grandmastergm got a reaction from Lord Liaden in Franklin Stone and Invictus Allies
Hello everyone,
I'm going to a 2020 Champions Presidential election featuring a contest between Franklin Stone and Invictus. I need allies that both would have- that would be potential or actual enemies for the players.
Here's the game description below:
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.

Revised backstory for Artemis:
ARTEMIS (Cailtyn Rose Mathis)
Created by John Sampson
Background/History: An orphan who grew up in the foster care system in Metro City, Caitlyn was injured when a war erupted in her neighborhood between the Italian mafia and Chinese tongs. Her family’s home was under the protection of the mafia, so a tong soldier threw a grenade into it. Caitlyn managed to push her foster brother to safety when the grenade went off, showering her with fragments. Some of the fragments struck her in the head, doing damage to her eyes, optic nerves and taking away her sight.
The Protectors arrived, put a stop to the gang war, and brought her to a hospital. Huntsman (aka Wayne Savage) vowed to do everything he could for the little girl. He arranged for her to be adopted by a loving couple: the Mathis family (Robert and Jennifer). Robert was a high-level engineer and a designer on the “Sonic Sight” project at Savage’s company ORWELL Industries. Her benefactor also paid for her schooling and approved for her foster father to use her as a candidate for the Sonic Sight program. The experimental therapy and drugs that she took managed to replicate a bat’s sonar abilities, but even improve upon it by allowing her to pick up as much detail as if she could see, perceive through non-soundproof materials and to see in a 360 degree arc. It also enhanced her hearing as well.
Caitlyn took up archery as a sport, finding that she had a natural talent for it. Plus her new super-hearing and sonar ability made her even better than her extensive training would allow. Although she had decent enough grades to go to college, Caitlyn decided instead to go into the workforce as a fitness trainer and instructor. She kept in touch with her old benefactor, who offered her a job at his company. She turned him down and proposed a counter-offer: that he would train her as his protégé. Impressed at her audacity, Wayne Savage trained her to become a superhero. She decided to take on the name of Artemis, after the Greek goddess of archery, and began patrolling the streets. The Huntsman accepted that she would take his place on the new Protectors team.
Personality: Caitlyn Rose is a down to earth, focused woman. Once she sets her mind on a goal, she'll stick to it until she accomplishes it. She is outgoing and extremely loyal to those she calls friends. She has more of a vigilante mentality compared to other heroes due to her rough childhood, but knows when to restrain herself.
Powers/Tactics: Artemis prefers to start off the fight by either blinding/deafening foes or entangling them; then switching to other arrow attacks when appropriate.
Appearance: Caitlyn Rose Mathis is an attractive, young woman in her early 30s. She is tall and slender, but athletically built. She stands 5'9" tall and weighs 138 lbs. She has long, dark brown hair and grey-blue eyes. She normally dresses in current Californian fashions.
Her costume consists of a Kelly green bodysuit accented with gold wrist bracers and buckles. Her eyes are covered by a silver cloth sash tied around her head. Her gloves, boots, and belts match the ‘mask’, as do the pouches on her left arm and thigh. She uses a longbow, and on her right hip she wears a dual-tiered quiver containing a large number of green-feathered arrows.

grandmastergm got a reaction from Steve in Origins 2020
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?

grandmastergm got a reaction from Starlord in What Have You Watched Recently?
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.

grandmastergm got a reaction from Amorkca in Origins 2020
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

I found Kodiak in the 5e Millennium City book and converted him to 6e. I'll send Kodiak plus an Officer Sasquatch built off of 300 points (feel free to power him down if you'd like).

Here are the Punishers from an NYC Champions game, the team roster from 2015-2017 (although the campaign went from 2008 to 2017).
L to R: Kabosh (Demon Brick), Silverbolt (Speedster/Super-Soldier), Knight Man (Gadgeteer/Power Armor), Nemesis (Teleporter/Martial Artist), Black Enchantress (Mystic), and Magic Marker (Reality Manipulator)
Sadly the game has been on hiatus since Nemesis' player passed away in January 2018.

grandmastergm got a reaction from Sketchpad in Bill Jackson Art
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.

You are correct. They are the same size. I enjoy rolling them, but they are a little cumbersome.
