I will tackle that if I ever get there, but I think it might be possible to approach it with a more therapeutic attitude: this allows people to face the awful situation and trash the bad guys while saving the students.  After all, a lot of the reason comic books exist and we play stuff like Champions is to do what we cannot in real life, to find justice where we see injustice, and to go through scenarios that we hate in life and find a positive solution.
 
Its touchy, because for some people the trauma is so awful that even thinking about the events is painful and traumatic, so there is a real need to be sensitive and thoughtful, but to me this is the point of superheroes: doing what we cannot in this world.  We love superheroes because when we look at the world and wish there was a hero that could solve these problems... they exist in this comics and in this game.  And we get to play them.

OK I have started to convert old adventures printed in previous magazines etc.  They just need a bit of updating to modern tech and culture, a bit of converting to 6th edition, some bits of added info, and illustrations.  They don't take long to do, the art will be the slow part, but the conversions are pretty simple.  I plan on releasing these as "Champions Classics" for cheap if it all works out.  We get a few dozen of these things out on the internet and no GM has an excuse for not having anything to run!

In a future distopia, where people with minor super powers are made unemployed by new robots.  Apparently they started with Robot Cops, but the number of fatalities was unacceptable, so they moved to robot Dogs that supposedly use non-lethal methods to subdue criminals, however a corrupt cop working with a Drug Kingpin modified one of the robot dogs to inject poison into people. A VIctims little sister is a powerful psychic who can aonctrol electricit and she teas up with an Ex-dcon to get back at the corrupt cop that killed them. Currently on Netflix.

I picked up more 3rd Ed sourcebooks than I can count...WotC and others.  VERY FEW of them had as much as 10% useful (to me) content.  And the class splatbooks?  Probably none of em.  This was also back when many of the classbooks, say, where softback and black and white...not hardback and color, and therefore significantly more expensive.
 
Seems to me that Hasbro should actually mine their records...what's getting purchased individually?  That's your customer feedback right there.  It may be that there aren't many insights to draw...or, more likely, that they don't have the data people or data mining tools to do the job.  In general...when would they have had the need to do it?

Nope.  Sounds like they took the bean counter route.  Screen Rant has a similar article, altho more coherent, and limited to the removal of a la carte purchases.  They make the point it may well cost them money, as many players won't buy the books at all...or FAR fewer...and they'll look elsewhere.
 

Oddly, the aircraft made a cameo in the H.P. Lovecraft story "At the Mountains of Madness", as how they got the expedition to Antarctica. It made quite an impression in U.S> magazines of the period.

Why yes, I watched "The Northman" last night.

As much as I enjoy creating characters and technically adding them to the Champions universe (I did a couple for Champions Begins), I think it serves the game system better to use existing bad guys that can be plugged into the game.  That helps plug into the existing lore etc for the universe.  But... then we have reprint issues, is it okay to reprint what's in a book?  Or do we necro a villain group like I had to for Island of Dr Destroyer?

Ok. I like the idea of the apartment fire.
 
1) it encourages creative use of powers.
2) it encourages a non-violent solving of problems.
3) Chances for role-playing with each NPC saved.
4) If players do well, they have a great chance for positive PR.

We can only hope, but with Hasbro being an East Coast company, I would sadly expect some Manhattan financier type.

Marvel has a few more "successes" like The Marvels and they will go out of business.

That's kind of my idea.
 
Anything that could be expressed in a physical form would be built as a normal character, with mental characteristics bought down to zero. Then a package of skills and abilities that could reflect the character's learned things would be layered into it.
 
Sleeves would have different abilities: normal humans, gene-enhanced, bioroids, etc.
 
I'm not expecting a lot of body switching going on among PCs (unless someone gets their sleeve killed), but it would be important to have the ability if they decide to resleeve for a cover ID or something.

In the books and Netflix series a cortical stack effectively grants you Life Support immortality by way of an obvious inaccessible focus. The books describe rich people having banks of blank clones for them to download into. One punishment in this world is to forcibly remove someone’s digital self from “their” body and adding the now empty body to the public bank of available bodies. The first book has the main character walking around in someone else’s body and having to deal with their nicotine addiction and attraction to another character. This might be a transform attack in Hero terms. Transform from human body to cortical stack digital human freight and vice versa.

It was after this, that New York Newspapers bought Pitcairn, and DeLa Cierva Autogyros for their reporters.  THough it was payroll expenses for the pilots that eventually discontinued the services, but they are markedly easier to fly than equivalent fixed wings.

After seeing Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, I keep having him voice Foxbat in my head now.
