Hi, Everyone! I've been revising/converting my 4th and 5th Edition stuff to 6th Edition as an on-again/off-again project and have trying to come up with a simplified format for characters. I modified a previous template to make it resemble what's published from Hero Designer but can fit on one page. Below is an example of a Power Girl write-up for your feedback in terms of presentation. While quite a bit resource intensive when I commit to printing, I think the final product looks sharp and more importantly, easy to follow for players showing up to my game table to play Champions since it lays out everything in a clean format. Thanks for your help …

Outside of Poison Ivy, I can't even think of a good one that's already taken ... and I'm trying to come up with one. Anybody have any thoughts?

For those who don't have too much free time and aren't conversant in obscure and seldom-relevant lore (and you probably homebrew anyway : p), To Save The World is a soap opera in the Champions setting, even more so than the heyday of the X-Men: And besides a mention in Everyman (p.24, 108) and possibly Champions Battlegrounds (which I don't have...) there isn't anything else about it that I recall. So what? Let's flesh it out, just for fun, based on what we know or can extrapolate. Particularly if using the adventure seed where Menton gets too into the show... ; )

There are several pieces of art from the various Hero books that Hero has made available for use in their Hall of Champions program. However, I want to give the artists credit and cannot figure out who they are. I made a gallery of smaller versions, if people could help me find out who they are, that would be a big help.

In general, how powerful are your agents compared to the superheroes they fight? This is not to say all your agents are like this, just a majority (a reminder: majority is 51% or just over half). If your agent team is of mixed usage but are still DESIGNED to knock out a hero (like a 5 man team with 1 AoE Entangle or Flash, 1 Drain, 2 Blasters, and 1 Tank) then the answer is #2 even if they can do other things like #3-#5. Knocking out a hero means a fairly good probability of knocking out a hero (say at least 1/3 of the time) and not by random dice rolls. Most of my single agents with killing attacks could stun or knock out a hero by rolling max damage on killing attac…

Origin Stories The SUV rolled to a stop. Charley put it in park. Turning the engine off, she smiled to herself. It was hard for her to believe how far she had some in such a relative short time. She mentioned to Ash that she had an appointment to keep. Ash tossed her the keys. “The gray SUV. It's been adjusted for you.” Ash was right. The seat had been adjusted so that it sat halfway into the backseat to accommodate her required legroom. Getting in and out of it was easy for her. She dropped the keys into her purse. Getting out, she tapped the door locks. A biker rode by and let out a long whistle. She smiled and closed the door. Anothe…

Sometime soon our D&D game will be winding up and the GM will be running a 350pt Champions game. Most of us are well versed in this. He is running this for his wife (He has been running Champions since the 90s). The game is set in 60s or early 70s. I have created a character name and background. I like to make crazy characters and this one is no exception. Dark Mysterio is a character from a bad 40's detective novel where they made a single book or they just burned all but one. It was just that bad. An ailing hero or villain comes alone and finds this one book and touches it and draws out this main character. The powers are combined with the Detective of the book…

OK I'm hoping I can wrap up the Champions Begins project in a month or two, and I want to please ask something of everyone: Those of you who are artists, or who know artists, even if its goofy fun sketches, whatever, please if you have any old Superhero art that didn't sell or something you just did for fun, or something that you aren't going to use, consider donating it to the project. I need incidental illustrations and filler art, particularly for the Player Guide. I can't pay you anything and the project is going to be given away for free, so there's no money in it, but hey if its just sitting around anyway...

Named and shown for a few seconds in the 90s Tick cartoon but not explored in detail, I'm basically just running with the name here. The easy stuff is Life SUpport for breathing, probably food and drink too, maybe High Pressure to avoid damage from peristaltic action? Though that's not really the same thing as atmospheric/underwater pressure, so eh. Also, some amount of Regeneration to heal from damage that gets past his specific immunities. Being immune to acid and heat is mainly a matter of degree and how many points you're willing to spend on it, since Hero doesn't really deal in absolutes, by design. Still not too hard. Assume typical strong guy offensive tricks f…

So here are my questions. 1. Do you need to use a tactical map and minis/tokens? 2. Is there a cheat sheet for Champions for both referees and players? 3. Do you have any tips for running Champions?

In your games, do you use 1"=1m or 1"=2m? I've stuck to 1"=2m for Champions mainly because of knockback.

In RL, there is martial arts that deal with nearly every aspect that one can imagine. There's a form dealing with direct force, centered around defense, working with the person's agility, among many others. Add in all the fictional forms and someone could be lead to believe that martial arts have all the bases covered. In comics, we even see versions that are based upon the high speed of speedsters, strength of bricks, minds of mentalist, etc. One form that I have not heard of is built around someone who possesses the power of danger sense. The DS does not need to be the mystical thing that Spiderman has, only that the character has some aspect of this power that…

After watching the new Suicide Squad movie, I'm wondering how you could portray their implanted explosive charges in Hero terms. Are they just a GM fiat? If a hero team got implanted with these to force them to work for a group like VIPER, it would be better to have damage numbers handy, in case one or more members turned out to be resistant enough, so I am curious if anyone has ever made up something like this.

Is there a module starring Terror Incorporated? (Professor Muerte, Giganto, Scorpia, Feur) I have read a few threads discussing this villain group. I'm just looking for a module or detailed adventure laying out how they operate(d). If there is no module, how would you set up a multi-session storyline involving this group?

FYI, I recently created a character sheet (in MS Word format) for Champions Complete, but done in the 3-Column style of the Champions 4E (BBB) character sheets. It's available in the site files section if you're interested.

Suppose you have a hypothetical superhero, call them Cintamani for the Cosmic Gem they have. With it they can make just about whatever they want. Wealth? With creativity and skill (and Skills) they can cut out the middleman make what they want wealth for directly with a Transform. Companionship? They can use Summon to make simulacra for that as well. Luxury? See previous, put Images for that full immersion VR experience. And so on. Then some villain wants to tempt them away from righteousness. What could they possibly offer that our hero couldn't make themself?

One of the complications demons have is Utterly Evil. (This puts a damper on my fantasies of being captured, but I quite digress.) But what does that mean? How does that manifest in an NPC's actions? The best I have are the sorts you'd see on 8chan and LinkedIn. Does anyone with more relevant specialized knowledge have any better ideas?

A World Apart is the newest version of my main campaign world, which combines elements of 4th Edition Champions/Dark Champions with elements of 5E/6E Champions/Dark Champions with my original material. A basic primer is going to take me awhile and many posts and edits, so please bear with me. This won't be all finished in or two sittings. Feel free to post comments or questions and I'll reply as able. A note to those people with particularly strong Right-Wing/Libertarian views or apocalyptical Evangelical Christian beliefs or anti-LGBTQ+ leanings - my table are not for you. To save us all time and energy let's just silently agree to disagree and your presence …

So I got to see my girl today, for the second time since Pandemic. And I was talking on how much the world has changed, and how comic book universes have not kept up. And I mentioned that I thought the Avengers Project would have moved to a Gig economy model after MCU movies. And she really liked that idea. If you join Avengers, you can down load an App, that works like Uber, Door dash etc. Bank robbery within 5 blocks, are you available? Heroes can be paid bounties, and docked for excessive damages. And make a living as a full time hero, And live a private life, if wanted. What other changes should the Comic book universe contain? Do you wish to Tip your …

The MMORPG City of Heroes let you choose the Origin type of your powers from Magic, Mutant, Natural, Science and Tech, and this played a minor role in the game. Most of these were self explanatory how their powers originated, but Natural was for those heroes "without" superpowers per se. Batman and Green Archer would be simple examples of this - people of mostly normal ability who were on par with other superheroes. Marvel's Bullseye could even be considered Natural as his powers are highly developed accuracy. I like the idea of broad grouping of origins, but the wide range of abilities (not just CoH, but easier to explain with) don't often lend well to some…

With the real-world Olympics wrapping up and another on the way in six months, I got thinking. Besides America (cause there's so many more heroes), who'd win a Champions "super-Olympics"? We've got heroes from plenty of other countries. My first thought is China just cause of the Tiger Squad, but I'm not sure.

I’ve recently been working on putting together a superhero campaign based on the Shrinking powerset and was wondering if any groups or individuals in the CU study shrinking or the Microverse. Other than Shrinker, are there any characters who have an “Enter The Microverse” sort of ability?
