Scott Bennie's Tales of Thundrax

bulgarex

Scott's contributions to the CO forums included posting a number of engaging short stories set in the official Champions Universe, usually revolving around his PC alter-ego, Thundrax/Craig Carson. These stories provide an excellent window into Scott's humor, his points of view, and the kind of gaming environment he liked to promote. I gathered links to such of his stories as I could find. I don't think it's exhaustive, but it's a good overview, and IMHO a fun read. They're listed chronologically as they were posted, earliest to latest.

Thank you so much for this.

When he returned after his scare late 2019, I believe it was, I had asked him to participate in my role played version of Northwatch and allies defeating Kigatilik and he agreed.

Just trying to handle Mark Derringer cameos in Northwatch and Chinook material just won't be the same, if at all possible. I still don't know how I feel about it, or how others would.

I feel he'd want his creations to live on so long as they are respected and handled properly.


I look forward to reading each of these.

Thanks for posting this list! I much enjoyed reading over the stories (finally). Thundrax seemed to like (or at least not mind) losing his clothing. Obviously ablative clothing is something needed in CO I did end up wondering how many female heroes have as many clothing malfunction as Thundrax did.

One of the people who knew Scott outside of gaming commented on the Hero forums that because Scott's health always kept him from being the way he wanted to be physically, his alter-ego Thundrax was a "total himbo."
