Rumor has it that we're doing an update of SA:CoH. That being the case, we're going to need conversions of the old character write-ups to H6.
 
PLUS we're going to need 6E write-ups for the NEW characters and updated characters (the "Where are they now?" gang, 'cause after 20 years people change).
 
If you have the requisite software and are interested in doing conversions and submitting character files to us on spec, contact me (goldrushpub@gmail.com).
 

I'm still plugging away on the document and I have added a new spellcasting mechanic to the setting.  The mechanic is called a "Mythic Breach" and it's a tear in reality that has an increasing probability of happening depending on the number of failed spell rolls in short period of time in a set area.  All Blooded magic has this side effect and by extension has a chance of creating a Mythic Breach on a bungled cast.
 
 
 
 

Has anyone done Conversions of the San Angelo sourcebook?

One of those things, guaranteed.  You're not special - there's no special code in the site that said "if dmjalund visits, show the mobile version"

Oh lord - when it's spelled out like that it was so easy to find everything; and here I was fumbling around like the Cleveland Browns (prior to this past season...).
 
Thank you so much for replying - you're a life saver!!!

Actually, let me make part of this easy. Here are all of my V&V to Hero (5th ed) conversions in one convenient zip file located on my Google Drive.
 
Enjoy.

I also have cardstock stand-ups of them somewhere on my computer if needed.

If my centaur character plays Twister against the Grim Reaper with my soul on the line, I could put a hoof on each of four spaces plus my hands on two more spaces without straining.
 
That's Extra Limbs in my book, baby!

From my youth group game:
 
Red Cloak (sorcerer type) :
I  can totally snare them all!  Watch!  I draw my silver spider amulet, (grabs dice) leap into the room, with the amulet primed, and cast (rolls 18 on his Activation roll)....  Aspersions...  On all of them...  And their families..... 
 
Red Cloak again (the oldest player, at fourteen, and the slowest to come around, but he's really been on fire the last couple of sessions) :
 
Now I suggest you all surrender, immediately, and this will be over painlessly. 
 
Thug leader:  If you could back that threat up, you'd have done something already.  Get him, Boys! 
 
Red Cloak:  there is a very good reason I don't just fill this chamber with lightning bolts and electrocute you all! (player pauses, thoughtfully for a moment, the resumes).  Fortunately, I don't remember it right now. (rolls dice)

One costs more END than the other. Normal Growth and Super-Growth, as it were.

I have all the Adventurer's Clubs... I'll have to dig that one out. Haven't looked at 'em since the '80s or whenever they came out.

You know, it wouldn’t be too hard to make your own cards and add them to the decks. They may not look the same, but who cares? You could replace the cards you don’t like with ones you prefer. 

Picked RDU Neil's comments because they include a lot of things I wanted to comment on.  Saw it on Friday.  I place it more "middle of the pack", but I'd rate WW quite a bit higher.  That may, in part, reflect Marvel having set a bar much higher than DC.
 
 
I'd say the point was linking this movie to characters seen in later space Marvel movies - more cameos than roles.
 
 
I felt the Flerkin use was over the top, and could/should have been markedly toned down. The theatre laughed pretty loud, though.
 
 
As a disguise ability, the "warrior skrulls" seems pretty effective shape-shifters.  The others, as noncombatants, had no real use for it.  But I don't think MCU Skrulls are capable of as much variety as comic book Skrulls.  Someone had to be "the resistance/refugees", and picking an established Marvel race with enmity to the Kree seems reasonable.  Looks like we will not be seeing a "Kree-Skrull War" - it's over and the Skrulls lost.
 
 
Fury's eye being played for a cheap laugh was, to me, the absolute low point of the film by a long shot.  Fury's inspiration for the Avengers made sense to me, and made for a good closer for his arc in the movie.
 
 
I don't think it was "her big line", but I did find it refreshing to have her not take Yon-Rogg up on his challenge.  Why should she?  She had already found herself, and that was the real conflict of the piece.  Having her not put up with his crap was a refreshing change from the usual "huge set piece fight with antagonist" ending.
 
 
The plot must have been a challenge.  Comic geeks know who Kree and Skrulls are, but moviegoers don't.  Could MCU  make Skrulls the Bad Guys and Kree the Galaxy's Protectors? Sure - we've never seen Skrulls before, and the only Kree we've seen in MCU (as opposed to AoS) were extremists in GoTG, who could be a fringe element (as could a criminal group in AoS - we know little about the Kree in MCU general).  They didn't take that route, but they could have.
 
Much of the movie surrounded Carol discovering how powerful she really is, and how to harness it.  And the comics have plenty of characters take out missiles and starships, but struggle toe to toe with humanoid opponents.  I'm not sure we really have a handle on her power level as compared to IW Thor, as a high powered example.  He took out the whole invasion force in Wakanda - what's the point of the rest of the team, who were being opverpowered brutally at the time?
 
Departing from other commentary, on reflection I like how much of the Captain Marvel history they managed to use in some way.  She still gets her powers from an accident with Kree technology, and looks up to a rogue Kree (still named Mar-Vell).  Her working with the Kree only to discover, while stuck on Earth, that the Kree are not the good guys, was a nice homage to Mar-Vell's own journey of discovery.  Her memory loss tips the hat to a similar loss to Rogue in the comics.
 
I liked the use of the Rambeau name - Monika should be old enough now to become Photon as more than Mom's call sign - perhaps that is in the works (or at least the back of someone's mind).  The audience got all excited for a female Superhero and a black Superhero - I wonder what a female black Superhero could do to the movie sales...but that's a character who is obscure even by MCU standards.  But even if it was just one more Easter egg for comic readers, it was another element of the comic Captain Marvel mythos.
 
I also liked the fact that they appear to now be focusing on her energy-based powers, so she's not one more Marvel Martial Artist (I liked Dr. Strange, but would have liked it more if he were a spellcaster, not a martial artist with glowy weapons - I'm glad IW developed more in that direction).  Perhaps Endgame will highlight  the limits of her powers.  Maybe she could "go nova" in this movie because she had stored up a lot of energy over 6 years of suppressed powers, but can't maintain that pace forever.
 
What I did not like in the plot - she's that powerful, but they just integrate her into a Kree military subunit for six years and hope it will all work out?  That was a major conceit in the movie that does not hold up well to close inspection.  But then, the Supreme Intelligence always thinks many steps ahead - maybe there is a reason (for some aspiring movie maker to reveal a few more films down the road, if they did not think it through yet)  In the comics, the Kree are at an evolutionary dead end and SI is looking for a way to spark them into evolving.
 
One element missing was the Kree politics of blue versus pink Kree, but that could reasonably have been kept hidden from "Vers" during her time on Hala by minimizing her contact with political issues.
 
Overall, a decent popcorn movie, and as a flashback to introduce the character, it could  not have been a lot more.  Some items (flerkin...) I could have lived without, but overall not a bad addition to the Marvel stable.

I know M&M is its own RPG. I was unfamiliar with Emerald City, which is a supplement to the M&M system of games.
 
I hope this clarifies any confusion.
 
@Mark Rand I have used modules from V&V and M&M in hero system; so I see no reason why you couldn't import this one too.  However, you will need to transpose things into Hero terms!

Word of warning: Do not use that kind of language at the movie cat. It will take exception.

The robotic head's eyes lit up.  "Alert!  Alert!  The Conquerors are currently robbing the Fifth-Third bank branch on Sixth Street!"
 
"Do I have to go?" asked the tall, dark-haired man.  "Don't you know, Juan is a lover, not a fighter."
 
"If we have to go, so do you," said the lovely lady Too.  She replicated, and her duplicate ran to grab a selection of martial arts weapons for the pair of femmes to use while her original grabbed spare batteries for their force field belts.  "Besides, I've seen you use that blaster pistol of yours.  You're a lover and a fighter.  Tray, could you please remotely power up the ship?"
 
"Already done," said the robotic head.  "I am connected remotely and ready to be placed on the link-tray in the cockpit for direct interface." 
 
Juan removed the head from it's sitting room link-tray and carried it out the door.  "And where is Fore?"
 
He may be pretty, but he's not all that smart, thought Too-1.  Agreed, thought Too-2 over their mind link.  "If I was to hazard a guess, I'd say that he saw this coming through his 'Fore-sight' and is already in the ship, strapped in and ready to go."
 
"That is correct," said Tray.  "He also directed me earlier to ensure the ship has a full load of fire extinguisher foam in the forward sprayers."

"Did he say why?" asked Juan.
 
Too-2 shook her head.  "Does he ever?  Honestly, things would be much easier if he shared what he sees in those prescient visions of his."  Too-1 added, "But noooo, doing so would 'endanger the time-flow.'  So we have to guess."  They both followed behind Juan as they ran to the ship. 

He was on hospice all of 3 weeks.  Passed away this past Thursday afternoon, peacefully and in no pain, with family and friends by his side.  I missed being there by 5-10 minutes, but at least he wasn't alone.  And I got to see him practically every day for the last few months, and spent about 4 hours with him Wednesday evening. 
 
This was a man who finished high school and worked his way through college during the end of the Great Depression, flew B-24 bombers out of Italy during WWII, and not a word of complaint.  Even taking into account my own bias, I think he was one of the greatest men I've ever met, and I was blessed to have him as my father, and in my life as long as he was. 

That Grindlewald thing (with the wife). 
 
I have decided that Newt is in fact a pokemaster (is that the right word?) 

It's quite detailed.  Of course, I'd used the Champions equivalents of the organizations they mentioned.

Supergirl meets world

Ever wonder what happened to him?

He tried to steal Hannakah and Kwanza also and is now serving a life sentence in Stronghold courtesy of California’s three strikes law.

Justice is served.

I think dice pools are a pain in the butt.
 
I'm amazed at the number of people who can't glance at 6d6 and add up the number quickly in their heads. So increasing the number of times everyone has to roll a large number of dice plus increasing the number of dice isn't appealing to me.

As part of a game that a friend is going to start, using Champions, I re-created an ancient character of mine, Grimknight. He was originally a Champions character, then a Mutants & Masterminds character, and is currently a Bulletproof Blues character. I could not find his old Champions character sheet, so I re-created him using points approved by the GM of the game that will be starting. Maybe you'll find it interesting.

Diggs Tyler is a handsome, bald, black man in his early thirties. He typically dresses in tailored suits or expensive casual wear in the latest style. When he adopts the persona of Grimknight, he wears a non-reflective black body suit, black full head mask, and sturdy black boots and gloves. Over this attire he wears a hooded cloak, the Mantle Of Arawn. In daylight the cloak appears to be pale grey, while at night the cloak is an opalescent white.
 
Diggs Tyler was a private investigator for several years while he worked his way through law school. (Most private investigators work either for insurance companies or lawyers, so this was a natural match.) After graduation, he became a prosecutor in the New York County District Attorney's Office, where he has served the borough of Manhattan with distinction.
 
Diggs Tyler is friendly, engaging, and fun-loving. While he may come across as a bit of a Casanova when dealing with the opposite sex, he is never overbearing or disrespectful. He is the flame, not the moth. His years of working as a private investigator have made him skilled at forming a bond with people he's just met and getting them to open up to him. This has served him well in the District Attorney's Office. As Grimknight, Diggs is far less friendly, using his powerful presence and his skill at reading people to intimidate and interrogate suspected wrongdoers.

Tyler is a descendant of Gwynn Ap Nudd, King of the Faeries and the Otherworld (also called Annwn). He was not aware of his heritage until he was selected to be the next Knight of the Summerland due to the mysterious death of the previous Knight of the Summerland. However faint the blood connection may be, Tyler is a faerie by birthright, which permits him to wear and use the Mantle of Arawn, a powerful faerie artifact.
 
Grimknight also carries a number of useful but ordinary pieces of equipment, such as an IR camera, first aid kit, and a radio.
