OK people, I've been gone for a while and figured I'd jump back in with something fun. What do you think is the best Champions poduct and why? My personal favorite is The Zodiac Conspiracy with Psi coming in close second. The villains in the Zodiac Conspiracy are well developed and function better than some of the player teams I've known. The background info can be easily dropped into any campaign, and the color artwork is great.

Hiya Gang, I was working on some Champions stuff and started thinking back to various books ... stuff like METE, The Circle, Blood, Dr. McQuark and some others ...anyone ever do anymore work with these in their current campaigns? Am I drudging something up that people are just going to stare vacantly at me with? I don't suppose that Hero is thinking of resurrecting any of these?

Did I miss the discussion of this product? Who bought it and what did you think? I have not played Champions in ages, but might buy CB to use the maps for some form of modern HERO game. I was not particularly impressed with the maps in the Hero System Resource Kit and do not want to shell out the dough for this product if it is not worth it. I care about the size, quantity, and quality of the maps and of the supporting information that does not pertain to a particular adventure of scenario (e.g., defenses and armor of doors shown, maybe suggested number and type of employees in a business). A secondary question: does anyone have recommendations of other (HERO or …

I just got this strange idea for a power -- Stretching: USable Against Others. You have the power to elongate and twist OTHER PEOPLE'S limbs in any way you desire. It deoesn;t do damage to them, but it can certainly lead to a great deal of inconvenience and discomfort. And if you're really creative you can cause some nasty effects with it ("No, Doc, i did NOt want to stick my head under that pile-driver! That accursed Stretcho!") Has anyone ever used this construction? has any GM ever allowed it? And what sorts of uses can you think of for a power like this?

I can't open the PDF in Adobe Photoshop - understandably - so am asking how others have extracted the maps to make blown-up print size ones where applicable? I understand I could take a screen snapshot and use that. No problem. But looking for better methods. Please note the purpose is solely for personal game-play. I just want to use the maps in my games.

I'm disappointed with this book. They expect that you have access to Champions, Champions Universe and CKC. You can't just pick up the book and run it. 80% of the villains listed in the adventures aren't in the book, but are in the other three. If you already have Champions, Champions Universe and CKC I would recommend the book. The first adventure is very smartly written and spaced out (only one I've read so far). If the others are half as smart as the first it is well worth it. I love modules that give you play by play instead of just a loose outline. Just ticks me off, Da Guru

Hi Folks, An online store has available several issues of the old "Adventurer's Club" magazine for sale. I am interested in purchasing the issues that have Champions Adventures/Scenarios (see Steve there is a market for adventures) but they are quite pricey. I was wondering if anyone has read/played any of the following and if they had could they please give me a small review: Adventurer's Club #1 - The Mechanon Gambit (they are charging an arm and a leg for this - is it any good?) Adventurer's Club #3 - Terror in the Treasures Adventurer's Club #4 - Nova Adventurer's Club #18 - Unspecified Champions adventure Adventurer's Club #20 - Uns…

Shockwave Clap: Strength, AOE Cone (+1), only to strike (-1) I figured a -1 for Only to Strike due to the fact that strength either allows you to lift or to strike, so that would eliminate half of its utility. What do you all think of this?

Greetings, I got my copy of Viper yesterday. I have only skimmed the book, but for what I have seen I really like it. I am very happy with the section on Viper philosophy and goals. I will comment more later after I have had a chance to read through it more... Polaris

Let's say I'm in a holgraphic inner-city danger room situation with a shape shifter who can shrink down to the size of a bug and fly. I'm playing a non-gadget using semi-brick who is combat savy. Using everything at my disposal in a city environment...what could I do to hinder him or detect him in a shrunken state. Any ideas on defeating him while he's in "Giant Man" form???

The "Best Champions Product" thread had reminded me of the first edition of the VIPER sourcebook, to me one of the best developed and most useful of the 4E books; but of course with the new VIPER a great deal of that book is no longer germain. Then it occurred to me that much of how the old VIPER was structured would serve as a good model for using ARGENT in a Champions Universe campaign: the corporation-like divisions, the Advisory Council resembling a board of directors, the selling of local franchises and advanced technology to criminals, the emphasis on cutting-edge research and development. Even the ultimate leadership of the old VIPER would be very appropriate to …

I was wondering what was in the old Champions GM screen, besides the obvious. I saw it recently available and was wondering if it was worth paying around 20 bucks for? It says that it comes with dozens of color game pieces? Anyone seen these? If so, what exactly are they and how is the quality? Thanks. Oh, pic attached.

First of all, I'd like to ask how is the Viper book? My FLGS has yet to recieve the goodness of Steve's toils in the coils. Second of all, I'd like some assistance (Especially by those of you who may HAVE the Viper book). I have a PC who is a minor hunted by Viper. The PC is an android. As it goes, Viper was secretly funding a 'legitimate' attempt to create a combat android funded by a corporation. The head of the robotics team was a robotics genius, and created the PC. However, perhaps sensing something amiss, he put some top secret information to SOMETHING (Yet undecided by me, unknown to players) inside the robot, and finally worked on her on his own. Unfort…

Help building power

How would swallowing whole work? I'm trying to build it as a power, but then I got to thinking....couldn't anyone of the sufficient size attempt to swallow someone else? I'm sure if they did it often, it would be built like a power...but what about as a one time thing, how would you rule it? Feedback for either possibility is welcomed. If this is covered in some book somewhere, please don't give me a reference to it...because current situations prevent me from having anything but the main rulebook (and I don't even have that at the moment)

Hi guys, I am soon going to start a new Champions PBEM campaign and am looking for players. The game will be set deeply in the published champions universe making use of all the supplements so far as well as the characters in Digital Hero. I am looking for six players to form a superhero team in Freedom City (only the setting will be used not the Mutants & Masterminds characters) but the campaign will be very mobile visiting many other locations in the CU. The campaign will hopefully run for a long time and I am only looking for players who would be commited for playing in the long term. The game would run by e-mail on a weekly turnaround and I w…

A while back I started to lay the groundwork for a WW2/GAC campaign. Now the campaign is stalled since one of the main players dropped off the face of the planet, but the work continues. I got inspired to make a Battlesuit Potempkin from the 4th Edition Golden Age Champions. It's fun and funky, drop on by to check it out. It's on the Work in progress page. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/proditor/
