Re: Saiki, Leader of Thirteen Cuts (Villain) For some reason, I read the thread title as "... Master of Thirteen Cults". Strangely, that sounded more interesting...

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? DEFAULT range. Deviations from which are legitimately in houserules territory. Understand me, houserules are not in any way a negative. But expecting published material to substantially deviate from the defaults (even suggested ones) is not realistic, IMO.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? Given that, by RAW, Superhuman DEX starts at 31, none of the sample characters published for 6e thus far have Superhuman DEX. If you consider DEX in the 21-30 range to be superhuman, you have departed from RAW and entered Houserules territory. Expecting published material to support or otherwise reflect your houserules is unrealistic at best, hubristic at worst.

Re: Chocolate in Pre-Columbian New Mexico Whereas the violation of property rights that motivates such behavior always raises my hackles. Fair compensation would prevent a lot of this behavior.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? Except that I'm not all that enamored of the Metallic Ages structure for discussing tone and tropes, because A. none of the Metallic Ages were monolithic, B. there has been a lot of overlap, and C. the stereotyping of each Age has led to a lot of inaccurate perception about each, such that any discussion them would not necessarily match the expectations of any significant percentage of the readers.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? Throw in "Cinematic/Movie" and you've got yourself a deal.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? I've actually thought about building a Team as a pseudo-character. When PCs purchase a Membership perk, they get access to everything the Team has - Reputation, Hunteds, Bases/Vehicles, whatever.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Now he'll never get it written!

Re: Villain Archetypes? I forgot that one. I think I mentally associated that with the Lieutenants, but it should stand on its own. Sometimes, though, the Big Bad is their own Dragon...

Re: Villain Archetypes? 1. Big Bad - the brains behind the plot 2. Lieutenants - the ones who run the various parts of the plot 3. Mooks - the ones who make the plot happen, under the direction of a Lieutenant. The rest is just SFX.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? As a reference for a different presentation of the genre (i.e. a non "Ages" presentation), check out GURPS Supers for GURPS 4e. Just ignore the mechanics (which aren't included in that section of the text anyway). What? I shelf-browsed...

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? I like. You could definitely have Superheroic settings that differ significantly from the primary genre tropes of the superhero genre. Do. Not. Want. A "non supers" group (such as super-agents, SpecOps, etc.) in a superhero world, sure. But Heroic and Superheroic are oil and water - they don't mix. At all. That Way Lies Madness*. *"Madness" = "hard game mechanical boundary line between non-super and super"

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Public, no doubt.

Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See? Thirded. Also, perhaps some discussion about "non supers in a superhuman world" from a game mechanics perspective, should you be willing to open that can of Elder Worms...

Re: "He's bulletproof", "Fireproof", etc. Very, very elegant... thanks!
