Editing IMPERIALS Campaign SPOILER PAGE (section)

==PLOTS & PLANS==
: I haven't come up with my "Ripper plot" yet. If you can think of anything good, I'd love to hear it. My other couple "common threats" might be opening with an alien invasion possible or another invasion from below with the Mole Man and Lava Men, but I was thinking of leading up to that more - having a smaller plot (that's still a tough mystery) open...
:*  '''"PUNISHING JACK"''' or '''"JACK THE SCOURGE"''': this idea would change the ripper's victims to supers. If I end up with the Ripper being "the Punisher" (my first thought) or have him be "the Scourge" it'd both likely be more criminal thug supers with maybe a hero super thrown in. (again the majority being Marvel Comic supers analogues)

:*  '''"WAR OF WORLDS"''': the Chitauri (aka. the Skrull) invade Earth... I'm thinking of mixing the Skrull and Brood of Marvel Comics, with possibly some Starro from DC comics. Threating it very War of the Worlds style - but super! With Tri-pods, etc...

:*  '''"INVASION FORM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!"''': this takes the classic ideas of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and mingles them with another invasion story of a couple original Avenger villains (from the early comics). Taking the "Lava Men" and giving them a leader in "the Mole Man". When we learn that the rock is seemingly growing out of the Earth and has been pushed to the surface by the Lava Men. 
: The Mole Men and Magma Men could still exist, but just not have been in the way of the Invasion Machines from the empire at the Center of the Earth!

===Otto von Bismarck, 1889===
: The new Germany sees the formation of this League as another HMS Dreadnaught. Only instead of being made out of metal and plying the waves, it is made of unfortunate people being exploited for a distinctly military purpose that can go anywhere in the world, and even places outside... Other Powers are forming their own super teams in France, Spain, Russia, and even the backwards Americans and Japanese. Unfortunately few people with special abilities have come forward to safeguard our newborn Empire, for which we are ever grateful for. While other nations rely in divine providence, arcane powers, or simply the great unknown potentials of life, our future will be directly in our people's hands! With steel, steam, and gasoline shall we ensure that we do not fall behind in this new and terrible new arms race where men and women are the most devestating weapons in nations arsenals.

===Doktor Belivar Trask=== 
: a prodigy of the under appreciated genius Charles Babbage and continues his work on perfecting Difference Engine technology until he creates the Vorlagenverstand Engine, a massive steam powered computer that has an eerily human thought pattern. When his homeland starts searching for an alternative for a super team of their own, Trask comes forward with a miniaturized automaton that could be controlled by wireless Tele-type from the main engine. So this world's version of Sentinels would be less internal hunters of other super powered beings, but a foreign equivalent to the Avengers and other threats that the old Prussian tactics can not deal with. They would still be their usual size, mostly because he couldn't fit the mechanical computer into anything smaller, built of stark angles of steel and belching smoke from their backs.

===Vorlagenverstand Engine ===
: I also had the really weird idea that the core of the Vorlagenverstand Engine might be the brain of Lady Ada Byron or an equivalent that eventually starts to add a little bit of a 'maternal' instinct to the Sentinels.
