I am most looking forward to...

CHAMPIONS supplements. Which one are you dying to see?

( I was going to include more than champions but realized you can only squeeze ten items in a poll. So there you have it.) And the vehicle sourcebook isn't strictly champions.

I want to see Villiany Amok. I always like to see new characters (whether they're heroes or villians). I like to see other people's takes on different powers, backgrounds, etc.

Pulp HERO! Pulp HERO! Pulp HERO!

Which isn't on the list for some reason.:mad:

I think Villiany Amok will be a plot booklet which will describe various classic bits from the superhero genre. I really don't think there will be new characters in the book. I could be wrong though.

The Legion sourcebook will roc...oh,wait...thats Galactic Champions. Oh well, same difference;)

Probably becasue it's a list of <I>Champions</i> supplements, not <i>HERO</i> supplements...

I went with The Mystic World. The CU has a very big mystic origin so anything which adds to that is only good, IMO. To be honest though, I could have picked almost every single book on that list as a must have. The only three I am not overly excited about are Dark Champions (I'm not a fan of the genre), Gadgets & Gears (I have few tech-based villains, and almost everything else I can steal from the VIPER book) and HERO System Vehicle Sourebook (really do not have much use for vehicles in my games. They are usually just transportation devices).

All the books are will buys though, and will all be on my preorder list as we grow closer to publication time.

My apologies, it appears fom elsewhere that Pulp Hero would be considered a Champions supplement. Why is this? When is something superheroes and not just heroic? Wizards have powers. Pulp heroes will probably not be built on 200+150 points. What's the cutoff?

My guess is that the Pulp heroes will fall into the 100+100 range. Mr. X in MC is a 227 character (100+125) and he is a Golden Age super, so I would guess the Pulp Heroes will be slightly lower than that.

Pulp Hero, to me, sounds Dark Champions w/o the "Dark". Seems to me it would be the same general point range just a different 'tude. But then who knows what lurks in the heart and mind of Steve.

Whats not listed and should be IMO is a book detailing the most prominent Super Teams and solos of the CU, spanning geographical boundaries. A chubby 5e Allies book basically.

Id also like to see more on the IHA and Mutants in general, to the point that Im tempted to write one on it for myself. Ive been running a fairly generic background element on it between the IHA and "M-Force" (yeah yeah, I know. What can I say, MLF was taken {ducks and runs}), with the two fighting it out in darkest Africa, South America, and parts of Asia (I have the IHA doing most of their dirty deeds in out of the way places where Western Media doesnt go, and M Force ranges around to fight them. M Force has been represented as fairly large, with perhaps hundreds of members and multiple combat teams of 5-10 Mutants with "conflict-capable" mutations.

White Dwarf, currently on a stint as a PC for one of the other players is highly placed in M Force http://www.killershrike.com/MillennialMen/CharacterFiles/White%20Dwarf.HTML

and Slinger, a character I did for Enforcers Inc. was previously a member of M Force.

http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=112939#Slinger

Nevertheless, Id be very curious to see the official take on the IHA and any oppositional organizations/individuals.

The Legion of Superheroes has been my favorite comic from the day I started collecting comics; thus my answer here is obvious.
And whoever writes/is writing that... if the legion isn't amoung thier favorite comics, they should get someone else to do it.

IIRC El Presidente Darren Watts himself will be writing Galactic Champions, partly because he is a major Legion fan. :cool:

We need Until and Primus books to go with Viper!

Well thats ok then.
I loved the fact that a fixed multipower slot was named an Ultra; which could only have been named for Ultra Boy. Obvious that writers of the original game were fans. :D

[misterdeath]

All of em.

Since I can't pick more than one, Galactic Champions.

D

[Sketchpad]

I actually went with G&G because I love the idea of a gadgets catalog :D But I'm also looking foward to Galactic Champions (fellow Legion fan here), Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth (Coooobr ... uhh ... Viiiiper!!), UNTIL (Yo Jo... damn ... Umm .. Yo UNTIL?), Demon (Brother Blood anyone?), and the Ultimate Brick (We can rebuild him ... make him stronger ...) :)

Still waiting for his Viper book ...

You said it. I'd like to see the Hero Universe take on the Justice Squadron (JSA? I hope) myself.

Well Digital Hero #13 and #14 so far have the write-ups for the silver age Sentinels (ugh! I cannot believe I had to write it like that! :) ) and they will carry through for the next few issues up to the write-ups for the current Sentinels. I will assume that write-ups for the Justice Squadron (which I also assume is more JLA/JSA-like) will follow soon after.

I agree though. I was the one calling for an "Allies" book nearly a year ago. I would love to see all the heroes under one book, or under their own group book (Sentinels: A History or Justice Squadron: Undivided).
