The New Champions
The New Champions is a Hero System Champions game based in a modified version the Champions Universe. All the Heroes are dead, killed in an alternate universe version of September 11, 2001. Now, over four years later in February 2006 superhumans have returned to the world. No one knows why yet, but it's evident that the Superheroes and Supervillains are back. The campaign takes place primarily in New York City. Below you can find links to campaign details.
Campaign Start: The campaigns opens up with the origins stories of our new heroes. The starting characters are built on 250 Points (150 Base + 100 Disadvantages). The opening session of each character started them without Superpowers. Experience will be accelerated until the characters are standard 350 points Supers (200 Base + 150 Disadvantages). At that point Experience will be slowed down to more "normal" rates.
