Hello all - just posting to see if anyone is interested in creating The Boys core characters in Champions. I'll be running a short Champions campaign towards the end of the year (probably starting October 22) set firmly in the Vought universe, with the players taking on the roles of super heroes in a new team being assembled on the west coast, most likely in LA. This is another cash cow operation by Vought using The Seven model; the idea being that there is enough geographical separation to prevent this new team stealing any limelight from The Seven in New York.
I've been playing Champions on and off (mostly off unfortunately) since the 80's and I'm loving the idea of getting back into it. As part of my prep for the campaign, and to help me get my geek (back) on, I'll be creating the cannon characters from the show in Champions. Would anyone like to collaborate, or even discuss that process, contribute ideas or get the calculator out and crunch some numbers with me?
Just a word of caution for anyone interested, I'll be using the 1989, fourth edition rules (because I like them).
I'll be creating the characters based (almost entirely) on what they do in the show, rather than working to a points value. We start by listing the key powers and moments in the show where those powers are used - and the effect of those powers - to give us a "power level yardstick". We then create that power at that level in game. The points are worked out last and they are what they are. I bet some will come out cheaper than we think, with some characters coming into the 250 point range. I have absolutely no idea how much Homelander will cost. But It'll be fun finding out!
Cheers
Mark
