    He will be missed. 

     

    And if you actually take stock in Isakai style reincarnation, he is newly reborn in his favorite fantasy world right now. Have fun Darren Watts. 

     

    It's a beautiful thing to think of Darren being reborn in an eternal World Series where the seventh game never comes to pass.

     

    As for me: I honestly can't get my head around his death. It doesn't seem real.

    The Hero System 6E Character sheet does not seem fully compatible. Just looking at Apex, the character has lots of stats at zero. How do we import Characters from HERO Designer? I'm very confused by this package so far.

     

     

    (From Carlos, the creator of the Champions Roll20 project)

     

    The reason why many of the stats are at zero is because the adventure introduces players to the game mechanics little by little. The abilities and characteristics that are zeroed out have not yet been introduced for the particular adventure chapter. 

     
    All the character sheets are spread out throughout all the various chapters and abilities and powers are introduced slowly. There are five folders, one for each chapter containing character sheets for each chapter. The final completed character sheet for each pre-generated character is in chapter five in the pregens folder. 
     
    If players want to play the Viper’s Nest adventure with the full characters then they should use the characters under the chapter 5 pre-generated character folders. 
     
    As far as importing characters from Hero Designer, here is a link for a video that teaches how to do it.

    Do I understand that this is just a sort of ready reference for players and GMs while in Roll20? Does it feature any sort of combat tracker? 

    It doesn't feature a combat tracker, but does give you an online tabletop environment to play Champions in, an adventure, and access to the rules in the form of Champions Complete. So basically everything you need to play Champions with online.

  4. Those are specifically *not* Hero Games property. We have the right to sell them in their Hero System format - and possibly even include them in a hypothetical future collection or the like - but we/Cryptic Studios have no rights to characters created by you unless they are specifically  created by you as part of the Champions Universe, or some of our other intellectual property.  We cannot sell them, license them, create T-shirts with their likenesses on them, or anything like that.

  5. I didn't know it existed either until a few weeks ago, when I received Michael Satran's Hero System collection thanks to the efforts of some mutual friends, which contained a floppy disk of it. It seems to have been a very early electronic-only Iron Crown era Hero System product (#HH4). It's 78 pages, and was written by Edwin Millheim, Grant Scheiber and Krista Fells. It was developed for Hero Games in 1998-99 by Meridian Designs Freelance Group. It has both Hero System and Fuzion System write-ups, and is intended for use with Champions campaigns in which the GM wants to interject Horror elements. 

  6. You are mistaken. Cryptic Studios has the rights to the Champions Universe as described in the 5th and 6th Editions. They do not have the rights to the Hero System, and we have a more-or-less unlimited license to produce more Champions products in any case. So there is no conflict here. 

  7. You know - that's a good point Brian. Thank you: I didn't do a good job of explaining that. If we hit the stretch goals, I'm just going to send every backer the appropriate deck or decks, depending on what level they pledged at. (For example, electronic only backers will only get the electronic only files.) I'll do an update and see if I can change the explanations in the "story."

    Please take my $s now ;-)

     

    If there is artwork please try to mix up male/female and ethnicity - it helps to sell to a younger generation and women.  Also ask the artist to not create a bunch of female pinups.  My wife, daughter, and other women I game with hate that.

     

    There won't be room on the cards for human figures, attractive or otherwise. Just lots of text.

    The stretch goals will include a second "booster" deck filled with more Ability cards, and possibly a Dark Champions deck. We'll see how it goes. If the project does well, I'll think about a Fantasy Hero Deck KS.
