Re: Second Best Game System ? Too bad hero couldn't get the license for that, similar to M&M having the DC License

So im trying to build a new super villian team for my campaign. Campaign is in British Columbia. What I have for idea so far is a group of convicts just escaped prison. While escaping something happens to them where they get superpowers. I want them to have common orgin, but different powers. One idea I had while on the run they escaped into the bc wilderness so I figure something happens. I'm just looking for some ideas on what would give them powers, and what type

Re: Second Best Game System ? The game system I liked most besides hero was Star Frontiers. It was simple but fun. Must have been the gyro jet pistols or the needler pistol. Also Ive tried a few times with M&M, I recently bought 3rd edition, it always seems to vaugue , like somethings missing. First Champions I bought was when I was 13, 25 years ago. It was the old box set, that came with the viper adventure battle in Christopher Park. I think ive been around HERO so long , all systems seem weird.

can you get by with 6ed basic to play champions or do you need the other books for 6th ed.

Re: Fictional citys Thats a great idea, im going to use Victoria Bc, but in the campaign world its a lot bigger than what it is. Im trying to think why it grew in size in the 1970's. Maybe a earthquake or something(Or sometype of dimensional shift increased the city size, maybe combined a city from a parrallel world).Made them rebuilt the city. Im just going to think of a new name for the city.

Im just wondering from gms when you guys use a fictional city(that you created) for a campaign, do you guys create a history of the city, or do you guys create it as you play the camapign.

Is there any published super hero adventures that are good for starting off a camapaign with. I dont care what game system there for as ill just convert them. Im just starting a campaign and with three kids dont have time to make a adventure up right now.My problem is a lot of the adventures i find have you planting plot seeds earlier in the campaign .

Re: 3rd edition Supplements Thanks guys, Ive seen the books I want on ebay and such, I was just hoping there was a place to maybe get pdf versions of them.

Is there any maps of the champions universe? im looking for like a world map,

Isd there anywhere to get old champions module on PDF. Im looking for old 3rd edition stuff like VOICE, Scourge from the Deep, Wrath of the 7 Horsemen?

Re: 6th edition I started playing hero games back when it was just champions.(the old box set). So I call hero game rules champions out of habit

Re: Vanished Villains Enemies 3 seemed to have a lot of one hit wonders. I remember the Green Knight. Also I remember Brick and Dragonfly from the early rule books

Hey Ive been away from rpg's for a couple years (kids and work) Ive finally enough time I decided to get back into the hobbie. I just found out theres champions 6th edition. Is it worth getting or is 5th edition better.

Re: Deathstroke I WAS GOING TO USE THE RCMP IN SATS PLACE

Im planning on running Deathstrokesoon for my players. My campaign is based in Canada, so i'm going to make Deathstroke canadian. My problem in that adventure Deathstroke was going to cause all the nuclear plants to melt down, if the Gov't didnt surrender.Would this idea work in Canada, or is there a better threat they could use in this country.

Anybody run these guys in 5th edition, im looking for some updated versions of them

Re: Red Ensign thanks

I'm reading Champions of the North, and Iam reading about this character Red Ensign, has anyone else read the book, if so does it say what his powers are, ive tried to find it but I cant. There were 3 versions of the character im just trying to find out what his abilities are

Re: Billionaire backer yeah i thought about using Dr Avery from the Corolis Effect for that roll

Re: Billionaire backer What type salary do you think a guy would pay the heroes to belong to the group, to offset any hardships for the heroes since they could be on a mission for weeks at a time.

Re: Billionaire backer thanks guys that helps alot

Just read Champions of the North, good book. Im going to run my new campaign and im thinking of having the PCs to be hired by a billionaire who wants to form a supergroup. im still thinking why hes doing it, any ideas why a billionaire would hire superheros to fight crime? The billionaire will be disabled and cant fight crime himself. His plan is to have 3 groups one in Vancouver, Toronto, and montreal or halifax. They will be non affiliated with the gov't. The pc's will be the Vancouver Group, the others will be NPC.s So what I basically need help with is why the billionaire is doing this, what are his motivations.Any ideas please?

Re: Best SuperHero Fights ever When Punisher shot Wolverine in the nuts.

When you are taking a hunted as a disadvantage, whats the dividing line when you have a hunted as powerful or more powerful. If i have a 350 pt character, what pt level would give him a more powerful hunted value? 400 pts, 500 pts?

Re: Best Pre-5th Edition Material? i bought strike force a while ago, its an excellent book
