Hey all,

I mentioned previously that I'm building my first scenario, focusing on Uganda's own mud-and-dirt promotion, SGW. Here's where I'm currently at:

Roster
SGW doesn't list its roster anywhere that I can find (not even on its public-facing website), so I've been putting this list together from the matches available on Youtube. Wrestler's alignments and event statuses are, frankly, best guesses. If you have any better insight into anyone's alignment or status, please feel free to chime in.

There will be no default Main Event wrestlers, so that players can elevate their favorites to Top Dog status. Here's the roster as I have it so far:

Mens Upper Mid:
(Faces) Alexin Anoa, Coolman, Hamis Diamond
(Heels) Buffalo, Eddy Monster, Venom, Lord White (limited appearances)
(Neutral) One-Man Army, Jallah Trophy (limited appearances)

Mens Lower Mid:
(Faces) Atcent Riddle, Jordan Loverine, JB, Kapeeka, Sanjuki the Bull
(Heels) Andrew Porno, Martin Porno, Hoodlomb, Martin K
(Neutral) Bullet

Mens Jabronis:
(Face) Rasta Defense
(Heel) Musolini

Mens Tag Upper Mid:
(Face) Micro Stooges (Handsome & Rey Morgan)
(Heel) Crazy Dominions (Naguti & Eazy Huzaifa)

Mens Tag Lower Mid:
(Face) Mesh & Nemesis
(Heel) Built Better Business (Brian Jo & Mulefu)

Mens Tag Jabronis:
(Face) Sparkling Slayers (Eco Matrix & Deo)
(Heel) Dark Forces (Rango & Akram Big)

Womens Upper Mid:
(Faces) Nabwire Hope, Lipanda Yoyo
(Heels) Amesu, Zampi
(Neutral) Asio

Womens Lower Mid:
(Faces) Amedodonya, Maureen K
(Heels) Suma, Momo

Womens Jabronis:
(Face) Maradona
(Heel) Impinidi

Managers:
(Face) Tenge Tenge (limited appearances)
(Heel) Slim Pally

Special Matches:
Ambulance, Handcuff, Boat, Gauntlet, In-Ring (SGW uses a regulation ring on special events only)

Recommended Special Segments (custom):
SGW Pledge of Honor (SGW wrestlers gather and recite their pledge)
Mob Justice (e.g. Part 1 of the Lord White arc)
Desecrated Grave (e.g. Part 2 of the Lord White arc)
Resurrection (e.g. Part 3 of the Lord White arc)
Good Friday Procession (SGW wrestlers participate in the Easter Pageant)
Colonialist Rant (Heel promo)
Anti-Colonialist Rant (Face promo)
Tradition vs Assimilation (Feud promo)
Light Foe on Fire (Heel segment)
Supernatural Event

Monthly Events:
(Jan) Mudrumble, (Feb) Splash Showdown, (Mar) Hot Temper, (Apr) Mudmania, (May) Carnage, (Jun) King of the Mud, (Jul) Blackmass, (Aug) Redemption, (Sep) Sperm Wars, (Oct) Dust Off, (Nov) Massacre, (Dec) Awakening

...and that's everything so far! Including graphics, I'm about 1/3rd of the way through building this scenario.

How you can help:
Have I missed any major or relevant SGW wrestlers? Have I forgotten any special matches or segments? Are the tag team memberships accurate? Should the events be moved around? Can you believe they have an event called "Sperm Wars"? Who are your favorite or least favorite SGW performers? Or anything else that comes to mind!

Thanks in advance, I hope to have this ready for playtesting very soon
Cheers

Hey all,

In 1978, DC Comics returned to the newspaper pages with The World's Greatest Superheroes, a feature originally starring the heroes of the Justice League of America in battle with their greatest foes. The strips have only partially been collected, so I've posted the entrety of the first arc, "Vandal Savage Strikes," over on my blog:

Enjoy!

Hi all,

It's been a while since my last Taskmaster Connecting Wall, but I've just posted a new one available here: https://connectionsplus.io/game/NZck38

This one might be *tough*. Questions are geared towards Taskmaster UK only (including NYT and CoC). Have fun, let me know if you have any feedback or questions.

Cheers

Hello folks,

I'm very excited to share another installment from the "Lost Decade" of the Superman daily newspaper strip.

You might know that Superman's cousin, Supergirl, first debuted in 1958. Well, a year earlier, the newspaper strip introduced its own Supergirl: a slang-speaking chambermaid who picks up a pint of Superman's blood and some of his amazing abilities!

Not only does the Man of Steel need to teach the suddenly superpowered Myrtle Pepper how to use her newfound talents, but he also needs to teach her class. Shades of My Fair Lady!

Check out the whole story:
The Superman Dailies '49-'59: Super-Myrtle*!

Hope you enjoy!

Howdy all,

My name is Jon Morris. I'm the author of the League of Regrettable Superheroes series of books and a longtime blogger about unusual and forgotten comics. I'm also a diehard Superman fan, which is why I've clipped and cleaned up a decade's worth of the character's "lost" newspaper strips -- which have never been previously collected -- and started posting them on my blog.

First out of the gate is a story from 1955 featuring Superman meeting then-Tonight Show host and alleged Clark Kent lookalike Steve Allen. You can read it all at the link below:

The Superman Dailies '49-'59: Superman Meets Steve Allen

Coming up in future installments will be the marriage of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, the debut of the first-ever Supergirl, iconic Superman artist Wayne Boring's guest appearance in the strip, and a lot more!

Let me know if you have any questions or requests!
Cheers!
-Jon
