Galactic Champions, how will you use it?

Re: Galactic Champions, how will you use it?

 

Thanks for posting that. Not a bad little write-up. But hey' date=' I'm [b']bound[/b] to say that, as M-E Lad always was one of my all-time favorites!

 

By the way, if anyone's interested, I've got my own write-ups of the Legion Transuits, Flight Rings, Telepathic Plugs and Cruisers. They're really high-point items, but there's a very easy way to get the cost down to just a point or two per Legionnaire.

 

Spill! I was very curious!

Okay, the thread with the write-up for the Legion Flight Ring, as well as explaining how I go about getting such a low cost for such a high point item, is here .

 

The write-ups for the other things are shorter, but I'll have to dig them out of Hero Designer and get them properly formatted for posting. I don't know if I'll get to it tonight (this morning? It's almost 5 a.m. my time) but I will get around to it soon.

Re: Galactic Champions, how will you use it?

 

Interesting...

 

That is certainly a way to do that. The +5 additional item mechanic.

 

And a flight ring as a vehicle? That's 30th Century Technology for you!

Re: Galactic Champions, how will you use it?

 

Okay, I think that's all the bits of Legion equipment I have written up. I did not bother with things that only showed up in one story ("It's a dimensional blaster, and its range is infinite!") or just too silly; the latter generally from the early days of the Legion ("With this personality scanner, we can tell what people are really like. For example, that nice-looking woman driving by, the scanner shows she actually has an evil personality!!").

Re: Galactic Champions, how will you use it?

 

The Legion Mark 594 Cruiser looks great as well. I did something very similar...spookily...similar in my pen and paper days. Computers are so much more champons friendly.

 

Oh, and my other favs are the Subs. Especially Stone Boy/Dag Wentim.

Say what you want about the Giffen run, it was stylish and cool, plus the S.U.B.s became a real force under Jacques.
