For what it's worth, I found an app that works well for me for using my Hero book pdfs on my Android: 'Repligo'...$3.99 in the marketplace. It has a full-page mode and a more readable mode that nicely streamlines the text into one column at a readable size wit images and tables intact. You can also access the bookmarks from any page, and they're organized well. Recommended.

I only come to the forums occasionally so if I missed a review or discussion of the various Champions Villains books, please forgive me. None of my searches are finding anything relevant. My wife asked if there were any books that I wanted for x-mas and I'm not sure if I want to ask for these... Should I? I run a Teen Champions campaign on a fairly regular basis with plans on a possible second, more "Champions Normal", campaign in the future. I have almost all of the 5th Edition books and have just been, painfully, converting published villains over to 6th Ed. when necessary (mostly just creating from scratch) My biggest fear is that the 6th Ed. Villains books w…

Are the pdfs for updated books no longer for sale? I see, e.g., that the Dark Champions pdf is still available, but the 5e Fantasy Hero pdf is "out of stock." For the moment, I'm just trying to get Fantasy Hero 5e. Thanks.

Hero is on its 6th edition. Could you please divide all the source material by edition? It is highly difficult to determine what belongs with what and what is old and what is new and what is upcoming listed by genre. Is there a separate place on the website doing this already that I am missing? Alphabetical order is great but please separate it further so those who are not as familiar with all these products need to sift and guess. For example: Core rule books and rule supplements should be together by edition. All Fantasy Hero latest edition sourcebooks should be lumped together alphabetically. This way I see at a glance what is available for that par…

Or at least I think it was. I've been going over a lot of my older stuff (I have Enemies II and III but not I !!) and I have a vauge memory of an revamping of Deathstroke. Deathsinger was renamed Requiem and a female member was added to the team, but that is all that I recall. Any idea of the supplement and where it might leagally picked up?

Struck by the Superhero RPG bug I started rummaging through my old books. I still have Champions I - III, Star Hero, Stronghold, Fantasy Hero, Adventurer's Club 1-20 ish, Mind Games, Mystic Masters, Neutral Ground, etc...and somehow Foxbat snuck in and made off with my BBB. I mean I easily found FRED but the BBB...nowhere to be found. While I'm desperately turning my house upside down looking I am beginning to think I may have to buy it again. Is there any chance it will ever be reprinted or it is available in PDF? Tanks in advance!

In a separate thread I went into how Foxbat made off with my BBB. So if all else fails I could take a stab at 6th edition. I took a quick look and was floored...there are now so many books! Could anyone advise a short list (given my limited budget) of what I need to run a classic champions campaign? The usual villains (think old Enemies), UNTIL, VIPER, PSI, Genocide and Doctor Destroyer? I mean in the old days I went with the Champions box set, Enemies 1-2, and the Island of Dr. Destroyer. So that's a bunch of villains, UNTIL, PSI, VIPER, and Genocide. Eventually I went and bought a ton of the other books...but found I didn't really use them (other …

The description for the Masterminds and Giant Monsters Bundle lists the following books: Book of the Destroyer, Book of the Machine, and Millennium City. Is that last one supposed to be Monster Island? Or is it really Millennium City, and I just missed in that book where the giant monsters come in?

I have read through the submission guidelines and am eager to contribute, once I have a frim grasp of the rules. Since the submission guidelines are dated from 2003, I was wondering if there were updates to this information? Are they good to go, as is? Or is it possible that unsolicited submissions are not looked at anymore? Thanks all for any information you can provide. Game On!

edit: I think I should have posted this here. Back in the day... the 4th Edition IIRC, I bought a GM Screen that had a booklet of photocopyable templates of character sheets and, most importantly, the Combat Record Sheet. I used that thing all through the remainder of the 4th ed and even into 5th ed. Then, I had a kid, did some other stuff and... hey, look, someone's running 6th ed. Guess what? I have NO IDEA where my trusty old insert book went to. And no, I'm not terribly excited about trolling eBay. My GM sucks at organization and can't keep the phases straight, and I thought the Combat Record Sheet was exactly what we need. Didn't see one in t…

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Fantasy Hero 6th:-) I know that it will be a full colored hardcover, and I wanted to know if the book is going to be as high quality as the core books. Those core books are seriously awesome quality.

Hi! Can I find a map of the city in a 6th edition book, or do I have to buy the 5th edition "Millennium City" book ? (or maybe such a map is available for free, but I haven't found it in the "free stuff" section in the store...)
