Sailboat Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 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!

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Champions Complete will do what you want. The system is essentially the same with some small changes (meters instead of inches, no Comeliness, figured characteristics are no longer figured) and there are more options for building stuff, but it plays exactly the same Ninja-Bear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 The leap from 3rd edition to 6th will be a bit jarring. While the core mechanics are the same, a lot has changed since 3rd edition. IMO, a gentler transition would be to play 4e first and then, if you are still really into the game, try 6e. While 4e may not technically be "state of the art", I feel it is an easier rule set to digest and use than 6e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
