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

Greetings everyone. I wanted to announce the official start of my work on Strike Force Organizations, a sequel to 2016's Aaron Allston’s Strike Force. The book will focus on three groups, the Blood, the Circle, and METE (all previous presented in Champions Organization products for early editions of Champions. My intent is to combine the content written for the PDFs with content Aaron wrote for his proposed (but never complete) Strike Force Universe series of books. I intend to update the content to HERO 6e, update the text to correct any errors and issues, and update any references …

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…

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…

For curiosity sake, how would other GMs deal with any type of drain that may drain Power Defense as well. One big question is that if the drain is reducing the amount of Power Defense would that mean that it would then cause even more to be drained as there is not as much Power Defense to protect against it?

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.

Any interest in a San Angelo-set campaign? In it, the heroes are members of the Justice Foundation superhero team and have to be, at least, 16-years-old. Paragon has passed away, as has Benjamin Morgan. The heroes have two aircraft, the second-generation Turbojet, and a helicopter as well as a small support staff.

(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…

For those of you who use Foxbat, do you have him do things solo, is the Awesome Exo-Skeleton Man with him, did he form his own team? What do you do with him? For myself, he's got himself some villains who hang around him. They have no group name because: "I'm Foxbat and we don't need a name. My name speaks for itself!". Unofficially, the heroes call him Foxbat and Company. The Awesome Exo-Skeleton Man is called, "The herald of Foxbat".

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?

The Those Detectors thread got me thinking about mutants and their like. Has anyone created a template for "mutants" or some other human subspecies? Do mutants have common abilities in your campaign?

Since I rarely go on Create A Hero thread, I will start a new thread. The ideal is this... Jet Justice and Milinda Terra, once in the Champions dimension, decided to gather many heros together just in case they were needed to fight anyone planning on conquest upon the planet. Their are 8 members total, but since Jet Justice and Milinda Terra take two spots, that leaves 6 to develop. All 6 should be loosely based on comic strip heros (much like Jet being inspired by Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon). (Also, I just watched me some Defenders of the Earth, which got me in the mood). Humor strips are ok if their are some action in it. . Example strips: Thimble Theater (for Pop…

Welcome. This is an expansion of the "Create A Villain" thread for the Jet Justice Revenge Society. I encourage everyone who created a villain for the Jet Justice Revenge Society to create a physical writeup here. First up (currently in incomplete form) is what would be considered his master villain. The Ming The Merciless to his Flash Gordon. The Menton to his Dan Dare, Pilot Of The Future. His name....: Diabolon The Space Devil. Evil alien from the planet Lucifer (who's low tempture in winter is 90 degrees), he is a space pirate and all around no good guy. Value Char Points Roll Extra 23 STR 13 14- Lift: 600kg. Damage 4 1/2d…

Several of the 4e characters I created in Creatures of the Night: Horror Enemies were revised for later editions of Champions, ultimately making it to the Champions Villains trilogy. Most of them, however, did not. Tiger has expressed interest in updating selected characters for his Forgotten Enemies series (and used Lady Twilight with my blessing), but -- since I am still here -- I might like to do this myself. I've noodled around with Creatures of the Night Resurrected for the last several months, writing up 5e/CC versions of several characters. Before I go further, though, I have some important questions: Does anybody want this? Did you ever use them, back …

A staple in most supers games (especially those with mutants) will be something that will allow another person to identify the mutant regardless of their disguise. They will always work perfectly, identify the mutant no matter what problems are presented, how many people around, disguise used, or other issues. Even more, when there are multiple mutants in the area, the detectors will be able to say the exact number and location of each. For some (eg Nightcrawler), they are obvious mutants, but most will look the same as mainstream human. How have you dealt with the issue of these detectors? What principle do they work from? How have the mutants attempted to counter them…

I don't have the Aaron Allison martial arts book, and probably won't have it for a while. What I want to know are... 1: Is Curly 's fall upon the ground and spin in place while kicking repersentive in the art? 2: Is the First Game (as Stooge fans name the maneuver where someone like Moe blocks a punch with his fist and use the momentum to counterstrike the opponent) repersentive? 3: Curly 's power bost when he hears Pop Goes The Weasel?

When Peter Parker first put on the mask, he was a kid in high school. When he was just starting out would he be considered a “Teen Champion” and built accordingly? Or was he a full superhero right out of the starting gate?

In HeroDesigner what would be the best way to create an Invisibility to Detect Mutants? You can add a detect but you have to have it based on a full sense like sight, or sound or touch.

I've been working on purchasing every Champions product I can find, and I've only done it from here. Aside from pretty much purchasing Enemies and Enemies Revised only to find they were the exact same PDF, I haven't been disappointed. However, I'm getting a little frustrated by the fact that I can't seem to find Enemies III from 3rd Edition. I know it exists, but I was surprised to find that, as long as it's been around, it somehow hasn't been made available on this store, but I can manage to buy it everywhere else. Does anyone have any idea why that is?

What is the most grandiose crime your heroes have seen a supervillain attempt in a campaign? Take the mayor hostage? Kill the mayor? Hold an entire city hostage? Destroy an entire city? Hold the leader of a country hostage? Kill the leader of a country? Conquer a planet? Destroy a planet? Conquer a universe? Destroy a universe? I didn’t set this up as a poll because it is more of an open question with many possible variant answers.
