    This looks legit site and as always FGU stuff is great for source material.
    This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
    Define "interesting".

    Re: Western Hero Resources

    They do have some cool previews on the website. I Liked "Firearms, Flaws and More" very much. I wasn't sure I would burn the coin to buy the tome, but that item has almost convinced me.

    Got the book & absolutely love it Crazy, that I'm getting so much out of a 16yr old HERO resource!

    I didn't get into HERO until 2003, so now I'm totally interested in what other gems might be out there from decades past.

    Thanks Again for the link. I would've bought Western Hero on day one if it'd been at my local gaming store.
    Not only did your link gift me w/ the Western Hero hookup but it also introduced me to the wonder that is Noble Knight Games

    Re: Western Hero Resources

    Snagged a used copy of Western Hero from my FLGS for $3.

    Sweet... maybe I should flip it on eBay, 'cause I already have one. But I figured we might never see a 5th Ed version, so I should at least stick it in the collection.

    I don't know what your tastes are, but there are a couple of 1st edition adventures you can still find floating around called Deathstroke and the Great Supervillain Contest that I think are very cool.

    Also, there's a nifty 4th Edition Horror Hero book that you don't see around too often, but might be worth having based on your taste.

    Not an RPG supplement, but I stumbled upon this collection of of Western stuff through Amazon Dry Goods (whilst looking for costume patterns). I've only perused the Cariboo journal online stuff (great stuff there), but peeking around it seems that it's covers a pretty broad selection of stuff.

    Thanks a lot for making me feel old, I remember making a wild drive to buy Western Hero when it first came out during my lunch break from work. It was usually a 40 minute drive to my FLGS but I made the round trip and purchase under an hour. Looking back that drive could have left a nasty mark on my driving record (not only broke a few traffic laws, I think I might have broken a few laws of physics )

    There were frogs there all right, thousands of them. Their voices beat the night, they boomed and barked and croaked and rattled. They sang to the stars, to the waning moon, to the waving grasses. They bellowed love songs and challenges.
