So I was away from the boards for some time and found out that there is no more Legion of Heroes and therefore none of files with adventures to run at cons like there used to be.  So this means that I have to scour the internet or find someone who can help me out.  I have some new Champions/Hero players who might like this system that I so love but I would like to have something to work with.  Are there any beginning adventures available for new players to get their feet wet in or is it up to me?

Here is another one.  I was inspired from a picture in a V&V module, From the Depths of Space.

Not sure about the name though.  Might change that.

Story: Val Gunder is an humanoid alien of the interstellar empire. He is in a long line of law enforcement officials from a once savage race of warriors. When it came time for their society to develop a rennaisance they still kept their warrior but as defenders and protectors. When it was discovered that interstellar criminals were using earth as a hideout from the forces of the empire. He was sent to this planet on the outskirts and has made it his home, assuming the identity of private investigator. He then hunts down alien criminals be himself as a lone lawman of the universe.

Remember too that these are beginning characters.

Another explanation is that most people don't think that Superman has a secret ID.  He has made it clear that he is Kal-el from Krypton and that he has a fortress of solitude in the North Pole.  So many think that since he doesn't wear a mask that he is who he says he is, which he is sort of, and that their is no SI to reveal.  He is basically hiding in plain sight.

 I also want to keep the speed down so that combat doesn't move too slow.  IMO high speeds tend to ironically slow things down.

The NND is a heat field that overwhelms the target with enough intense heat to make him pass out.

I have tried to get away from this.  I see too many builds that don't make sense to me.  I don't see for instance the Human Torch having a 23 dex/5 spd since he is just a human with fire powers not an Olympic level athlete.  Just my feeling.

Has anyone seen Justice League Gods and Monsters?  It's an alternate world in which Superman is the son of Zod, Batman is Kirk Langstrom and is a science fiction vampire and Wonder Woman is from New Genesis.  Very Iron Age but pretty good too.

Ooops.  Let me try something else.

Story: Teresa Miller was an all american beauty queen that wanted to hit the big time. She got into modeliing while still in high school and after graduating went full time. But being a model is competitive and she found herself struggling to get ahead.

She then discovered that many of the models that were succeeding where using various experimental cosmetics to become even more attractive. So she started to use some questionable performance drugs only to find that they made her attractive but also ripped! Then when this transformation startled her so much that she grew an extra three feet in height.

Terrified and upset about this she immediatedly went to find the supplier only to discover he was about to get gunned down by criminal drug dealers. She quickly put on a makeshift mask and confronted the dealers in full growth. She easily overwhelmed when she found out that she was also bulletproof. When she interrogated her supplier he told him that he got it from some men in green. He also said that they would target her now that she got involved. Having no other choice Teresa took on the idenity of Titania, hoping get back to being a normal person and get her life back.

Height: 189/378cm (6'2"/12'5"), Weight: 75/600kg (165 lbs/1,320 lbs), Sex: Male, Age: 22, Race: Mutated Human

Appearance: Tall, beautiful woman with long blonde hair and body builder figure.  

So I have been on a bit of a nostalgic kick and I decided to make up some Champions characters using the BBB 4th edition using the Metacreator software.  Here is the link to Titania.

Let me know what you think.

LOL

Conan did have a rough code of honor that set him apart from other characters in his story.  He kept his word, would help those in need and never abandon a friend.

I thing the greatest obstacle to superhero role play is the D&D mentality.  Players get annoyed that they just can't kill the villains so that they don't come back.  They don't understand that this is the modern world and that simply isn't done.  I also agree that making too complicated characters can slow things down.  KISS is the way to go. 

Hello?  Does anyone maybe have this on their computer?

Ahhhh!  I appreciate what your trying to do, but the line of text with no spacing is painful to read.

speaking of tintin would the recent movie make this list?

I think so.

isn't that what DC comics renamed the bat villain king tut so they could use him without 20th century fox filing a" cease and desist order?

"Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut"

I remember when this game came out.  It was the first hero product that changed the way martial arts were done.  I had fun playing this game.  Maybe when I have the money I may consider buying it.

So am I out of luck?

Been away from the boards for a while and since I came back I noticed that one of the Champions groups that I used to belong to is gone?  Whatever happened to the Legion of Heroes?   Also where are the adventures I used to be able to access?

Those guys were nasty. I think the team brick Durak was the slowest one and he had a dexterity of 23 and speed of 5.

Looking at my copy just recently. Has anyone tried running a campaign?

So what about the rebellion itself? Will there be more information on them? I would love to try this game some day.

Re: DC and Marvel: What Makes Them Different?

I agree that the Champions Universe is more like Marvel than DC, a good thing IMO. BTW, which universe do you prefer? The fourth edition one or the fifth?
