Next Book?

Greetings Herophiles!

I need your help deiciding something; which book should I get next? Now, I have a bit of the 4th ed stuff (BBB, Viper, DC, CU, Classic Org, and Shadows of the City). And I have some of the 5th stuff (FREd, Resource Kit, SH, and UMA). I often hear (and have given) the advice that it all depends on what you plan on doing game-wise should determine what you get next. I'm currently designing a SH setting, and running a Dark Champs campaign for my wife. I really wanna get TE, but I need to get caught up on the other books as well. I want to focus more on the genre books than anything, but..... oh well.

 

I also want to make sure that I have the books before they reach the end of their print run. Furthermore I also need to buy the book for my favorite genre (SH) in order to support the line and increase the demand for the books so that they'll publish more material for that line.

 

Whatdya think I should do?

The HERO Bestiary has plenty of stuff that you can use for a Star HERO campaign, including classic sci-fi monsters and aliens, robots, and templates with which to build your own creatures. Just the thing to populate your alien worlds with inimical lifeforms. ;) The book is highly useful for any other genre you care to run. (Want your Dark Champions heroes to have to deal with guard dogs, or poisonous snakes? How about a deathtrap full of hungry army ants - can't kill a swarm with an Uzi!)

 

Steve Long also mentioned a little while ago that the stock of the Bestiary was getting low, and recommended buying it while it was still available. So, based on your stated criteria, I'd recommend getting this book next.

It seems the work just gets better and better with each new release.

 

I agree, it does seem to get better with each new release. In fact today was a wonderful, wonderful day for me. I finally found a game store within driving distance of my home. They had all of the books that I'm looking for.

However...

I finally got my copy of UMA form FRP Games.com.

I love that website!!! I can get my books at a great price and.....

but I digress...

 

The point is that I now have the book I've been waiting on for over 3 months. The question now is; what do i get now? Champions or TUV?

Preach it, Brother!

I too fould like to support my F#@$!#& Local Game Store, but the only 'local guys within driving distance (the ones noted in my earlier post) are almost an hour away. On a Sunday. In mild traffic...:rolleyes:

 

Oh, I'll still buy from them. But only if I have the time (and money) to drive there and back.
