Posted March 3, 20232 yr comment_2909535 Since DC Comics reprinted both dc heroes 1st edition rpg watchmen adventure modules,and the dc heroes 2nd edition wacthmen sourcebook in the watchmen compainion collected edition, Will dc comics ever do a fourth edition of the DC Heroes role-playing game?
March 3, 20232 yr comment_2909614 After losing the IP License there was Blood of Heroes from Pulsar games. This was an update to the rules with Blood of Heroes: Special Edition in 2000. However, I think Pulsar is effectively dead, so I'm not sure you're going to see an update to the ruleset. This may also be how DC was able to do the reprint.

In many ways, DC Adventures, which uses Mutants & Masterminds 3e, is kind of a successor to DC Heroes. The jump to 3e brought familiar terms that DCH fans would recognize, as well as bringing in Ray Winninger, who was a co-designer for DCH. Personally, I think this is the closest we'll get for now unless the Marvel 616 game explodes on the scene.

You make a good point.I hope dc comics pairs with a small game publisher and does a deluxe hard cover anniversary edition updating the characters and such.

At this point, it'd be a smarter move for them to update and release such an item themselves. They've already reproduced the two Watchmen books as you mentioned, plus some info from the Doom Patrol Moonshot module in one of the Doom Patrol omnis. I could only imagine that they own enough of the rights to either reprint, or create a new edition in-house. Honestly, my personal wishlist has some licensed superhero games released powered by the Hero System. I know it's unlikely to happen, but I'd still like to see it.

Yeah,I Agree With You 100%!,DC Comics Should Update And Release the DC Heroes Role-Playing Game.DC Comics Should Also Create A New Edition In-House.Who Should I Write To At DC Comics To Tell Them I Want To See That Happen?
