CHAMPIONS VILLAINS -- What Do *You* Want To See?

Re: CHAMPIONS VILLAINS -- What Do *You* Want To See?

 

I hope that I'm not repeating an already asked question. Are there going to be preview sections of the various 6E books like there were for 5E. I really hope so because that's how I made up my mind on whether or not to buy six or seven of the 5E books.

It has already begun...

I'm not currently running a Champions game, but if and when I do the temptation to have the Trickster manifest to characters via the Ojibwe spirit Nanabozho at some point will be irresistible. I want to see how players react when they meet Br'er Rabbit. (Or play out Doctor Destroyer's reaction to Bugs Bunny appearing and greeting him in customary fashion! )

Steve Long has mentioned in Hero chat that one of the new solo villains he's introducing in Vol. III will be Incubus, the CU's homage to Mr. Mxyzptlk.

All right, folx, Champions Villains is all done! 320 villains in three volumes, all cooked to perfection with a port wine reduction glaze and a side order of Evil. Thanx very much for your suggestions, and I hope you enjoy the books! CV1 has been sent to the printer, and CV2 will start layout soonly.

And here I thought it would be the heroes' geese that would be cooked....

You're welcome. I hope I actually said something useful this time!

Speaking of which...if the layouts are done for CV1 and it's already been approved by Cryptic and sent to the printers(to be published in physical form in 2-3 weeks), how much earlier than that will the pdf become available? I find myself rather...eager...to read it.

Hmm. It is my understanding that an incubus is a male sex demon, the masculine form of a succubus. Which would make it basically a rapist demon, or at best a seduction demon, the kind who would seduce a woman, get her drunk then post nude pictures of her online. That does not say "light-hearted fun" to me or anyone else with a conscience.

 

Just what is the story behind the CU's Incubus?

When I asked Steve during the chat if Incubus was a demon, his response, as closely as I can recall, was: "Yes, no, and sort of. You'll have to read his origin. I just thought 'Incubus' sounded like a cool name for a character." That's the extent of the info I have.
