Re: Black Hole power

Simulating gravity in the Hero System is notoriously hard as gravity affects everything regardless of its mass, something that the Telekinesis power cannot simulate.

Re: Anyone running an online supers game?

If you still want players, I'm willing to give it a shot. I'm generally available evenings after 7PM on Monday, Thursday and after 9PM on Wednesdays. I can't do Tuesday because of my live chat game called the Crucible, Wednesday I have exercise class from 7PM to appr 8:40, and Fridays I have a Skype session where I play with my old face to face crew from 6PM-Midnight. I can play Saturday and Sunday from 1PM - Midnight, but I may have family visits and I have to stop to eat dinner from 5:15 - 5:45. Email or IM me via Yahoo, if you want to talk more.

Re: Online RPG character generator from Champions online?

It would be cool, if someone with the talents to do 3D graphics can make such a costume creator or made an open source and allowed the community to create parts.

Re: Champions Online deviantArt group

I can't join the group, but I put myself as watching it and sent a pic on as a suggestion

Re: CO: Control Issues

i believe that you might be able to make your own binds but i am not certain. I'll see if I can dig up a gamepad to try it.

Re: Champions movie

The writing and animation would have to be economical' date=' but engaging. You would have a limited budget, but hat doesn't mean you have to use limited animation techniques.[/quote']

 

How much money would it be to have an hour long animated movie run?

Re: Export 3d models from MMO

I think you can do it from WoW based on this link I found: http://www.machinima.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15826

I know offhand that CO does use pigg files, but i hadn't heard anything yet on exporting

Re: Champions movie

Maybe you need to decide which Champions edition team you want to use?

For those that missed the informative chat session with the developers of Champions Online, I have the session log recorded on my HEROphiles web site.

Look for the link on the sidebar or under News

Re: Reminder: Cryptic Chat On Monday, March 22!

Do we want to get some prepared questions together for tonight?

Re: Can I Run It?

You have the RAM, audio and CPU for the job. As for the video card, they recommend ATI Radeon HD 3850 or Better, so I think you qualify.

EDIT: Here is the link of the system requirements:

Re: Who's still playing and when?

I still play, but I cycle between CO, STO and City of Heroes/Villains. I'm hoping I'll get Psi-kick to 40 soon. It might be fun for her to take a vacation in Vibora Bay.

Re: Legal Question: the "Pink Defense"

You have a couple of problems. Even if you show up as pink, being pink is not proof of the act or conspiracy of the act, nor does it say when the person in question directed their thoughts and actions towards the corporation and the fact that the person is imposing the pink power on others could be grounds for a civil lawsuit at the very least.

Re: Good, Free Post Apoc Short Stories

This is an old story I wrote back in '95.

Re: Military Spacecraft Designations

The smaller sized craft would keep their current names. Fighters, bombers, gunships.

The larger sized craft would be the real problem as we don't currently have an analogue for them.

A carrier still seems like the most likely name for a vessel that carries smaller vessels though Traveller did provide us with another name: Tenders

I'm just trying to imagine a nuclear powered Air Force controlled fighter tender in the USAF.

Re: Thoughts about Vibora bay

I'm a bit torn by the announcement. I paid for the lifetime subscription and while I have no problem them selling stuff like premium costume parts to help fuel more stuff for the community as a whole, many people I know feel that there wasn't enough content. I admit I'm not the most religious of players, I hardly felt like my experience as I level up now has been particularly fulfilling.

I hate to try to compare CO to WoW, but the journey as I leveled up my Mage to level 25 was much more of a challenge than my rise as a superhero to my current level 33. My journey to level 50 in CoX seemed more fulfilling than CO has been to date.

Re: Using Extra Time for a Cool-Down

That was it. Thanks.

Re: I took the plunge!

Hey there, Storn.

Welcome to Champions Online.

Just so you know, we have a channel for those that frequent these boards and a supergroup that Steve Long set up called Legion of Heroes.

If you want in on the SG, sign up for the "Hero Board Chat" channel and ask for an invite or if no one is on, send me an in-game email at @cptpatriot and I'll send your character(s) an invite to the SG.

Re: Examples of Damage Negation

I once proposed to someone doing a Fantasy Hero game that Damage Negation purchased in tiers could be used to simulate Dungeons & Dragons' +1 through +5 Magic Armor.

Re: Using Extra Time for a Cool-Down

I was trying to see if the ruling in question had been published in one of the books.

I thought there was a reference in a Hero System book for using Extra Time to simulate a cooldown period.

Does anyone know where the references is or did I just imagine it?

Re: Hulk write-up from Game Trade Magazine 2003

Not to be a tag-along, but it would be cool to read also.

Re: SG Bank

So ahead and sell or breakdown the stuff, if you can.

Re: Looking for a Champion

I unfortunately fall in the same category. I prefer to play casually as well and there isn't any compelling reason to do anything as a group unless we want to organize for a particular mission that needs a full team. Perhaps if they did supergroup sized engagements, there would be a reason to do it.

The detail are essentially

• You can play inside the Millennium City crisis. Push back the invading Qularr; work with Defender, Sapphire and Ironclad to save the city; and meet other Champions along the way.
  
• You may create two different characters within our character creator.
  
• You have unlimited play time. Play as much as you like.
  

It is a nice way to judge the gameplay for yourself and test out their character creator.
