I have played Champions with this group & the GM 4 times now.  In all 4 sessions, there was a combat, and in 3 of them, I was knocked out for the duration of the combat.  Once I was running sniffle's character, and another time I was running an NPC.  This time I have tried making a character of my own and am doing my best to learn how to play her.Personally, the whole super heroes genre is not all that interesting to me to begin with.  So far, I think Champions is painfully complex and occasionally boring, and I am only playing because the GM kept inviting me and my husband, who is in the game, wanted me to try it again.At least I got to read some interesting articles in the Sunday paper. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (I wish Dave Barry weren't on vacation from writing, though).</blockquote>
