Re: Young Champions

The second module is one for GURPS Supers called the School of Hard Knocks. This one introduces Cell 13 and some other familiar characters. The gist of this one is that new teenage supers are suddenly emerging in the campaign city. Cell 13 has dumped untested chemicals into the water supply many ...

Re: Young Champions

The second incarnation of Young Champions was not very memorable. The problem was that some of the players were your standard Champions players, while the others had their own unique view of things. Thus they didn't mesh well and ended up going their own ways and the game quickly died. It lasted 12 ...

Re: Young Champions

To understand where the Young Champions are going, let's take a look back and see where they have been.

Young Champions has an unusual place among all our titles. It's not part of the 'old stuff' like Avengers, X-Factor, Muskateer, Spectrum, Huntress, and Troubleshooters were. Nor is it 'brand new ...

Re: Video Games

BG2 picks up sometime after BG1, so you could transfer the same character from game to game. Some of the NPC's are the same in both games too. BG1 was a good game for its time, but after it pales to BG2. It was improved greatly and play was sped up considerably.
