Re: Fighting Game Hero

I myself remember Time Killers. Anyone else?

Time Killers...OMG...way back in the day, like 1992 I think...

Musashi, a samurai with two katana blades is the coolest of the cool...maybe excpet for the punk cyber dude with a chainsaw....

Re: Wondering what happened.

Had the same problem yesterday afternoon...when doing some research for a game I am running. But this morning when I restarted my POS machine....it was fine. Perhaps it was fixed over the wee morning hours or somebody used their Variable Power Pool (Only to fix Computer/Internet Problems)

Re: Building acrobatic combat agility (?)

I like to give the really fast' date=' agile characters knockback resistance with the limitation that they actually have to move backward. The visual is them getting knocked in the air, they twist and turn, land on their feet, and make some smart aleck response to whoever hit them.[/quote']

 

 

What kind of a limiation is that, how much of limitation...I really like that idea....makes the ninjas more ninja-ie....if that is even a word

Re: Campaipn Flavor Idea: "The Discovery Channel's Hero Metal Mondays"

Admittedly 18 hours of American Chopper have influenced this, but man, that show is riveting! So, in a world of Supers, what do you guys think about this for a little additional Flavor...The Discovery Channel does a show about the guys who custom build Hero vehicles. Maybe it's a new Bike for Nighthawk, maybe it's an interview with the guys at Lockheed Martin who just made a new Helicopter for PRIMUS. Possibly a special called "When UNTIL goes to war." Highlighting the hi-tech toys and vehicles and mentioning their histories? Considering that we have specials about the latest in real world military tech (They just have certain things that are absolutely not allowed to be filmed, like the F-22's cockpit) I think this could make an interesting minor flavor addition to a standard Champions game. Now admittedly, I pictured the Teutul's in my head....

 

Senior: We were honored that PRIMUS came to us to design their new bikes. We haven't done a lotta work with Radar Absorbent Material before, but I knew with guys like Rick and Vinnie, we could pull it out. I shoulda known that Paulie would drag it out and that really gripes my ass.

 

Paulie: What my Dad never understands is that this ain't the metalwork he started on 30 years ago. These composites and blends require a lot of work and all of that takes time. I mean, we designed and manufactured the Jet bike in 2 weeks and that was with normal sheet metal and no worries about a radar signature. Hell, we had to send Mikey back to school just to figure out that math on some of the designs. Not that that was such a hot idea.

 

*Cut to a picture of Mikey looking at a calculator like he's expecting it to start speaking*

Does that mean that Nighthawk will be doing a guest appearance on the Tonite Show to unveil it to the world of villans that are watching....

But then I all I see is some merc with "Find Weakness" watching how they weld it all together...and taking one lone shot and watching as Nitechicken burns up on the evening news...courtesy of the Teutels...

PS: I love the show....its worse than coffee or cigarettes...so damn addicting

Re: Thinking About DARK CHAMPIONS BATTLEGROUNDS

I agree, I've bought those and they're good.

 

PS - I've used the missile silo and the mall.

I am planning on using the haunted house for an upcoming adventure...it will keep the pyromancer in check....seeing how its gonna be a historical landmark...LOL

Re: Thinking About DARK CHAMPIONS BATTLEGROUNDS

Nope, definitely have to use the old abandoned Missle Silo.

wheu!

 

QM

Much as I am loathe to say this...have you checked out this...

http://www.sjgames.com/floorplans/FP3/

I know its blashpemy to say that I have this supplement from SJG....buts its a missle silo complete with 1" hexes on the other side....I recently ran my "Bureau" HERO team thru this..complete with giant radioactive ants...very cool...

Re: Halo Hero??

HALO is Uncle Bill's Mind Control Machine's cash cow for the masses...really awesome first person shooter with a story that involves a cybernetic soldier (Master Chief) battling aliens and a doomsday device bent on destroying the universe.

Just about any kid under 18 has played like a billion hours on their X-Box....killing aliens and other "Master Chief"s in the head to head mode.

With the upcoming release of HALO2....has anyone ever attempted to do a version of the Spartan II's for HERO....was thinking of it.....any ideas?

Re: Alpha or Beta Gamer?

Hey' date=' whats up man? Not living in MN any more? Drop me an eMail; Id like to catch up. [email']killershrike@killershrike.com[/email]

I will do this...right after I judo flip all the roleplayers and get them to join my game or face the wrath of Capt. Kung Fu!!!

Re: Sandugo: Pinoy Heroes and Characters

To" Kawanga Kid" Very nice pictures. What are "Diwata's" powers by the way? She somehow looks like a sorceress to me !

I could be wrong...but I think "Diwata" is a reference to the free spirit or something that is in nature....I could be wrong...my Taglog is very limited and I have forgotten a great deal of it, since my days of running around New Banican City.

Have to get Kawanga Kid to verify....I could be totally off base.

Re: Alpha or Beta Gamer?

Killer Shrike-I would of never guessed you a Type AAAAAAA+ Personality...not in a million years. Saying that Hype was a trainwreck waiting to happen is an understatement...but I did enjoy having him in the zoo with that charging elephant...just for the comic effect of you punching a charging elephant to stop it in its tracks. I really dont think there is enough Ritalin in the US to slow him down, but he was fun to play with. If we only could of gotten Gravitic into the fight, I still laugh at that...very interesting and unusal construction of a movement power.

Major Savage is cool...who else can blow away that many zombies and at the end of the battle...complain that his accuracy rating has gone down to 96.8%

Re: Captain America's Shield

Asgardian dwarves have entered into the Shield's history at no point that I am aware of.

I could be wrong...but I thought it could deflect magical attacks due to the fact that it was enchanted in Asgard, but I am not for sure...I kinda fell out of comics and just got back into them...

Joss Whedon writing "Astonishing X-Men"....that and Identity Crisis....

So glad I stopped in to see my buddy and grab a few mags for old times sake...all this time and still hooked...

Re: Captain America's Shield

Trying to apply logic to Cap's shield to that extent is pointless. Somehow' date=' it bounces, despite having a decent, though not infinite, about of KB Res.[/quote']

 

Not to sound like a late breaking reporter on this one...but wasnt Cap's shield at one time enchanted by Asgardian magic? So its an Unobtanium Hybrid metal shield that was enchanted by the same lil dwarves who created Thor's hammer....but I do understand where the question comes from...then I think about the "Vita-Rays" that bombarded Steve Rogers...and I just smile as a classic case of "Super" science comes in...

Re: Monster Squad Ideas

My concern is that a zombie-hunt would be too 1-dimensional. I should mention that a typical gaming session lasts about 8 hours (Primarily because we only game once every 2 weeks and because one guy drives 100 miles and another guy 40 miles to get there). Killed one, ya killed 'em all.

 

 

I have been thinking about doing just that...and came up with Resident Evil HERO....SWAT type characters with loads of ammo...most of my players have played Resident Evil...or saw the movie they made. Arent they making a sequel or something? Anyway....it was easy to do...just went thru the Bestiary for baddies, seeing how none of my cheapskate players want to buy the Bestiary, I am safe from them peeking at the "Big Book of Baddies"....but am gonna segway the game into a "Stalking the Night Fantastic HERO" type of game...I mean what else is a bunch of PC's gonna do after fighting the supernatural....of course, Get an oppurtunity to join an elite fighting force to stop the evil in the world from running ruffshod...as it were..

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.

Storn, I have a question for you. Have you written up the flying heroine that I observe flying about Millenium City in various pictures. I have to say my favorite one is when she is standing amongst the memorial to Detroit's Fallen Masks. Was just curious?

Re: Gun Fu

. . . I need Dark Champions . . . So bad . . .

Dont we all...Dont we all!! Am debating about ordering online or having a buddy who is going to GenCon and have him buy it from the HERO guys on scene??

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!!

Came up in a game, and I didnt know what the answer was...thought this would be the best place to put it for a "real" answer.

Do the 10 pt. Skill Levels help the Find Weakness power?

I have a tendency to make the guy with alot of skills and languages....cant be a hero if you cant disarm the bomb. Or know if the guy you just beat up is calling you a putz in Swahili or something like that.

And of course you gotta have Martial Arts. But I like to be the "Competent Normal" as it were...when you spend 200+ points on skills and MA.

Might throw some gadgets on the end..just to give him the edge

Far as Combat Driving...that could be something that I slowly recall as my memory slowly comes back(insert shallow PC ploy devoid of meaning and caring) Have great ideas for lots of skills...and whatever else craziness I can come up with in the confines of the Super-Soldier idea...

That works for me...it does indeed fit into the concept of a mind conditioned personage....I like it alot...what kind of a disad are we talking about?

I gets no respect for my peeps....I was at an impass....something that was street level but able to stand up to the "real" villans of a four color. And far as my history...I am working on that, Shrike...
