Has anyone ever run the Pretty Hate Machines module? I was thinking of running it and looking for people's experience with it.

I was just looking at ild material and as most probably know, UNTIL was the original agency that dealt with Superheroes. So I’m thinking what would change if anything in a typical Champions game if there was no PRIMUS, only UNTIL.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/11/05/us/nebraska-midwest-meat-heist-arrest-trnd/index.html If you can’t turn this into an adventure seed, then you're clearly not GMing hard enough. Just think of some of the reasons somebody would need multiple truckloads of stolen meat.

I found an old paper while cleaning my room that has a list of ideas for Champions campaigns of various types and power levels.I figured I would post them here to offer some inspiration for GMs looking to start up a campaign: Part of a government or state official super team collected to fight crime and terrorism Each character is a child of an extradimensional being who has sown his oats widely - characters probably don't even know they were related. Dying alien distributes part of their power amongst all people gathered nearby to help fight his evil family. Low powered game, possibly no other super types in the world Characters all awaken…

Hello All, Hopefully in the near future I’ll he running a scenario for some friends and their kids. My friends have some experience. Its been a long time and we’re going to play 4th cause that is what they are most familiar with. I have both Viper Nest in pamphlet form (which I think is 1st ed) and also 3rd which is in the 3rd ed rules book. If any one has used it is there anything I should watch out for? Right now I’m looking at Viper Blasters themselves. 1st ed they’re only 5D6 EB AF, 3rd they’re 2D6 RKA AF and 4th 8D6 EB AF. The other stats are basically the same. I want Viper to be a minor threat. Oh and I’m GMing this blind as my buggy wants them to have…

Just a thought that struck me. Out of the CU’s cast of villainy, who would be best to use on holiday-themed teams? I’m mainly thinking Halloween and Christmas.

Hello All, I believe I have the answer already but want to double check. When you calculate the cost of an Ultra Slot, it is based on the ACT points in the slot NOT base on the cost of the MP. I’m reworking Blue Jay. She has an MP that 75 pts but its OIF so she pays 50 points. Her two slots are Ultras which both work out to 75 Active Points each Slot however she is listed as only paying 5 Points per slot not 7. Am I correct?

Hi Hero friends! I wanted to let you know that I have a Kickstarter running that is superleaping towards a stretch goal with none other than Steve Long handling the writing chores. This project is an expansion of my first RPG supplement. This time around it isn't for Champions, but as a veteran of Hero System gaming, it is hard to take the Hero out of a writer, so it will be easy to convert. Please give it a look and help us get some fresh supers content from a legend! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blessedmachine/campaign-city-supers-for-savage-worlds

One of the world's most enthusiastic explorers of alternate realities is Doctor Odysseus. These are a few of the worlds he has visited and named: Gaia: The Champions Universe. Alternatively, your homegrown campaign universe if it could be the birthplace of a dimension-hopper named Doctor Odysseus. Hera: A universe where the most powerful supers got together and created a standardized set of laws that they would enforce on the entire planet of Earth. National governments still exist but their ability to make and enforce criminal laws is restricted. One of their laws is the one requiring every active super to join their gigantic super-team. …

For those superheroes who check their Horoscopes: Aries-As a crimefighting Aries you take the initiative. You have a pioneering spirit and are willing to take action while others debate. That said, the 'bad guy' you are about to perform a move through on as you have a life and death battle on a tall roof is just a very realistic looking image power. Taurus- A Tauran superhero such as yourself should not neglect his deep need for artistry even in the battle for justice. Sadly, the mayor,while probably asking for it, will not appreciate it when you turn his limo to modern sculpture. Gemini-Gemini superheroes are fun loving, talkative, and quick thi…

One of the players wants to create a Rapunzel-type character, with long hair of course. I'm not sure what to suggest other than stretching to grab things at range (her hair), or maybe martial arts. I know the Tangled tv series had given her hair addtl powers, such as a forcewall (her hair protects against dmg), and of course, healing. Any suggestions?

I've always wondered this... How many points did Dr. Strange use from his Magic VPP to take down Galactus with Strange's "Summoning all the ghosts of the people you've killed"? Remember, although originally Galactus had to eat rarely (once a century, I think) for most of his billions of years lifespan, he has had to snack on a planet about every month when he started taking heralds (centuries or millenia (sp!) ago, judging from the fact that the Sivler Surfer's race lives thousands of years.) So, how many points are we talking here?

In your character's adventures he or she encounters "Wynnie Wonder", who seems to be a super heroine in her late teens, or at least certainly no more than twenty. A typical flying brick in her power set, her personality is kind, wholesome, and brave. She protects the innocent, values life, and tries to be a good role model. If she has a failing it is that she can seem a bit of a Goody Two Shoes. Some heroes may also be surprised to find that they make a doll of her, and other toys related to her. They appear to be quite a hit with young girls. Even boys are sometimes caught watching her cartoon, though she'll never be the most popular hero, since she just isn't cool enoug…

Since I'm running Mutants and Masterminds, but in a predominant Champions universe, I thought I would share some of my doodles as I get them done for my game. I'll post stuff here occasionally. this particular beastie is being written up in MM, but was already featured as a Champions critter. Neil has the file on this one (as do I, but it is so buried in my mac, and it is a creation workshop file and won't be read by my mac) I'm hoping y'all can convince him to post it here. Anyways the art is below. Have fun. {If you are curious about the MM stats, here is the thread to that...page 7} http://www.greenronin.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1570

So, my minions are of the age where they would like me to run a game of Champions for them. Since one works full time and has a social life, and the other is busy with school, recess and astrophysics, I decided the best way to introduce their young minds to the setting is through little video snippets, posted to Youtube. Since the minions actually like them, I thought I'd share the video links with all of you, in case you'd like to check out the setting for yourselves. Innovation City - Intro Dr Slater Outback

I was reading through the new Champions supplement Lifted and started thinking about how campaign worlds might be structured without using the classic comic book superhero/supervillain tropes. If superhumans don’t take part in the cosplay out of comic books, how would they engage with society? Would it be X-Men anti-mutant paranoia? Some other sort of dystopia? How would governments react to suddenly having superhumans in their midst today, regular people suddenly having godlike power, without a history going back to World War II? I imagine the first instinct would be to try and control superhumans, either by force or threatening their loved ones. …

As a high school teacher, I have just agreed to be the faculty advisor the my school's D&D Club. Mainly, that means they'll be meeting in my room, and I'll be making sure they don't set the place on fire. Unofficially, it means that I'll have a semi-captive audience to introduce to the wonders of the Hero System. Now, I don't want to freak them out with the (alleged) complexity of the game. And honestly, I haven't GMed or played for about a decade, so I want to keep it simple for me, too. So here are some of my thoughts going in: I'm planning to use an earlier edition of the game, probably 3rd (but maybe 4th). I'm looking a…
