Re: Clown Ideas? Here is a few suggestions Some famous document on display in the game city. Pee Wee Herman’s red bicycle. Col. Sander’s statue. Air Force One Big Foot monster truck. The stuffed Trigger the horse. Stan Lee The Ruby Slippers Marilyn Monroe’s white dress.

Re: Battletech Mecha First Loves, Favourites, and just plain silly. OK I’m not a big Battletech fan or player even though it was the actually my first experience with a RPG gaming group. We were playing and they gave me this big 100 ton Mech. Atlas I think was the name of it. It had long range weapons and a 2 movement I remember that. So anyway we started the game and were placed on the edge of the game map and I ended up being the last to move. I stood still fired a weapon and got a head shot on a medium size mech being played by my hubby. It was great he failed his roll and was out of the game. The dice was good to me that night I got real good rolls. Since then that has always been my favorite.

Re: Practical Costuming (not quite a WWYCD) Taylor is a desolve character and would wear jeans and a sweat or t-shirt. She would use her motorcycle helmet to hide her identity. Savage well he wears whatever is semi clean mostly. He don’t care if someone id’s him or if his socks match either. Ms Mystic would wear her business like suit. She is a mentalist so she can use her powers at range.

Re: So, what do YOU want out of hero? With the Hero system you can create any setting or character you can think of. But it is also much more. It is about fighting that dragon, flying a spaceship to the far end of the galaxy or just throwing down with some major villain threatening your city. Hero lets us experience in a way of being that warrior or pilot or super. Hero lets us create other worlds and become part of them. It does this using one set of rules or guidelines and we can move our characters from one setting to another.

Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Taylor would be visited by her parents and brother that was killed in an anti mutant attack on her home. She still feels guilt over that and blames herself for the attack they was targeting her. She would ask for their forgiveness and tell them about her life now. Raven would be visited by his wife and maybe best friend. Raven also feels that he is responsible for their deaths or that he lived and they didn’t. It is un telling who would visit Savage and he would have a blast with whoever it was most likely take them out drinking or what not.

Re: WWYCD: Daughter Of The Shadow Lord... Ms Mystic would make sure the girls are safe and if Amy wanted to return to the school she would take her there when she returned the other girl. She would then try to talk to the Shadow Lord in letting her handle things and take the occultists into custody. If that didn’t work and she would actually let the Shadow Lord handle situation and try to make sure it ends up looking like he owes her a favor. Ms Mystic will use anyone to help her protect the Earth. Savage would ask if he needed any help beating up the occultists.

Re: Wwyd ???? I would agree to the terms then I would use the powers granted me to find cures, heal the planet and make an ever lasting peace. Even if I had only five years my love ones and the rest of the world would see the benefits.

Re: Fun Character concepts I played in a Hero game once where another player had created a character called Handsome Stranger. He was a flying brick who had absorption that went to his Comeliness the more he got hit the prettier he got. For some reason this really made the GM mad after a few games and he the GM approved the power before play. Handsome Stranger also had a PRE attack that worked against anyone attracted to males. He would strike a pose and smile. The player loved that power he would do that every time he would knock out a bad guy.

Re: Your PC's DNPC? I have one character that received 2 DNPC’s during game play she had gotten married and had twins. Emerald Dragon only acts as backup now and is semi retired.

Re: Concepts you wish your players would play A game with no Loner Characters and everyone knows the meaning of teamwork.

Re: Your scenario style Our group just ended a year long game arc a few months ago. We had a lot of side scenarios going on at the same time that would last one or two game session but they was all tied into the main game plot. We also did a lot of emails in between sessions to take of little details.

Re: CBikle Stop writing me First I want to say this I do think this is a very good board and very helpful. I would like to thank you for you suggestion on my INT Sword post am planning on using it. That said its just I think the whole situation has been handle wrong. I do agree with you the girl in question should have just ignored the PM’s. I have myself (as I am sure a lot of others have) been misjudge for something that happened in the past and was on the receiving end of some not so nice comments. It is life lessons and we should learn from them and move on.

Re: CBikle Stop writing me I have been reluctant to post about this since I am kind of new to the boards also. I understand some of you have been mislead in the past but don’t you think it’s time to get over it. Really are some of you going to judge every new person who posts here by something that someone did in the past. Maybe it’s time to be grown up about this and let the matter rest.

Re: WWYCD: Lost in a world without Supers; 9/11/2001 Ms Mystic would teleport to the White House and have a little meeting with the president and his head of security. She would convince that they need to ground the planes after everyone board of course she would also convince them to have in place members of her team on each plane to help neutralize any threat. She would also use her abilities to locate any other threats and inform the authorities. Now if this was the East Coast Defenders they would handle things a little different after making sure that the planes was grounded either by convincing the authorities or making sure the planes can’t take off (60 STR can do a lot of damage to a runway). They would then go to the root of the problem and take it out.

Re: Campaign Styles My group has done this also and it works well as long as you can get them to read their emails. I give the ones who reply at least 1 EXP point or something.

Re: INT Sword, Follower or Focus Thanks to all, you have given me some good ideals to build from, I especially like the side effect because that is exactly what I had in mind for the sword it does get in a bad mood if it is not treated right. I will try to post the finished character when I get it done for you all to go over.

Re: Does your GM play too? The NPC/PC that are in my game have been backup only and never take center stage at all. They might point out something important that the other PC’s miss but that is only if it works for game play. I use them sometimes to pull the PC’s into a game arc I am planning (Ken got kidnapped by Demons and they have to go on a rescue mission). Now my Champions World is being opened up to the other players in our group. We have each taken a different city. I did play in a game once where the GM had a GMPC that keep sweeping in at the last moment to save the day and take out his unbeatable robots. (We was 350 point characters that did 10d6 max damage while his robots was well over 800 points and would do 15 to 18d6 on average) that game lasted only 2 game sessions.

Re: Free Will My characters would have mixed thoughts on this matter I am thinking Ms Mystic would try to reason with the mentalist and try to change his opinion to make sure Earth and it’s people is keep safe that is her major goal. If all else fails she would try to slowly control the mentalist herself before trying to kill him out right. Then she would slowly give everyone their free will back or go insane and keep control herself. Savage would kill the guy and not worry about any after effects. That is the type of guy he is. Taylor would kill the guy and feel a lot of regret about what happens afterward. Raven would try to find a solution before killing him. He would feel a great remorse over having to kill a living creature but believes that all beings has a purpose and should be free to fulfill their destiny.

Re: Would you like your character? Ms Mystic has public ID and if I worked for her I would admire her dedication to keep everyone safe. Savage I would avoid he is very crude and rude. Raven can be very aloof and moody at times but he is a true friend. He would be all right to hang out with, especially when it was time to do yard work. Raven has a green thumb where plants are concerned where as I kill every plant I touch except for weeds. Taylor is nice and very friendly she would be the co worker that is always bringing snacks to share with everyone else and remembering everyone birthday and stuff like that. I think we could be great friends.

I am trying to build a character that has an intelligent sword for a weapon. While I would normally do this as a focus this sword can grant the wielder certain defenses such as 5 pd/ed, 5 mental defense, aid only to starting level, 25% mental damage reduction (the sword wants to be the only one that can control the wielder), mind control vs. wielder only, and a few other minor defenses. It also has a variable advantage on its attack. Like I said earlier it CAN grant the wielder these abilities but it can also hold them from the wielder at times. (Was going to discuss those conditions with the GM) What I was wonder is would you build this as a follower or as a focus.

Re: My Son What's To Play What I did a few years ago with a younger cousin and a few of his friends (ages 12 -14) who wanted to learn how to play was first talk to thier parents (some non gaming parents might have trouble at first but since they all knew me it was really no problem) Then arranged a Saturday afternoon and I helped them build their characters which I had all ready done the base characters all they needed to do was some tweaking for the first ones. Keep it simple is the key. I made them a note card with some basic info (such as 11+their OCV - the targets DCV is the number they have to hit of get under). They had a blast and the game actually lasted for a few months that summer.

Re: WWYCD: Hi! We're your Sidekicks! MS Mystic would take the kid and enroll him or her into the Academy so they could be trained in use of their powers. She would visit often and take them out on patrol ever once in a while. Savage would tell the kid not to get in his way and that he gets first dibs on any blonde females. Savage is well very blunt in most things.

Re: Campaign apocalypses: anyone ever done/been in one? I have played in two of these both happened when the PC's messed up in a major way. One was a high level champions game and the other was in a dnd game funny thing both was GM by the same guy and I think he took great pleasure in us watching the worlds we fought so hard to save be destoyed before our eyes. I also had planned on doing this with my current champions game but just couldn't after putting in over three years of work into it and hours of writing side stories for the player characters so instead it is being rebooted and the others players are all going to get their own city in my world to run so I can play more often.

Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power I would like to thank everyone for their replies it has given me some good ideals for a game I am planning to run where the PC's will recieve ONE power after waking up one morning. It will be a low powered game and a change from their current 500+ point characters they are currently playing. I can hear the groans now they like those multipowers and VPP's but sometimes change is good and needed.

Re: Power level for super villain group I try to keep my villians about the same power level as the heros if they are too powerful or weak the game can get too one sided and that isn't fun for anyone. I also never give my villians any experience I just tweak them as needed.
