I would love if they liked it enough to want to do that. Hopefully, I can give them a good first foray into the Champions universe.

I like it, maybe he's the "test pilot" if you will for this set of equipment.

Thanks, I'll have a look!

Yeah, I wanted to work in a character with a more skill based focus but it doesn't preclude them from being a psychic. At this point though I am leaning towards martial artist pretty heavily. There could always be a set of advanced tactical weapondry in this facility so I can work in the gadget angle.

Point well taken, I'll set it up so the players are not taken hostage but their co-workers are. This should help keep the cluster****ing to a minimum. I'll have accident take place almost immediately after "creature-x" is set loose to rampage the city. I'll tie in their mutations with the same accident that creates the creature. I'm thinking of like a 50' tall mindless creature rampages the city...something fun to introduce a lot of chaos.

I like the monster escaping from the lab idea...I could introduce a 3 way skirmish between the players, VIPER, and the creature.

I don't own much past 5th edition anymore and only really owned the old 4th edition core book. This meetup group runs mini-cons every month at a local gaming themed restaurant with the next one scheduled for April 28th. Lots of time to figure this out.

I'm still trying to pin down exactly what I want to do for the sessions...here's what I'm bouncing around. Players all work the same mega-corporation at a research facility Players are from the following departments - Accounting, IT, Reception (aspiring actress), and Security Specialist (ex-military) VIPER breaks in to steal the research Takes the players hostage There's an accident with the research materials that the players are caught in Players awake to find that they have powers The rest should be straightforward combat with the players wiping the floor with VIPER goons. I'm not sure if I want to throw in another set of supers on VIPERs side or not or have some of the VIPER agents mutated as well from the accident. It may be more work than it's worth. I'm open to any tweaks or suggestions here too so feel free to weigh in.

I am a member of a local meetup.com gaming group in my area and am planning on running a 6e origin story/1 shot. This would be a 4 person group using pre-generated characters that would run through a simple session where they receive powers and have to fight off some baddies (likely VIPER). I'm super nervous about doing this but am going to push myself to do it. My goals are to hopefully be able to: showcase what you can do with Champions/HERO System introduce people to the game concepts gently and organically My thoughts around showcasing the system is that I want to build diverse characters that illustrate the depth of possibilities available to you. Here's what I have so far: Energy Projector - solar based with an array of attacks...is also spaceworthy and has FTL for flavor Brick - Kryptonian-esq with ranged attacks based on gravity manipulation in place of heat vision etc. Speedster - classic speedster able to run up walls and reach mach speeds...lots of SPEED, lots of utility ('cause we all know speedsters always get stuck on crowd control ) ??? I feel like those 3 characters cover the median, high speed, and high damage/low speed ends of the spectrum nicely. What I need help with is this last character...I'm thinking of either doing a psychic or a martial artist but can't decide and want to open it up to debate on the forums. So what do people think? Psychic or Martial Artist or something completely different? Should I combine the Psychic and Martial Artist into one character...it would be so expensive...

Both of these suggestions are on point and I 100% agree with them. I like to lay down rules like for every 20 xp you bump the active point costs by 5 (for example). That deals with raw power fairly easily and transparently. The fact is though that some characters rely on powers by concept and some don't. Superman and Batman are are great examples of the opposite ends if the spectrum that everyone knows. Powers are flashy and fun too so I think it's pretty natural people gravitate towards them. If they're building within concept then I say you're doing ok.

#1 could be rough to do, I'll add your requests to the list

It's listed as being an alternative in 5e...I still play 5e primarily

I love this alternative rolling calculation and always use it in my games. I think it's easier for people to start with and better overall.

One thing I find that really helps is to teach people how to count dice by grouping them in 10s. There's nothing worse than seeing someone struggle with 10-12 dice by trying to add them up all in their head, 1 at a time

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Of that list, BvS is far and away the worst one for me too. The only redeeming quality was Wonder Woman and there wasn't enough of her to justify the time investment in that overly long mess...

I'll just leave this here and go.... https://batman-news.com/2018/03/18/justice-league-ends-box-office-lowest-dceu-movie/

Alright, I've been busy this weekend geeking out with this app... I've just pushed a new build to the Play/App/Amazon stores for 1.2.0. Full patch notes are available at http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/96734-hero-system-mobile/?do=findComment&comment=2642800

Sweet...thanks for sticking it out while I got those issues resolved

The 1.1.3 patch should be available for download now from all stores. Have I managed to fix the loading and scrolling issues reported on iOS devices?

Just randomly popped up while I was listening to mixes on youtube...I've been listening ot this album for 3 days straight now....I'm totally loving this band

The app is now available via the Amazon App store - http://a.co/byom955

I looked into the app submission process and it turns out it was pretty easy. I just submitted it to the Amazon App store...hopefully it will be available soon for you

That's an interesting idea. I would have to look into what it takes to submit an app to the Amazon App Store. You could install the Play Store on your Kindle and grab it that way too - https://www.howtogeek.com/232726/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-your-amazon-fire-tablet/
