I had this idea of creating package deals out of various Action Actors. The idea is that you can take any character and add this particular Package Deal to simulate that character if they were played by that actor in a movie. Example: A GM decides that Arnold should play the Harbinger of Justice, so he add's Arnie's package deal to the HoJ:eek: and now it's Arnold as the HoJ. Later on after that campaign, another GM decides that he prefers if Bruce Lee plays the HoJ:eek:, and inserts that package deal instead. The idea of an Actor Package Deal is that it boils down an actor's roles to the perceivable patterns in all of their movies, and leaves out a…

How would you build a character (normal human) for a Special Forces group (or Navy Seals). What skills, martial arts, etc... I'm trying to build one, but I don't really have a military background to know what skills they are trained with and what not.

I've been tossing around the idea of running a DC campaign in my gaming group. A few months ago I posted a campaign history for group review. I don't think it went over well. After the Civil War the rules for how the federal government was run and presidential elections were rewritten. The end result was a smaller federal government that did less but what they did do they did well. Also with a less powerful federal government, there wasn't as much patriotism or national identity. (Historically a strong central government did more to unify a nation than a weak one.) People's loyalty was focused locally. For example when Katrina hit New Orleans people in Maine or Oregon wer…

The question and Steve Long's reply below make me want to open this up for discussion. What would you use as the DCV of a military E target? ____________________________________________________________ Yansuf DCV of stationary object This is referring to ranged attacks only. If an inanimate object is stationary, it would seem that its DCV should be based on its size. But if a hex (non-adjacent) has DCV of 3, it would seem a manikin should have a higher DCV. How should we compute the DCV of, say, a standard military E target? (For those not familiar with it, it represents (and is the size of) a kneeling man.) Thank you. Feb 14th, '08, 01:57 AM …

I am planning to run a Dark Champions game where the characters will be Police officers with limited metahuman powers. For various reasons I am going to run this set in an American city but as I am not an American there are a few questions I would appreciate the opionion of list members on. 1. What sort of Body armour would a detective wear on plain clothes duty? 2. Are there any restrictions on the sort of ammunition police officers are allowed to use ? Could they get into trouble for using none standard ammunition in shooting. …

Dark Champions Resource Pool Sheet and HERO Record

I'm sure people have made things like this in the past. I have, alas, gained and lost things like this over the years. Last year I almost lost both of these, and many more besides. I'm hoping people here can use them as well. The Dark Champions Resource Pool Sheet is only two pages but you could copy it out as many times as you like. The weapons and armor sections are pretty straightforward but a version two of this sheet I may deisgn may fold the "extras" section for weapons and eq into their relevent sections. The vehicles and bases have sections you can underline or circle to note that are just the regular vehicle or a safe house (using the safe house…

Slave logging camps in Burma

An adventure really. I came across an article in one of the magazines they send to our store about China importing lumber to process from surrounding areas. The article (linked too) talked about "abuse of forest communities" "human right abuses" which sounds an awful lot like conscript labor. That and how money from illegal timber was funneled into military dictatorships like Burma. It would provide an interesting change from bruning opium fields. If anyone runs any type of covert/overt action teams and needs a good local. Especially if it does intermingle with the opium trade. I think for those who saw Rambo 4 and liked it enough to craft a jungle adventur…

This is for my Bat Team campaign. She's the third cat burglar to be known as Catwoman. Unlike the others, she didn't give herself the name. Instead, the police and press gave it to her when a victim commented "she moved like a cat". She's a metahuman whose agility, sense of balance, sight, and hearing are greatly enhanced. Her garb is typical of cat burglars, a black turtleneck sweater, jeans, running shoes and socks, leather gloves, ski mask, and jacket. Her gear varies from job to job, but some of it is the same (a multipower and a variable power pool). Since she has a 20-point code vs killing, she uses only non-lethal weapons. Additionally…

Still Bat-ty 1 2

I admit it. I'm batty. Batman was pursuing Joker when an explosion occurred. The Dark Knight was thrown back onto some metal rods, which pierced his heart. He was pronounced dead, at the scene, by a doctor, who then unmasked him, revealing that Batman was Bruce Wayne. In Wayne Manor, Alfred watched the news in shock before remembering that he had to retrieve the Batmobile (the Tumbler), secure the Batcave and switch the phone lines to a monitoring system that had been installed for just this purpose. When Bruce's will was read, there were provisions for funding, through the Wayne Foundation, a superhero team, based in Wayne Manor and the Batcave,…

Hello, friends... breaking my trend to talk equipment in here, I thought I'd tap into the creative set round these parts. I've been playing in a very wide monster hunterstyle game which made me realize what that title means and I a.m suddenly full of imagery from movies and comics and my brain. I cannot draw worth poo, but I can at least communicate a bit. Very common images: liquid fire in varying colors from a variety of sources, lots of shadow with contrasting light, gothic feel, and a mixture of modern and archaic technology. Specific images: English broadsword held horizontally while drenched in liquid fire in the hand of a dark figure in a trenchcoat over archa…

Hi. I'm new to the system and I wanted to start a new dark champions: the animated series campaign, with 250-point superhero characters. However, I'm not quite sure about what limits to enforce during character creation. There are some suggestions in the sourcebook (like no more than 10 PD(6 rPD)) but I was wondering what you guys thought. What works for you? I mean, if a combat oriented superhero brick is less resistant to damage than people with a bulletproof jacket, won't he want to wear a bulletproof jacket regularly? He has the strength to carry it without penalties... How would I justify his not being able to purchase it as a power? So, what limits do you …
