Okay, guys......... Here's the deal, I only recently caught up on my Lovecraft - mainly due to a player who loaned me the books as his character in my game was going down that path. Things are now going "swell" and we're coming to an accelerated ending of the plotline kicked off when this massively brilliant (like 80 INT at that time) scientist got a hold of THE Necronmicon. Bwahahahahahaha. So here's the deal (if you're in my game, this is not a spoiler, this is the setup sent to the Sihn player): (WARNING - LONG but I hope entertaining - and there's a plea for help at the end so please do skim if you are into Lovecraft and Champions HERO): Re…

I just watched "Equilibrium" and was intruiged by the "gun-kata" sequences. John Preston, Grammiton Cleric may yet get the "Surbrook Treatment," but first I'm interested in suggestions on what gun-kata would entail.

Hello all. I have always liked the Rifts setting, but hated the system and recently I began to study on how I would want to run a Rifts Hero campaign. I do not want to do a conversion, but instead am looking at capturing the feel and ideas presented in Rifts. With that in mind I began to study how I would want my players to create their characters. I want them to be able to create just about any character since a dimensional rift could have deposited them on the Rifts world. So, with this in mind I have a couple of question. 1) Is Rifts a superheroic level or a heroic level campaign? This is the first a most basic question of the campaign. At the moment …

aka has anyone ever done writeups of the cast of Bubblegum Crisis? It would be interesting to see what the Knight Sabers are like both in and out of the hardsuits, what the AD Police write up as (and how you avoid a high body count when running them) and how powerful the Boomers are in HERO terms.

Anyone ever tried to put this together? I was thinking about it, but trying to figure out how to handle quickenings. I was leaning towards making 2 types of XP. One a character normally gains and one that is gained from quickenings. Then any "highlander" abilities could only be purchased by quicken points (QP). Any ideas?

Okay, I just posted this on the d20 forum, but I think HERO would probably be a better fit. What do you think about a campaign based on the works of Jules Verne or HG Wells? I know Castle Falkenstein used War of the Worlds and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (among others) in the Steam Age sourcebook. Does a HERO version of this kind of campaign appeal to you?

Ever wonder what a superpowered Ninja Hero campaign might look like? Well, if you happen to have the Cartoon Network as part of your cable/satellite service, you'll have the opportunity to see how the fights in such a campaign would look come Aug. 30th at 7:00 PM. That's when the Cartoon Network begins airing episodes of Knights of the Zodiac, a.k.a. Saint Seiya (Knights of the Zodiac, IIRC, is the approximate translation into English of the title under which it was aired in Spanish- speaking countries -- Los Caballeros de la Zodiaco. Of course, I may have screwed up as to the Spanish form of the title as far as how it should be written -- foreig…

Here's a topic, since a lot of modern anime shows involve collecting things/animals/spirits/people/magic/etc what do you think is the best ways to simulate this in a HERO system campaign? It can be trickier than you might think, since you are supposed to pay points for most of this stuff in a HERO campaign, especially one where the PCs get some design or modification options to the collected items. (As the items "grow", "evolve" or otherwise advance/change.) To start things off as an offshoot of the Magical Girls campaign, how about a campaign where you are collecting magical cards with spells embedded in them? The cards exist in "monster" forms until the players def…

I was wondering how one would design (hopefully as an NPC) a little girl with the powers of the Elder Gods. Maybe she's the unfortunate product of interbreeding, or maybe she's an Elder God herself in human form. If she were evil, she would be a truly firgihtening character indeed. But what if she were just curious about the world, inexperienced, or didn;t know hwo to use her powers yet?

How would you, as a chartsacter constructor, model the abilityu to summon a mallet out pof thin air and whack someone who is annpoying you with it? Desite the massive weightof the mallet, you would have no trouble weilding it and, while being hit with it hurts like hell and might knock someone unconscious, it;'s nefer fatal. This power is frequently associated with anime, and linked to characters like Akane Tendo (Ranma 1/2) and Kaori (City Hunter). It is usually used as a resaponse to someone you care about (but are in denial about) looking at another girl or doing something equally rude.

Is there someplace specific I should post these? I added these to my old Magi-Nation post but noticed that no one was even viewing it. I want characters to be able to activate Relics once a day and then it is active for maybe five minutes. At any time during this period the character should be able to use any powers of the Relic. How do I represent this? Also how do I make a Relic that will reduce the END Cost of all Powers on Relics by 4 END for as long as it is activated? Finally every Magi has a VPP which changes every turn without his control (this represents his hand). How would I make a Relic that would let you roll to see what goes in your hand and …

Greetings. I'm about to start a Dark Champions vigilante game and I'm at a but if a loss for scenario ideas. I was hoping that the assembled herodom could offer some suggestions and help get the creative juices flowing. The game is heroic-level with equipment purchased with money. Characters are based on 75+75 points. The current crop of characters: A criminal court judge, owner of an apartment block. A Catholic junior priest with some mystic powers of an angel of vengence. A former dot-com mogol with a surveillance van. A wealthy ex-green beret who provides training for security and law enforcement. !DrFurous!
