Re: Superheroes Sponsored by Corporations (Such as the NFL) I'm not sure if it's made its way stateside yet, but if you don't mind looking over to the anime side of things for some inspiration, there's Tiger & Bunny, which revolves around corporate-sponsored heroes that star in a reality TV-inspired show, Hero TV.

Re: Uresia Hero Thanks! I'll definitely look into that then (once I get myself more familar with the core rules as well as renewing my contract for Hero Designer)

Re: Uresia Hero Having just gotten Champions Complete, which books would be recommended for a Uresia campaign aside from Fantasy Hero, or will Fantasy Hero do just fine alongside CC? (Currently toying with the idea of revamping a Kovali magical girl for Hero that was done originally under Risus)

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Just got mine today as well. Liking it so far!

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Considering the announcement on the front page, we should be seeing that soon!

Re: Teen Mystics or Magical Girls For CHAMPIONS campaigns It's tricky avoiding spoilers, but at the very least, it's worth noting that Sailor Moon (the series, that is) doesn't disqualify Senshi once they become adults.

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Granted, I'm still early into the book at this stage (the basic concepts section, to be more precise), but I'm detecting a particular theme regarding courtship rituals of South American spiders

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Just put in my $40 (plus s&h) to get my copy. I've had the 6e Basic Rulebook for a while now and had meant to step up to the full ruleset at some point. This makes it much easier by having it in one volume again and at an affordable price (and since the preorder included the PDF at no extra charge, I had to put my money where my mouth is in supporting that kind of thing!). Of course, it'll take a good while to plow through the material, but a glance-through shows a satisfying product so far. No, you won't get the presentation values of competitors like M&M/DCA or MHR, and it's definitely light on illustration work. However, they layout is definitely readable, even on my Galaxy S when using column view on EZPDF Reader. File size is even lighter than with the Basic Rulebook. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing!

Re: What do you really think of Champions Online? Well, I took advantage of the recent free weekend to get a character up to 11. It's not bad, and I did feel more like playing a superhero than I did with CoX (actually taking on superhero-worthy opponents rather than random street thugs). A few quests felt grindy at times though (such as having to take down 150 mutates in Burning Sands). The environments were pretty good too. However, I'm going to hold out a bit longer before activating my registration key. Yeah, I already bought it thanks to the big Steam holiday sale a while back. However, at the time I didn't have a system that could run it so I put it aside until I had one that does. My current system could handle it, but I want to get a better video card (probably an ATI 5750 or 5770) before fully diving in since it's currently running Intel G4x graphics, which does not do things justice at all. I'll at least enjoy the first month free at that point. Any further would hinge on their improving the content situation and hopefully seeing more options for character design (more costume pieces that'll let me get the characters closer to the concepts in my mind).
