup in that the characters are key to the concept, so you’d almost need to use pregen PCs. Perhaps we’re talking convention games, here.

My mashup follows.

Second Notion

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

Somewhere in my closet is a copy of the old Fiend Folio, the one with the flumph, and the slaads, and the githyanki. And under 'E' are the four lords of elemental evil. The only one I can remember is Ogremoch, lord of evil earth, who I remember because a) he looked like a generic store-brand cousin of the Staypuft Marshmallow Man, and b) my PCs killed him. Thus saving the multi-verse from the danger of, um, evil earth. (It would seem pretty hard to further strain the credibility of the anything-goes cosmology of early 80s D&D, but the lords of elemental evil might just have done it.) Anyway. Seems like you could do something elemental and FF-like with those four baddies.
