• SW10/WWW: Powernaut 1995 #22: I Guess I Have a Quest

    Our Heroes go their separate ways... but what's coming up next year, and
    what *is* next year? Still, Maximum Extremity 1995 is CONCLUDED!

    It's pretty amazing I got back to a weekly schedule for four weeks. So
    It's time for the Author's Notes, if I haven't put them out already...

    I've had to decide whether the general public ever found out who this
    Powernaut was. Based on the 2013 series, people were surprised even
    then to hear that theory. So I'm declaring, Wyatt Ferguson never found
    out. At least not by 1995.

    I've also had to decide whether the Death of Nympho should be part of
    this story. But in fairness, it always was. Nympho's player was
    surprised to come into the game session wherein Total Conversion's fate
    was being determined. Yes, Megaphone brought a nuke. Nympho became the
    hero who stopped the *two* main villains from blowing up New York City
    and then flooding the remains... Her player felt that session was
    intense. But that's what she got for skipping several intervening
    sessions. Still, her character has earned Hall of Fame status, and full inclusion in Powernaut Comics.

    I've also had to decide whether Megaphone - The End should be part of
    this story. But if not now, then when? His character also departed the campaign at this time (or technically shortly thereafter, without any
    Powernaut involved). His creator has also departed now. So the time
    has come. I had envisioned a different end for him... but with a
    Powernaut around, people just act differently.
