Re: Horizon Academy (Teen Champions) Notes I've always liked Teen Champions, probly because my favorite RPG system is still 1987's "Teenagers From Outer Space." some of the tropes In TFOS include: Superteens attend *regular* schools. Most superpowered teens in TFOS are exchange-student aliens (thus the title), but it can be extended to any world where maybe 1 in 1000 or so are supers. Rather than collect them all in one place, they attend regular high school. NO killing attacks should ever happen. Ban them from players, convert any premade KAs into equal nd6 attacks. The less the chance of death, the greater the chance that your players will try something stupid (and thus have fun doing it). As teens, try to enforce normal cha maxima on everything except strength. And even STR should probably be limited to probably 30 The weirder you look, the more crowds gather around you. Even if you're just going to the store for milk! Socially, being Cool is more important than Looks, and Looks are more important than Brains. A good put down can hurt more than a power blast, and being embarrassed is worst of all. -- PRE attacks can optionally do stun. Before parents accepted that superpowered teens would be attending schools with their kids, the government created the (in TFOS) Alien Control Squads. Federal agents in black suits and shades with way too much firepower and only bare competence ("We had to nuke the school to save it"). you could rename them the "Federal Anti-Super Truancy Officer Corps" -- they should worry your players in large groups. but more from their potential collateral damage than heavy damage to your PCs (a sizable group can still capture a lone teen and return him to school...but they'll destroy half the block doing it). The Coach: The P.E. Teacher is an ex-Marine drill instructor who quit the Marine Corps because they weren't tough enough. He's here to make 'men' out of you 'creampuffs' (even if you're female). Miss Maray. Art Teacher. Highly competent teacher, but COM 25. Art is a very popular class. Her competence is not the reason. Mrs. Tremaine. Dietician. Biddy-eyed cafeteria lady. Responded to the needs of dozens of alien physiologies in a unique manner: Keep serving the same slop they always have -- it wasn't really meant for Human consumption, anyway. The Vice Principal He's about 6-foot-6, 325 pounds and the only fat in there is the hot dog he had for lunch. flattop so perfect you could use it for a plumb line. Takes no nonsense from anyone. And wants to speak to you about your grade point average. If you don't mind, of course. Oversees most detentions (and no, you won't get past him) The Jocks: a roving gang of troublemakers. On the Football/Basketball/Baseball/etc team. has some member in there that can annoy each PC but cannot be taken on physically -- they're just better at whatever physical activity. Instead, they have to be outwitted. The Rival School -- The big Game is a good plot. The whole team fell sick and now the PCs have been pressed into service to replace them. Best with a game where the PCs powers don't break the game.. No football for teleporters, for instance. If this means the Big Game is golf, don't sweat it. Keep action moving (this is good for all RPGS) if the Players are getting bored or arguing with themselves what to do next, throw a monster at them!

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central Here is Kyudo Kat, my submission: BACKGROUND Benjamin Stearns was born in Pasadena. An obvious mutant from birth, he was abandoned by his parents. He grew up in an orphanage and in a series of foster homes. He grew up on the streets more than receiving much guidance until his 16th year. Unlike other mutants he didn't manifest any significant powers. At 16, he was caught shoplifting and sentenced to a boot camp for youthful mutant offenders. The MEF ran the camp for troubled youth, but the camp was administered by various known supergroups on a rotating schedule. Luckily for Benjamin, The West Coast Avengers were helping out while he was there. He caught Hawkeye's eye -- Ben, unlike any of the other mutants in the camp, showed no sign of powers. Hawkeye undertook to befriend the young catman. After getting out of the camp, Benjamin straightened his life out, finished high school, and got into college where he studied mechanical and electronic engineering. Hawkeye's skill in archery and his own interest in the martial arts lead Ben to study Jujitsu and Kyudo (the art of the Bow) while in college, becoming a master of both styles by the time he graduated. following in Hawkeye's footsteps, Benjamin made a variety of unique arrows as a way to practice his engineering skills. His Zen calm makes him a unflappable presence (High PRE) and helps him resist mental coercion (High EGO). His training has put him in the peak of human physical condition. With his skills second only to Hawkeye, Ben adopted the name Kyudo Kat and set about heroing in Los Angeles. A skilled detective, he has a legal detective liscence and doesn't bother to have a 'secret identity.' In the last few years, he has managed to upset the Yakuza by spoiling several of their plots. Only a few months ago, he managed to disrupt a major plot of the Hellfire Club in Van Nuys. It was this event that brought Kyudo Kat to the attention of Hank McCoy. McCoy has asked Sterns to join his New X-Men as a trainer and member. as Hank put it, "Kyudo Kat can remind us that all of us should use any ability, no matter how limited, to the betterment of mankind." Rumors have circulated among the X-Men both old and new that Ben's parent(s) could be Feral or Wild Child, or perhaps both, longer shots suggest Hank "Beast" McCoy is Ben's mutant Parent. Ben has no idea, but doesn't dismiss it either. Some wilder speculation suggests Kitty Pryde. (Its not true, but that doesn't stop the rumors). APPEARANCE: A fit, well muscled man with feline facial features including slit pupils, a feline split lip, whiskers and large ears, plus a long tail. usually seen in either a brown trenchcoat and suit, or a tiger-striped jumpsuit. Both are made from a high-tech, Kevlar-like substance that bends easily. He also usually carries a high tech compound bow and a quiver of many specialized arrows.

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central I have a couple of ideas: Kyudo Kat: a mutant with no actual mutant powers, just in appearance. Not related to any previous X-man, instead a master of Zen archery, trained by Hawkeye as an archer in the Hawkeye/Green Arrow mold. Will have NCM! distrusted slightly by normal humans for being a mutant, but also looked down on by most mutants for not having powers. Squirrel Girl: I posted a 350 point version with generally 30AP abilities a few months ago. Since she's a current, known mutant, she might not be appropriate for someone 30 years in the future. Basically a martial artist with the ability to command Squirrels like Aquaman commands fish, and an uncanny ability to beat the most powerful villians in the Marvel universe -- usually by spotting a weakness and exploiting it.

Re: [Character] Squirrel Girl This thread from a completely different forum lists all Squirrel girl's victories, complete with scans http://www.killermovies.com/forums/437077_1-respect-squirrel-girl

A favorite of mine from the Marvel Universe, a cosmic joke on the entire Marvel line (she can beat ANYONE, in spite of being justifiably goofy). To reflect her 3rd rate Superhero position, most powers (except the Summon and find weakness) are at 30 Active Points. Even the Exceptions have low values after limitations are taken into account. The 'Forcefield' is just natural toughness, and could be Armor if a GM wishs to allow it in the EC. Find Weakness is my choice instead of insane levels of Luck to explain how she beats MODOK, Thanos, Doctor Doom, etc. She regularly seems to be able to spot an exploitable weakness, but never seems to display overwhelming powers. Here she is (I'd put it in the usual table if I knew how): Squirrel Girl Val Char Points Total Roll Notes 30 STR 20 30 15- HTH Damage 6d6 END [3] 30 DEX 60 30 15- OCV 10 DCV 10 20 CON 20 20 13- 15 BODY 10 15 12- 10 INT 0 10 11- PER Roll 11-/14- 11 EGO 2 11 11- ECV: 4 20 PRE 10 20 13- PRE Attack: 4d6 16 COM 3 16 12- 14 PD 8 14/24 14/24 PD (0/10 rPD) 14 ED 10 14/24 14/24 ED (0/10 rED) 5 SPD 10 5 Phases: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 10 REC 0 10 40 END 0 40 40 STUN 0 40 6" Running 0 6" 2" Swimming 0 2" 6" Leaping 0 30" Total Characteristics Cost: 153 Cost Powers END 5 Semi-Prehensile Squirrel Tail: Extra Limb (1) 0 5 Nightvision 0 3 +3 PER with Normal Smell 0 30 Squirrel Powers: Multipower, 30-point reserve 2u 1) Claws: Hand-To-Hand Attack +6d6 (30 Active Points); Hand-To-Hand Attack (-1/2) 3 3u 2) Knuckle Spikes: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 1d6+1 (2 1/2d6 w/STR), Penetrating (+1/2) (30 Active Points) 3 3u 3) Claws: Clinging (50 STR), Inherent (+1/4), Persistent (+1/2) (30 Active Points) 0 3u 4) Leaping +24" (30" forward, 15" upward) (Accurate) (29 Active Points) 3 1u 5) Gliding 20", Position Shift, x4 Noncombat (30 Active Points); Limited Power Power loses about half of its effectiveness (Only in Trees; -1), Ground Gliding (-1/4) 0 15 Squirrel Powers: Elemental Control, 30-point powers 15 1) Tough: Force Field (10 PD/10 ED), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (30 Active Points) 0 14 2) Summon 32 20-point Squirrels, Loyal (+1/2) (43 Active Points); Arrives Under Own Power (-1/2), Summoned Being Must Inhabit Locale (-1/2) 4 10 Fearless: +20 PRE (20 Active Points); Limited Power Power loses about half of its effectiveness (Only to defend against PRE attacks; -1) 14 Find Weakness 12- with All Attacks (35 Active Points); Limited Power Power loses about half of its effectiveness (Only vs. those who exceed her point value by more than 100 total character points; -1), Costs Endurance (-1/2) 3 Notes: Find Weakness is how Squirrel Girl tends to 'Punch above her weight class' -- defeating cosmic-level villians: defeating Modok by throwing Tippy Toe where his weapons couldn't reach, defeating Bi-Beast by smell (He had to hold both noses, leaving him defenseless), defeating Deadpool by bleeding injuries too small for his healing factor to kick in, and so on.

Re: I am a comic book dinosaur. Speaking of this, the MMO City of Heroes comic (the first, 12-issue series, made 2004-2005) is a good read of two heros fighting villainy in a city so full of supers they seem to be 10% of the population. The MMO itself has a silver age sheen over some VERY dark storylines.

Re: I am a comic book dinosaur. I'll agree with the animated Justice League (the whole DCAU from 1992-2006 in fact: Batman: The Animated Series, Superman, New Batman Adventures, Static Shock, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Batman Beyond, and the animated Batman Movies: Mask of the Phantasm, Sub-Zero, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker). these form a single continuity, where Batman was the first superhero (the Origin Episode of Superman has Martha Kent telling Clark to beware of that crazy guy in Gotham City) -- probably starting around 1987 or 88 (Mask of the Phantasm), Supes gets startted in 1995, Staic in 1996, the Justice League is founded in 2000, and so on, and going forward into the 2040s (Batman Beyond). Of course, I like the cosmic joke on the Marvel Universe that is Squirrel Girl, and her statement about the dark, angsty world of comics since the late 1980s: "I prefered when comic book worlds were places you wanted to escape to, not escape from!"
