Scourges Of The Galaxy

Um, no offense, but have you actually read the DEMON sourcebook?

I'd say they were plenty scary by themselves.

Of course I've read it. Even the Index.

DEMON is scary. DEMON is evil.

Take that scary evil and multiply it by a factor of 10 or so. Now you're in Void Messiah territory evil. DEMON summons an evil entity, brings through some mayhem, causes damage. Void Messiahs subsume solar systems - whole.

Okay, I'm sold.

(Although I'm still drawing from a Hero online store credit, so this won't make the company any money.)

I've finally gotten around to reading Scourges Of The Galaxy, and agree with all the positive comments made above; but I have to add that the histories, personalities, and motivations of all these characters are rich, vivid, original, and a lot of fun to read as well as play in a game. I have no trouble understanding where they're coming from or how I as a GM could use them to enliven a campaign... but even if I did, the plot seeds provided for every character would make it a snap.

Congratulations to Jason Walters for creating an engaging and useful rogue's gallery for sci-fi adventures.

I'll second that. It was so cool seeing Hero's take on "The Black Hole." That was a favorite of mine as a kid and I have statted the robot "Maximillian" in every sci-fi rpg from GDW Traveller to SW Saga. Not one time has it ever occurred to me to write up his background as being a mining droid, thus explaining his spinning claws. Brilliant.
