Re: Suggestions for any campaigns? Ok, forget my last messages. What if I wanted a Doctor Who campaign? Does anyone know?

Re: Suggestions for any campaigns? Rude...

Hey, I've been gone a whole year. I decided that I'll give either Champions a try or Space Hero. But can anyone show me examples from your current campaigns? I need inspiration. Thank you

Re: Ouch. I can't come up with anything! Actually don't bother replying, this is a pointless topic...

I don't know which defines my like for superheroes... I don't know whether I don't like this genre or which hero fits my criteria. I know we went through with this already but my ideal character is someone with powers, a handful of gadgets and no flight powers. Instead of using skin to deflecting bullets or firing blasts from the hands, I like something with plenty of action. What do you think is my real problem...?

Re: Finally, I bought the game! Only one problem... I'd better steer clear from those sites...

Re: Finally, I bought the game! Only one problem... Don't worry, I found a site that's giving the complete basics of the game. All I need to do is print them off bit by bit and enjoy!

Re: Finally, I bought the game! Only one problem... Don't worry I found something!

Re: Finally, I bought the game! Only one problem... Damn it! I forked over £19.99 for the game! Can anyone scan some of the Hero System handbook for me or show me a fan site where I can find examples? I would really appreciate that!

I didn't know you need the Hero System handbook! Man, please tell me you don't need it that much! Please tell me it already has the basics of everything!

Reading the X-men I've noticed that Warren Worthington's charming good looks and attitude towards crime fighting makes him more of an angel. However, Marvel doesn't imply that its characters are god-like. And then again, reading Kingdom Come from DC has made me realise that Hawkman, alongside the future JLA is called one of seven angels. I don't get it! Hawkman is more of an anti-hero, not an angellic hero! Weird, huh?

...out of household items? Anything on paper mashe (if that's how you spell it) and I would appreciate it. Creating actual minitures stretches your imagination rather than counters. Who uses counters?

What the heck is happening with this sexual revolution? And back then super females were perfect the way they were! If you had the job of making comics and you could remove this and another feature, what would the other one be? I would wanna get rid of the unnecessary blood that comes out when someone gets hit, even though it is realisitic...

I find it hard to talk about a decent subject. Where do you get juicy superhero gossip from? What can you NOT talk about or mention? And structure...

I mean look at us! We always want to come up with something new and some of us plainly dream of owning our own comic book company. Ever since the 70's, ideas have been taken by DC and Marvel. I want to create an original hero or heroine but I can't because my mind tells me to inspire other ideas! In the meantime, who here has ever wanted to own a comic book store?

Re: Quick! Help me decide! Its okay you can take your time...

Re: Quick! Help me decide! I didn't get the game yet but I did however come up with an idea thanks to the last reply. My personality is that I feel patriotic, scientific and a little bit of an angelic/god type hero. I have hero concepts, which one matches me? The Griffin - origin: Zabe Zolac was banised to a near-eternity after betraying his race. The ancient talismans known as the Zola bands housed his spirit. Discovered by the enviromental scientist, called Naythan Newman, he was freed and his spirit merged with the scientist after an industrial sabotage. The Griffin, a symbiotic hero, uses the bands to convert magical force into increased strength and healing abilities. This hero wears wings to cleverly show his themes and has the powers of an ancient hunter. Silver Bullet - origin: After his neighbourhood was struck down by a violent rise in street crimes. Ex-police officer and scientist Cain Abel created a gravity-defying belt and bullet-shaped graviton helmet to fly and perform incredible powers. He then put his mantle to the test and defended the neighbourhood and Cardinal City from alien-based control devices that caused the rising surge of crime levels.

Re: Quick! Help me decide! I don't know really... Sometimes, I think I really need to research various elements of the world to come up with an idea. I used wikipedia, dictionaries and looked at certain heroes and items and its still that hard. I mean look at Marvel! How do they do it!?

Re: Quick! Help me decide! What I'm basically trying to get at is that I'm trying to come up with originality though most of the best superhero ideas were taken. In other words... 'CURSE YOU DC COMICS AND MARVEL!!!'

Re: Quick! Help me decide! I was kinda thinking of something without powers like energy manipulation. I kinda came up with a crime fighter alternative to DC's Pied Piper. His magical flute grants him beneficiant powers that reflect musical moods. Like teleporting to a realm of relief (e.g. line-of-sight teleportation), the ability to hide angry feelings through music (e.g. invisibility) and vise versa. He wields a few small gadgets such as a grapnel and even possesses great martial arts and bird-like sensory powers. Mainly 'cause birds make music...

I'm getting the game tomorrow and I can't decide which of all these would suit my playing style! - Superhuman or regular human hero - Flight, super speed or land movement vs vehicles - Weapons or super powers The themes I would choose for my hero are usually mythic and I kinda like flying sometimes, but only for wings. This does lead to a crisis where I figure out winged heroes are less superpowered. Other things I enjoy are powered armors, next to wings, and some gadgets like Iron Man's transistors. My favourite superhero has got to be the Flash or Green Lantern (I can't tell which one I perfer the most). Then again, I feel the need to add a universe or remodel the Champions Universe into my own design so everyone would look and feel like House of M characters. So the big question is...which hero would best suit me?

Re: Once I get a job... What shops in particular?

How much will it cost me to have the game books shipped to the UK? I am already buying the 1984 edition just to taste the first and easiest rules and then I might the more revised editions.

...a free trial for the hero machine. Drawing my own heroes is tougher than having a generator do it for me. I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me a link or even let me have a free download. You'd all be my heroes!

Re: Your vehicle pictures Nice , but dude where is the picture ? I wanna be able to draw by looking at inspirations ...
