Well I ran my first Champions game this weekend, with 7 people with limited experience in this system. (Not counting myself who doesn't have the a lot of experience). It was interesting. The thing that took the longest honestly was the Speed/DEX for people going. I think that's because I was trying to keep track of it all instead of letting the players do it. My problem however is this... I let them all become Standard Superheroes. (200 points, with 150 points of disadvantages) Well we had a test session this weekend first time in combat. One guy completely killed one of the enemies out of Champions in one shot. (I believe it was Icicle). Since these…

Hi big fan of the 5th champions series and super games and comics, now I've was just on the City of Heroes web page and it inspired me to create my own city of the future so to speak. What I want to do is create my own and hopefully oficial superhero world, that would be adapted to ether RPG, CGI show, novel series or comic. This is Earth but they had supers since WW2,

Hi Folks: In my SuperSquad America convention event, one of the characters is named Whiz Kid. Bernie Armstrong took the name because when he joined SuperSquad America he was a 15 year old speedster/super genius. However, Bernie is turning 21 next spring and is beginning to think that Whiz Kid may be too juvenile a name for himself. Does anyone have any good suggestions on what Bernie might choose as a new name? You can find more information on Whiz Kid and the rest of SuperSquad America at http://members.rogers.com/supersquadamerica . Rod

I have a group called Team Gold. (The original purpose of the team was to have a pool of characters with a pre made origin.Well these characters got their powers from the Lab accidnet. problem was it was not an accident. One of the scientist had more detailed knowledge into the origins of the project (To do with schence what was once done with Alchemy) This one scientist rigged a few of the machines in the lab to bathe him in the energy, gas and selct byproducts of some of the projects. Too bad that his plans protected him from the empowering of the accident instead of giving him the powers.Well here he is. GOLD BUG. Mainly he wants to capture the members of Team G…

For those of you who are playing in, or at least have Millennium City; What would/do your characters think of it? I'm the GM, so I don't get to play so much, but I started wondering what some of my old Characters (and current NPCs) would think if they visited or lived in the "City of the Future"? Do you think certain types would be more likely to love it or hate it? Would High Tech heroes consider the darn place Nirvana? Would Mystics wince? Would 4 out of 5 Bricks claim they prefer to hit Foxbat with an MC automobile over any other city's mode of transport?

(may contain some campaign spoilers) I'm putting together a campaign with a main villain named Klansman. As the name suggests, Klansman is a racially motivated villain. He leads/runs/works closely with a local group known as the White Front. Klansman is a main factor in the origin of one of the pre-generated characters that I made up,... a name I pulled out of the proverbial hat, really. I figured that it sounded neat, and was something that could be expounded on later. This is a tactic I use frequently use this technique in my writng and almost exclusively in gaming. Seems to work well usually, but this time I'm stuck. To reiterate, this is what I have so far; …

I mean seriously, how many heaving breasts do you need to draw? Why do you have to figure out every possible way to show some cleavage? Are you like 14 or something? Damn. Oh, and page 21 of Spacer's Toolkit... does that lady's grandma REALLY want to see her humongous melons? (even though I do.) Come on already, lay off the fun-bags! Heh. Anyway, welcome to the Hero All-Star Artists Squadron. I really dig your stuff. And your egregious mammaries.

Plot Posting Game
by Guest C_Zeree- 16 replies

From the man who’s posted with the men that brought you the Character Posting Game and From little plot seeds, mighty games do grow: Share your ideas!, comes the Plot Posting Game! Now I will admit I am shamelessly "borrowing" the idea from The Plot / Adventure Idea Game [for Gms] thread from Green Ronin’s M&M boards. Buuuuut… as cool and as inventive as I know people are on this board, I thought we could have some fun with it too. But in case you don’t want to do all that clicking, here’s the idea: You post a short adventure idea, a paragraph or more. Give each idea a short description, a hook, and one twist or red herring. If you e…

So, my wife is giving Champions a try for the first time (actually, the whole group other than me, the GM, are new to HERO but not RPG). Her character started out as a kind of homage to Colossus (because she knows he's my favorite comic character...ain't she sweet?), but as we've discussed the concept back and forth, she's decided that rather turning into a being of solid metal, her character will become liquid metal. We've got a working list of powers so far (stretching, desolid for getting through cracks, damage reduction (physical but energy), etc...) and a nice background/origin story. But we're totally failing on a name. And thus, I turn to you fine and creat…

WARNING: Longwinded I was thinking of constructing an NPC super team as possible rivals for some PCs, but I also wanted to make it fun for me. So I thought, what if I went with the classic archetypes, but deliberately broke the personality stereotypes often associated with them? After about 30 minutes I realized it seemed there was very little under the sun that the writers of comicdom hadn't already at least tried. Still, here's what I've come up with so far. Brick- This was one of the hardest because the 'strong guy' type is so darn common in comic books. You have brutish Bricks, ingenius Bricks, joking bricks, angsty bricks, and so on. I tried to find …

Newbie question on Power creation.
by Guest oddbatt- 14 replies
- 218 views
Okay... I have a few questions on power creation that can be answered thusly: What are a few ways to build the following power framework? Hero absorbs energy attacks to perform the following tasks: 1. Store pts in reserve for later use. 2. Increase STR, PD and ED. 3. Fire energy blasts. Restrictions: 1. All powers must come from reserve pts. In other words, unless the hero absorbs energy, they cannot use powers. Thanks in advance! Pax, ossbatt

I have yet to play the game, and this is the first characters I've finalised. Any recommendations? For you GMs out there, would you let this Multiform fly in a 150/100 game? Thanks in advance. Harold Farnsworth History Harold is a genuinely nice guy. He'll take you to the airport, pick you up when you're too drunk to drive, help you move, baby-sit your four year old so you can have a night out with your S.O. He has one vise. He is.. well... curious. Harold has always had a love of seeing what's behind door number three. As a child, he would sneak into places where he wasn't supposed to be, from the neighbor's houses to the warehouse's in the…

I've got an electricity-based EB character with XP to spend, and I'm trying to come up with some neat and interesting new powers. His handle is Juice, and his special effect is that, after having been struck by lightning, his body's natural electric energy field is multiplied dramatically.

I'm looking for some adventures published along time ago. Was wondering if anyone would want to trade for them. I don't have any stuff to trade, other than my art abilities. Would be willing to draw a character portrait for some of these items. My biggest want are these two: Coriolis Effect Atlas Unleashed I don't remember if they're any good or not; I was a kid when I had them last. Just kind of want them for nostalgic reasons. I might list a few more in the future. Also would like to eventually get: Champions 3D To Serve and Protect Never read them but sound good. If you have any other old school that's worth trading, and want to…
