Champions and Hero Games have always been about the stories -- from the slapstick of Foxbat to the tragic Battle of Detroit, generations of gamers have told rich and meaningful stories in the world of Champions. Help tell more stories in the Champions universe with Storium, a new storytelling game that will now include Champions as an official setting!

Your storytelling breathes creativity and innovation into the setting, whether you're playing in Champions Online or running a Hero Games campaign. Like all of you, we grew up reading comic books and playing video games, and we want to do everything we can encourage the creation of these stories.

Protagonist Labs in San Jose feels the same, and we're proud to announce that they're going to make the Champions setting part of their new game: Storium - The Online Storytelling Game. Storium wants to invoke that same sense of wonder and splendor, and with their Kickstarter, they're making that a reality.

Read on for more details about Storium, and make sure to spread the word to your friends.

Storium is a web-based online game that you play with friends. It works by turning writing into a multiplayer game. With just your computer, tablet, or smartphone, you can choose from a library of imaginary worlds to play in, or build your own. You create your story’s characters and decide what happens to them. You can tell any kind of story with Storium. The only limit is your imagination.

Storium uses familiar game concepts inspired by card games, role-playing games, video games, and more. In each Storium game, one player is the narrator, and everyone else takes on the role of a character in the story. The narrator creates dramatic challenges for the other players to overcome. In doing so, they move the story forward in a new direction. Everyone gets their turn at telling the story.

We're proud to have Storium showcasing the Champions Universe! Thank you Champions, for helping make this happen!
