Niblet Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 My friends and I are running a 5th edition Champions campaign. We all play remotely using roll20.net as our table top and skype to communicate. So we have decided to record the skype chat and post the results online! If you want to have a listen, have a look at www.chimpions.co.uk Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amorkca Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I listened to it last night... Very good, and I wonder if your players have watched the Jessica Jones show on Netflix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niblet Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi, I've not seen Jessica Jones, I'll ask my fellow players! Thanks for listening, it's starting to evolve as we play and the audio editing is getting some 'enhancements' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorkca Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 You might not want to ask them... The main Villain in JJ is a mind controlling fellow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niblet Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm one of the players, not the GM - plus, that nemesis is out the picture for the time being (so we think!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shigeru Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Very cool. I am also considering doing something like this, but I really want to include some video/screen capturing for the sake of promoting roll20 as a viable Champions VTT.

CptPatriot Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Shigero, how are they handling Hero System dice rolling? I seem to recall needing special handling for handling the Stun and Body in macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shigeru Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well, there's no way for me to handle STUN/BODY counting in full without an API scrip. Even the in-game macros don't really work cleanly for that, because they don't handle the individual dice values separately (cannot "count" the number of 6s versus 1s, for example). What I ended up doing, and which has been perfectly acceptable, is to roll Xd6 damage dice and sort the results in descending order for ease of referencing the 6s and 1s. Then I compare the number of 6s to 1s and come up with my BODY total that way. (10d6 damage rolled is 10 BODY plus 1 for every 6, minus 1 for every 1). People familiar with Champions can do the math in their heads already, like RPG Rainmen. So, it is not terrifically automated. I'm not a huge fan of that anyway, because it messes with flexibility sometimes. A "one button attack/damage/hit location" tool might be good, but it might also remove some variance that I might apply if I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shigeru Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I also use the Hero Designer Combat Reference Chart to track actions. No problem, but again, it wouldn't be so easy for a new person to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpions-GM Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I do the same for Stun/Body. For killing attacks I have a macro. It's also easy to put together a Macro that tells you what DCV you hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpions-GM Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I've been a bit slack keeping up with things here. Terrible really as I love the Hero System. Just a quick update. The podcast is now up to episode 14. We have greatly improved the audio quality over the course of our gaming sessions. http://www.chimpions.co.uk/?podcast=chimpions-episode-14-rebs-ruin-rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
