I figured it would be a good idea to point people towards resources that actually make art more accessible.

Heromachine 3

Two of my Marvel Super Heroes(FASERIP) characters with images & homemade trading cards

I had two main characters I played in the Marvel Super Heroes RPG in recent years. I used HeroMachine 3 a lot, for these and other RPG characters and monsters. Sadly it's not available any longer. (There's a way to run it on your PC but I can't get it to work correctly. I see they "fixed" 2.5 so I'm going to check that out after I finish this!)

To the point: I really liked these two characters, and I decided to make a sort of character sheet that was modeled on these old Marvel comic book trading cards we used to buy when we were kids. I'd like to share those, and the backgrounds of the characters. I hope you enjoy them, and feel free to make use of them in your own games if you wish.

The Frank trading card has a different, more friendly/cutesy/cartoonish image than the original I had put together. This is because Frank was an idea I had had several years prior for a game that didn't quite work out, and in the interim I had misplaced the image and had to create a new one! The "cards" were made in 2017. (I also, rather embarrassingly, reversed the shadows and highlights on Frank's pants in the original image - ack!)

The Doodle Bug image doesn't include the "doodle shell" because I just didn't have any way to create it. I'm no artist. I think Doodle Bug is my favorite character. The card has a blank "as a power stunt ___ times" so that I could use the card as a character sheet and track uses of power stunts.

For the record, the character was always intended to have art that could interact with things, but I didn't know it was only an option in Marvel - in DC Heroes, it's a part of the "animate image" power, which is at least partially where I originated the character concept. Even though the Judge would let you have whatever you wanted within reason, and if I had written it down at the beginning they'd have let me have it, and only didn't due to a misunderstanding, they refused it and I had to learn it as a power stunt. As far as I'm concerned, canonically, the character is as intended, with this other individual's game reflecting an alternate universe version. (I never dug the whole "superheroes as cops" thing anyway and it was the second Marvel game in a row I was in that pulled that stuff.)

Doodle Bug

Background: Lori R. Manley and William Scoggins went from teenage friends to down-on-their-luck petty crooks.

It was then that Scoggins(a security guard by trade) revealed what he had created - a suit he had modified based on schematics and parts he had copied and/or pilfered from a company he contracted for. The suit enabled him to fly, gave him radar sense, and three types of gas attacks: a knockout gas, a fog, and most fun of all for a thrill-seeker like Scoggins, a nauseating spray. With this suit, under the identity Stink Bug, they would be able to make a lot more money(and he would get some exciting new kicks).

Lori, both excited at the news and finding a perfect opportunity to reveal her own abilities, admitted that she had a mutant power - she could draw sketches at lightning speed that could come to life! Suggesting that her powers could also match her lovers' bug theme, they set about at once to build her a suit of her own. The result was the Doodle Shell. Made up of interlocking steel plates, they are worn on the back as a shell. As desired, the Doodle Shell will "curl," the plates shifting forward and forming a wheel-shape which protects the whole body and allows the wearer to roll("Hyper-Running") to safety. When not "curled," the wearer is protected by the shell from behind and has the ability to dig, thanks to a harness connected to the hands and attached to the shell.

Taking the name Doodle Bug, she and her partner Stink Bug carried on the lives of petty super villains, never killing anyone or displaying any real sociopathic tendencies. They were like loser versions of Alias Smith and Jones.

This lasted until a job where they were hired by the psychopathic scientist Dr. A. Namoli to combat their mutual arch-nemeses: Fluid, the Grey Hurricane and the Hyena. When the Bothersome Bugs realized Dr. Namoli was actually going to disperse their enemies' atoms into another dimension, they turned on their boss, saving the heroes and quickly escaping.

Deliberating on their careers and considering the newest turn of events, the two unanimously decided that criminals and villains were losers by nature and that being heroes seemed much more entertaining and profitable. Never really having their hearts in being truly "bad" to begin with, they began a new stage in life. The Belligerent Beetle and the Impetuous Insect were no longer petty, selfish supervillains with delusions of grandeur: they were now petty, selfish superheroes with delusions of grandeur. And the world is a slightly better place for it.

Frank

Background: A.I.M., researching the legends of Frankenstein, discovered that the stories were based on fact, and that the "monster" was created not from dead body parts but almost as something of a golem. Reproducing Frankenstein's experiments, they created a monstrosity to aid them in their goals. Unfortunately for them, this creature was not naturally inclined to evil and escaped. Discovering the truth of his past, the creature named itself Frank. Frank, despite being a "monster" and a "freak," is not only good-natured but also possessing a fine sense of humor and a positive outlook on existence, and enjoys defeating the forces of crime and evil while pondering his existence.

Much like the creature of lore, Frank is very tall, muscular and broad, with yellow, translucent skin through which veins, arteries and muscle can be seen, with pale, yellow, watery eyes. Though this differs from the popularized film version of the monster, Frank's powers also differ somewhat from what is expected, such as his ability to separate parts of his body which may act under his power.

Gloriana

Sasha Stevens was an impulsive teenager. Never one to think twice, often encouraged by her friends, she bounced constantly between adventures and mishaps. But going on a hike in the middle of a thunderstorm? That was a bit much, even for Sasha's friends. The school camp still had three days left, they said, and the rain would clear soon.

Undeterred, Sasha snuck out anyway. She found the storm glorious, the driving rain energising and the thunder empowering.

All was well, until she was stuck by lightning. But instead of being hurt, Sasha's body was covered in arcing electricity. Blinded by the arcs leaping from her body, she stumbled back to camp, terrified. On seeing Sasha, the teachers panicked, except one. This teacher called her father, the retired hero Red Shield. With his help, Sasha was able to calm down, and stop the lightning.

In the months following, Sasha’s powers continued to develop. Red Shield became her mentor, helping to stop her from accidentally summoning storms or taking out the neighbourhood’s power.

Red Shield discouraged her from becoming a superhero, but as usual Sasha refused to listen. A man with powers of persuasion called Kredit King was terrorising her community. To protect them, Sasha donned a costume and took the name Gloriana. She quickly busted up Kredit’s operation, driving him out of the city.

Flush with success, Gloriana continued on as a hero, under the watchful eye of Red Shield. She became a well-respected figure in the city.

two years later, when the Gabbot System invaded, Gloriana rushed to join the other heroes in the first assault against them. But protective as ever, Red Shield told her to stay back, and went instead.

The assault went terribly. A number of heroes were killed, and Red Shield was seriously injured. Gloriana, who had mostly listened to her mentor, swept in as the Gabbots advanced, summoning the largest storm she could to give the rest of the heroes time to retreat.

Impatiently, she watched as the Gabbot robots secured a beachhead and constructed their Core Mine, waiting for Red Shield to heal. With the morale of Earth's heroes at an all-time low, Gloriana continued on alone. She battled Gabbot patrols, and tried to encourage other heroes to step up. But most were unwilling, distrustful of her youthful energy.

However, a few were inspired by her. Elementress, fresh from retirement. Big Blue, returning from Space. Fantomah, defender of The Jungle. El Dorado, young, eager and untested. Pekapeka, the ghost. Together with herself and Red Shield, they formed The Protectors. A small group, perfect for infiltrating the Gabbot System stronghold.

The plan was a stealth attack: break the Core Mine drill and disrupt the robot's mainframe. But the team was too inexperienced to do it without notice. The stealth attack turned into an all-out battle, and for the first time in her life Sasha was fully focused. She directed the others from the air, using her lightning to clear a path. Combining their objectives, Gloriana and her team of heroes threw the Gabbot mainframe into the mine, destroying both. Without their central command, the robots became easy targets. The Protectors wasted no time in driving the Gabbot System off the Earth.

Gloriana is the driving force behind The Protectors. Enthusiastic and powerful, Gloriana inspires the team in their defence of Earth.

Suggest games with good character creation please?

Suggest games with good character creation please? Looking for games with good character customizationI basically need the glorified character creation engines that may or may not have gameplay as a bonus.What I REQUIRE:A game has many clothing/armor options, preferably in different stylesMany hair options and various accessories, hats, glasses, masks, etcIt is possible to change body shape and height (medium priority)The clothing items (or at least most of them) are available at once (no paywalls or "kill this dude to get that armor") and I don't have to spend too much time to unlock themPC only, and preferably something that doesn't weigh 200 GBThings I DON'T CARE FOR:A hundred face sliders. Having a good face gen is a bonus, but my main aim is good item varietyStunning ultra graphics (I mean, the graphics should not be vanilla Minecraft, but if there are good old games with good variety...)Games/tools I already know about and use:Champions online (had to buy/grind a few costume parts packs though) - near total hitCity of Heroes - total hit (so many of everything and last time I checked all was available from the start without paywalls because the game is legally dead)Saints Row series - partial hit (nice in-game shops one has to drive to, unfortunately not all items in one place)Hero Forge mini figures creator - partial hit (so much stuff deeply customizable and free, but I want normal characters and not minis)2D stuff like Heromachine, Fabrica de Herois - partial hit (because 2D)What WON'T DO AT ALL:Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3/New Vegas - no clothes customization during the character creation and I don't care for 50 facial sliders, better give me 50 kinds of eyesDC universe online (have to hunt for those costume pieces, the pieces available during character creation are few)So, thank you for reading this long post, waiting eagerly for your suggestions.And before you redirect me to an old post Google shows when asked for games with good character creation, I've read it, but it's a bit vague and it's clear its author and I have different goals and therefore not all games from that post will suit me. Thanks in advance and how foolish would I feel if this thing gets deleted for missing some technicality... Submitted May 21, 2024 at 11:36AM by Malfarro https://ift.tt/pFvXZA5 via /r/gaming

You can still play old flash games!!!

1. Download the flash player - “flash debugger” at this link: https://web.archive.org/web/20220331041154/https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/32/flashplayer_32_sa_debug.exe

2. Find the .swf file: go to the website that has the game you want, right click, “Inspect” or “Inspect Element,” search until you find the file (some are helpfully labelled, some are ... not)

3. Copy the file name or download the file (paste the file name into your browser and it’ll download)      Note: some downloaded files may not have everything you need to run the game      Note: you can use the file name to play the game even when offline

4. Open the flash player, use the menu to open the .swf file - either paste the file name in the box, or use “browse” to select the downloaded file

I just found this out while checking to see if heromachine had an alternative up, and now I can play Papa’s Cupcakeria again! :) :) :)

If you want to get Heromachine, look up Flashpoint. It's a project aiming to preserve just about everything Flash related. Heromachine 1, 2 and 3 are all available thanks to FP. That, and like a million of your childhood memories as well.

How did you do the face claims for your OCs? I made mine in HeroMachine 3, but I would like to see who the closest looking people out there are to them. Did you find a special website or something to do it?

oh!! i actually found most of mine (if not all) on Pinterest! 

just search up very basic appearance points (hair color/style, eye color etc) and then click through results and their recommendations! it took me...months to find some, because most of my facelcaims i stumbled across at random on my startpage! 

personally, it’s rare to find something on a first, direct search and usually the gems are hidden in the recommended that’ll get thrown at your startpage after the initial search.

or you might find an account that has a board/section dedicated to random faceclaims! like this one!

another way to get faceclaims/lookalikes that i know but don’t use a lot - are tumblr blogs!! 

here are some faceclaim resources on tumblr:  x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x 

and one more option - in my opinion the hardest to get right - is Artbreeder!

Artbreeder allows you to mess with all kinds of settings and create a portait! either realistic or stylized!

the mechanics can be tough to get a hang of, but once you got a basic understanding of all the settings/functions you can make some really decent faceclaims!! 

i have faceclaims for most my OCs already but i made some of mine for the fun, to see how close i could get to their actual appearance. 

if anyone wants to use artbreeder and/or struggles with it, i would love to help out! i’m not perfect with it but i at least know how to get past the terrifying abominations you can accidentally make,,,
