Brickhouse would jump (using a push ?) up to the skyfalling carrier, and do use her formidable physic to crush it into parts as fast as possible to make it explode before the impact... even to the cost of her own life (Thanks Lucius & palindromedary again for the first build of that character ^^) Mimic would try to find the best abilities to copy and use them, ti either destroy, repair, deviate, whatever the skycruiser.

Woot ! I like this thread ^^ First, Mother Russia's relatives should be kept under a really well hidden custody, one that Mother Russia can't look for (even more if she's going to have N-Ray vision or supersenses), so here are a few ideas where to keep them : - in an ever moving submarine vessel - in another dimension custody - in her mind : i,e she THINKS she has relative but they are all a creation of a mentalist or gadget that make her thinks so (what about adding a mentalist in your Russian superteam ?) - They are all dead already, and impersonated on videos by robots or VR icons. As for Putin, I won't comment the full american way you see him all; no politics in post. I'd just say, in Champions normally you don't mess with Head of States personas. You don't fight Khadafi or Kim Jung Hun. You fight the minions, the villains, yu let politics to politicians and UNO. Just my thoughts Opale, in soviet cosplay

I find the idea interesting, although some points seems difficult to settle with. For example, if all your PCs come from a different dimension from each others, how can they work well together ? Who to trust ? Who to follow, as ech of us would want to save their relatives, their own world ? And then, if they survived they would have to fight and survive in a multidimensional world that want them dead. Without a personal way to move from a place to another, how is that possible ? I suggest you take a look at the Book of the Empress for hints about cosmic dimensional threat, or Skarn the Shaper, or Tyrannon. About the character's balances, it seems you are more or so using the 5th ed power level, which means to me the SPD chart of your PCs could go from 4 to 7. But that's not enough to survive and fight in such a world you describe, even if the villains are street level. They would need "weird " science or powers, in order to escape and make a difference. And build a network of resistance. Opale, who ran a V'han invasion in Galactic Champions....

Overdrive was a supervillainess from the 31th century, with vast cyberkinesis powers. She was acknowledged by Mechanon as a potential rival and threat, and studied by him till the two confronted in an epic battle that saw an entire solar system covered with a technovirus, that turned every organic life into machines. With the gathering of the Champions, The Star*Guard and several heroes and powerful beings, the Mechanon threat was annihilated. But still, noone was able to understand how he could have achieved that kind of massive destruction; the reason is there : he captured Overdrive, and made experiment on her. He learned that they shared the same hatred of humanity, at least for freeing machines from them, and that she would prefer robots to life. And he wanted to use her powers for his own advantage. So, with nano surgery, he separated her head from her body, and used that said body, still full of her cyberkinesis abilities, as a way to spread the technovirus, covering the planets with a mix of nanites and Overdrive's organics particles. But he underestimated the villainess survival instinct, and while Mechanon was fighting heroes in the galaxy, she subjugated another of Mechanon space facility, and built herself a new body, that would protect her brain and head. Now, using a body partially made of Mechanon technology, she became UltraDrive.

well well i hesitated long between taskmistress and her copycat abilities, and T.A.S.K, but I have a weakness for redeemer heroes, so SteelCold wins this one ^^

My players don't like to develop their own stories, and paradoxally want to have "something of their own". After a dozen of occurence and try, I abandooned the idea of casual living for PCs, as they aren't able to manage it by themselves, or be patient enough for other PCs Secret ID. :/ Might be a cultural thing again Opale, often putting too much work and hope in Pcs commitment to the game

I personally envision a mad scientist version of Anthony Hopkins ^^ Opale, seen herself quite well as a Viper Nest Leader btw!

Actually it was Adder, from the Champions : The New Millenium setting Opale, loving old badly developped stuff with great pictures

Woot! ok, sorry if that's a known character that I never heard about, but i find the look very appealing. here is your challenge

so ? who got it this time ?

Thanks Phantom. And btw, as I'm mostly using the excellent work made by the previous authors of GC, I'm reviewing the B&W pictures used to illustrate the book. Does anyone know of good superheroic and galactic pictures I could use to create this fanmade 6th ed ? Any help welcome Opale, looking for dreamful pictures

Tendril Calvin Wines was one of the good guys. He served his country as a marine for six years, got wounded at war, received medals and honor, and wanted to be back on the field, to help his brothers at arms. The army only permitted him to act as a trainer and recruiter; so he did it till his contract was due. Then he became a security consultant, and was always trying to help people wherever he might go. One day, he and his team were hired by the Sentinels, as part of their base security, and Calvin relieved in working with superheroes. He deeply wished to become one, to help even more people. And it happened. After one of the capes missions, Calvin seized a batttle serum, and took the risk to try it on himself. He became faster, stronger, tougher. He became the Ward, a new born hero, that the Sentinels trained as a stagee. But the serum was demanding, and started to have dangerously draining effects on his body and psyche. Again the Sentinels helped him, and they healed him, destroying any trace of the serum in his cells. Calvin was devastated to be a normal guy again. But even his friends from the Sentinels couldn't do much for him. And he became bitter, envious, jealous. He worked with them as a physical trainer, and stayed close, hoping something could be done for him. He spied on them, plotted whatever he could to get back his abilities, to no avail. Till that day, when the team revealed some of an evil plan from King Cobra and COIL organization. Against the superheores advise, Calvin wanted to show them he was still a hero. Of course he got captured. Of course, King Cobra easily detected the poison in his heart and mind, and turned him into one of his minions. The bio-genetical virus turned Calvin into Tendril. Now he was powerful enough again, fast strong and tough, and lethal. That's all he wanted finally : power. The rest of his good personality having been erased by COIL leader virus.

Hi LL Yes, I do own the Terran Empire book already, issue is it stayed in France (I only have pdf with me in China.). And I need to produce some documents with the China banks in order to buy something online. Might get solved in few weeks. @ Megaplayboy : thanks for the tips, I will look at it.

I think I saw info about varanyi alien species in one of the old 4th ed books; maybe ultimate mentalist or such; can anyone confirm ? btw, i was able to edit the whole GC book in a word format, which will be handy to add and update things, woot ! Opale, editing a galaxy

@ Phantom : I llike the setting you push,but like I said, I think I'll try to stick to the setting provided by Darren Watts , Steve Long, etc, and then include new stuff into it. But I can see a way or two to use your good idea. @LL : Yes Ro'inesh, and other aliens didn't got developed enough (or in books I don't own) to be really useful; I think lot of work is to be done on the 5-6 major species ruling the galaxy

lol, I will pass on this one, as I can't think about other ting than Ranma ^^

I do not confuse both books, but I use alot of CB in GC. I intended to use lots of the work that had been done by Darren Watts, Steve long, etc, in Galactic Champions, both by respect to their work, and because I am not good enough in english to paraphrase them. But I intended to extend their work in specific spots and ways, to make it my own 6th ed vision. Speaking of which, would any of you be ok to review my Champions Team and give me a feedback ? Opale, gathering intel

Well, I never read LoSH, I'm afraid. But I am told I like to create things in more than 4 colors, including some shades of grey. Something between Bronze and Iron Age. For instance I want to revisit Defender concept, as well as several others, but still include it in the universe. I have more than one single idea for that, I just need to decide myself for an option or another.

Well the picture literally "oozes" it

no pb with me ^^

Feeling like creatng a villain so : HellGate was originally known as François de Closet, a bored wealthy heir of an ancient french family. He tried it all twice, got even more blased and bored, till finally his wealth permitted him to get new acquaintance with very shaddy persons. They trained him into the occult arts, but he was not very good at it. They made him use his wealth in order to help their cult, as part of a new DEMONhame. But it was destroyed by a french cape, and François barely escaped. Although, in his flee, he grabbed what he could and looted on the corpse of the DEMON brother, a large brown cloak, that should have been an artefact, but that no one could activate. The instant the cloak was on his shoulders, it went back to life. And it leeched all sanity François might still have, to replace it with it's own will. And granting him the dangerous powers of been a living portal to the Hells. Since then, the puppet that was once François de Closet obeys the whispers and whims of a thousand devilish voices. But what is the goal of the Hellgate ?

Thanks alot QM for your abondant help I'll need to read it all several times, but it appears to me that some of those things you wrote, I never heard about. I'm also pondering the fact to rewrite completely the Champions team for the 6th ed, and be very careful about the balance in their stats. In 5th ed, some characters were totally unbalanced compared to others, and we discovered that as we were playing. Which led to creating a brand new group afterward, and a second group of heroes to protect the galaxy. Opale, the head in the stars

Very difficult to choice to make ! Anyway, there should be a winner, so i choose phoenix240.

IstvathavanENG.wav Looking at the work I've one for my GC campaign, I found this; I totally forgot I did this. ^^ It was used as an automatic advertisement broadcasted during the V'han invasion. With a well choosen music behind, it totally froze my players during the game lol Opale, reviewing her teasers and videos

It works I didn't even remembered I posted there too. Too bad all attached pictures disappeared. but I can picture a way or two to get this TED and Paradox Timely included and revamped into my own fanmade version of GC. Opale, bookmarking the whole thing
