    Would you buy Champions Villains Volume 3 – Solo Villains?

    I thought I'd put this up as a poll to give an indication of the interest in a printed book version of Champions Villains Volume 3.
    Personally I just moved from option #2 to option #1 after thinking about it some.

    The poll seems a little incoherent. How about "I've bought CV 1 and 2 in print and PDF, and CV3 in PDF, and expect to buy the printed version of CV3 when it appears"?

    That's probably because the poster of the poll is a little incoherent, and because he doesn't know how edit poll options, but consider your suggestion to be better than what's listed.

    I bought all three CV books in PDF as soon as they were available, which has proven to be sufficient for my needs. I don't intend to buy any of the hard copies. Mind you, I'd definitely have wanted physical books if they contained all or mostly new material. However, since the great majority of the villains in the collection are 6E updates of 5E characters I already own, I can't justify the additional cost on my limited gaming budget.

    I voted Other. I don't care for the official Champions Universe and find the characters derivative and uninteresting. I prefer to make up my own universe in collaboration with my players.

    I didn't buy CV#1 because I prefer my own masterminds, but I did buy CV#2 and plan on buying CV#3 if it ever comes out.

    Re: Would you buy Champions Villains Volume 3 – Solo Villains?

    Other--After reflection, I realized that the last time that I participated in a Champions game (as either a player or GM) was about a decade and a half ago. I purchased all of the 5th edition stuff for Champions, and it's essentially gathering dust on my shelves.

    Now, that's not to say that I don't want to support Hero. I'm just limiting myself to the Heroic-level stuff that I might actually use.

    I'd welcome a Kickstarter for a hard copy version of this book, and would participate myself.

    I agree with many of the comments above. But I am not interested in PDFs myself. I exclusively prefer physical copies. I already own volume 1 (master villains). But I haven't yet purchased a hard copy of vol. 2 because of the ongoing delayed release of the physical copy of vol. 3. If vol. 3 were to become available in hard copy via some sort of Kickstarter program, not only would I buy that, but I'd also go ahead and buy vol. 2 as well.

    I'm not sure. I think I would. But I don't have the others either at this time. But when job comes I want to see if I can get them. For nostalgia if anything.

    OTOH many of those master villains have allies or minions written up -- supervillains and/or agents -- who might be interesting and useful to you, even if you don't want to use their masters.

    I prefer hard copy to PDFs for many reasons, and will buy the printed version if it comes out and will support a kickstarter if one occurs. I want it bad, and did buy the PDF, but still want the hardcopy.

    Other. Money's an issue for me. I'd like to buy it, but it's not a priority. Once I figure out how to pay for it* I'll get it.

    I already did in PDF, which is how I buy all of my books these days.
