Shared Origins: The Dynatron

ADD TO WISHLIST >

SHARED ORIGINS: THE DYNATRON. A Champions Supplement of Characters and Concepts.

Power For Sale. A billion dollars, legal immunity, and a Nobel Prize. That's the supervillain Red Giant's price to reveal the secret of the Dynatron--his miracle machine that can give anyone super-powers. Nobody's met his price... yet.

For a mere half-million, you can step into the Dynatron and receive super-powers yourself. Lots of people take this offer: Gangs and governments that want super-thugs and super-soldiers; would-be villains in search of origins; established villains hoping for power-ups. Won't you join the list of satisfied customers?

Here's what you get in Shared Origins: The Dynatron:

* Background and game mechanics for the Dynatron--the Instant Origin Machine!

* Nine sample villains who gained their powers from the Dynatron, from the out-of-his-depth Mob enforcer Orb to the city-freezing Fimbulwinter. Each character comes with a complete character sheet, background, story seeds, and a full-color illustration.

* One sample hero, ready to play or use as an NPC.

* The story of how Red Giant invented the Dynatron and the consequences for him and his first supervillain team, the Rainbow Cartel.

* A brief discussion of "Power Vendors" as reusable sources of super-powered characters, with four more examples of this type of origin story.

* A look at the practical difficulties of selling super-powers and owning the most valuable machine in the world.

Uses the HERO System 6th Edition or Champions Complete.

THE SHARED ORIGINS SERIES

This series of mini-supplements for Champions provides "Origin Stories" that players and gamemasters can use for many different characters. Coming up with character origins is work; reusable origin gimmicks help you spend more time on character backgrounds and motivations, and less time explaining why they have super-powers in the first place. Shared origins can also tie characters together and provide story hooks.

Each supplement includes background information and game mechanics for one shared origin story, a ready-to-play sample hero, and a selection of sample villains. Supplements stand alone to make it easier to plug the sample characters and origin story into your own superhero setting.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
