Howdy out there,

 

Well, I'm proud to say that I might have a Legion of Superheros type game starting up soon.

 

Besides the classic Flight ring (With Mindlink comm unit.) what other little details do you think I could add from time to time to take players back to that classic comic?

 

I have a few myself, but I'm looking for extra ideas you would think about.

It may or may not be helpful, but at one time I had started writing a LSH inspired campaign book. I grew very dissatified with it and quite, but what I did is here: http://www.sysabend.org/champions/campaigns/c3k/index.html

It should probably be mentioned that Aquaman once defeated a Flash styled white martian by telepathically upsetting his Basal Ganglia. Seeing as how Namor is most certainly evolved from fish life, the resulting seizures would likely cripple him as well.

Or perhaps, being a sea creature, Namor could simply be "controlled" the same way Author controls other fishies.

Apparently he wants all magic to leave behind a residue (pixie dust?) detectable by other mages.

Fantasy Hero 4th Ed had conversion notes for D&D 2nd to Hero. I've found they work well for conversions. Also if you look around the web for a website called DungeonHero it would help. The person there converted a TON of D&D stuff to Hero4. Not the same as five I know but it's a good starting point at least

The Stuff Heroes Are Made Of

Well, the "world' is basically the world of Warhammer (with Warhammer 40K thrown in if you have the Timescape expansion).

As a setting, the Warhammer Fantasy RPG wasn't bad - if a little generic.

Reaper Miniatures has just started a line of superhero minis based on a licence of Silver Age Sentinels. Sandra L. Garrity (for those familiar) is the lead sculpter for the line.

What Reaper was showing off at GAMA looked pretty good - they aren't 25mm but they're close. Reaper calls them 30mm - which makes them a little bit smaller then HeroClix, but larger then most of the "old" superhero minis (such as teh old Grenadier DC Heroes figs).

Well, I probably won't be using Terran Empire, but I do plan on eventually revisting my earlier attempt to get players interested in a based on the Honor Harrington setting.

It's not really Ars Magica, but it's pretty similar. Browse to http://www.sysabend.org/champions/spoo/index.html and download Haymaker Article Volume 1, Issue 2.

Create a blank template of cut outs the right size, draw or scrounge some pictures, lay them out on the template, then print them on light cardstock.

I made a few sets (and then got board with the project). You can download them from here: http://www.sysabend.org/champions/spoo/CardboardHeroes.html

I converted a bunch of the creatures from Lodoss to 4th edition (should still be close enough to work). If you're interested, check out http://www.sysabend.org/champions/spoo/index.html and download Volume 1, Issue 3 of my Haymaker articles.

If you can find it, the old "Justice, Inc." from Hero Games was one of the best period resource books I've ever seen.
