    Umm, one book long, as we've been saying. I don't know how many times I need to repeat this- we couldn't afford to have Star miss Gencon, and we couldn't afford to do both big, expensive color books at once. So it's the next big color book we'll do. I don't have a date for you yet, but as soon as I do you'll all hear it. dw

    Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains

    I totally understand the desire to have Star Hero done for Gencon, no question, I guess it was the eight months or whatever prior to that that was muddying the waters lol. On the other hand, I'm sure I've missed status changes in the print backlog so apologies if this is just rubbing salt into an old wound! I do try and check Steve's Friday updates each week and always dip quickly into the store to see what's new in hardcopy but I don't always check the message boards the way I used to.

    Thanks for the update! Looking forward to it!

    Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains

    I'm looking forward to this volume. I have yet to purchase volumes 1 and 2 because in my campaign I prefer to use my own master villains and teams. Individual villains that are easily plugged into whatever else I am doing, though, are essential.

    I do plan on getting the other volumes, but they aren't my top priority yet since I am only just now starting to build up my 6th ed library. I have the Bestiary ordered and I'll be picking up the equipment guide after that.

    In light of the recent Kickstarter project for the Book of the Empress, will the Champions Villains vol. 3 get a similar Kickstarter project (please, please, please!).

    Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains

    I'd like to get Champions Villains Vol. 3 printed as well! Have a special bundle for backers where they will get all 3 CV volumes (books and PDFs) at a certain backer level.

    I was poking around in the store today and discovered that along with the pdf (which everyone knows about) there's also an HD Character pack for this title... and a bundle that wraps up all three titles from the 6E Villains Series into on bundle for $39.99.

    Just something to consider while awaiting the fate of the printed version...

    Today's news reveal that right after Mythic Hero a kickstarter will be set up for CV3. I'm willing to give money for a full color hardcover!

    I will settle for black and white just to get the book. The book is probably already laid out for one or the other but I will buy it either way. I think color books raises cost too much.

    I's strongly prefer that it be published in the same format as the first two volumes.

    Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains

    I wonder if it makes sense to do a Kickstarter with two tiers. As in if they get $X they publish in black and white and if they get $X+Y they publish in color. That would allow us as fans to see what the cost differential is between color and b&w.

    I guess one issue with that is if there are people who would pledge for color, but don't want the book at all if its only going to be b&w...

    For this type of book I'm satisfied with my PDF, but I'll pledge something anyway to support Hero Games. (Amount still to be decided.)

    There's no provision for such a setup in Kickstarter.

    Not directly, but you could set the goal for the B&W version and give a bonus (i.e., color) if you reach an extended pledge level.

    I'm afraid that I would be one such person. I wouldn't be interested if the book were to be printed in B&W, or soft cover.
