Good Cops

I would love to see these guys play. Listening to their music takes me back to a happier time.


Back In the Saddle...

Ok I am starting to look forward to this:



Nicholas Cage is a good actor and when I read this I started to get enthused.

Earth 1168 Genesis

Character creation has gone really well and without giving anything away RP-wise you guys essentially now have:

1 Brick (Melee/Brawler)
1 Controller (Supernatural/Fire)
1 Blaster (High-Tech/Energy)

Champions isn't quite as role-oriented as D&D, so it's not like you guys have to have 1 from each role/class. It seems to inspire some folks when making up their characters though so I thought I would just throw out some info on general archetypes:
  • Fighter
    • Brick
    • Martial Artist
    • ...
  • Spellcaster
    • Blaster
    • Controller
    • ...
  • Defender
    • Buffer
    • Healer
    • ...
  • Rogue
    • Gadgeteer
    • Speedster
    • ...
This stuff is all very subjective and none of it is enforced by the game mechanics, so people shouldn't get hung up on it, your team will be just fine even if you guys come up with 5 Fighters. It's more to try and give some structure because creating your character is so unstructured in Champs.

RIP Xed

My Character Xed died in D&D last night, the victim of a friendly-fireball. He was a really fun character to role-play and I really liked the concept, but he was never able to keep up with the rest of the party combat effectiveness-wise, so I doubt he will return.

At a party Menahir threw to raise the spirits of the people of Brindol before the impending invasion Xed gave a brief speech:

"Good people of Brindol and the environs of the Dawn Way, if the Red Hand Horde is a sea, then you are the rock on which they shall break. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain."

RIP Xed

Mutt


This time it's my character Mutt who gets the treatment and has his character sheet and back-story added to my on-line archive.

Mirrorshade


This new Sample Character Mirrorshade for my up-coming Champions Campaign Earth 1168 is a Blaster, plain and Simple.

He is only slightly more complex than Wrecking Ball, but he does show the use of a Multi-power and a variety of attacks with more interesting Advantages.
