[Fuzion] anyone play it?

[ShinHakkaider]

the 4th edition Champions? Yes, sadly, I've played it.

I dont think Fuzion was 4th ED champions. 4th Ed Champions came out in the late 80's I think. The big Blue book with the George Perez cover of Dr. Destroyer vs. Seeker.

Fuzion came out in the period between 4th and 5th.

We Champions fans like to call that "the dark times"....

Actually, it was a pretty good time called 4E.

Easy to ignore that other silly stuff.

it kinda sucks, especially in it's handeling of DBZ. We had hundreds of house rules just to satisfy our need for the game to be exactly like the show. it seemed like the writers never even watched the shows there stuff was based on and just kind of threw stuff together.

So, a single battle took 20-30 gaming sessions to finish?

It's been about ten years since I've played Fuzion, but I have good memories of it. The group used it as an expansion for Mekton Zeta, though, so there wasn't much in the way of interpersonal combat.

Never played it.

I do love the suppliment Atomic Aliens though, I stat them up in there and then convert to another system.

The BBG implementation was pretty poor IMO. I liked the "New Champions" version and was really jazzed about Shards of the Stone.

Since Shards fell apart from the Fuzion community and then went Five Stat, I'm left in the lurch. The only superhero players in my area are Hero System addicts and I just can't bring myself to be that masochistic anymore. Any game system where you have to define the correct order of operation for sequential mathematical operations is just too much work, IMO. This is coming from someone who finds EarthDawn to be a simple and elegant system!

New Champions (Fuzion) was a great super hero game for people who want more granularity than the d20 Silver Age game and more abstraction than Hero System.

Correct on all counts. That said, Fuzion is a 'fuzion' of Interlock and Hero. You're right though -- New Champions came after Champions 4e (which used ONLY the Hero System as the Big Blue Book).
