Well, Jason assured everyone that Steve would still be answering rules questions--which pretty much requires that there be a forum. I wouldn't assume that means the forums will be around forever, but it's reasonable to assume there won't be any sudden surprise shutdowns without plenty of advance notice.Originally Posted by GoldenAge
It is unclear why the bear, which was wearing ice skates at the time, attacked Mr Potapov. The bear was later shot by police. Deadly attacks are rare in the country's circuses, which often train bears to wear skates and play ice hockey.

Well, weathered every Champions/Hero speed-bump since I got my hands on 1st Ed way, way back in the day. Sorry to hear about the Darren and Steve moving on to other things, but I'm still all HERO all the time as well. Here's to wishing *raises the Makers Mark neat* Darren and Steve the best, and of course, HERO and Jason will still have our support as well.
Now to find more copies of the Core books......

There is no doubt that the news is sad, but the HERO System has survived not only Fuzion but Cybergames. I'm reasonably convinced that if it could come back from that then it can probably survive something like an asteroid strike. The cockroaches will one day be playing HERO System...

Well, I can't speak for the company anymore, but I don't see it as a "for the time being" thing. I think the website, and the awesome fan community it supports, are "OK," period. Among other things, the site provides Hero with its Online Store, after all.so the website is ok for the time being ?

Many, many more, beginning in let's say 2005.So...like how many books do we need to buy to fix this financial issue?
But in the meantime, I think that stocking up on any existing products you don't have, and picking up new books like BotE when they're released (or supporting them via Kickstarter, which is essentially the same thing), will go a long way toward helping Jason and keeping things going.
And of course when Darren and I each get around to doing licensed supplements and suchlike, we'd appreciate your support as well.

It's amazing how tempered this community's reaction to the news has been. Other places there would have been screaming and cries of the sky falling. But not here, just appreciation for jobs well done.
HERO fans are a hardy lot.

I think it is just experience - we lived through Fuzion and Cybergames. This ain't nothing compared to that.It's amazing how tempered this community's reaction to the news has been.

You know how you play with a cat by dangling a peice of sting within his grasp, and then pull it away as he grabs for it? If the string isn't exciting and tempting the cat won't grab. But if you pull away early too many times and deny him too often, the cat gives up in frustration. The skill is in finding the sweet spot between those extremes where its fun for you and the cat.
That's what a GM's job is.

Hard to buy books when you can't find anybody in Milwaukee selling them. And, as you know, old Mill town is not in any ways a small town. (Well, it is also not Chicago eather, but that's another story.) I'm worried. I despertly want to pick up the Basic Charater Book, and the Hero System Martial Arts book, at least. And I want to write for the company (using the libary computer and a word prossing program). If there is no company, how can I write for the company? You don't have to pay me (just give me one copy of the finished book).Buy some books you don't already have!(Heck, buy some you do have -- I'm sure everyone's aware of my longstanding theory that you should buy two or three copies of all Hero books as a hedge against fire and flood damage.

Surprised to hear this but I probably shouldn't have been. Here's hoping the changeover is successful and so are all the people who have brought us so much good gaming (started in '82 myself, I think with Champions II...)
