Groveling for for Marvel stats

Recommended Posts

Greetings all.

 

I offer a gamers debt to any who can help me with this:)

 

My game troupe has decided that we wish to start a new champions game.

It is intended to be a "Kingdom Come" like game. exceept it will be set in the Marvel universe.

 

My problem is this. Although we have been playing champions for years, it has been in a homebrew setting.

Our extensive character library will be of no use to us with this new game.

 

My questions are two:

 

1, Has anyone worked up a sizable collection of Hero Desighner files for Marvel characters?

 

2, If so, then are you willing to share/donate said files to a noble gaming group, who will use them only for the sole purpose of having fun in the attic?

 

It's not that I mind doing the conversions( I truly love statting up HERO characters) so much as it is a matter of free time.

 

As said, if anyone can help, we will owe you one.

 

Thanx

This site will be your best friend: http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/mathew/champions.html

 

Also, Surbrook's excellent character archive (http://surbrook.devermore.net/index/archive.html) may also have a few characters there. At the very least, there's an excellent Longshot write-up somewhere on the site.

 

Finally, here you'll find some general guidelines for Marvel-to-HERO conversions: http://www.sysabend.org/champions/

 

Knock yourself out. :)

Try here:

 

Everything you need... with variations on characters... Sorted by character OR group affiliation (Avengers/FF/X-Men, etc)

 

http://www.sysabend.org/champions/gnborh/index.html

 

Excellent archive, although none of these are in Hero Designer format, so I'm not sure whether they'll be of use to you. Also, many of the entries are for Fourth Edition HERO System rather than the current Fifth, so that may also make a difference to you.

 

Assuming you're able to do something with 4E writeups, here are some other significant sources:

 

Deejay's Champions Writeups, another large, well-organized archive. Pretty much all 4E:

http://www.mactyre.net/scm/deejay/champs/writeups.html

 

This section of The Wild Hunt campaign website has very good X-Men and related character writeups:

http://x-men.the-wild-hunt.org/

 

Surbrook's Stuff is particularly strong in characters from smaller publishers. All written for 5E:

http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptionscomic/comicchar.html

 

The Character String thread from Hero Games's "Old Forum" archives is for 4E, but notable for detailed discussion of the design rationale for many of the writeups, and the formulas to convert them from the versions published in other RPGs.

 

Because the internal links between pages no longer function, I've linked to each page separately:
