I've seen quite a few people on the Champions Online forums saying that as a result of this new development they're getting into, or back into, the Champs PnP game and buying the current books. I'm sure the DoJ crew has been watching this development with joy in their hearts and growing weight in their wallets.![]()

TeamHero has put a lot of hard work into the enterprise.
Here's hoping that they are, indeed, reaping some benefits.

We have definitely noticed increased website traffic and use of the Online Store. Hopefully these trends will continue, and even intensify.![]()

Good Luck, Steve. I hope this really works for you and the other DOJers.![]()

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
I was finally able to convince my husband to buy Hero Designer.
Now to convince him to make a few more Hero System purchases...![]()

I just bought the book myself. Which is horrible considering I don't actually know where folks play here in P-town. However, the game looks great and I"ve actually been meaning to buy it for years, just never did. (Man, I remember when I used to play Silver Age Sentinels and thought that was versatile.) You guys do a good job.
There's a local Con coming up for you just across the river in Vancouver, Washington. There will be some Hero players there... and some games that I and others will be running. (A group of us are coming down from Seattle.) And a local fellow named Michael Hopcroft will be running some things as well.
I'm sure there are local groups in Portland... and you might meet some players if you come to the Con:

And, you can always post in the Player Finder Thread.
And, you know, welcome to The Game!

. . . Huh. They were like that when we found them.

I spoke to a gentleman the other day (father of a girl scout in my troop) who said he played Champions when he was in high school, like so many others. But he stopped gaming because he "grew up", got a wife, children, a real job, then got into MMO with WoW. He said he hadn't heard anything about Champions for years, so figured they were out of business! :O
I had to set his straight and bring him up to date with Champions Online. He was going to go home and check out the websites![]()
How about that... evangelism can be a GOOD thing.
