Re: DEMON cover previews out! Mr. Cook, you ROCK!!

Re: Maps from "Hero Clix" That would be a big ole huge AFFIRMATIVE Oh, and it's good to "see" ya again.

Re: Shrinky Dink Heroes Just bought a package for myself an hour ago. Right where cutsleeve said, Georgia-Pacific brand, 110# weight, 150 sheets for $5.

Re: How to kill a PC? Have Dr. Destroyer return, after supposedly being gone for good, bent on destroying a whole city. He fights your heroes, and fires an energy beam from his orbiting satellite weapons platform. This destroys the city, as well as killing his heroic opponents. What? That's been done already? [Emily Latella voice] Never mind... [/Emily Latella voice]

Re: Shrinky Dink Heroes That's what you use all your d12's for (you know, the one's from your AD&D days, that you kept but never use). Turn the d12 so that the number that the mini is standing on is the altitude in inches (up to 12" anyway). Turn them as the character flies up or down. They're stable, and if you're character is more than 12" up he's probably running away anyway.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Do you think we can con Mightybec into using his real pic for his avatar? A: There aren't enough horses in the world to do this.

Re: Looking for random-roll HERO Possibly this might be what you're looking for? I'll keep looking for other sites.

Re: Why are there never any Fantasy Hero games at the Cons? This is not always true. It would depend on the players involved (and the number of players), the scenario being played, the GM(s) running the game, etc. Many years ago a buddy of mine and I wrote a scenario for 6 players, to be run in a 4 hour slot. It involved being called in to a crime scene, detective work, a combat with a powerful single opponent (the "mistaken identity" combat), discovering the location of the actual villians, and a second combat with the 5 standard villians. The players finished the adventure, in BOTH slots that we ran. Having 2 GMs made a big difference. Scott was the primary GM, running the scenario. I helped with the combats, making sure that the next players to act were ready; played the villian characters; and assisted the players with any questions or problems. I realize that the actual roleplaying was limited, but the players still managed to "get into" the characters enough that Scott and I could look at each other and say, "yeah, that was how we pictured those characters when we wrote them up." And now back to our interupted discussion.

Re: Superhero Images Multi-tasking, and it still looked that good?!? I'm in awe.

Re: Superhero Images Great job Ian. I'm amazed that it only took you 90 minutes to do that. It takes me almost that long to open Photoshop Elements on my laptop. Would you be willing to do any of the others? I'd like to see a few more.

Re: Superhero Images IMO it's actually much better than a lot of the $#it that they published. It's stylized, but the anatomy is still fairly accurate. I kind of like it.

Re: GateCrasher Hero Seeing some pics of the Crusaders would be cool. Especially someone else's take on SCEPTRE. I'll be looking forward to steal... I mean seeing them. With all of the pics being posted on the Superhero Images thread (especially Acroyear's old ones) I'm being seriously tempted to pick up the pencil (and a number of erasers) and take a shot at drawing some characters. I'll have to think about this for a while. If I come up with anything interesting, I'll either PM or EM it to you. Good luck with the game tonight.

Re: GateCrasher Hero The new game sounds really cool, but I guess this means no new developments on SCEPTRE and the Crusaders.

Re: Superhero Images Acroyear, that batch of "old-school" char pics were great. If you have more, please post them. Also, did you do the artwork? Just wonderin'.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. It's OK, DT. I know they're RL friends and game group members. I'm just yankin' your chain. And truth be known, I just might have to commission a piece for one of my characters. Storn's character art rocks.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Suh-weeet pic, Storn. If you wanted to draw me something, my b-day is April 14th.

Re: Campaign Guidelines/Setting for review/my players

Re: Powers and knacks you favor for your Champions characters Almost all of my Champs characters can fly. You know the old question: "If you could have 1 superpower, what would it be?" Guess what my answer to that is. Also, almost all of my characters have different overall personalities, but they usually have one trait in common: the are "Boy Scouts" like Supes or Capt. Marvel.

Re: Has anyone played in a game like this... Many years ago our group played ourselves in a "Red Dawn" type game using Gamma World. The USSR invaded the US and we sort of became the "Wolverines". I was taken out by a 50cal mounted on a Russian tank, while we were attempting to cross a city street. This was in the 2nd or 3rd session of that game.

Re: Assisting another's skill checks That is exactly how you do it. Check under COMPLIMENTARY SKILLS on page 27 of FREd.

Re: Stats for the original Champions team Hey Red, I have the original Champions mini-series, as well as a number of the other series that were published. I think they had some of the characters statted out. Let me check and I'll get back to ya. It might not be until tomorrow though, I'm in the middle of some RL stuff right now. I also have two dozen boxes of comics to shift around and look through. I'll be in touch.

Re: AWESOME Cover!

Re: AWESOME Cover! Storn, I will definitely have to second Mr. Heine's sentiments regarding this cover. It's absolutely incredible. I'm not much of a Dark Champions fan, but since this version will contain all kinds of crunchy, modern, street-level goodness, I've been seriously contemplating its purchase. (For agents and spies and such). I do believe that your cover has sold at least one copy. (I'm sure Steve will be pleased to hear this.)
