So the description is a bit sparse for Heroes in a Hurry, and I'm wondering a few things... Is it basically templates for powers, skills, etc.? Is there anything there for the veteran player? What types of heroes can be made using it? Are there specific power types?

Playing catch up on getting all my 5th edition and 6th edition books. I have been able to get most things without a problem, but I haven't been able to find the Hero System 6th Edition Volume 1: Character Creation Hardcover edition. Does anyone know where one might find a copy. I have scoured quite a few online resources and while a few places said that they had the hardcover, I was disappointed to find that they were lying and only had the softcover (which I already own). Figured I would post here and see if anyone knew a store where I could order from or if someone was willing to sell one. I am looking for one that is from a smoke free home, in very good condition …

I have Star Hero 6th Edition, and when I looked up rules for Ship combat, on SH6E 27 it references "See HERO System Vehicles" for Ship combat. Which sourcebook has this? I see a PDF for "HERO System Vehicle Sourcebook PDF", but the description only appears to explain designs, unless I am missing it. If not this sourcebook, which one would I use for Starship combat rules?

For my own use, I'm compiling a meta-Object Table that will compile the PD, ED, and BODY of various objects (and in this case, where it came from), using the information from the Breaking Things section of 6e2, the Common Martial Arts Scenery table from HSMA, the Fantasy Objects and Door Table from FH, and so on. I'm not planning to drop everything from the Equipment Guide (though I might have "Generic Pistol", Generic Rifle", etc.), and Champions doesn't seem to have one. Does anyone know where else I can find such information?

"HERO System Resource Kit (Book+PDF)" I see this for sale in the store. I am wondering if it actually comes with a GM screen or is it just a quick start rule booklet and some PDF's. Does anyone know?

I was wondering if there was any timeline for the remaining 5th edition things to get updates to 6th edition. For example, I am interested in the Vehicle Sourcebook and The Ultimate Mentalist, but I do not want to pay for 5th edition if the 6th are in the works. Last time I played was Champions in the mid 80s. Like 2nd ed., I think. Now, I am looking at using it for updating Space Opera (Fantasy Games Unlimited) to remove the exceptionally math heavy nature of that game. Also, the fact there is a Roll20 engine for HG is a nice bonus since my old gaming group now lives in four different states. Getting the new version, I went for 6th ed, but am now …

Can anyone let me know what the differences between each product is? is the text rewritten for the 6th edition version extensively or is it more a cut and paste with just edition specifics updated?

I was thinking of picking up the Traveller Hero PDFs from the online store, but I’m confused. What is included in the Traveller Hero Sourcebook? In other words is it separate content from Vol 1 and Vol 2 or is it a collected volume? If so are any of the other volumes included? I want to get all the books but I don’t want to buy redundant material.

Has anyone bought any of these? There’s not much information in the descriptions. If you bought them, what do you think of them?

I just want to say, it's so great to see new products coming out regularly again, thanks in large part to HERO Games' decision to start the Hall of Champions program and HEROphiles' willingness to step up to the challenge of becoming Champions.

Simple question, as we are all forced online will I be able to share a PDF with my players? I love the game but have had issues finding players because not everyone can afford to buy all of the wonderful books.

I'm wondering if I'm just becoming a cheapskate in my old age, but the pricing of the latest Champions International supplements seems a bit high to me. Champions International: Costa Azul is 45 pages for $15 or about $0.33/page. Champions International: Taqiristan is 16 pages for $7.50 or about $0.47/page. Champions International: Lugendu is 16 pages for $7.50 or about $0.47/page. Champions International: Transnistria is 23 pages for $7.50 or about $0.33/page. Compared to that, the new Western Hero adventure (The Taming of Tascora) is $4.99 for 49 pages or about $0.10/page and Western Hero goes for $15 for 276 pages or about $0.05/p…

Hello, I bought the Ground Vehicles and the Air Vehicles Character Packs (thinking they would be PDFs) and I downloaded the files fine (I think?) They appear ot be .HDC files for the most part. I cannot open the files. Googling the files it says I need to download something called HD Tach which is evidently a hard drive management reporting software?!? Anyways it says you need this program to open the files but every site that will let you download it appears to be either unsecure or weird looking. I tried going directly to the developer Simpli Software Inc. but their website appears defunct. How do you expect people that buy this p…

As weird as it sounds, I'd ike to trade someone a 6e Vol1 character book in hardback for one in softback. I'll pay postage for both. I'll post pics of mine later today/tomorrow.

Did the BoT I ever have an HD pack option? I looked in the store but I only see it as pdf or print, while number 2 does have the HD pack. Also, my HD is back from 2017 I think, I assume that the templates will still work with that version?

I am using the powers book for 6E to create a list of powers that you can get potentially with a very dangerous serum. Powers are NOT guaranteed, you can have no powers, powers, or even potentially death based upon shock/body damage if by chance the serum is incompatible with the characters/NPC's body - by of course rolls. I have already created a roll list for which category of powers one can get if they do roll positive, and which sub-categories based on it. One thing one of my Hero Mates mentioned to me was to potentially add Complications and/or Power Side Effects to put a balance on things. As indicted, we have a Powers bo…

In the PDF I bought for Hero System Bestiary v6, on page 64 it lists the Centaur's "Total Cost: 1336175" I am guessing this is incorrect?
