I figured that I'd at least find a writeup on it here, even the news has it in different coloring, but no linkable stuff. Is this the cyberpunk book we've been looking for for 5th? So I'm just wondering. Thanks.

I was looking over the online store for books I don't own and noticed there are two versions of Dark Champions: The Animated Series. Both have the same description but one is $26.99 and the other is $20.99. I assume the more expensive one is an upgraded version of the cheaper one. Is this correct? If not what is the difference?

Hey folks. Am I going crazy? I thought I saw Cyber HERO advertised somewhere, but I cannot find the information anywhere on the internet or in my local area. I am assuming that it is not out because of this, but for some reason I still feel like I've seen a teaser or an advertisement for it somewhere. Anyone have any information on it?

Sorry Steve. During my recent move, I have somehow managed to lose my copy of FRED. Since I can't find an outlet with Hero System stuff to preview it, can anyone tell me, in general terms so as not to offend Steve, the kinds of things I'd be missing if I replaced it with Sidekick instead of FRED? Thanks

Here’s our back-cover text describing TM: A LAND OF CELTIC WONDER A land of wondrous adventure amid green hills and dark forests awaits you: Tuala Morn. It’s a place of subtle Celtic magic and bold Celtic warriors, of capricious faerie-folk and wicked trolls, of clan-feuds and cattle-raids, of forest-gods and river-spirits. Ten years have passed since the death of High King Davaine left the realm leaderless, and land and people suffer for it — king fights with king for supremacy, the druidic faith of the Hundred Children vies with the priests of the Golden Temple for worshippers, and Vulkring raiders harry the coasts.
