Add article description

Alliances is a supplement published by Hero Games in 1997 for the superhero role-playing game Champions.

Publication history

Hero Games published the Champions superhero role-playing game in 1981. They later supported the Fuzion rules system used in Champions with two supplements: Alliances (1997) and Bay City (1997). These two were the only books published for use with the Champions Fuzion system.[1]: 140 

Alliances details five organizations, including a summary of their history, and the facilities owned by each. The organizations include:

  • The Arcadian Academy (a superhero training school)
  • the Guard (a paramilitary organization)
  • Oddyssey Research Centre (specializing in the development of robots and time machines)[2]

The book also includes a number of short adventure hooks.[2]

Reception

In the February 1998 edition Dragon (Issue #244), Rick Swan found the adventure hooks "intriguing", but warned that the book wasn't for everyone: "If you’re a light-‘n’-easy Legion of Super Heroes kinda guy, Alliances is right up your alley. But if you’re the grim-‘n’-gritty Image Comics type, this’ll seem about as interesting as a compendium of daycare centers."[2]
