    Power For Sale
     
    A billion dollars, legal immunity, and a Nobel Prize. That’s the supervillain Red Giant’s price to reveal the secret of the Dynatron — his miracle machine that can give anyone super-powers. Nobody’s met his price… yet.
     
    For a mere half-million, you can step into the Dynatron and receive super-powers yourself. Lots of people take this offer: Gangs and governments who want super-thugs and super-soldiers; would-be villains in search of origins; established supervillains hoping for power-ups. Won’t you join the list of satisfied customers?
     
    Here’s what you get in the 47-page supplement Shared Origins: The Dynatron:
     
    * Background and game mechanics for the Dynatron — the Instant Origin Machine!
     
    * Nine sample villains who gained their powers from the Dynatron, from the out-of-his-depth Mob enforcer Orb to the city-freezing Fimbulwinter. Each character comes with a complete character sheet, background, story seeds, and a full-color illustration.
     
    * One sample hero, ready to play or use as an NPC.
     
    * The story of how Red Giant invented the Dynatron, and the consequences for him and his first supervillain team, the Rainbow Cartel.
     
    * A brief discussion of “Power Vendors” as reusable sources of super-powered characters, with four additional examples of this origin story.
     
    * A look at the practical difficulties of selling super-powers and owning the most valuable machine in the world.
     
    Uses HERO System 6th Edition or CHAMPIONS Complete.
     
    THE SHARED ORIGINS SERIES
     
    This series of mini-supplements for CHAMPIONS provides "Origin Stories" that players and GMs can use for many different characters. Coming up with character origins is work; reusable origin gimmicks help you spend more time on character backgrounds and motivations and less time explaining why heroes and villains have super-powers in the first place. Shared origins can also tie characters together and create story hooks.
     
    Each supplement supplies background information and game mechanics for one shared origin story, a ready-to-play sample hero, and a selection of sample villains. Supplements stand alone to make it easier to plug the sample characters and origin story into your own superhero setting.

    Hero Games presents Adventures In Monster Hunting, features six scenarios for the MHI RPG. Each of them is relatively simple and straightforward, perfect for new GMs and players to cut their teeth on but still plenty of fun for experienced GMs and players. They are:
     
    >The New Kids In Town, in which the PCs go into the field for the first time and find themselves taking on a nest of wererats
     
    >Gimme That Old One Religion, which pits the PCs against a cult that worships the Old Ones and is secretly controlled by a powerful necromancer named Vincent Scarlatti;
     
    >Bewitched, Bothered, And Bewildered, in which Scarlatti lures the PCs into a trap to try to get rid of them, while simultaneously attacking a local MCB facility to “recruit” monsters held captive there;
     
    >The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, which puts the PCs in the middle of an occult war between Scarlatti and Lucinda Hood;
     
    >Soul Man, in which a grieving daughter asks the PCs to rescue her father’s soul from an oni, but who in truth has far more sinister motivations; and
     
    >Journey Of The Sorcerer, in which Vincent Scarlatti uses a powerful new body to try to complete a major summoning ritual before the PCs can stop him.

    Hero Games is proud to present a supplement for Champions by Dean Shomshak
     
    There's a thin line between genius and EVIL!
    Sky-Q is such a good "smart drug," it's a shame it's illegal. Users gain an hour of better memory and concentration -- followed by fatigue, irritability, and other unpleasant side effects. A few steady users gain much more: They master exotic sciences and invent radical new technologies. On the other hand, they develop bizarre, megalomaniac obsessions and become supervillains! Some of them are loopy "theme gadget" criminals. Others are rather less funny.
     
    Here's what you get in SHARED ORIGINS: SKY-Q:
     
    * Background and game mechanics for Sky-Q, the smart drug that works too well.
     
    * Four sample villains who gained their powers from Sky-Q, from the farcical Mushroom Master to the monstrous Izverg. Each character comes with a complete character sheet, background, story seeds, and full-color illustration.
     
    * One sample hero, ready to play or use as an NPC.
     
    * A brief discussion of "Origin Substances" as reusable explanations for characters gaining super-powers, with three additional examples of this classic origin story.
    Uses HERO System 6th Edition or CHAMPIONS Complete.
