  1. I remember hearing rumblings about it back in the day, but I honestly can't remember who used work on it.
  2. That just means they missed. Something that doesn't happen often, but has happened. It really comes down to matter of preference.
  3. That's actually Marshall Rogers doing the art. "The Laughing Fish" was written by Steve Englehart, with art by Rogers. Great story and pretty well adapted into the BTAS cartoon.
  4. It's probably just me, but I don't see something like Darkseid's Omega Beams built as a summon. I've considered the AoE bit, and prefer the Homing bit in the other thread, in all honesty. But the build in Champions Powers, which is a summon and energy creature/creation, isn't what I would use for that kind of effect.
  5. If you're thinking of using the latest edition, Fantasy Hero Complete is your pony. The current Fantasy Hero still needs the rule books, which can be difficult and pricey to find. FHC is a one and done book that includes rules and genre info.
  6. Custom Advantages and Limitations would also be welcome. I'll take a peek at what you posted in your thread.
  7. For a missile, that makes sense. But to stat out Darkseid's Omega Beams? Never cared for the idea. I did like the +1/2 Custom Adder with a +1/4 for each successful attempt (which I'll be using in some builds).
  8. If you click on the link in the OP, you'll see the older discussion.
  9. Hello Herodom! I took a look around after not really being satisfied with the Omega Beams presented in Champions Powers, and was specifically looking for something akin to Homing. After looking at the responses, I was curious about what other custom adders folks may have used in the past. Did you have a power where you had to create an adder? If so, what was it and how did it work?
  10. Couldn't you just expand the page count with the extra stuff?
  11. What's your goal for the book's page count?
  12. I think you're right Duke. I seem to recall the poster when I bought JI back in the day.
  13. Don't tempt me with a good time. I made a few of the characters for Champions back in the day. Hmm... wonder what happened to them.
  14. Absolutely. My only request, outside of them being in good resolution, is that the trade dress not be as forefront as a cover is. In some cases that's fine, but that Perez 5th ed Champions cover? I would love to have it as a "virgin" image as they say in the comics field.
  15. Correct. I have plenty of my own stuff hanging on my walls.
  16. This might be better directed to @Jason S.Walters, but does anyone know of any Champions posters in the world? I know I'd love to see a poster of the Perez 4th ed Champions and Hero Systems books. Does the art exist in such a way that posters could be made from them? Are there hi-res images that don't have the trade dress in the same manner as the book?
  17. You know you're a Hero player when you see "PS: The Blood" and think it's a professional skill.
  18. Well, yeah, it hit me wrong Duke. We're good... but comments like the above kind of burn me a bit, as I really enjoy the game I've been playing since the mid-80s, and whenever someone looks for help that skews a bit different, I get chastised or a lecture on how I should run my game. Gods, that just makes me angry. I don't need lessons on how to run my campaign, I'm just looking for build advice most of the time. If I need help with my campaign, trust me, I will ask.
  19. Thank you, Dean. That seems to be the consensus of everyone, so I went ahead and made it just that. I had a thought that Personal Immunity might have played a role, but it didn't seem to be something needed. Yeah, I would imagine using a costume in a creative way basically a stunt of the costume.
  20. I understood what you had said, Dean. So if a costume is immune to the wearer's powers, is that Handwavium or something else? Folks mistake Unstable Molecules as being armor when it's normally not. The reason why I quoted my original question is that I was wondering if anyone built them. Instead, I got arguments on how superhero costumes are immune to all damage... which they aren't necessarily... and then insulted. It's unnecessary for a simple and honest question. Hence the heated response.
  21. But if that costume has rPD or rED, is immune to someone's powers, and can alter it's coloring or shape?
  22. Wow. Ask a simple build question, and get this? Thanks, folks. Man, since everyone knows what kind of campaign I'm running, I look forward to future comments before I even begin talking about them. I didn't realize using the system in different ways would invoke the Fun Police.
  23. Are you talking The Dark Knight Returns? Because Batman doesn't take the Joker out in that. IMHO, Joker works best as a foil to Batman. He's an intelligent villain who's psychopathic focus is on the concept and reality of Batman. Some of the recent stories have kind of shown some different sides to him. Batman: Three Jokers was an interesting concept, but seemed a bit half-baked. There seemed to be more story that should've been told for that. Whereas Batman: Death of the Family kind of dealt with the horrors of Joker knowing too much. The recent Batman stories have teased a Joker: Year One storyline that could be fun, so long as they keep the badger in the bag. We don't really need a definitive origin for the clown. He works better when we're guessing what's real and what's been slathered together in that squirrel's nest he calls a mind. I dig the villain, but then I also like a chunk of the Bat's rogue's gallery.
  24. I've got to respectfully disagree with you here, Rich. It seems every time I read a Batman or Spider-Man comic lately, their costumes are taking a beating. Seeing the armor under the Bat-costume. And don't even get me started on Daredevil. Heck, even Superman, who was once described as having a kind of protective field that protects him and his costume, has had his costume beat up. But rather than beat this dead horse, I've said all I care to about this. Thanks for the suggestions, folks.
  25. Quite a few actually. Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America... the list goes on. Heck, in the current Gang War storyline at Marvel, Spidey's costume is in ROUGH shape. Costumes get damaged all the time, and have been that way for decades. Heck, in Daredevil Fall from Grace, Matt was wearing rags practically.
