I have a character with growth. I would like to buy reduced END for STR at both normal and giant size. Would I need to buy it twice (one for normal size and 1 for giant size), or buy it for giant size and apply it for both?

1. The Dead Boyz: A streetgang consisting of low powered youths whose powers and transforms have driven them away from their families, they have carved out a small territory in between two massive gangs both of whom are held off by caution when dealing with a supervillain team...of sorts. 2. The Uptown Girls/The Harem/Justice Squadron: They call themselves the Justice Squadron but have difficulty getting anyone to agree that they are inheritors of that venerable 85 year old trademark since there's another group claiming the title. Those who call them the Harem do so because of totally unfounded rumours that their lone male member is sleeping with all his …

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…

What are your favorite Champions books from before 5e rewrote the continuity? Besides the core rules of course 😉 I know what happened after that but not much of what happened before.

I am looking for a name of a character. He is a brick with shrinking (5") and growth (7M). I can't use Sentinel as it is already taken. Anyone have any ideas for a name?

Wanted to see what people thought about the idea of utilizing Figured Characteristics (like version 5 and below) and the idea of having No Figured Characteristics (as is the way of version 6). I will have to admit that in the past I have almost always considered with Figured Characteristics to be the best way, but recently I have started to gain more respect of Campaigns that do Not Have Figured Characteristics.

At long last, you can now buy The Sylvestri Family Reunion. These seven members of the most evil family in the Champions Universe have been mentioned in various sources for decades. Now you finally get character sheets and full descriptions! Also included: a few ghost and demon minions, and two archdevils who act as patrons to various Silvestris. Here's a link to buy it at DriveThruRPG. Some other sources top, even Barnes & Noble, but this is probably the best known. (Oddly, Jason Walters didn't mention it as appearing in the HERO store, at least not yet. Oh, well.) The Sylvestri Family Reunion: Spawn of the Dragon - Hero Games | Champions | Dr…

Heya From a discussion with Dean Shomshack, I realized that I had a bunch of concept for villains that I wasn't sure on how to build them. For example, Human Centipede (aka Crowd Control), whose powers are : Crowd Control - Simon's power is nothing short of horrifying and is, no doubt, responsible for his mental issues. When Simon invokes his power, anyone nearby suffered a complete collapse of their body into its component parts, limbs, torso and head. Some of the heads remain on the ground, somehow still able to scream without lungs. The torso and limbs and the rest of the heads form themselves into a horrifying, monstrous human …

Would Marvel Comics' Avengers, possible with branch teams, fit into the Champions Universe? They might operate in conjunction with either PRIMUS or UNTIL instead of SHIELD.

Hello folks. I need your help. You see, I need to help populate the superhero soap opera "To Save The World". The soap opera focuses on the private lives of The Saviors, a group of seven heroes in a show which takes comic book troups and mixes them with soap oprea troups. Not only does the show focus on the team, but also there wives, children, and even there enimies and there families also. So, what can you tell me about them? (I remember doing this in the past, but I can't find the thread I posted the idea before. And I was inspired by my Champions Next post to ask the board for there ideas.) In case anyone needs a refresher, I'll Jus…

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.

If so, how? What additional information or alterations would you like to see? I am revising the Monad for Creatures of the Night: Revised. I am going beyone simply translating the Monad into 6e/CC mechanics, to filling in gaps in writeups and adding new material. Especially new kinds of robots! This is your chance to say what needs fixing and how the Monad should be expanded and developed. Addendum: I am aware of Mechanon 3000 from Galactic Champions, the X'endron Network from Champions Beyond, and the character Syzygy from CV3. If you want to refer to them, you don't need to explain them. Addendum 2: Oh, and the supercomput…

Looking to run a Champions game where the players can use standard equipment without paying for it. Now the game would definitely have aspects of Dark Champions but still allow the characters to be 400 points with full powers. The difference would be that characters an utilize standard equipment, including guns, without having to pay the points for them.

In a world where an AI being like Mechanon exists, I’m wondering if currency like Bitcoin even exists in the CU. AI beings could easily use it for transactions, since they would have their own wallets built in, so to speak. I could see it being used by supervillains or maybe villainous groups to quietly move money around. A group the size of VIPER might even have their own blockchain banking system using their own cryptocurrency to do transactions between Nests and associated organizations. VCoins might be a thing in the CU.

How do you create Creatures? Do you start with the characteristics? OCV and DCs? Written descriptions? What if you run into conflicts with, for example, Dexterity and DCV? Do you adjust Dexterity and all the associated effects, or just choose what seems to be a good value for DCV and OCV and all the Dexterity based Skills and Powers? How do you handle Mental attacks on something that doesn’t have a “human” mind? Like a sparrow or troll or gorilla? What about Presence attacks on creatures that just don’t care? Like a fish or golem or cat? Because cats just don’t care. Having played Hero for decades, I just realized that I’v…

Most Champions games I run are based in a city (usually New York) and a superhero team establishes itself (through a unifying adventure) or else the players and I establish the background of the team forming etc. before actual gameplay begins. In long-running campaigns, the story is just a matter of an ever-evolving roster of heroes. But there are other ways of running Champions. I enjoyed doing a campaign that was sort of like the X-Men, with heroes on the run from a government and a society that had no tolerance for superhumans. What about you? Any Champions campaigns that differ greatly from the Avengers/Justice League template?

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?

There's a lot of writing going on here on these boards of late, and I admit, it's been tempting. Too tempting. So terribly tempting that I lost the battle, and have given in. But that brings up another problem: Time. I don't have time to write like I had years ago, before the kids-- and _certainly_ not like the time I had before the wife. Honestly, if any single guys out here find themselves routinely bored or wondering what to do with the copious amounts of free time on your hands, get married. Boredom may still be problem, but it will be far less frequent. Free time, however, will disappear completely; you have my word. …
