  1. Re: Implementing a magic system for Garrett, PI I'm a big fan of the series myself, so I'm happy to see someone attempting this. I don't remember much about Alchemy in the books, I'd be tempted to drop this. Have you thought about how silver fuels Sorcery? That might be what will keep Sorcerors balanced with the other characters.. -CraterMaker
  2. Re: Powers of Undeath Erm - realized I didn't explain why the idea was similar... nevermind! Chalk it up to the meds... Yah, I'd just leave it for the GM to fill in, then. Good backstory, he'll love it! -CraterMaker
  3. Re: Powers of Undeath Neat idea.. I've been floating something similar: an ancient demi-god who, when his people were destroyed, started doing odd jobs for other dieties and eventually lived in a SandMan type Necropolis as a beaurocrat... eventually, with the return of magic in the real world, he put in for retirement and became the closest thing to being worshipped he could find: Being a superhero. May I suggest that those who sent this emissary to the world are probably concerned about the rise of Takophanes? It's right on so many levels... -CraterMaker
  4. Re: Designing a show stopping villain I'm torn between having a believable justification for being a supervillain, and having a completely off the wall reason for being a supervillain.. I guess it just depends on the flava of the game to run. Either can help make a villain remarkable. -Cratermaker
  5. Re: Operation OVERDRIVE I like the idea. Mecha in Champions has allways intrigued me, from Robot Hero's and Red Doom till the present. They are easy to .. overbuild .. so they present their own unique design challenges - Can't wait to see the build! -CraterMaker P.S. - I'd keep him 15 feet tall, which would allow transport in the trailer of a big rig. Plus, it sounds as if Jack is a charismatic bloke.. Buying the mech as a vehicle should save enough points to buy a fistful of followers who serve as the pit crew for the hero.
  6. Re: Are we Ready to Rock? I dunno...are we? I like the idea of the guitarist being an alien - Do these ladies have secret ID's or are the publicly "outted" allready? I they are outed, the guitarist should have four arms - she's gotta have a double guitar, one of those seven string/12 string combos! For powers, perhaps an alien martial art and being poisonous would be enough.. throw in an origin from a high g world (say, 25 strength), make the MA based on powers rather than the m/a skills... Call her "Fury" - AKA "Georgia Stann" AKA (when her teammates are teasing her) "Furious George"... -Cratermaker
  7. Re: Operation OVERDRIVE How big is the Mecha? sorry for the short post, gotta pick up the kids - CraterMaker
  8. Re: Western Hero Resources Not an RPG supplement, but I stumbled upon this collection of of Western stuff through Amazon Dry Goods (whilst looking for costume patterns). I've only perused the Cariboo journal online stuff (great stuff there), but peeking around it seems that it's covers a pretty broad selection of stuff. http://www.victoriana.com/directory/west.htm -CraterMaker
  9. Re: Mad, Beautiful Ideas My buddy had AirBear, a cigar chomping teddybear looking alien with lil' cupid wings, kamikaze rising sun head band, shrunk to fit Iron Maiden t-shirt, submachine gun, grenades, and a really bad attitude.. Another had FireCracker, a guy who made his millions designing and selling fireworks who became a superhero. And Ginsu - Actually, he wasn't really that funny, a really good martial artist with a LOT of really sharp knives.. but his name allways cracked me up. -CraterMaker
  10. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Just picked up an Iron Maiden compilation album - "The Trooper"
  11. Re: Doc Savage Treasure Find I don't think I'll be donating these.. I'm sure I'll cherish them. But books of mine usually get read hard, y'know, with dog eared corners and broken spines.. eventually I pass them on to someone I think would like em. But... These books seem like they need to be treated a little more carefully. Just finished Resurrection Day - Doc Savage has perfected a technique to raise the dead! But he can only do it once (or at least, once every ten years) so he asks America to vote on who will be raised from the dead. Little does he know, the brilliant but evil General Ino has hatched an insidious plan to switch the body to be resurrected! Out of all the villains in history, who has General Ino chosen to further his sinister plans? Que action music... -CraterMaker
  12. Re: Support Villain Concept My take? No reason he's NOT earning money as a plastic surgeon in BevHills.. He's a rumor told at cast parties, a whisper in the back room deals of movie moguls - That theres a man who can perform miracles the canvas of the flesh, but what he wants in return is never cash or accolades... It's your soul, buddy. Your eternal soul! -CraterMaker
  13. I wanted to share with you the good news - I was out and about the garage sales in the area this morning with the kids and found a box of Bantam (circ 1963+) Doc Savage Books - 46 in all, in excellent condition, which I bought for ten bucks! Now, I'll read through them, of course.. But once done, do I put em on the bookshelf or do I take greater pains to preserve them? I really don't know much about old book markets and such, or even if they're worth Moolah (I took a glance around the web and the prices for the bantam books vary from 3 to 15 dollars..) Anybody have any advice? Thnx - CraterMaker
  14. Re: Attack type Inconsistancies Yeah, it's cludgy. How about 1d6 of no range damage = 5 points.. Ranged, +1/2, add Strength (or other stat) +1/2, Killing damage +2, BOECV +1, etc.. Might raise the cost a little bit, but starting heroes have 350 pts to spend.. If they end up shaving a little here or there on the character to pay for it, probly wouldn't change the feel of the game too much. -CraterMaker
  15. Re: Sonics - tired power, need new ideas A particular frequency of sound could be used to "Liquify" the ground - causing things to sink rapidly into the earth. This happened to Anchorage, AK, when the Great Quake hit us.. The earthquake vibrated the ground in just the right way, and the foundations did a nose dive (taking the buildings with them). True, for it to be naturally occuring, it has to happen to the right type of ground.. -CraterMaker
