Re: Queen Nightmara of The Court Of Hate (Coments Welcomed) It is plane to see that you never had someone tell you the truth, even if it is painful. And yes, I was reaching for straws when I deided that limitation. But, what the heck...lieing is for her henchwenches.

Re: New Hero System Players And Game Masters It could help if the rules were translated to japanies. Then replace all the artwork with bishojen(sp?) artwork and sell them in butler cafes.

Re: New Hero System Players And Game Masters Now that most of the jokes out of the way, the real question...how to help our hoby out so the above does not happen?

Re: New Hero System Players And Game Masters Dateline Kenosha, year 2063. The worlds last roleplayer died today. The athorities are still haveing a hard time removeing the archaic random number generators and dead plant parts from his manipulation digits. Film at 11.

Re: Queen Nightmara of The Court Of Hate (Coments Welcomed) I have a question: How would you modifie Queen Nightmara's sheet to make her more useable in a normal Champions campain?

Basicly, the question is this: In the digital age where paper is getting extremly expensive, and would-be role players would rather have a joystick in the hand than a pencel and a fist full of D6es, how can any of us old-timers atractnew gamers? How can Hero Games make such things easyer for us to do so? I realy do not think Champions Online is working as a 'you played the video game, now play the real thing' way. To joystick jockies, it is the real thing and 'Champions Offline' is fake.

Re: Hero system basic book question

Re: Monstrous Character *nod* This guy needs to spend some time going over the sourse material. Basicly super hero comic books from the silver age (at least). And see them for more than power fanticys to what thay realy are, morality plays.

Re: Monstrous Character This charater would make a decent villian. Even in an Iron Age Champions campain, she woulden't be a 'hero' (you know...sacrofices self to help others). On the other hand, 'dark heros' are a staple in comic books...heros who chose to do the right thing in spite of what there nature tells them to do. A great example would be The Demon (from DC). Spawn also counts, kinda. As does Ghost Rider. The Punisher does not count as a 'dark hero' (he, at the best, is a vigalantie, and at worse a villian who preys on villians).

Re: Monstrous Character Humm...exactly what type of campain is this charater for? You posted it on the Champions bord, but the charater dosen't realy seem like your standard comic book superheroish charater. I have to agree to use Transformation as opose to Drain as the effect (Drain always comes back, while Transformation may not, depending on what the Game Master says...and from the sounds of the charater, your the Game Master).

Re: Video Game Martial Arts (Coments Welcomed) I think I did well, concidering I was going off memory, and unfamiliarity with 6ed (even now, I only have the Basic Rulesbook, both APG books, and Hero System Martial arts, and have 6ed book one on order). Thanks for the link...I reserve the rights to add new versions of attacks I missed in this version (like Air Grab And Throw).

Re: WWYCD: The Spark! Well, Lady Heart will proably consult the Councle and The Court of Dreams about The Spark. Evently thay might come up with a perament host willing to be The Spark, or prehaps a magical way to contain it without killing it.

Re: Hero System Sixth Edition Concise Humm...any ideal about this being the next project from Hero (well, let's say after the long promoused but so far not delivered Profit And Purity book about ARGENT and IHA)?

Re: Support HERO Indirectly... Humm...my problem with the ideal of a one page Champions adventure is how do we do writeups shorthand? It was extremly posable in Champions 1-3, but in Hero 6ed, I had to work hard to give my first charater writeup of it. Doctor Dair, enougth points for a 400+75 point starting villian. I shutter at how I can shorthand my Queen Nightmara writeup. Which reminds me, I got to post her evil grace before she disintergates me.

Re: Video Game Martial Arts (Coments Welcomed) Well, acualy I am not running it. I just created the manuver set (as more of a 'generic' video game martial art style). What you do with my manuver list (and any improvments to it) is up to you.

Re: Video Game Martial Arts (Coments Welcomed) Position Shift is for 2D fighting charaters who have a limited 'dodge' ability (I'm looking at you, Fatal Fury and Samuri Showdown) and charaters with a limited dodge (looking at you, Cody Travis from Street Fighter Alpha 3/Street Fighter 4). It could also repersent the dodge ability of 3D fighters also. Normaly, 2D fighter charaters can not dodge (no eveyman dodge for them). 3D fighters can dodge. Prehaps a complication that thay have problems when it is not a one-on-one fight?

Re: Your "2012" Pet Gaming Projects My pet projects in 2012. 1) To buy enougth HERO Games books to allowe me to be conifent in writing something for HERO or an affiliated game company. 2) To write something for HERO or an affiliated game company. Right now I have HERO System Basic Rulebook, APG 1 and 2, and HERO System Martial Arts. What I am planing on writing is a 'magical girl' style Champions adventure, and an soursebook on the original org Orochi. Chances are, I'll be sumiting the same 'to do list' in 2013. So don't hold your breath, folks.

Hear is my rougth draft of "Video Game Martial Arts" using the Hero System Martial Arts book. Enjoy.

Re: Monstrous Character Well, there are the vareous types of Vampiers (thay feed mostly on blood, but blood is symbolic to life force). No, Vampiers do not need to be 'undead'. Also some other monsters also feed on blood (in the japanies mythos, Kappa are omivors which feed on blood and cucumbers). Also some alien races in fiction also feed on blood ("space vampiers", othoe non of them are undead). Just replace 'blood' with 'life force' and your good to go. Well, it depends. Does he look human most of the time and only 'changes' to his true form to feed? That sounds like being 'human looking' is his main shape and his 'monster form' a shape-shift. There are many ways to simulate such abilities, including Multiform and the power Limitation Only In Alternitive Idenity (OIAID). Depends on what you want and the feal of what your trying to do to see which way is 'right'. You forgot Standard Effect: Amount on Aid equal to amount on Drain (so you roll only one set of dice, not two, for the effect). Humm...the BODY Drain looks right. Normaly something like that is bought as an Attack Versus Alternate Defence, with the "No Normal Defence" option (Defence is not being a living thing with a life force, which is one step up from "Power Defence in the AVLD table, +1/2 Advantage, -1/2 for it being No Normal Defence for a whoping +0 advantage). Do not forget that for any AVLD attack to do BODY (even Drain) it needs the +1 power Advantage Does BODY. (Sourse, The Hero System Basic Rulebook page 64, "transfer" The Hero System Advance Player's Guide 2 page 26)

Re: Steriaca's Projects: Should I? So what Kap was saying is, when/if I write this, DO NOT put any refences to the Champions multiverse into the product. The publisher can always ask me to put a page of 'using this product with the Champions Universe' at a later date. (I wonder how the writer of Foxbat For Presadent got away with it...?)

Re: Steriaca's Projects: Should I? Well, Lady Heart is a 'magical girl' type superhero, and The Court of Hate is his (yes, his) hunted. The Members of the court are: Queen Nightmara: An evil magical queen who 'feeds' on dark emotions. Monsterin: A sentient flying cloak and staff who creates monsters ("Nightmarens") for it's queen. Lady Sorrow: Formaly Lady Joy. Murdered and reincarnated as Lady Sorrow by Queen Nightmara. Uses 'saddness' magic. Lady Pain: Formaly Lady Health before being murdered and reincarnated as Lady Pain. Uses 'pain' magic. Lady Fear: Formerly Lady Braverty till murdered and reincarnated. Uses 'fear' magic. Lady Anger: Formerly Lady Tranquility. Uses 'anger' magic. Sample Nightmaren (or two). The ideal is to do a homage to japanes magical girl anime/manga without loosing the american superhero feal.
