I was digging through some stuff this morning and came across my copy of my all-time favorite Champions supplement: Aaron Allston's Strike Force.
That got me wondering. What Champs book is the best, or at least the favorite, of all time for the rest of you?
Feel free to divide it up by edition if you wish.

Re: What's your favorite Champions supplement?
Strike Force for me as well.....the first thing that really showed how to do it "right" (by my opinion anyway...)

I really enjoyed Strike Force, but my favorite is probably Champions 3D. I love the alternate dimension convention. I also loved Neutral Ground, but I think I'm the only one that did
Mrs. White: I, too, am being blackmailed for something I didn't do.
Mr. Green: Me too.
Colonel Mustard: And me.
Miss Scarlet: Not me.
Wadsworth: You're not being blackmailed?
Miss Scarlet: Oh, I'm being blackmailed all right, but I did what I'm being blackmailed for.

Hmmm... Probably Champions 3-d as well follwed by Hidden Lands. Plot threads galore.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson
If you can laugh at yourself, you will never cease to be amused.

What my favorite is varies over the course of time. I'll limit this to adventure/sourcebooks. Currently my list (in no particular order) would include:
Shades of Black by Allen Thomas
Watchers of the Dragon by Steven S. Long
Hudson City Blues by Edward J. Carmien (technically this is Dark Champions)
Still playing/running 5ER in Oklahoma City.

Original Viper handbook.
How to build a villain organization and how not to build one all in one neat package. The good points were great, the bad points were "duuuh's" but made me really think about organizations and the bottom of the personnel pyramid.
Things to remember... How many toilets are required for 'X' agents? Ditto canteen facilities and janitorial cupboards. Where does the food come from, who cooks it, who does janitorial, who collects the trash & waste and where is it disposed of? Do any of these people come out of your agent allotment?
It's a keeper.

It's not easy to pick is it?
Over the years Hero has come up with some really great books.
But I stand by my initial choice. I learned more about gamemastering from AA's SF than from any other book I've ever read. And even today, two months shy of 20 years later, those lessons are still relevant. And it's still a joy to read, something I can't say about some of the newer material.

No love for Autoduel Champions?
It's hard to pick one, so my top three would be that, Strike Force, and The Blood and Dr. McQuark.

Y'know, I bought the durn book, and I've yet to crack it open.
I just don't generally need that level of detail in my games...
