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…

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?

I've seen the 'Universe Bundles' being sold in the site store for about $10, with for instance the Universe History Bundle containing Champions Universe, Champions Universe: News of the World, and Champions Worldwide. Just so I'm clear, does this mean the actual game stats/PDF of the original 5th Ed books are included, or is it something more basic? To be extra sure: I'm referring to the sets like this: Thanks for any help.

I've decided to jump into the deep end of the Hero System and bought both the Hero System and Champions bundles of holding. As I start reading, I'm looking at HERO Designer. Does it work with Champions and Champions Now? Does it include all the sourcebooks for Hero and Champions?

Used to play and run Champions (ran a 3rd Edition campaign for ten years!) I would like to get back into Hero System / Champions or at least see what the state of the art currently is. Is 6th Edition the current state of the art? What books/publications would I need to understand the system as I ponder getting involved again? Just Hero System 6E and Champions? Could it be that simple? I looked at the offerings in the store and was bewildered by the array of options -- how do I get (re) started? Thanks for your time!

This is more directed to @Jason S.Walters more than anyone. Is there a chance we might see the 6th ed POD books available in Hardcover?

Hello, I have Champions Powers and Martial Arts 6th Ed. Is there any reason to get Ultimate Brick, Mentalist, Mystic, Ninja, Energy Projector, Speedster, Metamorph or any others I might have missed or does Champions Powers and Martial Arts combine all these under two hoods? I know the Ultimate series is 5th Ed but I also know conversion is relatively easy. I am a bit of a collector and have 4th,5th, and 6th edition stuff but....sometimes I look for justification to spend the $ and find room on the shelves. Thanks, Mike

Wow GRAMMER BAD Rewritten for clarity I recently had reason to look at my 6th edition character pack from 2010. I am noticing that a few files seem to be missing and wondering if this is a universal issue or something that has happened over time. I did go back to the original zip file I had and they are missing from that as well. I do realize that there has been a software update on the website that has erased any order from this far back. In truth I cannot remember if I bought it or was given a copy for doing data entry on it. My main curiosity here is if this was a universal issue, or something that haas happened to my files. …

Does anyone know if there is book, article, etc. for 6th Edition (or that I could adapt) that covers advanced hacking/programming such as for a Cyberpunk, Modern, or Near Future setting? If not, any suggestions on how to develop a system that would represent cyber 'Combat'? I'm thinking both Cryptography and Analyze: Network Security as complementary skills, but I am also thinking of perhaps a sort of mini-game element that might add to scenarios where the hacker is running in real time parallel to the 'action heroes' like in the movies. I am not opposed to adapting from another system to Hero if required. Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
