Deathorb. A former Argent scientist who got caught in an accident when the experimental plasma energy generator power engine he was experimenting on exploded and flooded his body and his experimental plasma shielding suit with plasma energy. His body is actually composed now of 'solid plasma' which mimics his former physical body. In this form he can negate gravity for himself and shoot orbs of hot plasma. He doesn't need to eat or sleep or breathe anymore (He 'eats' by absorbing impurities in the air like dust and such, has no physical breathing system to choak, and no physical body which needs sleep). His body is rather resistant to physical and energy damage. …

The Kings' invasion of the Multiverse billions of years ago saw them destroying/consuming many dimensions, which lead to an interdimensional alliance of Great Powers banding together to destroy many of the Kings and sealing away those that could not be destroyed. Aside from a few esoteric names like the Fire-Bearer, the Lords of the Jeweled Spider, the Angel of Cold Shadow, etc., we don't get much information on the Great Powers. What I'm wondering is, were the Kings only a threat to the material worlds of Assiah or to the entirety of existence? The Great Powers could have been powerful beings from worlds like Earth, entities from the Outer Planes of Yetzirah …

Hey everybody. I'm starting work on an Argent supplement. Was just curious what people thought and would like to see in the supplement.

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?

What would your character do if he awoken one day and suddenly know when and how they would die, and know that they can't change it. The title refers to Dio's Heaven Plan, from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.

This week's award goes to Chris, for: "In my experience, Neanderthals *always* attack aliens." This replaces the previous title-holder, from Jason: "I made my INT roll, and I've decided to do it anyway." dw

Simply put, who is in your opinion the most weirdest villain you ever ran? It could be published, adapted, or even original...the source doesn't actually matter. For me...there is one guy in the back of my mind who I have yet to put on paper (either real paper or digital paper). The concept is that Zarnick (as I don't remember the name I originally gave him, so Zarnick is as good as a name as anything else) was a Russian scientist who eventually became obsessed with a theory of his...that misery creates super beings, and acts of extreme misery should evolve mankind into the next level. He had failing health and put himself into an ancient battle vehical which …

OK I have started to convert old adventures printed in previous magazines etc. They just need a bit of updating to modern tech and culture, a bit of converting to 6th edition, some bits of added info, and illustrations. They don't take long to do, the art will be the slow part, but the conversions are pretty simple. I plan on releasing these as "Champions Classics" for cheap if it all works out. We get a few dozen of these things out on the internet and no GM has an excuse for not having anything to run!

Hey all, I'm working with Heroic Publishing on a revision and update to TPP Champion Organizations #2 - League of Champions. I will update and correct errors in the original material, and add new members, and new art. This title will be available for Print-On-Demand through DriveThruRPG. There will be other collaborations in the future as well.

I don't see this being talked about on another thread here, and I know some of you have paid to have Champions character art done by Storn in the past (a whole lot of artwork, in at least one case), but if you haven't seen it he's been calling for work over on RPGnet for a couple of weeks now and the latest post makes it sounds like he could really use it. So go check the link and if you can spare some the funds to give him some business this would be a good time to do so. Doubly so if you're a publisher or know one who might be interested, since a few commissioned pieces will help but a bunch of art for a commercial project would help more. Frankly, I'm kin…

So I have some new people who have never played an RPG before. So I was thinking about running something rules light. However, before that I was considering getting back into my first love, Champions. So have you ever ran Champions or Hero System for newbies. Did it work? What did you do to make it work?

I have a player who is very familiar with firearms but likes to bend the rules. A lot. So, I’m looking for rules that simulate shotguns in a way that is familiar to him, including different gauges and loads, but don’t ignore the short-comings of spreading lead pellets over a potentially large area. I searched this forum and found Duke Bushido’s discussion and recommendations for websites on a Steampunk thread. These were very helpful for me, but before I started creating rules from scratch I decided to see what was already out there. I figured the most detailed rules would be in the original Twilight2000 book. But there are no rules for pellet spr…

This is an idea I am playing with right now possibly for Champions Rises. Heroic interludes are little bits that a GM can throw in between scenes, little bits that only take a few minutes to resolve, but give the players a sense of being HEROIC rather than just guys in costumes who beat each other up. They can be thrown in as hero travels somewhere or is out on the job, something between the adventure steps. Just a little thing, then you move on. One or two of these a session, and your heroes will start to feel like real heroes. You hero spots... Car on fire, need to rescue people inside (before it blows?) Hostage holding woman with knife, co…

So I recently have joined in a Champions game online that takes place in an alternate world where the Axis won WW2 and both the Japanese and the Nazis have taken over most of the United Sates. Our characters are resistance fighters trying to liberate America. So it got my to thinking, what would your past and present characters be like in a world where the Japanazis had taken over? Give me your alternate takes.

Countdown is the newest cyborg member of the punk band slash villain group Argent Anarky, and the idea behind him is kinda an proxy of Mean Machien Angle from Judge Dread. There is an LCD number display on him, starting at 9 and going to 0. And the lower the number, the angrier and more powerful he gets. I was thinking a slowly increasing Hand To Hand Attack depending on the number showing. He can only have say +2d6 when he is at 8 or below, an additional +2d6 when he is at 6 or below, +2d6 when he is at 4 or below, +2d6 more when he is at 2 or below, and finally another +2d6 when he reaches 0. Also once he reaches say 4 he starts to overheat (heat based damage shield). …

Well, to think up Fenris, the daughter of Falcho and commander of his agent groups. 1) I need a good name for her secret identity (considering she actually keeps one). A good female Danish name, which of course I am not qualified to give her. She might give it as "Fenris Falchodoter", but that obviously isn't her birth name. 2) Think of weapons. As part of her costume, her right gauntlet can change into a wolves head which has three 'modes'. One is a wolf head clugel (Hand-to-hand Attack). Two is it opening it's jaws and clamping down (Melee Killing Attack, Contanious, plus a linked +STR only to grab). Third is a limited ice generato…

The Rules: First one person posts an image that is or could be a superhuman. Then others submit a name, powers and basic background. This doesn't have to include Champions mechanics or be in the Champions universe. Once three submission are done or a week has passed then the person that posted the original image picks the best description. Then that poster can post an image or pass it on. Then the first person to post an image takes their turn. Hopefully this will be fun and provide some inspiration for NPCs if nothing else. First Image

So the PCs walk into a factory to fight two villains, one a high-dex blaster and one is a probability warper. The PCs have so far been steamrolling enemies, consistently punching way above their weight class, and this should not have been different. Three experienced heroes and two 300pt summons and two 200pt summons walking into this room, they're rolling deep against two 350pt villains and six 100pt minion robots. They absolutely should have slapped this fight down. First roll of the fight is a 18, autofail for a roll that could only have failed on a 18. I rolled to see where the missed blast goes, and it's the worst possible place and sets off a chain reaction of …

I was curious about how players and GM's handle Eurostar nowadays in their games. I was always a fan of Fiacho's (or even Fenris's) band of villains, as their role as super terrorists...a concept that was ahead of it's time...coupled with a unique goal of a unified Europe stuck out to me. I had always hoped that after "Book of the Machine", "Book of the Destroyer" and "Shades Of Black", we may have one day seen a "Eurostar Manifesto" book With the creation of the European Union in 1993, the the introduction of the Euro in 1999 Europe is arguably more unified than ever (with the exception of Brexit of course)...as an American I have a skewed viewpoint, but of…

Hey all. Do any of you know of any condition tokens that work will with Champions? Instead of having the GM keep tabs on who may be CON stunned, stunned, entangled, etc. I know there are tons of options for DnD, but I would love to find some that would work well with Champions.

What is Champions Neo? Right now, it is a place holder name for original adventures which follow the Adventure Pack format, kinda. It has original villains and original stories leading to a goal and are designed hopefully for GMs just discovering the system and maybe coming from Champions Begins (but don't exactly have to...they don't need to use the Champions Begin heros obviously). Will I Be Writing It? Sorry, but I don't have assess to a computer to do this yet. I can suggest senerios for writers to flesh out and maybe a villain idea or two, but that will be it. What Are The Goals Of This Project? To provide m…

I'm introducing Firewing to my campaign world - up until about four years ago there were no supers or aliens on Earth, and there have now been supers (including the player characters) but no aliens. That's about to change. I decided that my campaign's Firewing will be broadcasting the battles he'll have on Earth back to his home planet of Malva with an AI-controlled anti-grav drone that follows him around. Kinda like Booster Gold's Skeets, without any attack ability or even skill assistance but making comments about the fight. I'm trying to think of the best way to do this (rules-wise). I know someone would say that the best way is to create the…

How would you build Yondu’s whistle-guided arrow from Guardians of the Galaxy? It seems like an AoE RKA of some kind, but I’m having trouble visualizing how to construct it.
