The Official Champions website has posted an excerpt from Monster Island, a sourcebook for the Champions pen-and-paper roleplaying game produced by Hero Games.

Monster Island is written by Steve Long, and will be released this summer. Check out Hero Games web site for more info, or if you’re going to be at the Origins Game Fair, be sure and stop by their booth to shop and talk to the Hero Games staff!

The Qularr found what they were looking for in a small, unnamed barrier reef island about a hundred miles off the coast of Japan. At the time it was unclear why they chose that location. Decades later the revelation of potential Lemurian and Elder Worm artifacts in that area makes scholars wonder if there were more to the choice than tactical benefit. Using their alien technology the Qularr raised part of the seabed, turning the atoll into a large, single island with an active volcano at the center.

And of course, the three Screeshots, one of which shows a female hero:
