I read this last month, and now I seriously want to make a Dark Champions game out of it! Corporate espionage, guerrilla wars, boardroom politics, media manipulation and road rage... looks like an excellent choice for Seared Champions! (see my sig)

Hi! Homeless people are vanishing and the culprits are a devil-worshipper in need of victims for a human sacrifice and a scientist who needs test subjects. They don't know each other and are in no way connected. The scientist is probably paying someone working at a homeless shelter to choose suitable victims and has them abducted by criminals or a street gang. I don't know yet how the devil-worshipper finds his victims. What clues will lead the PCs to both criminals? Thanks for your input!

'Ello Heroes! So, after a long absence from GM'ing, I am running a Dark Champions Game. Well it is really a modern, low power Champs game with... Aw heck it is a big old smorgage board of game elements. Anywho, I have not run, and hence written, anything long enough that my old links and sources are now dead and defunked. I am looking for a map of a secret, underground military base with high tech labs and junk. I could do it myself, but invariably I miss something like bathrooms and I get caught with my pants down. Something no GM likes. I was hoping someone out there might now a good source for modern maps and floor plans I could use in general,…

While I was outfitting some gangers from the HSEG, I noticed the sawed off shotgun. It's an Autofire 2 Area of Effect 16m Cone +1 Stun Multiple No Range Reduced by Range Reduced Penetration 2.5d6 RKA. While the autofire 2 makes sense since it's a double barreled shotgun, I'm wondering if the conic part might be too much from a gameplay or realism standpoint. Basically it means that out from 8m, it's a 2.5d6 RKA. Out to 16m, it's a 2d6+1 RKA. This seems high for the amount of area that is covered. If you had 8-16 guys (depending on the size of your hex) standing next to each other 16m away you'll hit all of them with a 2d6+1 RKA. This seems a tad much for a …

I figure this is the best place to ask. In the 80s TV shows and movies showed gangsters, drug dealers, and assorted powerful criminal types lounging around a pool with a dozen or so women in bikinis sunning themselves, swimming, and lounging around. So who hired them? Was there an application? Do they get a salary with benefits? Was there a sheet on the bulletin board at a strip club? "Wanted, attractive women 18-24 to sit around pool and make boss feel important despite being on his 3rd by-pass surgery and needing heart medication. Non-disclosure agreement mandatory. Good pay. Dental and cosmetic surgery covered. No law enforcement or brunettes. Equal Opportunity Em…

This is an idea inspired by a proposed Fantasy HERO magic system, Spirit of the Century, and a little bit by Mutants & Masterminds. Basically, what if Super Skills that require Skill Rolls could be performed as functions of appropriate, corresponding Skills at the appropriate penalties? The obvious problem is that it would undercut those that it removes most incentive to actually buy Super Skills. I think that I have some solutions to that natural result. 1) Each attempt at a Super Skill "Stunt" costs 1 Herioc Action Point (or more perhaps). 2) As the Super Skills become functions of particular Skills, they are made at the appropriate penalty based o…

There is a "400" club in pro football, for the elite who can bench press that many pounds. Of course STR 15 is 110% of that. Most real life martial artists can't bench press 400 pounds, let alone 440. I don't consider martial arts being cited in your Background as sufficient to explain world class strength per se, though an internal style is a good start... It would be funny to have a Power Build like this- +15 STR only vs. those with inadequate written explanation of their world class (15+) STR. What would that Limitation be worth in your Hero System game?

Wishing to run an adventure in the world of illegal free fight, i need your advice about MMA's martial maneuver. At first i was thinking about mixing thai jiujitsu wrestling... but if it was true that at the beginning MMA was an open style combat sport, now all the fighter seem to be well rounded... so, any suggestion for a MMA's package deal?

Adventure / Character Seed Shortly after he died, [Genghis] Khan’s surviving commanders ordered a group of 50 particularly battle-hardened families, collectively known as the Uryangqai of the Woods, to occupy this land [part of northern Mongolia’s Hentiy Province, an area known as the Ikh Khorig, which translates literally as the “great taboo” but is referred to by outsiders as the “Forbidden Zone”], kill any trespassers, making exceptions only for the funeral processions of the Khan’s direct descendants, who were allowed to be buried there. Unsurprisingly, this fierce degree of secrecy has led many to surmise that the body of Genghis Khan himself resides somewhere i…

Kodachi OCV+1 1d6+1K Notes: +2 Block A kodachi (小太刀 or こだち?), literally translating into "small or short tachi (sword)", is a Japanese sword that is too short to be considered a long sword but too long to be a dagger. Since this sword was only about 70 cm (28 inches) in length, it did not exceed the blade length limits of non-samurai during the Edo period and could be worn by merchants. A kodachi's length is similar to that of the wakizashi, and though the blades differ greatly in construction, the kodachi and the wakizashi are similar enough in size and technique that the terms are sometimes (mis)used interchangeably. While the kodachi was a set length, the wakiza…

I finally was able to watch "The Cape" on my TIVO, and I enjoyed the pilot. I have hopes for this series, and I wondered what others thought of it.

Steve, are there any plans of continuing the Dark Champions line into 6th edition and if so, will we ever actually get any of the story on who the HOJ is and what prompted his war on crime? I know he was originally a Champs character you played ongoing for years so what was his actual story- it would be nice to get a pek behind the curtain and see what Oz really looks like, so to speak.

Panic Room Gallery Saw this posted on another message board and thought I'd pass it along--someplace for your spies or urban crimefighters to hide themselves or their gear; or in real life, a cool place to have your gaming or computer room, or conceal your weapons, forbidden writings or other valuables. I admit there are scant details on each room, but the pictures themselves should spark some active imaginations. Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever done a skill based on criminal profiling for Dark Champions? I have been watching Criminal Minds and have been picking up details on what could be used for a Profiling as a Science skill in the Psychology branch. I would make it up as a pseudo science since I am sure that we will not have or want to have all the details to make it totally accurate but could be a great way to create clues and info for the crimefighters. Has anyone done anything on this? I am compiling a list and might create an article on this.
