In a sci-fi setting, I played Lensmen, straight out of E.E."Doc" Smith. They were pretty much the template for the Green Lantern Corp to begin with.

bump. More please:D

We've had Dumbest (pretty funny), and Most Embarassing (very funny). How about sharing your funniest Champions moments? Me first: A superstrong bad guy called Destroyer was bashing through down town. My character, Megalith, shows up. So did our gadgeteer, Commander Krull, unseen by the villain. Krull does a time stop on him. Megalith (a brick), winds up the haymaker. Time stop ends, haymaker lands, Destroyer goes to knockback land. He gets away. Later, rampaging through an amusement park after robbing the box office, same thing. Unseen Krull, haymaker, captured this time and sent to Stronghold. Big villain breakout in Stronghold. Megalith goes after Destroyer, no Krull. Megalith steps into view, Destroyer collapses in terror. "Don't hit me, I give up". He never did figure out the "Krull Factor".

More dredging **Yeah, just doing a little dredging, scraping some stuff up to the surface.**{Heavy machinery noise in background}

Dredging up lost threads Not even a bump. More of a dredge. Funny stuff here.

Another shameless bump.

Shameless bump.

Really nice picture. What ThunderCats should have looked like.

Player said he was invoking the "drop your butt and run" rule, adding a free 2 game inches of movement.

You might want to feel out your players on the religious issues, but it sounds like a good concept to me. If there is no other explanation for how superpowers came to be, then God may be as good an answer as any.

Go Laughing Boy, go! Hoo, Hoo, Hoo!

From Wild Cards : Ace (for super powered beings) Joker (for physically altered beings with or without special powers) Duece (very low-powered, or with powers that are useless for all intents and purposes) These all result from most people affected by the virus that brought about superhuman abilities drew the 'Black Queen ' i.e. the death card. 90% died, the rest drew Jokers, Aces, or Dueces.

If you like Dumbest, you'll like Most Embarassing. http://herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threardid=471&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 Can't get this link to work. What am I doing wrong? Anyway , I bumped it.

Bump. I love this thread. Along with the Dumbest moments thread.

Their stats were good enough to scare the bejabbers out of Butch and Sundance.

The first character I played in Champions (2ed) was a powered armor brick. 80 STR, 40pd/40ed, 15" of flight. He had +40 STR 3x per day, which made for a really wicked haymaker. Hunted by Dr. Demento (our GM's favorite villain). Think Dr. Destroyer, only less sane. He was called Sentinel, hence my sig.

I didn't expect such a speedy reply from "the horse's mouth", as it were. Thanks, Steve.

Is a Western Hero genre book planned?

While in a campaign GM'ed by my friend Fred, I was playing a character based on and named the Beast. Complete with blue fur. A group of super terrorists took over a school, and tied up all the kids in the gym. They were all surrounded by wooden desks, covered in gasoline. The head bad guy had a Zippo, ready to go. I snuck in through a skylight to recon the situation. One of the other players, playing a giant brick (3 or 4 levels of growth, STR in the 80's or 90's) arrives outside, doesn't check in with our team leader, and charges thru a wall. The head villian is about to throw the lighter, I jump down, grab lighter with my pre-hensile feet, land acrobatically on my hands, and am turned to stone by one of the other bad guys. I come out of it at GM's option. Standing in a water fountain in front of our Headquarters.

I think you hit on it with the IRS thing. A watcher does things that aren't attacks , per se, that can screw up your life none the less. PRIMUS or the equivalent can show up at your work place, flash the badge, ask alot of questions, and get your boss and co-workers looking at you funny. Or a reporter with a telephoto lens gets a fuzzy picture of you doing you're Superman in the phone booth impression. Essentially a watched is a social threat, rather than a physical one. That's my take on it anyway.
