  1. Fair enough. How would you build the alien eggs? Would it be a barrier for the facehugger?
  2. Thank you. How would you build the Alien Queen? Same with an Alien Egg for the Facehugger? Xenomorph.hdc
  3. I like the third Predator movie, but I skipped the fourth one due to its box office flop, poor critical reviews, and devastating fan review. Thank you Lord Liaden for your finds! Predator.hdc
  4. Hello everyone, Did anyone make xenomorphs, yautja and colonial marines for HERO System? I'm going to run a Star Wars Vs AVP game, run like the way I imagined the movie to be instead of the horrifically lame movies from 2004 and 2007 along with a Star Wars that resembles the Original Star Wars + Rogue One + The Mandalorian. I would also like to see Ellen Riley and Dutch team up, so if anyone ever stated them out- that would be a big help! Let me know, Grandmaster GM
  5. I managed to get in touch with him. He's pretty sick with cancer, but he's hanging in there. He's looking to see what he can find as apparently his art on is an old hard drive.
  6. I emailed him on the Haymaker address (@juno.com). Let me know if the rest of you have any luck.
  7. Hello everyone, I was going through Haymaker and Digital HERO and I saw Bill Jackson's awesome art! Does anyone know how to get in touch with him or if he's posted his artwork anywhere? I attached a sample of his art, Monolith a native-American anti-heroine (sympathetic supervillain or heroine working for/with the wrong people).
  8. Forgot my 5th game: Champions: Presidential Smackdown 2020 (Stone vs Invictus)!: The controversial business mogul Franklin Stone was elected President in 2016 in an upset, and is now running for re-election. He's up against the charismatic ex-superhero David Sutherland aka Invictus. Is this a classic case of good vs evil or is all hell about to break loose?The players are a member of The Punishers, a super-team in the great city of Freedom City (what name New York CIty adopted to celebrate the Allied victory in WW2, although many residents still call it by its old name out of nostalgia). Their rivals, the Freedom Legion (the city's premier super-team), are away on a mission out of the country for PRIMUS (this world's equivalent of SHIELD). Conveniently enough, the two Presidential candidates are going to have their final debate in the Freeport section of Freedom City (where the Punishers are based out of). The game starts out with The Punishers making their decision on how they want to approach this latest turn of events (they're a private team, unlike the city-sponsored Freedom Legion). The players are Very High-Powered at 650 points and 100 points of complications (roughly Justice League)..The game does contain allegories and jokes about contemporary American and global politics that skewer all sides and ideologies, so please be aware of this.
  9. What supervillains should they be based off of? A friend of mine made her a snake-woman in his campaign, and he voted for her.
  10. Oh man, that's awful! I'm sorry to hear about that buddy! It was so awesome to game with you last year! You were a great Italian monk and Japanese Jujitsu-practicing Buddhist Monk! Yeah, knocking on wood about Origins.
  11. Hello, I just submitted 5 game options at Origins this year. I am not a part of a group, but I will be running 5 HERO games at Origins this year (thought about mixing with Savage Worlds, but figured that it would mess up my DM brain too much). I'll post the schedule as we get closer. Champions: Evilution Unchained!: An adaptation of Pete Ruttman's 3-Act adventure for a convention setting. It's a modified "historical" game set 20 years ago. It is set in the late Dave Webb's campaign city of Metro City, which replaces the San Francisco Bay Area in this modified Champions Universe. The players are a team of new superheroes who are taking upon the mantle of the Protectors, the city's legendary super-team. It's been 5 years since a devastating earthquake (some say it was the work of supervillains, others terrorists, others aliens, others mother nature, and others demons) that wrecked the city, along with a devastating nearly-simultaneous attack by Dr. Destroyer. The Protectors also suffered badly, and its surviving members recruited the PCs to take the place of the fallen and those in mourning. It is now the year 2000: the new millennium. The players have been tasked with solving a series of high-profile kidnappings plaguing Metro City. The heroes must discover a horrific plot that threatens the entire city or risk the rise of a fresh batch of super-villains. HERO 6th Edition: Star Wars Vs Alien Vs Predator: Set between the events of the fall of the Old Republic and Episode IV: A New Hope, with the addition of two of the deadliest monsters in the Sci-Fi/Horror pantheon. The players play a group of Rebels that have crashed-landed on a planet on the edge of the galaxy. They need to repair their ship or find a new one in a barren place without a spaceport. Worse, Xenomorphs have infested the place and the Yautja have decided to make it their hunting ground. Can the players escape or are they doomed? Kazei 5: More Human Than Human: Set in Michael Surbrook's anime cyberpunk setting, the players are a group of freelancers who work as deniable assets for the best-paying client. Their job starts simple: extract a scientist from a corporate facility. Unfortunately- there's a twist to this job- they have to rescue his daughter too. And then there's the little problem of a rogue Artificial Intelligence. No big deal for a group of experienced mercenaries, right? Ninja/Martial HERO: World King of the Ring Tournament: The world's best martial artists have been invited to a secret, yet legendary tournament in Hawaii (this time around). The winner gets fame, fortune, and power; and the losers are lucky to survive. (note: I used the Ninja HERO notation for the game as Ninja is more instantly recognizable in this era than Martial for Martial Arts).
  12. Also hit tip to Dave Mattingly for giving me the inspiration to run it. Orcus was the "big boss" with Lo Pan, Beetlejuice, and Freddy Krueger as the lesser bosses. Lo Pan was killed by Buffy, Beetlejuice and Krueger were killed by Venkman, and Orcus was killed by Hermione and Constantine combining efforts.
  13. Just curious- is she publicly known as bisexual or gay? Or is the secret the fact that Cheryl is two-timing with her and Erik? I'll take a look at a build. She seems like she's a little weak compared to the Champions or some of "standard power" villains although I think she's clearly effective against minions.
  14. I actually ran a savage worlds supers game (Ash vs Orcus; or Army of Darkness: Throne of Bloodstone) at 2 conventions last year and then converted it into HERO for my local group that featured the following: 1) Ash Williams (leader) 2) Peter Venkman (comic relief) 3) Hellboy (big guy) 4) John Constantine (lancer) 5) Hermione (brains) 6) Buffy (chick)
  15. How about this? Killing Attack - Ranged 2 1/2d6, +1 Increased STUN Multiplier (+1/4), Autofire (10 shots; +1); OAF (-1), Requires A Roll (14- roll; Jammed; -1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4), 100 Charges (+3/4)
  16. I plan on running 5 HERO events over at Origins this year, but I need to submit my games. I ran 5 HER0 events last year, all of which sold out (although one of them had 2 drop-outs at the last minute).

  18. Yeah the 1980s movies are guilty pleasures. They probably would have been better with bigger budgets, as both movies are constrained by budgetary limitations- and a bad script for the second one (a point which the director apparently agrees with). I haven't seen the 2019 series, and the 1990s series has some good episodes but a lot of mediocre ones.
  19. They probably should have just changed the character's name completely instead of trying to reference the original character by butchering him into a legless neo-confederate engineer.
  20. At the time I found Kenneth Branaugh's over-the-top performance to be entertaining and the leads to be amusing, but I was a 13-year old boy . I'll admit the movie has not held up well at all, doesn't really work, and can see why Will Smith apologized for it.
  21. The team I played in that beat Takofanes were all in the 700 point range and we were all grossly overpowered- we had a SPD 12 speedster and I was the brick with 24 DC. Some of the PCs got KOed, but we still defeated him. I just ran a convention game where the PCs fought Mechanon. They beat Mechanon by using coordinated attacks, and because I let the players "buy" critical hits with heroic action points.
  22. He hated the 1999 movie script so much that he refused to cameo or have any part of it. RIP.
  23. Well they have NCM in everything as a start- so that's over 200 points, and then do the CVs, but here are some of the characters. Jinx.hdc Psyker.hdc Skystep.hdc
  24. I'm going with a sci-fi rather than mystical route, but it could be changed to a malevolent alien entity rather than a mystical one.
