It was one of those "what if" questions someone asked when she found out that I had collected/played Champions in its various forms for over 30 years. For me, it would have been DC Heroes published by Mayfair Games since I played it often my first year or two in college and the game support materials were available at the various game stores I shopped (I would transition to run Champions/Fantasy Hero in the latter two). Nowadays, it would be ICONS, which I host at the local game events. So, if Champions never existed, what superhero RPG would you have played (or be playing today)? 🤔

Want to create a character with the power to enter a healing Trance. Healing Trance: Regeneration (1 BODY per Hour), Can Heal Limbs, Doubles as Sleep (+1/4) (29 Active Points); Concentration, Must Concentrate throughout use of Constant Power (0 DCV; Character is totally unaware of nearby events; -1 1/2) Nonpersistent (-1/4) Does this make sense or would you build it as healing.

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.

Hi, Everyone! I posted a group of elemental themed villains inspired by the 1980s cartoon Inhumanoids and the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strip.

(250 pts each) Enjoy! 😀

The thread about buildings that could make cool hero bases reminded me of an earlier thread in which I offered and solicited ideas for buildings and other places that villains could easily convert into secret bases. That in turn led to the HQ the PCs acquired in my Champions campaign, Avant Guard: a refurbished derelict ship. Our forum colleague Lord Liaden suggested the idea, so I named the ship the RV Liaden. The Champions forum has been a bit slow lately, so I thought some people might be amused by seeing what I eventually devised -- with maps. (Hex mapped, because we still play 5e.) Here's the first section: AVANT GUARD BASE: THE RV LIADEN …

I missed something obvious with another question that I was going to post, but this one is bugging me. I create an END reserve (say 50 with a recovery of 7) (forgot there is the OIF). The Active Points are 12 and the Real points show up as 10. But I've divided by 1.5 and I get an entirely different number. So far Hero Designer hasn't done me wrong. I have used 4th edition mostly and have had to re-learn things. So, could someone tell me what I am missing? Thanks.

Hey know this is random, but Black Mamba (AKA Dr. Timothy Blank) has been a long standing member of the Champions pantheon. But one thing has confused me for years One this that has been consistent with him through all his appearances is his "Drain" (1/2 vs. CON and 1/2 vs. PD)....what is the special effect of this ability? a constriction attack? poison? something more exotic? Just been on my mind for the last few days. Thanks

In any organization (business, government, criminal, etc), there will always be those effectively unnamed individuals who perform the organization's grunt work. Effectively this will be things such as making certain the physical properties remain clean and presentable, maintain inventory levels, deal with customer, and other functions of daily life for the organization. However, most stories deal with the high level management or exceptional individual that stands out. Let's talk about the more traditional individual that makes up these organizations and get their stories out.

This for a long time was one of my go to sites for champions, I noticed its still active, but not had an update since 2006. Does anyone know why it has not been updated for such a long time? Is there anywhere else that hero write ups get compiled on the net?

This is a nostalgia project where I drew inspiration from the Ultimates and other villains to create the Ultramercs, a group of super villains for hire. Below is the link to Microsoft Word write-ups for the characters (6th Edition) along with Hero Designer files (6th and 5th Edition) in a consolidated WinZip file. Each character is 400 points for 6th Edition. The members are: Tangleweb (Inspired by Binder of the Ultimates) LaBrea (Inspired by Plasmoid of the Ultimates) Cybrute (Inspired by Blackstar of the Ultimates) Fast Lane (Inspired by Slick of the Ultimates) Ekrixi (Inspired by Dr. Photon of V.O.I.C.E.) …

My claim in brief: V’han’s presence in the Champions Universe is so large that her metaptot is the only one that matters, and all you can do is serve or oppose her. While a worthy campaign idea, it essentially writes the setting into a corner. That said, I hope you’ll forgive me for belaboring the point but I feel I need to set up some explanation first so as to prevent confusion. I shouldn’t assume people know as much as I do on the topic. For those unfamiliar with the subject, cosmic horror is where the universe is dominated by a vast power that’s at-best indifferent and not at all friendly. It spawned by new discoveries in astrophysics, growi…

Since much of the discussion in the Pittsburgh thread is focused on the teenaged characters, I wondered about what it would be like if a city only had teen superhumans in it, heroes and villains. Perhaps due to some strange confluence or a controlling power dictating it, adults don’t get superpowers there and it is not a place where any adult superhumans ever seem to go. I was also wondering what a superhuman world might be like if people gained powers as teens but then lost them when they reached adulthood or at an arbitrary age like 20 or 25, so only young people had powers.

Here are my character write-ups for AC Comics' Ms. Victory, featuring the original (Joan Wayne) and her daughter who was her temporary replacement (Jennifer Burke). Both are roughly each other's equal in power levels at 400 points. In the few times I brought them to a game convention, players who had heard of Ms. Victory used her for the scenario (the original was generally preferred since she could fly). The Hero Designer Files and character sheets in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF are included in the Zip file. Ms. Victory (Wayne and Burke) Enjoy! 😉

I assume there is, or there couldn't be any campaigns based around it. So far, what I can think of are: Adventures frequently happening in Orchard Lake Orchardsville. There'd need to be an explanation for that conspicuous implausibility, however. Getting caught up in whatever happens in Millennium City. Most plausible, but it's weekends-only. Also not an option in a 90's campaign without a shady means of transport... The students get nosy into the lives of people at school. Given that Ravenswood is, on the surface, a rich kid's school, there'd probably be a lot of white-collar dirty deeds to look into. Which I'm into, but am not sure about the rest…

Suppose I'm looking to create a team of superhumans designed to neutralize, abduct, and otherwise eliminate meddlesome superheroes...or -villains. Because I do. What powers and powersets would you all recommend?

I finished another side project which is a re-imagined version of the classic villain duet Thunder & Lightning (Margaret and John Harrington, respectively) as Assault & Battery for 6th Edition. Assault (Margaret Westfeld) is inspired by Thunder as a physical powerhouse and Battery (John Westfeld) is an electrical energy projector based off of Lightning. One of the scenarios I developed had them working for a government sponsored team known as Task Force Sentinel that is responsible for protecting the families of superheroes in their civilian identities from threats like VIPER. Enjoy! 😉

When not in their mandatory -- and very well-compensated -- two decades of military service the superbeings of the V'hanian Empire engage in the standard superheroics. However, the Empire takes very good care of its people. (Except rebels, but the living standards raise the question of why anyone would rebel.) So what's there to do?

After reading the thread about Red Doom, it caused me to think about other classic modules and how they can be updated. Some are easy like To Serve and Protect or Wrath of the Seven Horsemen or Target Hero. But some didn't age well, like Red Doom. Now one I liked was Atlas Unleashed. Interesting premise and a selection of villains that some were totally despicable and some were almost redeemable. All framed in a group that wanted to make the world a better place, and were willing to kill you to do it. Silver Age Sentinels later had an example of a villainous organization called the Reborn, but the feel was similar. My question to th…
