Is there any interest in a play-by-post campaign set in Gotham City in the Champions Universe? In this version, Gotham City is in Ocean County, New Jersey, just south of Toms River, New Jersey and is the county seat. Batman will not always be there and Batgirl will, sometimes, be working on her own case. The others that spend time in the Batcave are Alfred and Batman's engineer (and Bruce's handywoman) Bonnie Knight.

Batman's home town is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Wayne Manor and the Batcave are in the Pittsburgh suburb of Fox Chapel. If run by me, the campaign would be play by post.

People often dress as superheroes and villains at comic book conventions. Coyote the Trickster gifted a number of people the skills of the characters they were costumed as and watched the fun.

I'm wondering if Batman and his associates would work well in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I was going to make a big post with lots of pictures, but decided that it was a huge pain in the butt to find all that stuff. So I yoinked a couple and I'll put them here, expecting others to do the same. Criteria for this is that the gun is a bit different. Anyone can go and look up the military weapons of various eras that have been in use for some time. I'd like to see some of the different ones, though it doesn't have to be crazy. So, for my entry, I present two iterations of the S&W .500 Magnum X-Frame revolver. One is a full-on snubby, and one is a 4" barreled snubby. This is basically a big bore old-school style round for a revolver that really belong…

Where would Gotham City be in the Champions Universe? My guess is near Toms River, New Jersey.

From The Economist (7-22-23), a report on "Iran's Bizarre Contraband": Would you believe ...piano smuggling? https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/07/20/how-well-connected-iranians-import-their-goodies Possibly of use in your Danger International/Dark Champions espionage campaign. Not that your heroes are trying to crack an international piano-smuggling ring, but it might be used as cover to smuggle other things. Maybe even a way for the heroes to smuggle *themselves* into Iran. Dean Shomshak

I have to admit, as a GM, I got nothin'. But this is the sort of driving I could see as an escape from a bad situation in Dark CHamp[ions, or Danger International. I don't think the Hero rules for vehicles are all that good. Autoduel CHampions may work better, though?

I ran across this discussion of how fiber cables can be used for seismic monitoring. Those folks are interested in actual geology, but an adequately sensitive and discriminatory microquake seismic system has long been in my toolbox of super-tech anti-intrusion systems.

In the comics, the Batman can self-fund his relentless war on crime thanks to Bruce Wayne’s inherited billions. Peter Parker sells pictures of his masked vigilante activities to pay for his crimefighting expenses. On the other end of the spectrum from Bruce Wayne, the Punisher will blow away drug dealers and other lowlifes before walking out with one or more satchel bags full of cash, repeating as necessary whenever he needs to buy more equipment. How does your character fund their war on crime?

Saw some articles indicating that the US is supplying Switchblade kamikaze drones to Ukraine: AeroVironment Switchblade - Wikipedia The 300 has a warhead equivalent to a 40mm grenade. The 600 has an anti-tank warhead comparable to a Javelin ATGM. So throw those values in, write up a vehicle with the stated speed/range characteristics and guidance systems, maybe up the DCV to represent how difficult it is to intercept, and you've got a HERO System writeup! 😃

E-Wars

E-Sports are quite popular; they even have their own section on the msn.com homepage. That popularity, combined with the current fighting in Ukraine and some Cyberpunk ideas, produced the following RPG idea today (warning: this can get really dark really fast). E-Wars Imagine today or the near future, but with a neural implant and software that allows a remote ‘Gamer’ to control another person through that implant. The person with the implant must give over control (“HotShot357 is requesting control. Accept?”) and can resume control (with some difficulty). This is used willingly by ordinary people to be more effective in local conflicts, mostly…

This was supposed to be a complete book, but I didn't have the oomph to finish it (yet) so I post it here for review/feedback. I love the WW2 setting so that became the emphasis for this. Could be any setting, really. Skirmish HERO.pdf

I used to, and it had both advantages and disadvantages - for example the Champions characters had to play by Dark Champions when visiting. What are your experiences?

In worlds with only super-skills and gadgets and no real superpowers, would a prison in a Dark Champions universe be much different than the real world? Is there any information on Dark Champions prisons other than what is in the Hudson City sourcebook?

So I got to thinking about my figure collection and Hero System. Naturally I want to use my figs as much as possible, so I thought up a game of super-powered airborne infantry invading France in 1944. The characters will be under 5th ed. revised, 250-300 points worth of superpowered individuals, but with human weaknesses to bullets, strangulation and other "natural" means of dying. Think of the Godlike RPG when imagining characters. So the player characters drop into Normandy in the first session, and have to link up with their HQ. Combats will be handled with miniatures on terrain, and other stuff will be ToTM. I will be designing the characters for t…
