The launch of the Philippine superheroine DARNA's latest comic book took place last weekend. Here's a picture of the model in full costume. You can find more pics of the event at http://sagingkomiks.bravepages.com/darna/launch.htm Brief Background: Very similar to the Billy Batson / Captain Marvel origin. A young girl (about 6) named Narda makes a living singing songs with her younger brother Ding, while their guardian / grandmother mends clothes. One night, a comet falls to Earth... Narda finds a small stone with the word "Darna" written on it. Curious and intrigued, she takes it home. Along the way, she spies some boys who regularly tease her. Sca…

I am curently stuck on names of two supervillian teams I have created. Team One: A group of five mutants (so far) operating out of the Ortaga Insitute For Higher Learning. Curently going by the name "Ortaga Insuitute" in my notes. The members: 1) Headmaster: Headmaster of the school, and a mutant mentlist of moderat power. Dosen't acualy go on missions, but uses his mental powers to check up on his students. 2) Forcer: The team leader of the group. Able to fire beams of force, and also able to create a force construct (Summin). 3) Hexen: Proability manipulator who thinks she knows magic (and only plays along with this 'mutant' stuff, even thoe sh…

A question for any budding geneticists (or fully fledged ones for that matter..). If I remember my rudimentary genetics info from High School biology (and that is much farther back in my history than I care to remember...) Females are XX and Males are XY. Does anyone know of the existence of a YY chromosome out there? I believe there may be a couple of genetic disorders in which the patient may have an extra chromosome (as in XYY) or some such, but I've no idea what that entails for the "fortunate" individual. The reason for the curiosity is that there is a character concept in which the character is dubbed "The First Man" who genetically is YY. I just wondered …

I'm starting a new Champions campaign on Tuesday, and I would like peoples opinion of the campaign timeline. The timeline is designed to do two things. 1. Move the Champions out of Millennium City. I want to use Millennium City when it comes out and I want the group to be the main heros in the city. I still wanted to keep the Champions in the campaign universe. 2. I wanted to set things up for the first adventure. Think Fantastic Four meets Star Hero . Can't tell you more since one of the players is a member of the Hero Boards. Thanks, Mike Campaign Timeline • Jan 2000 – Millennium Project completed, city re-opened. • Spring 2000: Defender moves…

I'd like to see a data base of Player campaigns and thought this might be a way to start one up. Where is your campaign based? The Wild Hunt operates out of San Francisco with a secondary team in Seattle.

Our local group of gamers has become lazy. We either only role-play online by Play-By-Post or we don't role-play at all. Well, little do they know that is changing. I've decided to start a 250-pt Superhero Campaign. The world is vaguely X-Men like. Superheroes are gene-related mutants. Today during my 16 hours at work I will create a superhero group and the concepts behind at least one supervillian. I'll probably have it start out with no laws protecting mutants but one passes early on that 'protects' them much like other protected classes. The hunteds will come from groups that hate mutants and the supervillian groups also. I'll have my wife's charac…

So I scoured these forums as best I could trying to find all the posts that listed sites that had free cardboard heroes, but I'm thinking there must be more out there. So, anyone out there have some suggestions as to where to get more cardboard heroes?

A character has an Elemental Control with a linked slot in it. And as the FRED rules book states, two powers that are linked must be in the same slot. Ok, lets say a character has an Energy Blast and a flash (where the EB is the "larger" power and flash the "smaller" one, so flash gets the linked limitation). Lets say the character got the charges limitation (8 charges each or whatever) with both those powers. If the EB runs out of charges, can he still use the smaller power (which in this case is the flash)?

I'm trying to figure out how to load little, autonomous sensor drones into a vehicle. Basically, they are little balls that fly around for recon and transmit data back to the character or the vehicle's computer. Now, I was originally going to use Clairsentience, but I wanted 1) multiple drones and 2) senses on the drones not on the vehicle. So my next idea was Duplication on the vehicle. Vehicles however, get jack for being "tiny." Since they are always tiny, Shrinking Always On seems an option, but that seems against current design philosophies. Also, it would require additional computers to run them... since they're duplicates, who pays for the computers? The …

Here is a spreadsheet I was working on. Tell me what you think I should have done with it. Extra special thanks to Fuzzy Gnome for all his help with the formulas. Only thing is you can't use duplicate DEX values but you should decied who you want to act before another character with the same dex and add a decimal to their value (ex. 23 and 23.1)

So, I'm still working on a character sheet for bricks which would, among other things auto-generate a list of factoids about the brick's STR. He can deadlift X tons, benchpress .4x tons, his casual STR is Y, he has the STR of # men, etc. So what's holding me up is weight equivalents (i.e., 100kg is one man, 600kg is a large horse, etc.). I've been doing hours of research into what different things weigh. I've also included things besides vehicles to add a little flavor (i.e., dinosaurs, whales, a space shuttle, etc.). These are also things we tend to wind up lifting in Champs games. But I'm rapidly running out of ideas, and my STR chart is not even complete (see…

Danger sense "Only vs sentient beings" "Only vs danger intentionally directed at character" So, if you zero in on the character with a sniper rifle... buzzzzz If there's a bomb under your seat in a movie theatre... nothing. If you knock a building over to kill him... buzzzz If you knock a build over to kill the guy standing next to him... nothing. If there's a cave-in... nothing If you cause a cave in to hurt him... buzzz That sort of thing. I was only valuing it at -1/2, but it might be worth more than that. Whatcha think?

Hiya! I'd like input on the following scenario: I have a PC who has electrical powers which draw Endurance from a fairly massive END Reserve. He wants to take a side effect -- a major side effect. Basically, it goes like this: if his electrical Multipower is dispelled, he releases all the remaining Endurance in his END Reserve in an explosion. Yes, yes, I know it sounds a little twinky, but in the context of the character, it makes sense. Here's how I was thinking of building it: Side Effect - extreme -1, affects character and environment -1/4, side effect always occurs when a specific act is performed +1/4 Now, here's my problem...the guy's …
