Re: Hero System - Champions - Fluff Yeah, I guess that's a valid point. Of all the Champions source material I have seen which defines the world one plays in, the only one that ever seemed to have any depth to the characters and world was The Blood supplement. That thing made every other supplement look shallow and flat.. sigh.. Ah well, looking forward to the MMO.

Re: Hero System - Champions - Fluff Well personally, for me, the richness and color of the Champions universe is due mainly to the character creations system as well as the Hero system that allows all the neat stuff in Champions.. if Hero Games dumped the rules and switched to D20, how would that impact everyone if they had to use that system to play the game instead?

Re: Hero System - Champions - Fluff I absolutely wouldn't mind it if there was a dual setup, like where you could make easily approved characters, and also the ability to make "custom" characters with maybe a $5.00 approval/audit fee and whatever waiting period was involved. I mean if you weren't trying to game the system and got the guy back with changes needed to allow him into the game, I'd be all for it. Heck World of Warcraft has a $25.00 fee to move characters around from one server to another and that's fine by me even with the waiting period of up to 3 days.

Read a post here, came back when I saw that there is going to be an online Champions based MMO. Someone remarked earlier that Cryptic only gets the right to use the fluff and not the mechanics of the system. Frankly, Champions without the mechanics (Hero System) IS Fluff. And that is my opinion until the game comes out, and I play it for a few months to see if they manage to live up to their hype. I don't mean "Hype" in a negative way here, only that many other companies have promised the stars and delivered only chunks of neutronium. Crossing fingers and hoping for the best with what they have to work with. Essentially since I never really got into the Champions Background, I'm not particularly enthusiastic one way or the other that that is the basis of the MMO's story. Counting the days till COMMO comes out. Morituri "Vangardia" Max
