I've heard it has one of the best magic systems in the Unisystem-uverse, better even than The Magic Box from Buffy.


I picked up the PDF a ways back but it hasn't reached the top of the rotation to read yet, I should probably bump it up a few notches.

I really really wanted to like Fuzion. I liked Interlock, thought it was cool in Mekton. I liked HERO (up to 4th edition), though even then it was pushing the limit of how much complexity I wanted.

A joining of the two, using the best from each, _sounded_ good.

Fuzion in Bubblegum Crisis was not to shabby.

Champions New Millennium was so 90s it hurts to look at it now. And the previous posters are right, the Fuzion rules read like a 0.6 or 0.7 version, not a fully playtested strong set of rules. Errata was printed in the back of the next two C:NM books.

The system was ....... okay. A whole bunch of new strangeness to learn, and in the end, I was honestly happier with HERO 4. I read the generic rules they released and was completely uninspired to run anything with them.

A revised or second edition would have cleaned things up greatly, I imagine. But after the first two C:NM supplements and a couple other Fuzion powered games (Armored Trooper Votoms and Dragonball Z), it disappeared like the morning dew after the sun rises. Neither Hero Games nor R. Talsorian really seemed to care about it anymore, and thus it went into the dustbin of history.

Currently running B2 using modified B/X rules for my group of friends. We can only meet once a month for a short time, so after a year they're only 2/3rds of the way clearing the Keep. Lots of monsters, loads of treasure, great fun!

Not playing currently, but running a B/X D&D game based around the Keep On The Borderlands, and god-DAMN is it like slipping into a really comfortable pair of shoes again. The rules are nice and light but don't mind that I brought my 3-ton toolbox of game mods, I can make rulings off the cuff because the engine is really familiar and operates like a well-oiled machine.

I snagged the hit dice rolling method from Stars Without Number, grabbed the hit-die-healing from 5E, threw in some Shields Shall Be Splintered, mixed thoroughly and baked at 525 degrees for four hours every few weeks. My recipe for fun!

Mekton Z with the technical manual makes my brain bleed. Fortunately the core book's construction system is robust enough for everything I've thrown at it so far, and people far and wide over the net have created everything else.

I just wish we'd see more Mekton books!!

There's something about a blank sheet of paper you use to make a character for the first time that makes it magical.

Aside from that, the green-sheet original B/X character sheet is awesome. I also like the Adventurer Conqueror King sheet, and the first edition Warhammer FRP sheet.

The classic Deadlands sheet also dripped with Western feel, and was useful to boot!

That's a great question. I know one FAQ and a few errata.
The Dragonsfoot FAQ is available here: https://www.dragonsfoot.org/la/articles/faq.shtml

For the errata, you have to dive into the internet archives of the original lejendary adventures website. You can find a "Lmerrata", "Ordererrata" and the "Playererrata" as pdf.

However, to my knowledge, they don't contain the latest post from Gary's in Dragonsfoot or Enworld.

Thanks for the pointers! I will investigate.

Another question - aside from the abilities of Health, Precision, and Speed, there is an optional 4th ability of Intellect. Does anyone play with this option?
