Alternatively, the author might view both readings of the story as equally acceptible, and thus not want to comment. Especially in an ongoing series where the creator knows facts the fans don't, they might very well know for a fact that both fan theories have truth in them and thus not wish to take sides. In point of fact, there are good reasons many creators don't respond to requests for this: they want the fans to make their own interpretations. In many cases the authority does not feel the need to respond further pressure simply leads to suggestions that the fandom is misaimed. Such edicts can even go against events as were broadcast, due to someone making a mistake.įans may look for the Word of God to settle Fanon disputes, but the Authority may have moved on and doesn't care to respond. As noted, more trouble than it's worth.A statement regarding some ambiguous or undefined aspect of a work, the Word of God comes from someone considered to be the ultimate authority, such as the creator, director or producer. No.I can't see trying to incorporate 4th Ed. Last, of course.one thing I'm not gonna try is the cross-checking.what advantages are legal, which aren't, for a given power? What powers are legal in an EC? Doesn't interest me but it'd have to be done for a commercial product. Still quite a bit of work to do, and even more to clean up so, for example, power names display nicely. That's too much work!Īnd overall.this has been not too bad because Champs Now is *simple* compared to 6th Ed. I'm doing this for my amusement at this point. No, I'm NOT!!! gonna cross-check that a power's legal for inclusion in an EC. Then it'll be time for the frameworks, altho I don't believe those will be all that bad. I don't have Life Support or Enhanced Senses because these are structurally about the same as compound powers.a compilation of smaller sub-powers. Compound powers will be like in Hero Designer.a container for multiple simple powers. I believe I have all the "simple powers" as I call it, done and updating properly real-time.so if you add another floating teleport location, the active cost, real cost, and END are all properly updated. develop the GUIs, even in a very coarse form, to support data entry. And, a power can have one of three different basic END cost structures, AND not every advantage actually increases the END cost. combine everything properly.most particularly for Endurance, since Ron is using the nasty 3rd Ed endurance costs. develop a structure for powers to have adders and options identify all powers, implement minimum purchase amounts. I've been playing with implementing Ron's Champions Now! rules in Java, when I have the mental energy and alertness (sleep problems these days). While I'm completely open to people using the existing codebase for HD for other projects (including chargens), any products based off of said codebase would need to have an arrangement going in for ongoing royalties or up-front reimbursement - I've put a large amount of work into the code.while I'm not dependent on it, nor do I want to just give it away. It would need to be more of a labor of love than even HD was. And with an ever-diminishing audience for PnP RPGs. You have the upfront effort to convert the codebase over to iOS/Android/Windows/MacOS/Linux implementations, plus the ongoing maintenance of what would then be multiple codebases, support for any changes to the system going forward (7th Edition, etc.), and general support across platforms. Non -Java HD: potentially, but MAJOR hurdles in the way. The system has moved on - there's an ever-diminishing audience that would want a 4th edition chargen, making the proposition a hard one to justify beyond pure sentimentality. 4th Edition chargen: likely more work than it would ever return.
