Champions was released at Origins VII July 3rd - 5th, back in 1981. Happy (approximate) birthday, Champions, whose complex rules had surprisingly little positive effect on my ability to do math on the fly.
If there's one aspect of the 21st century that seems utterly bizarre to me, an old who has been playing TTRPGs since the field was six years old, it's the idea of so many TTRPG gamers being angry with and derisive of the publisher of DnD for regrettable business decisions. I mean, who didn't love it when TSR went after fan sites, published those cool plastic players boxes, or decided not to honour S&T subscriptions after the SPI takeover?
