I'm going to take a sec to be an unalloyed fan boy here.
THANK YOU STEVE LONG!!!!
And here is why. Steve has given us darn good quality product from the Fifth Ed book, to the Champions stuff, to Star Hero to the Ultimate books. Each new publication is jammed with content. They have good to excellent art. They have nice fluffy bits thrown in with the crunch. And from a monetary outlay standpoint, they are wicked cheap when compared with the competition. (At least by page count. No other company even comes close in cost per page)
I've been playing Hero in one genre or another for nigh on 20 years now, and other than the Fuzion hiccup (Which did have some merit actually, it helped me get new players into the genre), I have never been disappointed.
But Steve has taken the high road with Hero Games. A product a month (or so, we all know RL happens) always at exceptionally high standards and at a price I can afford. I compare this to the only other system I've been playing for that long, and find myself making easy decisions. Do I buy the latest completely unbalanced/unplaytested/barely edited product from Whackos Of Total Carnage, or do I spend less and get more from Hero? Simple math to me.
Steve, thank you from the bottom of this longtime gamer's heart for making a company that cares about the quality of the product and the budget of the consumer at the same time.
All Hail Hero.
