I'm about to start a mini-campaign involving a small supers team. For years I have used the 1 per 5 active cost for everything. That was how I learned the game back in the day and when Fred came out and gave changed it to 1 per 10 active with the option for 1 per 5. I just stayed with the 1/5 cost. But now that I am going to introduce a new group to the game I was thinking of changing to the book cost of 1/10. I was wondering if it really matters, and if anyone out there remembers the game impact of the change. On the face of it a Super could cut his End in half to maintain the same effective longevity in the game. But things are never that simple. Any thoughts would be welcome as I am wrapping up the PC prebuilt characters and need to make this decision before I finalize them and finish all of the villians and henchmen

Re: Adventure Modules Not being flippant, or at least not too much....but Black-who???

Re: Adventure Modules I'm a die hard printed product guy. But for adventures I actually like the PDF format. As Cardinal noted, that is what Hero Plus basically is as far as I can tell. So far they have all leaned to Pulp (not that I mind, I have them all) and I was going to ask about the possibility of Champs HP or the other genre's. PDF's can be a hard sell sometimes, but for adventures they are perfect. One thing I really liked about the last few HP's was that the included NPC write ups didn't flow into each other. I usually copy the villains onto a character sheet when I run. Now I can just print the needed page and feel free to mark it up during play. With only one NPC per page (or facing pages) this is easy. Now all we need are some Supers scenario's!

Re: I Need A Teen Champions Plot! Or a bunch of gun carrying loonies take over the "private academy" thinking use the sons and daughters of the "Rich and powerful" to force the government to give in to their demands. The catch would be that they don't know that the students are supers and with all the media coverage the super-teens can't just act. Secret ID's and such.......

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien?

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? I consider any comparison of the two to be an apple and oranges thing. They both wrote and inspired genres that I enjoy. No matter who wrote them (T or H or imitators). I have found I really enjoy adapting H's style stories to gaming much more that T's.

Re: Too many points? Try GM mystery points. I have played some games where the PC's give some of thier points and disads to the GM. The GM secretly spends them for the PC. It simulates the "unknown" powers some Supers have and discover in really bad/stressful situations. The disads can be really fun in a game. 140 is a might big chunk of points. But that could be fun too.

Re: Book suggestions? The Mageworld series by Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald. There are seven books so far: The Price of the Stars Stapilot's Grave By Honor Betray'd The Gathering Flame The Long Hunt The Stars Asunder A Working Of Stars Written like it had a roleplaying game in mind.

Re: Not good is my Google-fu.... Basil, Edsel Some excellent resources. They have exactly the type of info I was needing. Thanks all

Re: Not good is my Google-fu.... Great sites, but not what I need. I am in the process of building deck plans for use in PulpHero. I am trying to round out the roughs for two. One will be a trans-Atlantic liner. One of the smaller ones that can be adapted for world wide use. The other is a Passenger Rocket for SSatSPoA. Coming up with crew and watch stations for a warship isn't hard. And it really wouldn't be that bad to make up those for a passenger liner. But I would like to get as close to authenticity as I can. Especially with the passenger handling part of the crew. I'd really like to be able to see the ratio of service crew to passenger.

I have been looking for some info circa 1930's and just cannot find any. It probably has to do with they way I am phrasing my searches. What I am looking for is: 1) Crew list and job breakdown for a passenger liner. 2) The same for a small freighter which could take on passengers. 3) The same for passenger trains. Any ideas/sources?

Re: I need a name for a society of adventurers How about the "Society of Adventurers"?

Re: The Pact Have you arranged for secure transport of your super duper top secret decoder ring? Hmmmmm? Hmmmmmm?

Re: Secret decoder AAAAhhhhhh! AAAAAhhhh!!! Grand Vizier Curufea, Chief Advisor to the Great Doctor Wu has unleashed ChaosDrgn wielder of the ancient terror Ovaltine!

Re: Secret decoder MisterBaldy Just remember, this is all the fruition of the devious plot of Grand Vizier Curufea, Chief Advisor to the Great Doctor Wu. Soon the unwitting Herophiles will expose the ultra top secret code and plunge the universe into chaos… Or… Maybe not……

Re: Secret decoder

Re: Secret decoder Not true, Not true! You have merely fallen for the first layer of cunning protection. The ultra top secret decoder ring would never be so easily solved. Not unless GASP!, you are really the diabolical Dr. Wu disguised as a Hero fan! Oh the agony of betrayal

Re: US Army Insignia No, my friend you are much too kind to them. The site IS an pop under ad. With a small number of useful pages..

Re: US Army Insignia Great site!

Re: Zatch Bell I'm with you Badger. I love Anime and have a fair collection. But ZB just feels "not right" I never finished an episode and after trying twice never looked back. Kinda like Pokymon (or however it is spelled). I may be much better as manga though. Good luck SKJAM
