There are times I hate being a movie critic for one of the local radio stations, and sometimes I love it to death. This is one of the love it to death moments. See this movie, guys. Its worth the time and money. Robert Rodriguez is genius for putting this film together. It quite honestly looks like he filmed the comic book, right off the page.

Over in the Pulp Hero section, I've been posting some of the early Vincent and HRD motorbikes (and cheated a little by including the awesome Vincent Black Lightning, which was produced from 1948 to 1952). But the story doesn't end with the closure of Vincent HRD Motors in 1955. Back in 1991, Californian entrepreneur and biking enthusiast Bernard Li bought the Vincent name and set out to produce a new Vincent machine. He wanted something that had the look and feel of a big powerbike, but a more comfortable riding position. Years of development - and a deal with Honda to supply an engine - have resulted in new prototype machines. Li hopes to have production m…

In the movie unleashed, Jet Li plays Danny, a man who is as meek and quiet as a timid child. Until his trainer takes off his metal collar. Over the years Danny has been the victim of Mental and physical conditioning, such that the removal of his collar turns him into a lethal berserking animal, killing anyone he can get his hands on. How to do this? Limited Stats and powers, all with the "Immediately goes berserk" limitation? Or maybe a multiform? If multiform, would it need to be IPE?

This is Bolan as he was during the Mafia Wars. If he feels up to it perhaps Doug could make whatever changes are needed to show a modern day Bolan and post him below.

Specifically the Mark 1, which had a large .455 caliber round, but a muzzle velocity of 180 meters/second (ca. 600 fps). Thanks.

I had an idea for a villain that would have a gun. The gun has no special effects the bullets do...(ill post the character when I've completed his powers)...alot of damage only to the person who's name is on the bullet...I was thinking of somehow making the bullets a vulnerability to the person...but I dont think that is possilble...So would I have to buy up the damage for the attack? or would he have to buy a transform power to make them vulnerable to the bullet...then fire the bullet?

Has anyone created a gun prefab for HD for the DC gun lists? I did a search and only came up with the prefab in the freebies. Just wondering if this exists and someone would like to give it to me. Yes. I'm lazy.

Just watching the first season of The Shield on DVD(yay me!) and it got me to wondering how cool a game that would be to play, dirty cops that still have some lines they won't cross and real motivation to actually make their 'turf' safe for the people that live there. Then I thought dang, add minor superpowers on top of that and make them a strikeforce that deals with not only normal crime but also low-end meta crimes as well. I was just trying to figure if anyone else thinks this could be a good game idea or are my new meds getting to me already?

Note 1: ‘Realistic’ is in invereted commas, because true realism is impossible to achieve in a tabletop game. Instead, what is being sought here is a realistic feel rather than realism itself. HERO system as standard has a heroic feel; the purpose of these rules modifiers is to alter that basic feel to a more realistic tone. Special note: for me, ‘realism’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘hard’ or ‘deadly’. Some of the ‘realistic’ systems out there are actually quite unrealistic in how easy it is to kill someone. So what I’m aiming for here is a system where you can get shot repeatedly and live; or sometimes, get shot once and die. (Usually by d…

Hi All, I sort of started this thread in the Campaigns thread so I hope you'll be patient if the grammar and context of the qoutes are off a bit. These are the qoutes from the Campaign thread. But I would be interested to hear if anyone else has any view son this subject. Once upon a time... I was running a S&S game(in A,D&D whaich I later, run in Fantasy Hero) in which the players while appreciating the unique world & campaign I had written were busy doing what they allways do. Thieves were... thieving, Priests were politicking, Wizards were ducking, rule-lawyering & glomming,…

I recently got to rent a few episodes of the anime series Lupin III, which ran for about 250 episodes and alos spawned numerous theatrical films (including the legendary Castle of Caglisotro, one of the first feature films directed by Hayao Miyazaki.) As I saw the various capers in the episodes, I thought "This would make a smashing RPG campaign, but it may be hard to handle". The setup: Arsene Lupin III, grandson of Europe's most famous thief, travels the world searching for the bigger and bigger scores, not to mention hot babes. He is assisted in his crimes by Jigen, a master gunfighter, and Goemon, who can cut through anything with his sword and is a deadly martia…

I have been surfing the web for about 20 minutes trying, unsucessfully, to find a good picture of a SWAT trooper in full gear. I want this so I can attach some character for a generic Assault Agent in my Dark Champions Campaign. All the art I have found so far are groups of people, or else they have large Police, etc. symbols on their uniforms. It does not have to be a picture, a good bit of art or cartoon would work just as well. Any body got any good art or links that they would be willing to share?

Our GM is starting a 1930's Dark Champion game. Limits are 125 Character Points plus 100 Disads for a total of 225. I have come up with a concept but not sure I have figured out a good distribution of points. Are there any ready made Reporter/Vigilante type characters on the internet? (A Detective/Vigilante would be the same thing)... I have surfed but only came up with Characters that have super powers and made with way more points. I need something like The Punisher...no powers other than maybe fast healing... HERO Games needs to put out a book with just Character concepts and suggested Character Point distribution... Sure would be handy... …

Herodom Assembled, My strong suite as a GM is being able to write well, but one my areas of improvement is my creativity. Hence, I'm enlisting your help. I'm doing a one-shot game (that could actually run a few evenings if necessary) at GenCon this year for two of my best friends. I'd really like it to turn out well, so that it's memorable for all. I have some background ideas for what I'd like to do, but am hoping that you all can give me some ideas on how to make the story and background better. So here goes: PCs: Probably 125-150 + 50-100 pts in disadvanges (these will be beginning Daredevil and Spidey-like characters, but no EBs, teleporting, etc.) …

With DC:TAS done and off my plate, I've got the chance to get an early start on Predators, our Dark Champions book of bad guys. So, I thought I'd start a brief "what do you want to see?" thread. Generally speaking, it's a book of villains. There'll be a crimelords section, a section of groups/organizations, and a section of "solo" bad guys. As with CKC, there'll be a wide mix of character types. It's all pretty straightforward, but I thought I'd start this thread in case anyone had any ideas they felt like expressing.

I'm looking to start up a Dark Champions game, and I'd like to be able to easily show my players which options we will and won't be using. This includes not only things like Hit Location, but also some of the optional ways to use skills in DC. I recall back in the fourth edition that there was a sheet that had the various levels of morality, the darkness of the game, etc - as well as a list of options. Is there one for fifth? And more importantly, is there one that encompasses the variety of optional rules for DC? Thank you...!
