Pariah Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine That is more than just a little disturbing. David, the guy who played Mach-O, regularly wore Hawaiian shirts, floral-print Bermuda shorts, and floral-print running tights (that all clashed) to school, if that gives you any idea. I have a picture of him clad in such an outfit from the front page of the local newspaper. (I'm also in the pic; we were both on the school's Knowledge Bowl team.) And in the Classified Ads from that same issue, there's one that reads "David's mother doesn't dress him funny. He does it all by himself."

bubba smith Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Today we're going to set the Wayback Machine for the summer of 1987 and the very first Champions campaign I GMed. I was home from my first year of college, and I got the old D&D group together to teach them this new game I had learned while I was away. Being at the height of the X-Men's success, everybody wanted to play mutants (except for me; I wanted to play a Jedi). So I taught them all the rules, let them borrow my books as necessary, and before long, we had a group of (mostly) mutant superheroes. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you . . . Strike Force X! Excalibur: The player couldn't decide whether he wanted to play a mutant, or the Black Knight from the Avengers. So he did both. Excalibur is a mutant with the ability to project electricity through any metal focus. He is also a direct descendant of the legendary King Arthur, and has the sword and scabbard to prove it. He's the acknowledged team leader. Voltere: Also nicknamed 'Kiwi' (he's an aboriginal New Zealander). His mutation gives him control over electricity, allowing him to fly, throw lightning, create electromagnetic force fields, and the like. Parthenon: The team brick, he has exceptional strength and resistance to injury. He's also extremely difficult to knock down or move. He weighs about three tons (most of the time). Brainstorm: She has psionic abilities (couldn't have guessed that one from the name, eh?) including Telepathy, Mind Control, Ego Blast, and Mind Link. She was originally rather shy and timid, until somebody really hurt her...and she discovered she could hurt them back. Then she became quite a bit more aggressive. The Wanderer: Not a mutant, but a lost military officer from somewhere in the Praed galaxy. Upon realizing that the world on which he found himself didn't have the level of technology necessary to get him home (and probably wouldn't achieve it in his lifetime), he decided to become a superhero. The team also has two associate/reserve members, shown in the next post. i take it the wanderer was the jedi style hero you wanted to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine i take it fraven means fireraven? very good Thank you! and yes, 'FRaven' is short for Fire Raven. The FH at the end means that I made her using Fábrica de Heróis (as opposed to the last two letters being HM, which would indicate that I used Hero Machine). It's how I keep track of them on my hard drive. And yes, I know it's okay to use file names longer than 8 characters now. I'm still rooted in DOS, I guess. I'm old school that way.

Legatus Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine This is Robard de Suidon, a French crusader and one of the first mutants on Earth. He did not spend all his life on this planet. He has gone were no man has gone before and he has fought in many interstellar wars. It is not known, whether he lived that long, travelled in time or spent centuries in cryogenic animation. For a man born in 1178 he looks quite young. And he is about eight feet tall.

I do not intend this to be a mockery of someone's cherished childhood memory, but what the hell, it WAS some pretty preachy stuff, and the badguys seemed more interested in destroying the planet than making sustainable profits.
