The PCs of Bay City Blues

**nexus** · Jun 27th, '04, 01:50 PM

These are some of the player characters from my second longest running Champions game, Bay City Blues. Its set in the New Millennium Bay City setting with allot of homebrew touches. The campaign is somewhat innovative in that we didn't worry about balancing PCs, just made them up according to concept. So point totals are all over place. Some of the characters are still in Fourth Edition (conversion is on going). I hope you'll find them interesting.
