It's almost complete. I just got a shipment today of nearly all of the books I didn't have. And I just ordered today the final book that I didn't yet own. It should be here in a week or so. Horror Hero Hudson City Blues S.H.A.D.O.W. Over Scotland Watchers Of The Dragon I got those today. The next one coming is Justice, Not Law

For those of you who use Foxbat, do you have him do things solo, is the Awesome Exo-Skeleton Man with him, did he form his own team? What do you do with him? For myself, he's got himself some villains who hang around him. They have no group name because: "I'm Foxbat and we don't need a name. My name speaks for itself!". Unofficially, the heroes call him Foxbat and Company. The Awesome Exo-Skeleton Man is called, "The herald of Foxbat".

I'm working on updating Bay City from Champions: New Millennium for a play by post campaign. One thing I've decided that the Champions Headquarters from those books, and the team, is gone, but I'll, probably, keep the sub. Marvel's Avengers Mansion will serve as the basis for the new headquarters. Any other ideas?

The Those Detectors thread got me thinking about mutants and their like. Has anyone created a template for "mutants" or some other human subspecies? Do mutants have common abilities in your campaign?

Since I rarely go on Create A Hero thread, I will start a new thread. The ideal is this... Jet Justice and Milinda Terra, once in the Champions dimension, decided to gather many heros together just in case they were needed to fight anyone planning on conquest upon the planet. Their are 8 members total, but since Jet Justice and Milinda Terra take two spots, that leaves 6 to develop. All 6 should be loosely based on comic strip heros (much like Jet being inspired by Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon). (Also, I just watched me some Defenders of the Earth, which got me in the mood). Humor strips are ok if their are some action in it. . Example strips: Thimble Theater (for Pop…

Welcome. This is an expansion of the "Create A Villain" thread for the Jet Justice Revenge Society. I encourage everyone who created a villain for the Jet Justice Revenge Society to create a physical writeup here. First up (currently in incomplete form) is what would be considered his master villain. The Ming The Merciless to his Flash Gordon. The Menton to his Dan Dare, Pilot Of The Future. His name....: Diabolon The Space Devil. Evil alien from the planet Lucifer (who's low tempture in winter is 90 degrees), he is a space pirate and all around no good guy.

I don't have the Aaron Allison martial arts book, and probably won't have it for a while. What I want to know are... 1: Is Curly 's fall upon the ground and spin in place while kicking repersentive in the art? 2: Is the First Game (as Stooge fans name the maneuver where someone like Moe blocks a punch with his fist and use the momentum to counterstrike the opponent) repersentive? 3: Curly 's power bost when he hears Pop Goes The Weasel?

When Peter Parker first put on the mask, he was a kid in high school. When he was just starting out would he be considered a “Teen Champion” and built accordingly? Or was he a full superhero right out of the starting gate?

In HeroDesigner what would be the best way to create an Invisibility to Detect Mutants? You can add a detect but you have to have it based on a full sense like sight, or sound or touch.

I've been working on purchasing every Champions product I can find, and I've only done it from here. Aside from pretty much purchasing Enemies and Enemies Revised only to find they were the exact same PDF, I haven't been disappointed. However, I'm getting a little frustrated by the fact that I can't seem to find Enemies III from 3rd Edition. I know it exists, but I was surprised to find that, as long as it's been around, it somehow hasn't been made available on this store, but I can manage to buy it everywhere else. Does anyone have any idea why that is?

What is the most grandiose crime your heroes have seen a supervillain attempt in a campaign? Take the mayor hostage? Kill the mayor? Hold an entire city hostage? Destroy an entire city? Hold the leader of a country hostage? Kill the leader of a country? Conquer a planet? Destroy a planet? Conquer a universe? Destroy a universe? I didn’t set this up as a poll because it is more of an open question with many possible variant answers.

Alright the current "End Goal Ideas" of my Champions campaign is getting out of control in my head (no rush I'm only at about step two or three out of ten in actual game play) but the ideas keep coming. Backing up a bit before I post: Current heroes consist of: - An armed martial artist immortal knight from Camelot era wales. - An electric based teleporting energy projector, great-grandson of Zeus. - A Chaos driven (both in power and personality) teenage magic user. - And a soul of a distant star/sun given human form flying brick/energy projector, thanks to the actions of the chaotic magic user. Events so far: Keep in mind there wa…

Just thought I would start a thread for anyone who wanted to post thier images of their characters. This is not a critique thread. I'm not an artist and the images I post are simply templates with a bunch of cut and paste with some shoestring and leather attached. (8^D) This thread is for those who wish to share thier artwork. However, please do not critique any artwork unless the artist asks for it. Thanks. (8^D) - Christopher Mullins

Players like having characters that possess great power. However, the greater power one has means that they need more powerful opponents. It quickly gets to the point where normal people are unable to properly deal with those characters. What happens when criminals gain abilities, technology, or something else that is more than normal law enforcement can deal with? Most established groups like Avengers, JLA, etc deal mostly with more powerful threats and government agencies are ment to deal with characters at that level. This leaves the street level characters with little to no backup that is properly qualified. How is this addressed in your campaign, if at all?

In the course of having played Champions way longer than I ever expected, I've ended up secretly re-using episodes I've done before. Quite frankly, it's easier for the most part. However, I've made sure that alot of time has passed since the last time. For example, I plan to reuse a Champions episode I ran 5 years ago. Change which heroes are in it, a few changes as to the place or villains used and voila - new episode. One particularly creative episode I've re-used 3 times: a heroine from a different dimension, who is the love interest of another hero, is called home due to unusual circumstances occurring on Earth. The heroes have to solve the problem before …

Hellos All, I have an unusual request. Are there any “official” as in printed Characters (wether good or evil) that are written as a Stretching character. I never ever ran across one at least not in the Enemies books that I have. Just wondering 💭 f there was any.

As a thought experiment, what might be the effect of superhumans on the economy of the world? I was thinking about this today and thought I’d throw it out for discussion. The main comic book universes tend to try to keep their worlds relatively close to “real life” when it comes to your average person, but what if such restrictions were removed? What if the Champions Universe saw the release of tech breakthroughs by superhuman geniuses that our world can only dream of? Would it warp a campaign beyond the point of fun or believability? Energy production? Materials production? Food production? Medical treatments? Space and underse…

Spoilers about the Savage Worlds Superhero(SuperVillain) Plot Point Adventure "Necessary Evil" are past this post. This first post will be about the Pre Campaign Adventure. So don't read past this post if you don't want any spoilers. I won't be spoiler tagging anything. Also, if you have spoiler info about upcoming adventure segments PLEASE spoiler tag those parts so my players don't see them. A number of them DO at least lurk here. First about the Campaign it's self 6e 500pts. Averages DC 12 Dex 23, SPD 5, CV 9, Def 24. 75 max points per power. The Characters are Villains of a Silver Age Feel, with some Bronze age about them. ie No Psychokillers, no Silly characters e…

Who would you consider a “villain in name only?” Someone who acts like a villain but doesn’t really do anything all that bad. Like Gru from Despicable Me, Megamind or Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferv. in the Champions Universe, I’m thinking that Foxbat would qualify. Any other ideas?

The Champions universe, like Marvel and DC and the Forgotten Realms, is a kitchen sink of ideas... super science, mutants, magic, aliens, beings from alternate dimensions, you name it, it's all in there. Have you ever run or played in a campaign setting where the source of superpowers was limited to a single source? All mutants, all from an alien virus (Wildcards), all super-science (super soldiers, cyborgs), all psychic manifestations, etc? (Scott Bennie's Gestalt setting always fascinated me.) My wife ran one of my favorite campaigns with an all-cyborgs theme.... there were no innate superpowers, only cyborgs and robots. I find the constraints…
