By "DEA Book" you mean the DOS (Directive on Superpowers) which was
ostensibly published by the DEO (Department of Extranormal
Operations)? There was also the DEO Agent Handbook.

I know there are a few web supplements, but the only one I know a URL
for offhand is "MEMOS CENSORED BY THE D.E.O."

http://silver-gateway.com/rc/deo/index.html

This is stuff that David and Peter wrote for the DOS that didn't make
it into either that or the Agent Handbook (space considerations for
the most part). Mostly little character bits, nothing "crunchy" that
I can think of.

Hey Simon.

Good to have you on board. I live in Argentina, and so
far nobody from your vicinity (allentown, pa) has said
howdy, aside from you.

The KC project sounds sweet, lemme know how it goes.

Champions is too crunchy for my tastes, but to each
his/her own, right?

I am just starting to play this system and I really don't know
much about it. I played Marvel way back in the late 80's. But went
on to play other RPG's.
      I am glad that there is a group that I get info from.

                Stealth

Has anybody done a writeup for the movie versions of the following
in the DCU RPG mode?
Constantine
Catwoman (halle berry's)
Van Hellsing
The Underworld Vampires
The Underworld Werewolves (Lycans)

I have three Mutants and Mastermindsbooks I'd like to unload. I have
the main rule book, Freedom City,and the Annual #1. These are like
new, and I'll sell them for $65 or $68 for express shipping. There is
nothing at all wrong with these either except for my inability to
adapt to D20... I am a dinosaur. I prefer WEG's DCU RPG and Mayfairs
EGS. (Though the diceless Marvel Universe RPG is sweet, but I
digress).
And... while I'm here, I also have a copy of Blood of Heroes Special
Edition is good condition I'd sell if someone is interested. Just
drop me an email:awrathbone2@... I'll sell it for $18- that's
$15 plus $3 for S/H at book rate or fist class. Make it $20 and I'll
express it. I have every edition of DC Heroes and 100 pages or so of
house rules, so I don't really need it. That is to say, there's
nothing wrong with it. :)


Let me know if there are any interested parties.
Thanks all, Al

I just discovered that I am missing this book, does anyone know of a
good used source to purchase it? I hunted all weekend with no luck.

Also, was wondering...has anyone used the material from the D6 Adventure
book with their DCU games, we were thinking about playing, but my
players want to use D6 Adventure instead of the old D6-Legend system.

Last time I asked Nikki if she could give me the errata for the DCU
books and some of the downloadable goodies she said NO. As kindly as
usual, but NO.

My bet is she ain't gonna agree with book scanning... she still work
for WEG.

Considering that it was "work for hire," that alone won't be enough. You
and Peter don't own the copyright (though he's OK with scans, too, FWIW).

Someone might check with Nikki, to see what she has to say.

Ok, as many of you know there is only the core rulebook available as
pdf file in the internet. To expand our database and so that everyone
can have access to the sourcebooks information, I suggest that we
gather our forces to scan the other books.
I have the following books:

The basic set (rulebook, magic handbook, directive on super powers,
D.E.O manual, narrator's book, narrator's screen)
JLA sourcebook
Gotham City Sourcebook

But i don't have the JSA Sourcebook, Metropolis sourcebook and the
daily planet guides.

We could split the work among the members (the willing ones), scan
those books and that way preventing this game to go down the drain
and incite people to play it again.

I also have a lot of material made by me (new dramatic cards, new
fate cards, write-ups, etc) and material created along with the other
players of the Blüdhaven Campaign we have going on.
I'll be posting that material at this Yahoo! Group (don't worry I
won't use all the storage since u guys seem to be planning to save
other files here too)

As for the scanning process, please contact me at
meninblackrpg@... (MSN) or e-mail meninblack@... I
prefer the former one.

Let's revive the DC Universe RPG my brothers!

So......

TOOOOONY... no pimpin' SW here. Bad boy. :O

As for systems, I like M&M over DCU. Yep. It's rock solid, but more
complicated nonetheless, and while has none of the clunky d20
mechanics... makes you remember it more often than not.

I'd run Freedom City with M&M. (But currently my system of choice is
MEGS, aka DC Heroes, aka Blood of Heroes ;) )

In all honesty...

and don't throw stones at me here fella's..

But I gotta tell ya M&M is a sweet little game engine that doesn't
need any fixin'..If I was was running Freedom City I'd stick with
M&M...I am not a d20 fan by any means, but, M&M took that system and
turned it into something very cool. In fact I think they have one of
the best game engines out there..


Second only to Savage Worlds..but that is another topic all together.

Just to start a discussion.

Have any body of you played Muntants and Masterminds from Green Ronin?

What do you think about it? I'm planning to adapt the Freedom city campaing
to DCU. Does it worth it? Or it's better to play it w/ M&M?

Any comment will help. Thanks.

I'll take it you meant that metaphorically to include players of all
genders :-) :-) :-).

Anyway, I've added all the links (updated as needed) and files from from
the old list to this one, with the exception of:

Files > Game Aids > dc heroes mini.zip "dc mini"

Since everything else worked, the only thing I can figure is that it was
timing out on me on the upload, so maybe someone with broadband can cover
that one :-).

Hi you all,

I always try to balance characters, and make suggestions to the players in
order to archieve the appropiate feel and fit the PC in my campaing. If I
think that a limitation is too unbalancing, then I try to advice the player
and make a deal with her. I wouldn't do a limitation-cost house rule because
this kind of rules usually become too strong and bonding (I'm not sure this
is the right exprosion) both for Players and Narrators.

Just my 2 cents.

Regards,

Quim

I certainly don't have a problem with it, though I'd prefer someone
with a faster connection than ours (sighs remembering when 56K felt
fast) do this :-).

Morgan  /|\

Do any of you limit the cost of limitations taken during character
creation. For example, if someone selects invisibility at 6D which
would cost 13D, would it be acceptable to then take a limitation of
weakness to kryptonite -7D, and linked at -4D to give them a total
cost of 2D?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks.

Kail

Can we move over the files from the old site. Maybe download them and
upload them here. I found the excel database for character creation
and the sourcebooks great, although I updated the database with extra
fields and included more advantages and disadvantages. I didn't want
to post my updated version unless it was acceptable with Pat.
