This is a campeign Idea I am working on for a Dark Champions* campeign. All the characters live and operate in "Macob City" (The city name is a place holder). It is a dark city full of corupt cops and politicians, insane villains, etc... The main city hero was "The Fox", until he is injured in battle and crippled. The Fox does not give up however and uses his great resources to fund a group of lesser heroes (Going so far to recruit some to the cape & Cowl) to keep his city safe. The characters are given a "Fox Den" (a base, I see an old warehouse right now, out on the docks), some Fox-Cycles (Motorcycles, non-combat but a couple improvements like a gps lo…

A friend suggested cross-posting these to the dark champion forum. Bth would need tweaks to fit into a high powered DC campaign; I'll suggest some after the posts. The easiest way to work The Lion into a DC campaign is to drop his Kai attak MP, and then reduce his Dex to a bit under campaign max and his SPD to 4. If you still need to save points or downpower him, drop all of his Stats to NCM, and trim a DC off of his MA. The core concept of a high-STR pain resistant Martial atrist should be held onto as much as possible. The Lion is modled on heroes including Shaft, Blackbelt Jones, Remo Williams, the landlady from Kung-Fu Hustle, and the original Black Canary.

The World: Much like our world, December 28th 2004. The streets of New York City, arguably the greatest city on the face of the Earth, possibly the most dangerous as well. Corruption, drugs, crime and vice rule the streets. Violence is the law of the land and the ruthless hold sway, but no more. You will make a difference. You have the power. Either threw dedication, training and an unknown “Gift†you have been handed the power to take back the streets, to protect (or avenge) the innocent and punish the guilty. The authorities might call you Vigilante, perhaps even serial killer, but you know what you are. You are the savior of a new century, a light in the darkness. T…

I'm considering running a spin-off campaign for a 'Batman & Robin'-esque spinoff from the Champions of Justice in our long-running campaign, the RCU. These two characters are powerful renditions of Batman and Robin. I'm hoping to detail some of the Rogue's Gallery that Guardian and Shrike have accumulated in their solo careers away from the JSA type book, CoJ. My problem is coming up with decent stories. I need to create themed villians that could possibly challenge the heroines. But, the power level is fairly higher than DC:TAS is usually considered. The attacks and defenses of the heroines aren't exaggerated but, they have a plethora of skills and the like. …

Description: It's just a scanner and a lot of computing power. The character lays strips of paper taken from a paper shredder on the scanner. The computer examines all the little strips and, after a few hours of brutish work, it presents its best estimates as to what the original papers looked like before they were destroyed. (as seen on a fictional spy show a while back) naturally, some shredders do a better job than others, and that gets reflected in the results. Now, reasoning from effect, this looks like it could be Precognition (look back in time to see what the paper looked like), but I could see it built as healing or transform as well. What do you think.

I was talking to a guy my family knows. His Cobra is "only" running at 11 lbs of boost. He sayst that is generating about 650 hp, and he is drag racing the "Superbikes" on an "he wins, I win, toss a coin" basis. 0-60 in 2.5 seconds??????!!!!!! I thought sub 4 was AWESOME!, but I guess I was even more out of touch than I thought.

Attached is a pdf that contains the first 6 or 7 pages of campaign background for the game I am working on. The characters will all be members of an organization called the Conclave. A black ops government supported group that combats criminals, terrorists and supernatural threats. Since I won't be able to do much work on it for a few days I thought I'd post it if anybody cares to take a look and comment. The attached background covers the History of the Conclave from its inception in the 1890s, up until the 1920s.

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,…
