How many do YOU have?

[Ghost Archer]

I read on the boards all the time about 'which should I buy first" when it comes to the HERO books. I actually want to know what people HAVE bought, hence this poll. I'll just ask about the post-FREd stuff since there happen to be ten.

I have all ten since I picked up USPD yesterday.

[Tclynch]

I own them all, except the Genre books. More sourcebooks, please!:D

[Edsel]

I too own all of them. I also own almost everything from 1st Edition on. One of the virtures of being single is the ability to buy the new gaming stuff you want when it hits the shelves. Even if it might be a questionable purchase you don't have to worry about how the rest of the home folks will react.

[Derek Hiemforth]

Also guilty of owning all. :)

[JmOz]

I own 80%, missing Terrian and UNTIL Database

I will most likely not be getting Terrian (I have little interest in it) as for UNTIL I may or may not (I tend to view it as a Hero Primer to power building, useful, but as I enjoy coming up with powers and my experience with the system, only mildly useful)

[Peregrine]

I know the poll is limited to 10, but you overlooked the Bestiary...

GA counts his books over, frantically looking for the missing Bestiary and finds it in the laptop case where he's been using it at work.

"Okay, I screwed up, but like Peregrine said, I was limited to ten."

Yup. Even Road Kill, Clown, Seven Horsemen (ok I don't have Autodueling Champions:)).

Hmm . . . I have Autoduel Champions but does that count as HERO?

[lemming]

I think I'm missing a couple of the older edition books, but I do have the X-Men writeup from Different Worlds (I think that's the magazine...)
I do know I'm missing Horror Hero and possibly CyberHero...
And I think Autoduel Champions should count, since I do own a copy. :D

Gah, I need to organize my computer/game storage room.

[Lord Mhoram]

I own them all- As well as all th digital hero, and the Kandris Seal.

And like others it is a guilty pleasure to have everything back to first edition. Including the dual statted superworld, autoduel champs, the Firebird Ltd stuff... and Wings. But enough gloating. :p

I and one other person have HERO pulls like comics pulls at the comic/game shop I work at. If it is a HERO book, we buy it. Now I get them at cost (whoops I said I wouldn't gloat) so I'm happy. When I showed my friend the release schedule for next year his eyes widened and he said "hooboy, guess I'll have to save a little".

So not only do I have all the 5th ed stuff, but will get it all as well.

[Ghost Archer]

How about E-Books? Got all those too? I do.

[Gary Ciaramella]

I will own all of them, I just need more cash to spend... but over time I will complete the set. Hero System, gotta buy em all!

yep.

[misterdeath]

I've got all the Hero product that's been put out since I started with my 1st printing BBB.

Nothing earlier though.

[keithcurtis]

I've got all the 5th books, plus about 90% of the pre-fifth. Sigh... I permanently lent my first edition Champions to a friend a long time ago....

[Derek Hiemforth]

I own all the books listed on my big list o' Hero System books at the page in my sig line. :)

I agree. Western Hero wasn't bad, just a bit muddled. I even have Horror Hero (needed better direction) and Cyber Hero (needed someone to edit the cyberware so it was legal...). I also have Mythic Greece, Robin Hood, and Pirates, the ICE Rolemaster/HERO x-over books.

Oh, and I own Allies (I liked it, mostly), Normals Unbound (a great book for ideas), and... *gasp* European Enemies...

[Blue]

When I ran early on, I bought anything that looked cool and I could afford. Then when my game world got so built up with stuff I had made, I stopped buying every supplement and only bought the crunchy stuff (Champions II, III).

Now that 5e is out, I buy *Everything*. I'm compulsive about it, you might say. I mean, I'll never have the chance to run Star Hero or Ninja Hero, but I bought them anyway. And when Fantasy Hero comes out I'll buy that too, even though we're flooded in fantasy games.

[Klabautermann]

I try to get anything as soon as it trickles down to my FLGS. Living in Germany this is not so fast. Recently the situation became better. For FREd I had to wait over 5 month, MC I received in May.
On older stuff I own the BBB and other than HorrorHero all the genre books of the 4th plus 3rd StarHero. There was never a big impact from HERO in Germany. But every time I skip throug my "Das Schwarze Auge" Fantasy RPG - the most popular fantasy RPG in Germany, going to be released as The Dark Eye in USA this year - I find myself thinking: There would be a market. ;)

[Jhaierr]

I own them all! :D

[Static UK]

Gott'em all, plus Beatiary and Resource Pack. Got all them Digital Hero issues too. Even got the Kandris Seal as well. Also, everything from the BBB onwards, except Western Hero for some reason(:confused:), including the Deluxe BBB with Heromaker! I aslo have many of the e-books; PRIMUS, Ultimate Super Mage, USM Bestiery, some Horror suppliment, and others I cannot remember off the top of my head. :)

I also have quite a lot of the pre-BBB stuff, but there are plenty of gaps here and there.

Still waiting for Millennium City to arrive at the FLGS.

You have it! I know it would be futile to try and get the magazine itself, but can you tell me the Issue number. I've been looking for the it a while now and the search would be easier with a number.

lemming,

Thank you very much.

[Agent 537]

I own all the printed 5th Edition stuff to this point. Have downloaded or could download all Digital Hero copies, just been lax in doing so. Have yet to get any of the new ebooks or similar products; it's on the list. Got Hero Designer. Although I have zero interest in running/participating in a fantasy campaign, I will be picking up Fantasy Hero for the magic stuff. And will probably pick up the fantasy supplements just 'cause I'm a completist. I don't know if I'll be able to talk myself into getting Herosphere, tho. Maybe if I get that dream job I've been waiting to hear about for nearly two years now. And I'm ruminating on a shirt. :D

[Alibear]

Havn't got USPD yet but it is only a matter of time. Mwahahahaha.

[Chuk]

Which box do I click if I don't have any of those? I've only got FREd so far.

That's okay, I am sure everything else will be available for a very long time. :D

[rayoman]

I have them all, including the Resource Kit which was left off the list (at least I didn't see it).

I am finishing up a DnD 3E campaign then I am D20 out! I will play Champions then await Fantasy Hero.
