Heroes Unlimited(can't beat the price of the book), Champions 3rd, 4th New millennium and 5th editions(love new millennium), DCu original, D20 and WEG versions, Marvel original(have the newer diceless one but haven't ran it), Godlike, Wildtalents, and a couple more, and we have more than one campaign for each of them. Sooo I guess we Really like our Supes RPG's. So I feel your attachment. I run many other games of every genre for almost 20 years(my wife and my friends wives play as well) but we always go back to capes and cowls.AlidCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529942406498639532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-37738416109183714802011-05-07T22:12:15.179-04:002011-05-07T22:12:15.179-04:00I DMed some Champions in the 90s and got a blast w...I DMed some Champions in the 90s and got a blast with it. It was my fav Supers game... I planned to DM again and the game my players wanted to play was Champions. 4th was my edition too, and I loved too the George Perez cover... But nowadays, I found it too complex and I don't got so much time to dedicate to this!José Viruetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025986947484424808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-40869983189987108372011-05-03T23:22:51.890-04:002011-05-03T23:22:51.890-04:00I haven't even scratched the surface on how aw...I haven't even scratched the surface on how awesome Will's game was.<br /><br />PC heroes and villains, time travel, Cosmic Crisis one week, street level hate crime the next - it was unbelievable.

Not the games as a whole (I have 3 or 4 copies of Champions 4 floating around the house myself) as I have had some great times with them, but those great individual campaigns that sound just flat out awesome.<br /><br />I agree with you about that edition being a high water mark for the game. If <br />you can talk a group into letting you run it, I say go for it. If you can take some inspiration from that previous campaign then you really should do it. Enthusiasm like that is a powerful thing. Plus I'd like to read the writeups.Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-55817422234080896562011-05-03T19:49:50.117-04:002011-05-03T19:49:50.117-04:00Sadly that game is in a holding pattern at the mom...Sadly that game is in a holding pattern at the moment while my finances and gamer availability seek to align.<br /><br />:(Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-43581559991313581682011-05-03T12:04:14.602-04:002011-05-03T12:04:14.602-04:00So, BA, when are you going to write more posts abo...So, BA, when are you going to write more posts about your superhero WW2 campaign?Erin Palettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984632637166408245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-23446897806096274942011-05-03T08:18:38.634-04:002011-05-03T08:18:38.634-04:00At this point I believe I have played every Supers...At this point I believe I have played every Supers RPG ever put on the market, several free ones and done a homebrew or two. Supers gaming is my favorite after Star Trek and even preferred over non-Trek Sci-Fi at this point honestly.<br /><br />Part of the reason for this is my players (New York Group) are really into it and their enthusiasm inspires mine.<br /><br />While Mutants & Masterminds 3E is my all time favorite Supers game, I keep wondering if it is the best one for this group. Hence my interest in revisiting Champions.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-54269976421794941752011-05-03T02:59:27.659-04:002011-05-03T02:59:27.659-04:00Thick rulebooks and complicated mechanics always r...Thick rulebooks and complicated mechanics always ring alarm bells for me, but I would have given <i>Champions</i> a go if I'd ever encountered it. As it is, the only superhero game I've had any experience with is <i>Golden Heroes</i> and that was only a session or two.<br /><br />Alas, one of my current group hates superhero games with a passion, so that makes it difficult to try something new.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
