Specifically, I'm speaking of the patrons of Astralle (Champions Villains 2; p.182-185). Are they greater demons (Bestiary; p.72, 77) or demon princes (Bestiary, p.90-97)? Or something else? And yes, I want something more substantial than "whatever you need for your game." : p

I’ve recently been working on putting together a superhero campaign based on the Shrinking powerset and was wondering if any groups or individuals in the CU study shrinking or the Microverse. Other than Shrinker, are there any characters who have an “Enter The Microverse” sort of ability?

From time to time I'll post small bits here. Mostly to keep psyber624 from drooling all over the board. Some of these may not be used. Some already have a place in the grand scheme of things.

Aaron Allston commented in his Strike Force book that his players were not working as a team but a bunch of individuals who happened to be working together. So he introduced a team made up of NPC that were built on 50 - 75 pts lower than the players, but who used code words and team tactics and covered for each other. Then he let them loose on his players and they got trounced. BUT they did learn the lesson and next time the PCs won. SO.. What is your "teaching team"? The group you made to make the PCs finally gel!

I'm retiring my Champions/Hero System to focus more on other projects and want to pass on my Hero System 5th Edition book, Champions campaign materials, and figures to another fan rather than recycle them. Please send me a private message if you'd like to have them for your collection and we'll go from there in mailing them out to you. Thanks! 😀

(Inspired by the Villain Theme Team thread) Just for fun, I thought we might collectively create a few villain theme teams. All of the members have to match the theme, whether in name, powers, or appearance. A bit of obscurity (as in Blue Raja from the Mystery Men movie) is acceptable as long as the poster explains how the character actually relates to the team's theme. Descriptions of each character (appearance, personality, powers, etc.) can be as brief or as detailed as the poster wishes. Full writeups aren't necessary. Here's the guidelines: Someone provides a theme and a number of members, and then posters that follow can provide a character or two…

So I got to see my girl today, for the second time since Pandemic. And I was talking on how much the world has changed, and how comic book universes have not kept up. And I mentioned that I thought the Avengers Project would have moved to a Gig economy model after MCU movies. And she really liked that idea. If you join Avengers, you can down load an App, that works like Uber, Door dash etc. Bank robbery within 5 blocks, are you available? Heroes can be paid bounties, and docked for excessive damages. And make a living as a full time hero, And live a private life, if wanted. What other changes should the Comic book universe contain? Do you wish to Tip your …

Ok so my heroes also need names lol plus another villain 1: Ashley: hero powers:can turn into a half wolf or full wolf, has amber eyes, her human form is uncomfortable for her but she has to use it.

Pretty chill. Has a robotic heart, realist. Smart with tech. Not quite as good as Avi though. Slightly crazy but mostly mentally stable. Has one normal green eye then a robotic blue eye he covers with his hair. He…

A spin-off from the Create a Villain Theme Team thread. These heroes can be potential (not-so) friendly rivals to your PCs or just flavor characters for other parts of your game world (if your heroes are in New York and they need to hit Los Angeles or France or Japan for a case). Perhaps these heroes only focus on a particular fringe element like animal rights, space travel or protecting Delaware. Maybe they're Rust Age to your PCs Four-Color or vice versa. They could be altruistic or mercenary. Team Name: Number: Theme/Motive: Remember! Once you post the last hero of a team, you then come up with the next concept! ***** Team Name: The Even-Odds…

Ok folks. I just noticed an announcement for a new product. "Forgotten Enemies #1". The first one focuses on Gryphon, Halfjack (who had 5th edition stats in the VIPER book), and Hideous. I don't own this book yet, but, well... Is Halfjack still a member of VIPER's Dragon Branch? Is Hideous still the rampaging beauty smasher, or is he more akin to Jason Vorhears, killing anyone who enters his territory? Has Gryphon devolved into a mindless beast, or has he recovered some human intelagence? Also, who would YOU like the author to tackle next? Mine is Timemaster, followed by Road Kill.

So, for the last several years I’ve had a stable RPG group. We play at my house and with a couple (out of stater’s who moved) on Google Talk, every other Saturday, or so (based on life). After many years of D&D, AD&D, 2ed AD&D, and literally dozens of other games (including Champions way back); I’m a big FASA guy from back in the early to late ‘90’s. I love how Earthdawn and Shadowrun are both in an altered history/future Earth. I loved how much of it’s mythology was based on possible science. Then, I got on a superhero kick lately, partially because my family and I decided to watch the entire Marvel movie series from the beginning of Phase 1 up to …

The purpose of this thread is to tie up links between the groups in the Create Hero and Villain Theme threads and discuss them. It will also state where names have come up in more than one post such as the Golden Guardian and Lamia. It will also contain a list of the Heroes and Villains in a quasi notepad form which will enable us to quickly reference the names and ideas on the site. (as opposed to Bolo's excellent PDFs. And provided I can keep it up to date). This post will also contain an index for the rest of the thread and mention which themes have been done or repeated. Post 2. Hero and Villain team themes and creators Post 3 Hero teams and members Post 4 Villa…

Was going over my digital copy of TPP Villain Companion 2 and the entry for EF-1 (Extreme Force-1). Knowing that the sister group TF-1 contains Piledriver a d Sledge (Tiger's version of these characters) got me thinking about a third group to reintroduce old Champion villains. Of course not all the members should be Champions old timers, but enough of them should be. The requirements for this group: all members wield weapons of some kind. EF-1 is about elemental powers. TF-1 is about missing limbs. WF-1 is about special weapons. My short list of members... 1) Red Rapier: He represents the sword. He is still probably a shameless ladies …

Whenever I read over my Champions source books, I'm struck by the range of activities ARGENT is involved in around the world -- how many pies it has its fingers in, and how viciously it digs into them. But from comments I've heard over the years, most Champions players who don't have those books don't fully appreciate what ARGENT is capable of, nor the range of uses it can be put to for character origins and backstory. In part this is due to there being no source book dedicated to that malevolent corporation. Hero Games did plan to publish one, but the severe downsizing the company went through several years ago curtailed that plan for the foreseeable future. There's actu…

OK as I get a first draft down to sections of this I'm going to post them as pdfs here for people to look over and comment on. My goals are these: To create a package that has a book for GMs and a book for Players For each book to be fun, easy to read, and teach the system The scenario is in tutorial format (familiar to gamers) introducing concepts one bloc at a time, until they know enough to play the game without the tutorial I'm using the old Viper's Nest/Microfilm Madness scenario updated for modern times (so, no microfilm) Each chapter has an intro to the rules used in this section, then the episode of the scenario Play…

I've got a few more ideas that will probably never get used by me because my TT game days are over, but I'm still brainstorming so I thought I'd spill this out there and see what others thought was doable and which THEY thought would be most fun/interesting. I got stuck on the theme of 'a new start to a new super life'. Take a look, go to the poll, and pick your favorite. If you want to be extra kind, also post here why you liked which ever most or even rank them! Much appreciated. The Price of Dreams (Teen Champions)- Maybe you came to the USA's southern border from Honduras after a harrowing trip through Mexico with your family. Maybe your father sided with…

Never bring a gun to a swordfight. Don't fly higher than you can fall. Terminal velocity is your friend. Growth is the amazing power to make yourself an easy target. Never call someone "dead" until you finish the autopsy. Being dead doesn't necessarily stop people from making trouble There is no idea so stupid that it can't be used to hurt people. You can't mass produce awesome. Always make your capes detachable. Always know which walls are load-bearing.
