Was I wrong about Champions being the place to go?

Oh - I should mention also that our friends over in SD Paragon are looking into playing versions of their characters from City of Heroes in Mutants and Masterminds, and holding sessions via AIM, Skype and this set of tools here. 

Interesting that you should mention that. Baseload was going to run an M&M game on "off" saturdays (our gaming group is missing 2-3 people every other week), and I had rolled Purrfect Detective for it. Her character sheet is still sitting on my hard drive (Baseload had to cancel the game due to overload). Jack (Patriot) was originally from Palladium's "Heroes Unlimited", was converted/redone in "Silver Age Sentinels" (the super hero table top RPG by the people that made B.E.S.M.), and then converted AGAIN to "Mutants & Masterminds" (and technically again to 3rd Edition, though we decided not to use him.). It was only in the M&M era that he was added to CoH (and now CO).
