Christopher R Taylor Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I was relying on a lot of Facebook images and I think FB expunges images from time to time to save space or something on group pages. I was using Tinypic a lot after that and those seem to have mostly survived. Edit: updated images in the Crusader/Starburst/4th ed Champions thread. also updated images for the Aesisinos.

phoenix240 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just a 'reminded', it wouldn't be listed as "Public Identity" but "Social Complication: Famous Rock Star (Obligation To Fans, Band Mates, Reporters, ect...)". yeah, it would make it harder to act covertly in your secret ID, might reflect a job with higher than normal levels of responsibilities and obligations, more people watching you and asking question, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 OK gonna start work on the module Atlas Unleashed. This was published in 1989 by David Roger for Champions 3rd edition just as 4th edition was coming out. Its basically a hippie peacenik from the 70s forming a group to force peace and his ideas on the world, even if it takes war to get there. It even included a minor agency called Prometheus that acts as sort of a peace corps and has gadgets to deal with minor insurgencies etc. This one is kind of obscure but it was an interesting module.

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 First on the table is Peacemaker, the boss of the operation. He's the driving force behind the plot, although things don't go as he means to. He has pretty ordinary stats other than his intelligence then gains cybernetic powers including the vibrosword.

Armitage Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 You'll get to him enentually, but I always had an issue with Virtuoso. The guy has a Cosmic Variable Power Pool that requires music, art, or poetry to use, but it never actually describes the nature of the power. Apparently he just plays an instrument or recites a poem and rewrites reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 For 50 points, Mastermind gave you your total points, less Mastermind, in Bases, Vehicles and Followers. So Peacemaker would get 543 points worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I have European enemies, and I think Red Doom, but not Red Guard. Any group or character that's been reprinted in later editions I'm avoiding though, just trying to find old characters to rebuild for use today. As I recall European Enemies was pretty awful though.

pinecone Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Renegade, a team brick. He's pretty simple and straight forward a character, although the build has 100 endurance, and he only has basic abilities that use any END (strength and movement) so I'm not sure what on earth they did it for. He's a superhero in the tradition of his dad, Captain Thunder who died passing on his powers to Renegade. Framed for murder, the Protectors took him in and gave him a new identity. His sheet doesn't list it but all the other members had flash defense in their contacts, so I added it to him as well.

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Genetic Deviant X was the only surviving member of Atlas' Project Hope program. Intended to give people superpowers to help Atlas realize their worldwide dream of utopia, the program killed everyone else and turned poor Sid Chapman into... this. The adventure starts with a strike force hitting Atlas' base on the far side of the moon that ends up a creepy slasher flick with the stealthy and stalking horror Genetic Deviant X. The creature drains INT with suction cup fingertips, and is built as a "destroy" which in 3rd edition was basically a drain that came back the same speed as normal Body healing - slow enough to scare players into thinking the points are gone forever. I like this monster a lot, even though it seems like a cheap zombie ripoff at first blush.
