  1. The only software to install is Lifesizecloud and a pdf file reader software. I will be private message all the players on where to get software and send some pdf file handouts.
  2. Shameless Bump! Still have room for players. Great chance to learn how to create a character and do some playing of Teen Champions.
  3. We will be using Lifesizecloud; free software. I can direct message you with details. Another player would be GREAT!
  4. Teen Champions - Meyerson Academy - Make a Character and Play 8/1/2020 Do you have any friends, spouses, children, or friends of your children who should learn how to PLAY Champions and DESIGN a character? This game is designed to teach complete newbies, even those who have NEVER played a RPG. You will make a teen-aged superhero character. Characters will be designed using modified Champions Character Creation Cards. Then the character will go to the danger room and you and your classmates will have to fight A.I. controlled robots and other robotic dangers. Bring your imagination, a character concept, and be ready to roll some six sided dice. I have run this before and it went VERY well, a good time was had by my two players, so come and join in the fun. Character creation took about 20 minutes per player [For two characters]. Saturday, August 1, 2020 - 11 am Central 6 Hours Using: 6th ed Hero System rules. Will run with as few of two players and up to 5 players. Children ten years and older are welcome. Please respond to this by posting below. We will use Lifesizecloud to meet online, I will have two cameras; one on me and one on the map. Edited June 16 by Barton changed player count
  5. You can make your own. Just purchase the Cards and make your own in Word, or what software you might want to use. I STRONGLY suggest buying the cards so you see how they are designed and then you could make a 5th or 4th version for yourself.
  6. Other: It could include Champions Character Creation Cards. Have not used them.... yet.... Plan to use at a convention/store demo.
  7. Starblaze the game referenced was a one shot game [online]. I live in Burleson Texas.
  8. Still time to reply and join the game at 12 noon Central time today.
  9. Still planning on running this game Sunday. PLEASE sign up by making a reply. I will run with even one player! I will close the event Saturday 6/20 at 10PM Central if no one makes a reply.
  10. This game will use pregenerated characters, I have a selection covering most of the Champions arch types.
  11. Players must PRE-define the powers and have them approved BEFORE play starts. No creation when your phase is up.
  12. 1) handouts - I have found and created some handouts designed to be short and give high level BUT important player info. 2) pregenerated characters - if at convention use these, you will be familiar with them, make sure they have common powers and complications to illustrate game elements 3) danger room - IMHO a good way to show off powers/complications in Champions 4) hero designer software for the the GM - it easily makes characters and save you a LOT of time 5) explain 3d6 - explain the bell shaped curve and why you want/when to roll low and low high 6) show quick and easy way to count body - group the dice by 1's; 6's, and all others. Then 1 and 6 cancel out, any excess either way adjust the body amount = normal damage dice. 7) show special effects - complication -> double damage to heat; great way to show a blast is blast; BUT not always depends on SFX. 8) show players it is easy for them, harder for GM - Show them that playing [by actually playing] is easy; the GM must know a lot more than players. The point is once have a GM who has experience, the players need to know a lot less. Again, if you want join my game on Saturday please do so.
  13. Started with 2nd Ed. Played / GM a lot of 5th ed. and a little bit of 6th edition. Like the Sixth edition [but Complete is great also] due to more detailed examples. I think newer editions are just as playable as the older. I am running a game this weekend, fdw3773, It is a one shot online game where I have the players CREATE and play a Teen Champions character. I would be honored if you attended and you could see how I teach newbies [yes this is a shameless plug also] https://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/99999-teen-champions-meyerson-academy-make-a-character-and-play-online-single-session/
  14. Shameless bump! I will run this game even with one player, so please do not be shy to reply and sign up.

  17. IDEA: What if the GM's who posted above run the games during the same time as the Origins Online? We could be but we put the events in the player finder section of the forum. People would then post if interested and we could do a drawing for player openings. I would be interested in doing this; WHAT SAY YOU ALL?
  18. I would allow visible -1/4 if the glowing was very bright, so the character would be easy to spot at night or from a long way off.
