  6. Multiple bricks are easy. Do not forget that people can martial dodge. Or martial throw. Offense is impressive, but remembering that you can abort and hold wins the game.
  7. The map of the Center of the Earth is now completed. Well, the crude version that some genius like Bill Keyes will turn into something awesome later! Over the next few days, I will key this map. Unfortunately, I'm going on a cruise this weekend, so this might take a little bit longer than usual. I'll let you guys know when it's done.

  10. "I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the hole in the condom of crime! I am Darkwing Duck!"
  11. Villain Tacticals are done! It's on to maps. This is usually followed by a shout of "Curse you, Object Defense Table!"
  12. A horse is a horse, of course, of course, Unless it's Radical Ed.
  13. The Oligarch and the Council tactical sheet is done. On to the King Reptillon and the Reptile People tactical sheet. Then it's map time!
  14. The Dragon-Snake sheet is done. Villain tacticals are on the way, and then it's map-time!
  15. Everything I make has a bunch of maps in it, QM. They add life to products and make them more reusable.
  16. I have finished the Dragon Snake sheet. Now for it's background, then villain group tacticals. After that, it's on to maps. Holy cow? Is it still March?
  17. You forgot the most important one. Kirk: That Tar-tar Woman makes my blood boil. Ghengis Khan: With Radioactivity! Where were you when we filmed this?
  18. At last, I have finished the dreaded Ku-Arla monkey! The last sheet is... Dragon Snake!!!!!
  19. Now that I'm home and not welcoming back my good friend Rod, I have a little time to take some umbrage with the original poster's retort. We freely offered help, and pointed out not once, but multiple times that there were a number of easy ways to get to the result you wanted. What would the need for a rewrite be? Champions is a game of fifty pages of house rules. It always has been, and it always will be. As such, it's a simple matter of reviewing what you do allow and what you don't allow, followed by calculator use. Yes, there were people who lost some abilities in my game and/or gained new ones during edition conversions. This is fine. It happens in the comics, too. I'm okay with it. While you are not okay with it, I want you to carefully consider how you sound when you use the word "perfect." Because 4th edition, too, had quite a few flaws. 1) 4th edition didn't take into account the problem of excessive use of the Aid power. While this is still a problem in later editions, in 4th it was howling, screaming, painfully difficult to deal with. The complexity of the new construction has steered people away from it. 2) Overpowered low-yield abilities with piled-on advantages. See above. While this is still a problem, it's not as prevalent. 3) Global Thermonuclear Follower. No. Really. 4) Transformation attack with no limitations and the suppress power. I've seen this in action. I've been on the receiving end of it. It is the worst thing ever. I'm glad it's gone. 5) Negative Characteristics. God, this was the worst thing ever. I'm glad that's gone, too. In 4th and 5th edition, it was far too easy to make sure that people never got an action again. 6th has mitigated this as well. What difference does the number of points make as long as the system works?
  20. And a bucket ton of insane normal followers. Maybe that goofy mustache is a power. Good to have you back.
  21. That's not a nightmare. That's awesome!!!!
  22. Every edition has it's problems. It just depends on what you think is good and what isn't. But you have to take the good with the bad. My problem comes when someone has a complaint with the system and they don't own the complaint. Well., I write for the system., so I'm just going to own the complaint. I believe that 6th is an improvement over 4th, but your mileage may vary. How much did I have to do with the new rules? Not a lot. Are there problems? There are always problems. Always. The mistake is always believing in perfection. I love this game. It's Champions. I've been playing it since I was 11. It's the best superhero system there is. There were improvements in 6th. There were a few things I wish they kept. Life goes on. The game is better than it ever was. Your issues with numbers, sir, can be handled by tampering with the numbers to make your world work the way you want. Just ignore standard effect and give characters 1 more point of defense on average per two dice, and all of your numbers should 4th editionize. Heck. I do this at home. Am I cranky that the spreadsheet for 6th didn't include this adjustment? Sure! Have I castigated people for this before? Sure I have. Simon even smoked me for it. That's fine. But the problem is, when I see a complaint, my first instinct as someone who works in customer service on a daily basis is to do two things. 1) Apologize: I'm sorry that this edition of the game doesn't meet your needs, sir. Let's get you some help in making it right with the current edition. Feel free to send me a private message, and we'll talk about what we can do to make the current edition meet your needs, and make it more fun for you. 2) Own the complaint: Yes. I'm responsible for propagating this edition of the game. I like it. It's my job as a freelancer. Let us know what we can do to make you happy. I understand your anger. I know a lot of people who feel the way you do. But I will do my best to make you happier with this edition of the game. What can we do to help you out? Let us know.
  23. The Lizard Horse is done! I had to do a huge editorial pass on the novel. That slowed this project down. Two sheets left.
