Awesome! Did you play with DJ Webb?

Yeah, I know. I'll take whatever you got, please!

Do any of you guys have any ideas for a remote convention game that you'd like to see? Or do you have any sample adventures?

Hello everyone, Right now I'm working on a convention game that will feature a group of starting superheroes (400 points in 6e, 75 complication). All are based in Metro City, a campaign city created by the late DJ Webb. The twist is that all need to be characters drawn by Storn Cook. Please post character information of any character you created that Storn Cook drew.

The original version was just Sheeva from Mortal Kombat colored green, but the covert art was closer to the she-hulk so we went with that.

You can find it here. She's called Gronda in Haymaker #56. She's also described as such in her profile. Ray Lowery created her.

Hello everyone, I noticed issue #56 of Haymaker featured a female Grond named Gronda. I created a version of her that is a bit more playable that will be an option at a couple of convention games that I'm going to run this year. I also just commissioned a piece of her by Taghuso, an artist on deviantart. Here she is: Val Char Cost 60 STR 50 15 DEX 10 35 CON 25 20 BODY 10 8 INT -2 10 EGO 0 30 PRE 20 35 PD 8 30 ED 3 4 SPD 20 20 REC 16 70 END 10 70 STUN 25 12m RUN 0 4m SWIM 0 44m LEAP 0 6 OCV 15 6 DCV 15 3 DMCV 0 3 DMCV 0 Characteristics Cost: 225 Cost Power END 13 Very Skilled Four-Armed Combat: Autofire (4 shots; +1/2) for up to 60 Active Points of STR; Requires A Roll (12- roll; Must be made each Phase/use; -3/4), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2) [Notes: costs 9 END per Attack] 3 6 Four Arms: Extra Limbs (4), Inherent (+1/4) 0 8 Big and Heavy: Knockback Resistance -8m 0 94 Super-Tough Skin: Resistant Protection (25 PD/25 ED), Hardened (+1/4) 0 8 Rapid Healing: Regeneration (1 BODY per Hour) 0 20 Super-Strong Legs: Leaping +40m (44m forward, 22m upward) 2 7 Surprising Self-Control: Mental Defense (7 points total) 0 Powers Cost: 156 Cost Skill 16 +2 with HTH Combat 3 Breakfall 12- 3 Conversation 15- 2 KS: The Superhuman World 11- 3 Oratory 15- 3 Persuasion 15- 3 PS: TV Reporter 12- 5 Rapid Attack ; HTH Multiple Attacks Only (-1) 3 Stealth 12- 3 Tactics 11- Skills Cost: 44 Total Character Cost: 425 Val Disadvantages 20 Distinctive Features: 10-foot tall, 4- armed, green-skinned (Not Concealable; Always Noticed and Causes Major Reaction; Detectable By Commonly-Used Senses) 25 Enraged: Berserk If she takes BODY or gets Stunned from an Attack (Uncommon), go 11-, recover 11- 10 Physical Complication: Big And Heavy (is always 10 feet tall and weighs approximately 800 kg; +2 OCV for others to hit, +2 to PER Rolls for others to perceive (Infrequently; Slightly Impairing) 15 Psychological Complication: Split-Personality; (Common; Strong) 5 Unluck: 1d6 10 Vulnerability: 1 1/2 x Effect from Drains (Common) 15 Vulnerability: 1 1/2 x Effect from Fire Attacks (Very Common) Disadvantage Points: 100 Base Points: 400 Experience Required: 25 Total Experience Available: 25 Experience Unspent: 0 Gronda.hdc

How big for the cone effect?

A 1m surface personal damage shield, or how about a cone effect no range that has the same features? Also, would it be 0 END?

He should have an OCV, DCV, OMCV, and DMCV of 7. There was an error with the HTML sheet I copied.

I even like Showdown in Little Tokyo, which I watched last year. It's a shame that 11 minutes were cut out of the movie, but I think it's a fun movie.

Okay, how's this build? Colonel Blinky.zip

Glad to see that Richard Stanley returned to directing. You should watch "Lost Soul: Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau" which talks about the tragic end of his filmmaking career in the 1990s with the disastrous 1996 Hollywood movie. The documentary is far better than the actual 1996 movie (which is a stunning misfire given the talent involved).

Rapid Fire (1992) The Crow It's really a shame that Brandon Lee's career was cut tragically short. It's also a shame how terrible the 3 sequels were to The Crow, unless any of you guys want to defend them.

What sort of attacks did he have for his weapons arsenal? Do you remember if he had targeting systems or boosts to his CLs or CVs? What about his complications? Thank you for all this information!

Update: Status of Origins 2020 The Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the non-profit organization serving the hobby games industry, today announced that it will postpone the 46th Annual Origins Game Fair, originally scheduled for June 17-21, 2020 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, to October 7-11, 2020. The tabletop convention attracts more than 20,000 attendees from around the world to central Ohio to play thousands of board games, collectible card games, miniatures and role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons™, Magic: The Gathering™, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Catan, and hundreds of other titles. The decision to postpone the convention follows extensive discussions with its membership, the city of Columbus, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, hotel partners, and exhibitors. “The decision to postpone the convention was not one we made lightly,” said GAMA Executive Director, John Stacy. “The safety and well-being of the Origins community is our number one priority. Given the current health situation, we believe that it is best to move the convention to October.” With the postponement, GAMA also announced that they would be hosting an online gaming convention during the original show weekend, June 19-21, 2020. Origins Online 2020 will be a fully virtual convention for tabletop gaming fans to enjoy from their devices and will feature an Exhibit Hall where attendees can demo and buy games and merchandise. In addition, the virtual convention will offer streaming workshops and educational seminars with guest authors, artists and game designers, plus hundreds of games online that attendees can sign up to participate in. “We are all in this together. The postponement of the in-person event and introduction of Origins Online is an opportunity for the hobby games industry and broader gaming community to get excited together and come back stronger on the other side of this pandemic,” Stacy continued. Details regarding the postponement of Origins Game Fair and Origins Online will be shared soon

Please do, that's an awesome character sheet. Do you have to put in the information manually, or do you have HDC do it as an export?

What game did you feature him in?

No problem! Feel free to power him down. I mixed the Gigantopithecus and large ape together and added in the flourishes suggested in the thread. Glad you're happy!

Cool. What game did he appear in? How did you stat him out? How did you stat out the weapons and attacks?

I can't access the files, and thank you for posting these plus replying to my earlier queries, Storn!

Hello, Apparently over a decade ago, Deathtribble commissioned a cyborg beholder from Storn named "Colonel Blinky". How would you guys stat him out? I think he' be a good NPC for an Urban Fantasy game or even a Champions game with some alien/fantasy elements. Feel free to post your builds here!

What were Achilles' powers and abilities?

Has a Guyver vibe. Was that the intention?
