This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Champions Questions (4e).

Let's see... was Aaron Allston's STRIKE FORCE a 4th Edition book.
No, as I recall, it came out before 4th.
Get it anyway.  :D

I got Dark Champions.

What is StrikeForce about?

Quote from: Killfuck Soulshitter;629890I always thought Aaron Allston's Ninja Hero was pretty cool, though memory is hazy.

I didn't get that but my FLGS has it in their used bin. What's cool about it?

Ninja Hero has some great genre advice for running martial arts games, and the design sheets for  campaign parameters and MA styles are pretty useful. For me the level of crunch in Hero 4e is just right - you can run a game where the players can design their own styles and moves without getting bogged down.

It would be perfect to run an 80s style revenge story..."finally, we meet, Dr Wu! You thought your henchman Black Mantis would stop me?! Ha! My Fifth Thundering Waterfall technique will make short work of you too!"

Basically the game stats for the characters in Allston's own long-running game, which serve to give an idea of how character relationships, major villains and organizations, and so forth, all develop organically and intersect.  It also has a bunch of GM advice that ended up making its way into the Champions 4th Edition and later corebooks.
