Mathew Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I remember there were conversion rules in an old issue of AC years ago, but I seem to have lost that issue. Anyone know what issue or have a copy of the conversion rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armitage Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. Adventurer's Club #5. It was a 5-page article with different charts for each ability, so not something that could be easily reproduced here. Hmm, it looks like I replied to a similar thread back in 2004 and did reproduce the core of the article. I have no memory of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawksmoorSD Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. I used the one John linked to to make a conversion chart that was a little closer to what I wanted. It is however really close to that and I've long been a fan of that page.

Hugh Neilson Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. The problem with all conversion charts is that they make assumptions about the game converted to. What is Unearthly STR in your Champions game? The conversion chart defines it, and you could certainly adopt those benchmarks for a Champions game, but the other characters would need to be defined around those benchmarks as well. [ASIDE: I always hated the jump from Amazing (50) to Monstrous (75), and thought there should be an intervening level set at 60 - call it Fantastic.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. When I last did conversions, I used those charts, except for STR and movement, which I tried to base on any real-world numbers available (pounds lifted and mph flying for instance).

RexMundi Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. Don't forget. Marvel Super Heroes Ultimate Powers book added a lot of Granularity to the FASERIP stat range giving you stuff to fill the voids between stats. If you look at the chart though you can convert easily enough allowing HERO "push" to equal shift benchmarks etc etc ..... Used to love demo-ing that game for T$R back in the day. One of the finest products ever put out in the end. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nexus Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. Wow Ultimate Powers book, I hadn't heard that in years. I used to have all the OHOTMU with the character stats in them. Wish I knew what happened to all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexMundi Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. Stuff's still out there. One of the hotest Out of Print Games and set of supplements still rolling. The system itself's undergone something of a rebirth as well, but I've still got, hmm, I'd say all the books in a box somewhere. You can even find it all online since it's got a loyal following that still rolls pretty strong. Was a great system, still is. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLBlake Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. One of my groups favorite in between games pastimes was converting characters from Marvel to Champions. At one time we had most of the characters from the Official Handbooks of the Marvel Universe converted over. Unfortunately, the player who was running the game at the time moved away with all of our conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nexus Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. We used to use the Marvel game as a huge Battle Royal. We'd all pick 10 of our favorites use the big city map that came with the game and have at it. We had rules like you could only pick 1 power house (anyone that had an Unearthly was typically a powerhouse). It was a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaplayboy Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: Old Marvel Super Heroes to Champions conversion. There was an old AC with conversion notes for Mayfair's DC Heroes game too, but in that case the values were "curved" downwards for the higher-end folks like (Pre-Crisis) Superman (who'd have a 250 STR doing a straight conversion, but the curved value was still 150).
