New Product! Shared Origins: The Green Butterfly PDF

New from Dean Shomshak - SHARED ORIGINS: The Green Butterfly

A CHAMPIONS Supplement of Characters and Concepts

Some Books Can Change Lives: More so than usual for the grimoire called Metamorphosis of the Green Butterfly. This rare and ancient book of magic teaches a spell to gain super-powers - to become, indeed, a nascent demigod. But the spell is unreliable and dangerous. Instead of metamorphosis and ascension, some people suffer death or transformation into rampaging monsters. Will you risk everything, body and soul, for a chance at power?

Here's what you get in Shared Origins: The Green Butterfly:

* Background and game mechanics for Metamorphosis of the Green Butterfly, the Origin Grimoire.

* Four sample villains who gained their powers by using the grimoire, from the cunning Capricorn to the tragic, nearly mindless Elemental. 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.

* A discussion of origin stories in which heroes and villains knowingly face great danger. What matters so much to you that you'd risk death for the sake of power?

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.
