Durzan Malakim Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I believe the Kickstarter in question was: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/herogames/champions-now, which is discussed on this very forum here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed out on the bundle of holding because of a misunderstanding. I thought my wife was getting it for me for Christmas, and she thought I was just going to buy it for myself. By the time we figured out where we were, it had closed. Steve, Andrew_A and Joe Walsh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Okay, I have a new character to post. A shameless ripoff loving homage to a character whose potential I feel was never truly explored, I give you the mighty Tomahawk! pinecone and Chris Goodwin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that character interesting when he was a sympathetic adversary with the Hellions (was that the name of Emma Frost's teen group that opposed the New Mutants?), less so with X-Force.

Pariah Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I hope to have two or three more characters ready to post in the next couple of weeks. But I've just had two rounds of midterms (one for me, one for my students) so I've been kind of busy. Chris Goodwin and assault 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starblaze Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Well the fact that unlike other systems out there change all the time Champions has always been pretty much the same game. You can take a 1st edition character and convert him to a later edition and actually not jump through too many hoops to get there.

Pariah Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Okay, I have a couple of new characters to share: Quark and Red Giant. Here's their story. Durzan Malakim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 One of the few things I remember from 3rd Edition was the declining value of Disadvantages as you took more of the same type: the 1st two were full value, the next two were 1/2 value, the next two were 1/4 value and any more after that were worth zero. I thought this was an interesting limiter on preventing you from loading up on Psychological Disadvantages or Hunteds. In 6E, it's simpler now, you can only take so many points from a single type. Did anyone ever take four Psychological Disadvantages or six different Hunteds? tec-9-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about character portraits giving me the wrong expectations. The big barrel-chested he-man has STR 13. The athletic-looking woman has STR 35 and can grow to STR 50. Red Giant never has to ask anyone to open jars for her, unless it's to do so without breaking the jar in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some art might be nice too. The concept should provide the disadvantages, which is the part of the mechanics I find hardest to come up with. I'm enjoying this thread and the 3e characters so that I can see how they compare with 5/6th edition characters (the only HERO versions I've played). I do have a copy of the Champions 4th edition BBB that I picked up used in the early 90s. I read it, created some characters, and never got a chance to play HERO until 5th edition Revised.

Pariah Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Okay, time for a new hero(ine)! She's the green-haired beauty with the electric touch. She's young, she's powerful, she's confident...or is she? Well, whatever else she might be, she is...Striker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecone Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Looks nice! One thing I used to "always" do back in the day is have a slot of Zero range blast for Hth, it just came up so often.... Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
