  1. Today, Millennium Guard met the Oligarch for the first time. Upon seeing the man who can summon him virtually at will, Gibraltar places Chameleon (the shapeshifter, in human form) in front of him as a shield. Keep in mind, this is like shielding a tank with a grapefruit. Gibraltar: Who are you? Oligarch: I am the Oligarch Gibraltar performs said action and flees! Oligarch: If only I didn't need what was in his head. Chameleon: I've known him long enough. Trust me. There's nothing there. Robin of the Hood: Do you really need to know about soap operas?
  2. The Overseer is complete, and I have moved on to Enforcer! His sheet is completed, and I'll start work on his background and fluff tomorrow. Once again, I apologize for the delay. If there's anything else people want, ask now. I can take one more suggestion.
  3. Walker, Texas Ranger (Oh, wait) Dick Tracy, Man of La Mancha Song of Solomon Grundy
  4. It might look very much like this: Thanks, Onion!!!!! http://www.theonion.com/articles/supreme-courts-sidekick-kid-justice-killed-by-mad,31773/
  5. Well, unfortunately, they were. Here are the major features you have to address between 5th and 6th and what they mean. If your world is thematically driven, you have to figure out what to do about Power Defense and attacks that work vs. Power Defense. Drains became 1 1/2 times as powerful because they all became ranged. Now, any idiot can tell you that 60 does not equal 90. But between 5th and 6th, that's exactly what happened. What it means: This means that unless power defense becomes more common, characteristic drains are one and a half times as effective as they used to be, because these powers now gain range for free against progressively cheaper characteristics. The two big winners were END and REC. Whereas these characteristics used to be problematic to drain, now they're truly hideous, especially END. Most characters don't have more than 50 to 60 END, nor is there a reason for them to ever buy more. Whereas before, you were being drained of about 28 END for 60 points, now you're being drained of a whopping 52. Most characters will be burning stun after just a couple actions. However, Power Defense is difficult to justify and can't be put on every sheet so easily. Stun became half as expensive, while defenses stayed the same. Players began building characters that had lower defenses (around 20) and buckets of stun, because it was more cost-efficient to do so, and you stayed on your feet while your opponent dropped like a stone. The only way to correct this, as near as I can figure, is hard maximums for who can buy how much STUN. In a fantasy game this is less of a problem, but the math remains the same. What it means: It means that attacks vs. Power defense are going to become a lot more common, in order to circumvent the ridiculously high stun totals characters can generate. Growth: Growth in 6th edition works great, except for creatures whose only main ability is the ability to change size. This is a problem because the ability's most basic use should be the ability to change your size. In-between numbers generate absurd amounts of effort and calculation for very little end result. This is frustrating.
  6. I am almost all the way through The Overseer, but last second Imaginary Friends edits have called me away. Here's hoping I can get back to this as soon as possible.
  7. Prometheus II: Epimetheus. They just forgot to make the movie, and a whole bunch of mistakes were made.
  8. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Magic Garden A Funny thing Happened on the Way to the Grand Hotel A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Chicago This can go on for hours.
  9. I'm somewhere in the middle of the Adjucator's sheet. I apologize for the slowdown, but work got in my face in a big way when one of my co-workers suffered a heart attack.
  10. This is a Hamburger Restaurant in NYC. Was this your intention?
  11. This morning, the Clockwork Guardians were finished. Sometime in the next few days, I will begin the first member of the Council, the Adjucator!
  12. Heh. My world has C.A.S.H. Citizens Against Super Heroes.
  13. The only question is whether or not we laughed. Let's face it. We're not those guys.
  14. Well, today I finished the sheet for the Clockwork Guardians. Fortunately, writing a background for this won't take that long. After the Oligarch, his council and his minions, things will slow down a little bit, but we'll get all the sheets done by June or so at the earliest, I think.
  15. Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Teenage Mutant Ninja Animal Farm Thanks for the inspiration.
  16. Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Wait! That could be good! This, however...could be considered religiously offensive. And yes, that really is Christoph Waltz as Jesus.
  17. This is so awesome that it just feeds every realistic game in the world. However, it also has a ton of champions and pulp hero applicability. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/02/25/lost-continent-discovered-beneath-indian-ocean/ I never thought I would thank Fox News. But this is really handy.
  18. Re: Journey to the Center of the Earth! A new Michael Satran product! Well, I got to Z despite still recovering from the food poisoning. Tomorrow, Clockwork Guardians begins.
  19. Re: Journey to the Center of the Earth! A new Michael Satran product! After a day of agonizing food poisoning, during which I got nothing done, I am up to P on Plot Seeds.

  21. Re: Recommended Champions Adventures? I have written several under the Blackwyrm Label that you can purchase. All of these should be available in the Hero Store or the Blackwyrm Games website. Foxbat For President (5th) War of Worldcraft (6th)-Intro Adventure. A sinister villain takes the players of an MMO hostage inside the game! Can the heroes go into the world of the MMO and rescue the hostages? Unkindness (6th)-A new supervillain, the Raven King, has appeared, stealing shiny trinkets. But stopping the Raven King will reveal an evil far more insidious, perpetrated by ordinary men. Pretty Hate Machines (6th)- Mr. Hideous, the World's Ugliest Man, has come to your campaign city to make everyone as ugly as he is! Will your heroes stop him, or have nightmares every time they look in the mirror? King of the Mountain (6th)- An evil sorcerer is going to bring Elvis back to life, and rule the world through his millions of fans! Coming at Gencon, at the very latest. Imaginary Friends (6th)- When children's imaginary playmates come to life, superheroes are called in to investigate. But not all imaginary playmates are friendly, and one of them is playing a deadly game. What secrets lie behind the doors of the Parapsychological Research Institute? And who is behind the evil of Mr. Wumbles?
  22. Re: Journey to the Center of the Earth! A new Michael Satran product! That is up to Dave and Jason. It depends on how well Imaginary Friends sells post kickstarter, how cool people think the savage worlds things are, and when it is finished during the year.
  23. Re: Journey to the Center of the Earth! A new Michael Satran product! Twelve Plot Seeds so far, and I'm only up to the letter J.
