Yeah but some were weaknesses. Also some of the classes of animal were funny.

That's the fun of rolling on random tables.

Unless you end up with 4 hit points of course. *Laughs*

The Legion of Superheroes always seemed like they had been rodomly generated. Very little balance.

"Don't listen to that Nazi swine!"

*Reaches for an initiative dice*

I love the Legion of Superheroes. The reason they are unbalanced is that,  well, I think they were designed that way deliberately so that they have to work in teams so that hey can be effective. Also when you have someone like Monel and Superboy on your team, everyone else is weak by comparison.

How about the Avengers, Wasp and Thor on the same team!?

Long Live the Legion!

And Avengers Assemble. :)

That's one of the things I like about V&V.  You can get "Wasp" and "Thor" on the same team.  Give a bunch of CHAMPIONS players x amount of points, and there's no way...

We were playing ICONS (similar to V&V in that it has random generation) the other weekend.  ONE character can fly.  Out of 5. None of the others have a movement power.

I don't see that often in point-buy systems.

In a point based system the gm really has to set guidlines and limits for how to spend points and decide what powers he wants in his campaign. That has been my experience, both as a GM and as a player. You can have a fun game with any system, if the GM and the players want to use the system.

I will admit to missing the game that this character is in and lamenting the other two characters I had made not having the chance to get rolling. Real life does often wreak havoc with PbP games however, so what can one do?

Nobody seems to have mentioned my favorite system: Aberrant.
Based on the d10 White Wolf system, with super powers.

It's companion, Aeon Trinity, was also a cool game.


Has anyone here played 'Danger Patrol' ... simply the coolest game ever, if not technically a super hero game.

Magnette ia have Aberrant but have never gotten to play it.

I recently picked up a very rules light supers game called Supers!, written by the same guy who created Barbarians of Lemuria. The game looks pretty cool and looks like it would be pretty quick to put a character together. It isn't a random system like V&V which is good or bad depending on how an individual looks at it.

Added a Danger Room section as well.

Feel free to go in and throw down the Gauntlet.

A heads up. Please post at the top of your character description which game your character was generated.  In my opinion all the characters that we add here should be generated in an rpol game where you are or were a player. That way we can keep the pool fairly pure. Hopefully other GMs can use the pool to recruit heroes for their games.

I fear otherwise we will end up with a bunch of power gamer self created characters here. I can make a thread for outside character heroes for those characters.

I have posted the information about what game my character was generated in where you asked for it. Can I go have a nap now?

Lol.

Good idea.  Will do.  I'll put into descr AND char sheet.

Btw, can people roll char's up here?  Is that legit, or ...?

That is an interesting question. For me I think for someone that wants to join and does not have a character in an RPOL game and wants to have one that would be cool. But for those of us with character's already I think it would counterproductive and would just cluter the place up.

There are still lots of VnV players out there on rpol we have not recruited yet. I would like to get them all to check in and help us.


What do the rest of you think?

On 2nd thought, the purpose of this 'forum' is not char gen, so I'd say nope.

V&V char-gen requires GM interaction, so I'd say no.

It might be good to have a thread which shows VnV games recruiting players...?

That would probably go in the Seeking Players Thread. Don't see why we would need an extra thread. That work for you?

Aha, you are waaaaay ahead of me!

Done.

I notice that the Tampa Titans GM still has the game active, but has deleted all the PCs.   I find this intriguing.

That seems a bit strange.

Indeed and I ended up having to try and find Stormstrike's stuff elsewhere but he is missing his description and his armor.....his background is still around though.
