Can you spread an autofire attack? I have a ninja character in a dark champions campaign that can autofire 5x shurikens. What I'd like to do is represent filling the hex, or getting a +3 to OCV and only a max of 2 hits. I've never liked the idea that if I pop off a burst fire, my chances of hitting once is no better than a single shot. Is there a rule I'm over looking?

I am starting up a star hero low powered (150) game and well I am having some trouble with the weapons/equipment part. Since this is sappose to be a realistic ( with aliens ) game the players will have to buy their equipment instead of paying character points and stuff. I heard that Dark Champions has some kind of rule for a weapon pool or some such ? Can someone possibly message me with some info on this rule? It sounds like something I could use for my game.

Why the lack of pre-written adventures from Hero games to almost all their titles? Especially Dark Champion, which i was hoping to start a campaign in - since i have quite a lot books from my Hero Fantasy campaign. This really puzzles me, i have seen that Champion do have a lot of adventures while almost all the other products lack adventures. I have been a gamemaster for tons of rpg´s throughout my roleplaying life, and always preferred to write my own adventures... however now i have limited time and would like pre-written adventures and sees that their none. And i dont feel for gamemastering Champions, since i dont feel comfortable gamemastering superhero …

First My Players STAY OUT! I'm planning to introduce Black Harlequin into my Dark Champions campagin. He will be making his big debut on April 1st with a series of cruel (maiming, injury, some lethality) "practical jokes" pulled on seemingly random citizens of Hudson City. But, at the moment, I'm drawing a blank and I could use some suggestions. The setting allows for some advanced technology but nothing overtly supertech.

No, these are not meant to be "realistic" weapons, but are trying to simulate certain source material. Feedback wanted. Chaingun: Found in countless FPS games, chainguns are known for two things -- being able to hose down an area with bullets and for drinking ammunition like it was water. In truth, the weapons labeled as “chainguns” in almost all FPS games aren’t a chain-driven guns at all, but multi-barreled mini-guns, similar to the one seen in the movie Predator. While not the best weapon for well-armored targets, they are perfect for cleaning out squads of grunt-level opponents. This version uses the Reduced Penetration Limitation, coupled with a high rate of …

Yeah, the one from Kill Bill 1 and 2. Anyone have it written up? Do you consider it exceptional to other swords?

I ran across this site while looking for some data, I thought it makes a pretty good reference for running a game in a country other than your own. I thought this was the most likely forum for interest in this. Lots of details including the national anthem, monetary system, political system, population distribution etc. http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/

I was browsing through the forums for the Serenity RPG, and I came across this player resource: guns printed on business card stock. It seems an easy way to keep track of weapons on hand or in an armory as well as ammo. Has anyone done something like this for Hero System weapons?

8 people try to find out if they have what it takes to become a spy in this series from BBC Three. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/spy/ I just got my hands on the series and viewed the first episode. I like it. It is interesting to see how ordinary people romanticize the spy trade.Then they get dragged out of their beds and sent through about 8 hours of interrogation. Sorry, if this has already been posted.

Hi everyone, sorry i haven't posted in awhile... been busy with school, a new house, upcomming nupitals and such and havnt got those dang pictures posted yet of our DC game. I promise to get some pics soon... i wanna show a modified version of vehicle combat in DC thats fast and easy. now let me show you whats going on in my campaign.... In my DC game run in hudson City, I was bandying around a few ideas with the players on where to take it... go total goth, an animated series, pulp... but since our regular gaming group can be as little as 3 to 10 at a single sitting... devleloping plot lines can be a pain. But something came as a joke that worked out as a stroke of g…

Hi, I'm sure it's around but I didn't see it and it's hard to search on words like this (to me, anyway) - would anyone familiar please elaborate on the differences between 4th and 5th Dark Champions? I'm not interested in better/worse, just the primary differences and in particular reasons that one might still pick up 4th edition Dark Champions. Apologies for covering ground I'm sure has been covered before.

but I've played/run Champions since 1984 (yes, I'm buffing my liver spots and only my hair dresser knows for sure--heck, he's the best source of gossip in this 1-bit town). Weylan, my spouse, posted a bit about the new campaign I'm starting over on the Champions thread (Powers classification or something like that), and though I don't frequent many game-related boards (lack of time, not interest), I thought I might try it out. LSS: I'm attaching the backstory of our campaign, and I would appreciate feedback. I'm more than willing to give it in return. We've played one game, wherein the two players met and made contact with a couple of key NPCs. I'll have a 3rd …

I was wondering if someone here could give me a bit of detailed information on this product: Hudson City Blues, SKU: HER438. It is an old edition book that Hero Games still has listed in their online store, but there is no description. I am trying to decide whether or not it's worth purchasing based on what it might contain in the way of campaign ideas that could be transposed over to 5th. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does anybody know where I can find a list of the most commonly encountered guns. I am looking for lists that tell what guns are commonly used by street gangs. Another good list to find would be what the most common (in terms of numbers sold) guns in the US. I have been googling for this but I haven't had much luck.

Stop me if you've seen this one before. Sure, he's using low-powered shot, but that's still amazing shooting, and an amazing weapon. Now, what do you need to simulate that in DC? (There are no rules for recoil, but surely that should give some bonus; also, the shooting skill -- just how many CSLs and PSLs is that, and how are they limited?)

I'm exploring having a power similar to the World of Darkness background "Arcane": "A mystick with a high Arcane may simply "slide away" from view and memory or appear to ordinary to notice. This ability is not invisibility per se and does not conceal a sorceror during combat. If someonw searches for the mage, however, they'll find it a frustrating experience. Somehow, things just happen to cover their quarry's tracks: cameras malfunction, sources disagree, and clues the investigator just knew were in that file no longer exist. " Anybody have an ideas?

I'm looking at possibly doing a campaign on Hero Central for Dark Champions that explores a somewhat unusual subgenre. It is a particularily grim look at the "Toon Noir" genre created by Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Disney's Bonkers. By "Grim Look," I mean that this is going to be for mature audiences and not be about corny jokes or silly slapstick like the Disney series cited in the source material. Setting: Modern day, in the fictional city of Jonestown, California; an algamation of elements from a number of large cities. There are Humans and living cartoons, called "toons." Tone: Much darker than the source material, this game is definitely for mature gam…

http://www.jefflew.com/anim.html The Killer Bean 2 is a short CGI film in which a coffee bean gets into a gunfight with a group of beans who won't turn the music down at their party. While not exactly the greatest in terms of plot (or dialogue), it is notable for the gunfight stunts used. The Feng Shui list loved this short, due to all the ideas one could crib for Killer archetypes. So, I offer the link here for all of you DC gunfighters to take a look at. Note -- the film is around 65-89 MB, depending on the version you download.

I was wondering if any other GMs had built a "cranial jack", the prototypical cybernetic implant that allows future computer users to plug a cyberdeck directly into their head, a la William Gibson. I've seen one build that used the 5 point Perk "Computer Link", but to my mind, this is quite a stretch. The Computer Link description states "A character can buy Computer Link to reflect the fact that he has permanent access to [heavily restricted] databases." Although the Perk's name certainly sounds apropos, the perk's actual benefits are very different, as the brainjack has no real relationship to secure or hard to access databases, per se. Since the brainjack is…

When I first saw the thread on the Death Note, I thought it was going to be about a noise of certain frequency and intensity sufficient to cause death. While that may be fearsome, indeed, there is the oft maligned, but just as deadly Brown Note. For those of you who don't know, the Brown Note is a legendary tone that when played causes the person hearing it to release his bowels, causing a brown stain in their underpants. The Mythbusters even dedicated a show to it and were unable to reproduce the legendary results. As an aging raver/clubber and current volunteer EMT I have first-hand knowledge that there is some sort of phenomenon that, given the correct circ…
