How can a character simply change its skin color without spending too many points on a purely self affecting, non-combat power?
Something like this would still cost 3 Points, cost 1 END and require 2 ZERO PHASES to activate: Change Hair/Skin Color: Cosmetic Transform 3d6 (9 Active Points); Limited Power - Self Only, power loses about half of its effectiveness (-1), No Range (-1/2), Gestures - Must shake out hair (-1/4).
Seems a bit much for just changing your color... -
How would you build a shotgun that exists in London 1886??? - Steampunk quirkiness is a bonus!

I'm looking for as many Hero Designer files for Sci-Fi weapons. I'd especially love to see Hero Designer builds of the weapons found in the Star Hero setting book.
Does anyone have existing weapons write-ups available or know where I could find some?

Here are a few characters created with modified art (not my original art). They're from my Epic City game. A long time ago I had a huge thread about Epic City. I'm sure it's archived somewhere, but I have no idea how to reach it.

Bastion
Corona
The Badger
Freon
If you want to see more, let me know.

Am I missing something? Isn't it as simple as loose a turn (action) from both Speeds then use the new Speed?

In addition to what Rather reports below, there are other indications that a) we were there supporting Russian interests for some bizarre reason, and
forces from Chad, which has been a valuable ally against terrorist groups, had been removed from the area because the administration attempted to put Chad on the travel ban list.From Dan Rather re: Niger:
"While everyone is so busy talking about Trump's #fakepresidenthandling of his call to the widow of the soldier killed in Niger, you're all missing the important part of that story -- the part about what happened that night in Niger.
Here's what we know so far:
These soldiers went to a meeting in an area near the border with Mali. This is a well known hot spot for ISIS activity.
Our soldiers were not backed up by US Military air support. No, they were backed up by the French, who were not authorized to intervene or even fire a shot.
Our soldiers did not have armored vehicles. They traveled in pickup trucks.
Our soldiers were given faulty intel that said "it was unlikely that they would meet any hostile forces." Of course, they walked into an ISIS ambush. It was chaotic and they took three casualties.
It took the French 30 minutes to arrive. When they did, they were not authorized to help. So, a dozen of our Green Berets fought a battle with more than 50 ISIS fighters, without help, for 30 minutes.Finally, a rescue helicopter arrived, but it was not a US military helicopter. No, we apparently outsourced that job to “private contractors.” So, these contractors landed and loaded the remaining troops, the injured and the dead.
Here's where this gets really bad ....
Because they were not military, they never did a head count. That is how Sgt. La David Johnson was left behind.
That's right .... they left him behind.
According to the Pentagon, his locator beacon was activated on the battlefield, which indicates that he was alive when they left him there.
They recovered his body 48 hours later, but are refusing to say where. According to his widow, she was told that she could not have an open casket funeral. This indicates that he was mutilated after being left behind on the battlefield.
This is what led to the nonsense we're obsessing over. This is the real story. As usual, you're allowing it to be about Trump's distraction.
The Trump Pentagon gave these men bad intel, no support, outsourced rescue people and then tried for more than a week to pretend it never happened.
In that time, Trump spoke on many occasions and never mentioned it. He tweeted attacks on many but never mentioned these men.
Only after pressure from the media has he bothered to even acknowledge these men and their service."

...As the ruby-striped consular-class cruiser fills the viewport, suddenly on your ship’s viewscreen, in all his preposterous glory, is a pointyeared, male near-Human with sharp, dark eyebrows, a patch of fur on his jutting chin, and a razor-thin mustache that would be the envy of any holodrama villain. He’s wearing an open crimson shirt, strapped down at the waist by a gold sash, and he brandishes a menacing vibrorapier. His gloating smile says it all.
“Let’s not waste time, you starforsaken spawns of space slugs,” the man says. “By the authority of the Red Fury Brotherhood, you’re now Captain Reddjak’s prisoners. Cut all power to your weapons and shields, and the Blood Brother won’t blow you out of the stars.
Prepare for the pleasure of being boarded.”

Is that a whole galaxy?
Sure is... One of 3 in the TGU (the only one mapped out in such detail thus far)

Can I play in your campaign ... This would be fun.
Did PCs generally die during any adventure they went on?
PC's DO die. Not too often, but it tends to happen in clumps (two or three at a time). That happens when you combine things like the Force and Warp in one game.
In fact, tonight at 7:00 they will be tasked to ward off a Space Pirate incursion!
Unfortunately, this game isn't currently open to new players. But you're more than welcome to visit this page (and the soon to come 2 other Epic Universe threads) whenever you need inspiration or to borrow something for your own game.

On to the modern TGU...
As I began to expand the old NEMESIS game I realized one thing... 3 galaxies is a TON of space!!! So I decided to focus on one for the time being.
THE AURON GALAXY
And a closer look at The Feudal Demesne (an area devoted to Dune & MechWarrior)

So, I've had an internal debate about starting this thread since the original was destroyed years ago when the HERO forums rebooted. Finally, I decided that I will restart the TGU thread from days of old. Mostly, because I miss the conversations and insight of you all here at HERO. I received some of the best ideas and most pertinent help right here. So, call me selfish. I'm starting over. I hope that there are a few things you can find here that are amusing or interesting and that our conversations can be helpful to everyone...
Welcome to the EPIC UNIVERSE!
As some of you may know, I play a rotating set of HERO games (Superheroes, Fantasy & Star Hero). We call this triad the Epic Universe, as each campaign is set within one glorious universe.
It wasn't always that way, though. Originally, our space opera game was a stand alone game campaign based on the comic book ALIEN LEGION. We played characters in a suicide squadron, not unlike the Dirty Dozen, called NEMESIS SQUADRON.
Nemesis Squadron was a fun, episodic, hack & slash, overpowered romp throughout the Tophan Galactic Union (see Alien Legion for more details) and we loved playing the baddest of the bad space criminals. But, as things do, Nemesis Squadron came to an end after years and years of play.
Fast forward to the summer of 2012 when I restarted not only a space campaign, I built the entire Epic Universe (the Fantasy [9 Realms of Epoch] and Superhero [Epic City] games are for other forums). Since Nemesis Squadron had been so well received in the past I based my new episodic space opera on that foundation, simply calling the new game the TGU (Tophan Galactic Union). Gone was Nemesis Squadron (maybe), replaced by 3 galaxies full of as many space genre sources I could find. From Star Wars to Dune, MechWarrior to Hero’s own space races plus 40K, Halo, Firefly and much more, all could find a place in my game. Believe it or not, the crazy “anything goes” approach worked wonderfully.
So, I’m going to start off this thread with the foundation:
NEMESIS SQUADRON
Here you will find the original space game played in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s, as it was distributed to my players (complete with typos and misspellings). This game was never meant for distribution and takes from or pays homage to so many different licensed entities that I can’t even begin to list them. It was and is always intended for fun only!NOTE: Please keep posts on this thread focused on NEMESIS or the new TGU game. Thanks!

I'm still leaning toward an NND TK (Stopped by Flight/DI) that moves the victim up a few meters. Simple.

How would one increase the range of a power without increasing its effectiveness?
