Re: X Ray-ted Vision Terminal Velocity would say no - it would mess up his image... and he's 19. Angelfire would say no - she has made a point that while she is a half succubus rock star, and does the occasional sexy picture, she never ever does nudes. Ballistic wouldn't - he's a early 40s guy in a supersuit. Not really all that appealing. Sift would not. She's 23 but still a virgin - she would not be comfortable with that at all. Meeb walks around naked all the time, so he would. Black Cat would not. She considers that a private matter. If someone wants to see her nude, they have to be in a realationship with her. Given I think that stuff is a blot on society in real life, none of my characters would aside from the blob like alien.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Trippolette by Andrew Buch - Instrumental guitar centered piece that sounds like a cross between Mars Volta and Satriani. Discovered it through the Rock Band Network.

Re: Very flashy, acrobatic martial arts styles? I also tend to have "use running as another mode of movement" naked advantage, and but it as flight (limited) and superleap. This allows for run, jump, bounce up a wall all in the same movement. As for flashy martial arts - Wu shu, Capoeira and Tae Kwon do are you most in the air or acrobatic kickers.

Re: Possible HERO System Supplement Kickstarters From Steve -- What Interests You? I'd go for all of those aside from Dark Champions in the 25-40 dollar range; although I might go larger for Mythic Hero - assuming hardcopy + PDF. Any book that is just a redo of a 5th ed book of one sort or another I'd pass on - although I was thinking about the Empress book. I don't use the 6th Ed Champions universe, but just like buying M&M, SAS or Gurps Supers books, I could use elements from it in my game. There were a lot of books announced for this year and next I was going to buy. And I did love the advanced guides. I love supporting Kickstarter projects. At this point if any Hero book comes out that is new (Mythic Hero, StormLords) or that wasn't covered in 5th (Cyber) I'd get. .

Re: Your evil army Blackcat who is more an interdimensional special agent than superhero these days would just gate them all to the main city of the Pentarchy and turn them over to the leaders there. They have uses for evil people in their organization (for good ends). Might send them to a Demon controlled world and have them kill as many demons as they can or something. Sift and Ballistic would send them back to whence they came - Magic VPPs outa be worth something (Ballistic's is at 90 points right now). Meeb would keep them. The group he is with are good guys in that they fight bad guys, but they cause more property damage and other stuff than any other superteam I've played on. They are all really ugly and called The Freak Squad. It would fit to have an army of evil to do good things.

Re: Notes on current Legion of Super-Heroes members I can still see in my minds eye the panels of Him, SB and Mon flying - seen from a distance as only their blurs - and the voice saying something like "And while you are very powerful, you choose to hang around the two people more powerful than you. Which makes it so much sweeter when you defeat them" and the last panel has Jo pulled up - one leg raised - stopping his flight while Mon and SB slam into each other.

Re: Notes on current Legion of Super-Heroes members Was that the one where he was on the run for murder and suckers Mon and Superboy into move-throughing each other. I loved that issue. One of the things I liked about the Threeboot legion was Kal teaching Jo how to focus, and how to switch his focus faster. I just loved the Martial artist teaching one of the potentially most powerful legionnaires how to use his powers better.

Re: Notes on current Legion of Super-Heroes members Just don't forget to model his powers one at a time - the man that gave his name to the Ultra (fixed) slot in a multi-power.

Re: Bring Out The Old! Clown and Terror Inc I always have. I also borrow and adapt characters from other superhero RPGs.

Re: Hand Attack Power + Martial Arts I'll second that.

Re: Hand Attack Power + Martial Arts

Re: Hand Attack Power + Martial Arts Wow color me embarrassed - I was sure that was a rule, but I checked the rulebooks and 5th and 4th UMA and Ninja hero and didn't find it. House rule so ingrained that I though it official. However with the fact some martial arts get a free element if that style is designed with that weapon in mind (fencing for example) tended to support the way we approached it - 1) Free weapon familiarity with purchased attacks, 2) free W element with MA designed with that element in mind led to 3) if the martial art is designed for a purchased power (or multipower) it had free Weapon element for that power. If you have someone with a flame blast and the ranged MA is for his flame blast, then that is the weapon it was designed for. Although I can see a multipower pushing it - but we let that slide in our games.

Re: Hand Attack Power + Martial Arts Now I don't know 6th all that well, but in fifth you did not buy weapon elements for attacks you have purchased - it is assumed. So going by that, yeah, you can. To be honest I've been doing that for martial artist since 4th ed.

Re: Crossover events (has anyone else actually done this)

Re: Crossover events (has anyone else actually done this)

I haven't actually been able to play for nearly a year. So I've been thinking about some of the better stuff I've been involved in over the years.I ran a 8 or 9 year running champions game; one of the other people in the group did the same thing. We alternated. And for a single extended multi adventure story arc, we did a crossover event - we timed it when the characters in the games were pretty close to the same powerlevel. About half of the character I GMed and about half of the Characters he GMed swapped universes (keeping the player mix the same of course, so everyone could play in one universe or another). So I ran half of my group and half of his, and he did the same.... there were actual extra characters so we both ran two storyline (for 4 groups of different power levels) The end was a huge fight with everyone there and the megavillian (an alternate dimension version of one of my retired PCs actually). We as GMs enjoyed it, and from the feedback we got it was great for the players as well**. So has anyone else ever run the "big summer crossover event" that actually crossed two running Champions game by 2 GMs? **One of the bits I did in my side - when the switching was first happening I figured that it wasn't isolated to just our two universes, so I asked everyone to tell me their favorite superhero (actually in normal conversation I steered the coversation to this topic and listened)- and I wrote those heroes up and handed them out the next week and said "It would just be for this week and maybe next, but how would you like to play these guys - if you don't you can just play your normal PC" Everyone took the handouts - we spend about 15 minutes making adjustments the character sheets*, and everyone played their favorite comic hero.We had the Hulk, Cyclops and Wonder Woman for sure... I don't remember the others. Everyone actually enjoyed that bit too. * I'm sure Pariah will drop in and leave his comments - he was the other GM, and added a great Disad to his handout character.
