So, our GM said he will give our base a bonus XP per session if we pose a session write-up online. I figure, since it is a champions game, the obvious place to post would be here, but I hate to cause annoying spam. Is it ok to post the write ups here? We would always love comments, of course. If it matters, the game runs every two weeks. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I have been running a simple little adventure designed to get our characters fighting just about every villian I could throw at them. The set up is that Foxbat has invited/challenged the supervillain community to prove themselves and see who deserves the title of "second best supervillain", since he himself obviously is THE Best. To add motivation, he has offered a cash prize of $2,000,000 to the winner. They have a week to earn points by doing things like: destruction of public property, humiliating police, humiliating Until, and most importantly, defeating the heroes in a public display of power. This has brought the more small time villains out of the wood…

I'm cross posting this here (from the "Hero System" forum) to ensure folks see it. So who has the best collection of current Hero Games links out there? Rules, characters, games, whatever... I have a few on my site, and I have tons more in my bookmarks, but I started thinkin' about ShelleyCM's list, and Theala's, and a couple more, but I don't know of any big list that's current. If there isn't one I figured I'd put one together, for my own use if no one else's. If there's interest and/or need, I'd be more than happy to collect any and all y'all have to offer.

For your perusal. Anything OT is welcome. Character Name: Blonde Fox, aka Daisy Dickens Group Affiliation: None, has teamed up in the past with the Yellow Rider and the Lamplighter.

Nationality: American Birthplace: Forest Hills, NY Age: 22 (In 1938) Birthdate: June 24, 1915 Background In earilest memories, Daisy could hear the rolling, singing, quarreling men, rough and tumble men who smelled of the sea. They would shake the loft where her bedding was made like the quarterdeck of their ships in a gale. …

I was fooling around with Paint Shop Pro and the drawings that Kerry Connell (fellow Infinite Imaginations GM and Digital Hero artist) did for me for my SuperSquad America game and decided to try coloring them. While not perfect, they turned out better than I thought they might.

Has anyone here had the sadistic notion to actually run the Battle of Detroit? If so, was Dr D alone or did you include the destroids, Grond, Glacier etc?

Attention MidGuard Players: stop reading right now!! In my MidGuard Champions campaign we're off into interstellar space to tackle the Ackalian Empireâ„¢ and save the Earth from the twisted schemes of the Empress. I need to whip an outpost on the outer edges of Ackalian space that the characters can visit to do a bit of snooping and figure out their next move. Since this outpost is the nearest point of the Ackalian Empireâ„¢ to Earth, I figure we'll probably be using it in future story arcs as well. What I want is something between Babylon 5 and Mos Eisley spaceport, with a dash of Deep Space Nine thrown in for flavor. A somewhat rundown place where traders, merc…

Has anyone else encountered a situation where crowd control powers Entanfles/flashes completly dominates the play conditions. There was a scenario where a psi used an entangle based on ecv. This pretty much got all the party members but 2. We couldnt even figure out if an ego blast would break it. That's not actually the point of this though. After that I began looking at Entangles in general and flashes, a standard 60 point entangle will stop indefinatly anyone with under a 30 str. This seems a little overpowering as you could basicly put a team with only 1 or 2 high str characters trying to spend their actions just breaking people out. Flashes are bad too but…

Has anyone yet done a write-up for Ghost Rider, or preferably, Vengeance? I know there's not much difference between the two, but I would imagine Vengeance is a bit stronger and not quite as fast. I'm curious as to an approximate strength level of the two, if anyone knows where a write-up can be found or has done one, please let me know.

Any advice both for the Player and the GM side for dealing with a player being taken out very early in combat. Here is a good, example situation. We have been having a very prolonged battle in our campaign. In the first session my character was taken out about fifteen minute into it by an attack that I was vulnerable to. I was out until tommorrow. Then next game session we played for 15 minutes before it was called due to ice. Then on the next game session my newly introduced character dropped his invisibility and was struck unconcsious by a "surprise" attack. It was about 45 minutes into that game. As a GM I have been occasionally pulling punches because …

Another one for my Stroud's Mercs campaign. (Players-- OUT!!! ) This is a corrupted mentalist. I want to make him as creepy and unnerving as possible. Particularly to the hero team's innocent and unfledged menalist. Of course, much of that will come from the way his powers are used, and the setting. But I'd be very eager to hear of any power suggestions or tactics anyone has used for evil mentalists that were especially sinister or depraved. The lower the better. Don't hold back. Here's what I have thus far: Pandemonium Player: NPC Val Char Cost 10 STR 0 18 DEX 24 15 CON 10 10 BODY 0 18 INT 8 29 EGO 38 18 PRE 8…

I thought I'd see what the creativity of the Hero community could come up with for episodes for the Champions Universe hottest weekly soap opera. This week: The beautiful Charisma has been replaced on the team by her evil sister Hecate, utilizing an illusion to make each appear as the other. To make matters worse, Charisma has been mind controlled to believe she truly is the vicious vixen. Can the team foil Hecate's dastardly scheme, or will Justice Force Omega fall prey to her attempt to destroy them from within?

I was visiting Surbrook's stuff. And it seems when I click on something only half the page opens. For example for a character only from Background/History on down. I was just curious if something happened (whether he changed the website format, etc). Or is there something wrong with my computer.

I just read Lord Liadens thread about the name COUNT INFINITY and I loved it. Im definately stealing this idea as a Super Villian for my tabletop game and Im going with the super scientist with Duplication (Actually, as his background goes, he can duplicate ANYTHING, as long as he has enough END to do so, however Im tacking on x5 end to all his powers to keep him balanced considering his dulicates can also duplicate). What Id like to ask you Herodom, is how would I best represent a power I'd like to call Safety in Numbers. I'm wanting this badguy to counteract one of the parties Mentalists with a 60 some odd PRESENCE (its his minion destroyer). The more duplicates…

If super powers did come into existence, let's imagine a group of superhumans did form to "protect the earth". What sort of personalities, powers, interests and tactics do you think would be ideal for such a group? Basically what would you like to see? What would you fear the most?

Not just hero books either- how about other games systems as well? See, I had this idea for the conversion that I'm doing of Perforator from MIxed Doubles and my tought was : What if the woman that he thinks is his sister isn't? Wahtif she is coincedently also named Susanne(sp?) but is not related? HOw will this affect his decision to become a hero instead of villain as he was before? And what happens to Dryad when she finds out this abrasive, crude, and violent man that she has come to see as her brother, is not her brother, how does she react then? 1)How would you have the character react? 2)What sorts of similar things have you done to the characters to al…

I'm brainstorming an idea for a villain team. They have a spider-based team emblem, web-motif uniforms, and they all have Spider-like names ... however, none of them really have spider-like powers, which is the trick. So far, I have ... Daddy Longlegs -- Stretching, only in the legs. Spinnerette -- Spinning speedster (a la Marvel's Whirlwind) Trapdoor -- Teleporter Can anybody think of any other good names on this motif, that both relate to spiders and relate to another power concept?

Hi, I have a developing superteen game that I am running presently set in San Fransisco. I started it from the very beginning, where the PC's first got thier powers and have just now after about two months of playing they have just came up with codenames and a name for thier team, The Citizen League. One thing they haven't come up with is a base of operations and a team vehicle. So I was wondering if you other players could toss out some of your campaign's vehicle and base write-ups for inspiration. I think it would be fun.

For a new Champs game I'm starting. The team has a bunch of scrappers, but no brick -- though they all agreed they needed one, no one wanted to play one. So I came up with a "GMPC" to round out the team. Comments/feedback welcome. We're playing new UNITY members in a modified CU. Thanks! Bill. EDIT: Added .doc file for those w/o herodesigner.
