    This is quite cool news. I keep wanting to play/GM a Champions game, and this kinda makes me want to do it even more.

    Kinda wish I had people locally to do a nice PnP game with. Champions is something I'd like to try.

    Its not quite the same as sitting around the table but programs like ventrillo and an online whiteboard can make it possible to get involved in PnP gaming even if you have no local options.

    I'm a Marvel (soon to be "Cortex Plus") Heroic Roleplaying goblin with no group, up until I decided to make my one.

    Have friends that enjoy super heroes?

    Buy the Champions PnP book, read it. Plan a session. Call them up. Teach them how to play. And there you have it!

    upon finding ou that mine was a baby dragon, put head in hands and said, to rest of the party . "hands up the dragon" since his head was in his hands, he didn't see 2 hands go up.
    Then wondered why everyone was laughing.

    I play Champions at GenCon almost every year and actually mock up my CO characters in the pnp world. For a system that seems so crunchy, it combat and task resolution flows very well.

    For character design, let me recommend Hero Designer. It does all the math for you. Character creation in Champions, while incredibly flexible, is every bit as complicated as it looks.

    BTW, I got my votes in.
