Wooohoooo!
Pulp Hero, the Ultimate Speedster and GAC. Plus another Enemeis book and a revised rulebook. Coolness.
You know how you play with a cat by dangling a peice of sting within his grasp, and then pull it away as he grabs for it? If the string isn't exciting and tempting the cat won't grab. But if you pull away early too many times and deny him too often, the cat gives up in frustration. The skill is in finding the sweet spot between those extremes where its fun for you and the cat.
That's what a GM's job is.

Curse you and your Revised Core Book!!!!
I'll still buy one.
WW: "We have Einstein's Brain? I thought that was at Princeton Hospital?"
MM: "Transylvania 6-5000 Dubbie! Do you really think we'd leave that hanging around a bunch of Frat boys with Mono?"
WW: "So, whose brain does Princeton have?"
MM: "The only woman smart enough to kill Einstein"

Anthology info, puhleaze! Okay, so you mention one story. Where do the others come from? Are you taking submissions? (Not that I have one handy)

Teen Champions? Ultimate Mentalist? A magic items book? Wow!
What's with Hero 5th Revised, though? Is that like D&D 3.5? Guess I'll wait for the review, but as a low budget gamer I was hoping it'd be another fifteen years before a new edition came out...
Teen Champions is quite possible my Favourite Genre Ever.

As a semi-informed guess, I'd think that it's more like the 2nd and later printings of the WotC hardbacks, errata coupled with some of the FAQ material.Originally posted by Chuk

Doubt it'll be enough of an upgrade to qualify for a dreaded 5.25 tag.

You cruel bastiches, tantalizing me like this.
Looks like even more good stuff coming from "DOJ dba HERO Games"!
Personally, Im glad to see you are putting out a revised FRED (FRED Jr?). There's enough FAQ info alone to warrant it.
On a side note, I hope you guys have a big insurance policy on Steve -- if he gets run over by a car or something, a lot of HERO Gamers are going to be very put out

Dang it! If you're finally gonna do Pulp Hero, I really am going to have to get a second job.
Life is forcing me out of gaming, but I'm gonna go kicking and screaming!

Also known as "D&D 3.5 Andy Collins's house rules become law", "D&D 3.5, too many changes to be Revised, not quite enough to take Monte's name off it", and "D&D 3.5, no, we don't need a Changes Log, there aren't that many. Sucker."Originally posted by lemming

Looks like a bunch of really good stuff is coming out in 2005!
Pulp Hero: Huzzahhh!!!!!
Champions: The Animated Series: Love the name. It lets everyone know right off the bat exactly what the product is.
Everyman: I'll be curious to see how this stacks up against the classic Normals Unbound (one of the best HERO supplements ever). I expect it will do nicely.
Champions Worldwide: What's up with this? You decided to rename European Enemies II?
