For those interested, one of the few VIPER reviews to date was recently published recently at the link below. http://www.gamingreport.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=797 An excerpt: " ...VIPER doesn't waste any time on gravy; it just keeps on spooning out the main course like a grandmother who hasn't seen her grandkids since last Christmas, swearing the whole time that they're too skinny."

So your party brick dives off an atmospheric platform Does anyone know how much damage a fall from orbit would be? Just a corny question - but what if a brick literally stepped off an atmospheric platform and plummetted straight to earth and smacked into the ground - say Kansas - something nice and flat? Physics anyone?

Wildguard: Casting Call Wildguard! Its fun and the menagorie of superheroes they have come up with is just cool. Sure its played for laughs but it is one of the more refreshing, light hearted and entertaining books I have read. I am drooling at the prospect of writing some of these heroes up. The concept reminds me of the Avengers Experimental Franchise campaign idea from the old Marvel Superheroes Game.

With all the new hype and interest in the San Angelo line, I wanted to pick your brains and get some feedback. A while ago I ran a poll asking who had heard of San Angelo and who was using it. What I would like to know is: [*]For those of you who use it, why? [*]For those of you that own, but don't play in the world, why? [*]For those of you that looked at, but decided it wasn't for you, why? [*]For those of you that haven't seen it, are you going to look into it now, and why? [*]For those of you that have no interest in looking at it or using it, why? [/list=1] Feel free to be as brief or detailed as you want. Again, if you would rather not post publi…

Out of curiosity, did anyoine else ever buy/use this, or was I the only one? Cause man, but did I ever love this book. I especially remember the subplot we wound up using, where Stephen Harrington (wealthy philanthropist who sold his soul to the devil) tried getting some magical gewgaw away from us. It all wound up with a guy who we'd actually /liked/ turning into a supervillain (Hell Rider, if I remember the name right). And of course there was Iggy the jerkwad vampire (we used Stalker and his spawn quite a bit). While on the topic of normals, may I ask just what is this 'bluebooking' I keep hearing about?

Hi all, Sometimes I write faux newspapers clips as handouts for my group. I'd like to have a fictional discussion board for a change. Would you pleeease help me? I'll write a few facts about my current group's first public appearance, and I'd like HERO posters to comment on that - from an in-game point of view, of course. Just pretend you're posting on Champions Universe's fictional "Hero_Talk.com". You can even write from your favourite character's point of view, of course. They're new to the genre and, as you'll see, caused a bit of a mess. Here's the facts: - Last night residents of Millenium City woke to the sound of gunfire. A fight betwe…

We've been talking about telepaths in another thread, and I was wondering who does and does not allow telepaths in their game? Have you had problems with players abusing the game you were running, or messing with OTHER player's characters?

Hey Guys, I have set up this site for my Superhero Game. I like to get continuing opinions on the content. It is set up to be the database of their base's computer. I have set up the following: 1) Database of Teams and the personnel in them 2) Techincal Files 3) History of the World 4) General Game Information (i.e. Character Creation Stuff, etc). 5) Finally, a news paper from the world. I alter real news stories to fit. to fit and throw in clues for the coming adventure. For example, the recent bombings in Turkey was done by a super human. It gives hints of possible coming adventures and such. Let me know what you think, Jonath…

I already know that VOICE is gone from the new Champions Universe, and I'm given to understand that the same is true of the Gweenies... but what about COIL? Was there some intellectual licensing problem with this mainstay of the old CU? Or was the decision to omit them (gasp) artistic? Or have King Cobra and his organization simply not been mentioned yet out of some devious scheme to reintroduce them later?

We came, we saw, we most likely mangled the rules, but a champs session was had this last Friday night at the casa de TKD. In an effort to get more familiar with the combat system specifically and the overall feel of the game in general I got together a majority of my group for a night of fun filled beatings on bad guys. I ended up just using the Return of the Destroyer "adventure" in the back of CU so that there could be at least a little storyline, and excuse to make skill rolls, for the evening. I had most everyone just play an NPC super for the evening since nobody has completed characters yet. Onto the group: Henry - My long time best friend and regular …

On the cities thread I stumbled across an idea I thought I'd toss out for those who might be skipping that thread. Universities and their impact on the superhero community. Obviously, universities are a major breeding ground for superheroes, or have the potential to be that. EEs who have too much coffee and not enough common sense building high tech nightmares. All these archeology students sorting through mystic relics. And of course the inevitable accidents in the physics, chemistry and biology departments. Sometimes these folks can have very destructive origins. Likewise, these places are attractive targets for supervillains for the same reasons that they are…

Okay, so there's one thread in my game that is dangling that I want to get rid of, but I know it has to be a "good" ending because the PC is royally pissed at the offending party (Fox Force Five!!!!). On the other hand, well...other stuff is going on. So suddenly it all came to me today, in the wee wee hours, a beautiful combination of this thread and another! MWA HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! It's a wonderful thing. I can't give details yet because lemming is here, and others may lurk. So for now I can just tease. But feel free, please to tell of when you married 2 threads together into a beautiful intertwined whole!

Having recently started what bids fair to be a vigorous thread concerning the old _Normals Unbound_, I'm curious. Which other of the older (4th ed.) books do you folks enjoy? Myself, I've always had a warm spot for _Kingdom of Champions_ and _Horror Enemies_. Especially Kingdom, as there's been so many badly-done English heroes in the comics over the years, it was a joy to see something *new* done with them. And _Horror Enemies_, well... they were just cool. Especially the Manitous and the Hell-Raisers, probably my all-time favorite magical Champs villains. Any of you have any favorites?

Had a great incident last night playing. Because we have a super-human level sleuth/infiltrator (something like 138 INT now - yes, that's 1 3 and an 8), I wanted to ensure he had a good challenge, as well as the fact that the organization the team was going up against was ABC wanted to demonstrate their amazing power. So, without too much thought, as I slapped together their base, I made them have an AI computer with great power. It directs all non-personnel operations of the base and even taps into ABC's business computers. I ensured it had incredible skills to match and actually slightly exceed Laughton's (and his teammate Troll with similar INT though different…

Last night's game was... I had not laughed that much in weeks. Allow me to explain. Background: The PCs have been dealing wiht a professor who's doing dimensional rifts research. He created a machine to basicly swap something in our dimension with something in another; basicly pulling it through a tiny dimensional rift he parts. Well... Foxbat stole it. To bring several of those alternate versions of whatever is hit with the device's beam, a refraction of multiple beams is needed: Namely, a really large faceted thing. So Foxbat goes to steal the Cubic Zerconium on display at Millennium Mall, which just so happens to be on display the next day (Yes, this is the …

Hi all, Kind of an odd question, but does anyone remember just which books had werewolf characters in them? The only ones I can remember are Loup Garoux (from Classic Organizations) and Black Claw (from Horror Enemies -- great book, too). Have there ever been any other werewolf characters in 'official' Champs material?

Hello Darren Watts , I know your already working hard on another project , but I was curious as to how DEMON was shaping up . How about some clues . I never really used DEMON as anything other than a Mystic version of VIPER and even then rarely ( mind you DEMON's threat levels were always higher ... hmmm ) What do we have to look forward too ? QM

ok, I'm runnning a playbyweb campaign, I have one PCwhose player likes seeing her in helpless situations like being grabbed and entangled and captured (the PC loses most of her powers when grabbed or entangled) but here's the problem, since it is a PBW campaign it is possible we wouldn't resolve he being freed till over a week has passed. plus since i don't like doing that to characters much anyway, I need Ideas since, the group mainly stays together most of the time and don't know why the enemy would capture the Character anyway... so could the Herodom help give me some Ideas to use?
