"He was known throughout the world for his engineering accomplishments, also."

"He was probably one of the greatest living experts on geology and archaeology."

"He was a wizard with electricity."

"Ham looked what he was - a quick thinker and possibly the most astute lawyer Harvard ever turned out. "

Excellence is a core aspect of any good pulp game. In order to establish this for Huey Long's Men of Action, I'm going to steal a trick from San Angelo: City of Heroes and write down some top ten lists. Top ten doctors, top ten boxers, top ten research scientists, top ten aviators, top ten criminal masterminds, top ten archeologists, top ten diplomats... what else? Suggestions for more lists are welcome.

I'm thinking it'd make sense to share these with players as a means towards creating a shared conception of the world. Some entries will be "Unknown." Some of those will be known to me, but not to players. Not too many, though.

Top Ten Richest Men, Top Ten Strongest Men, Top Ten Most Beautiful Women, Top Ten Masters of Disguise, Top Ten Marksmen, Top Ten Occult Experts. I could do this all day!

What is the "top ten concept" as presented by San Angelo? Do you make up these lists as NPCs the players may meet?

This is mention #2. When are you running this game? And how will you fit it in around your Champions game?

San Angelo had a bunch of lists of top ten X in the city -- it was great for flavor. They put holes in the list for PCs, too. Nice stuff.

I'm running this one at work, alas. :)

Are you hiring?

Generally speaking, yes. It'd cut down your commute, too.
