ioticus Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I was wondering why Hero Games chose to name the book "Dark Champions?" Afterall, the book isn't only about superheroic campaigns and doesn't focus on dark, gritty settings either. "Modern Hero" or "High Tech Hero" would have seemed more appropriate.

Wombat Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Why the name "Dark Champions?" This came up a lot while Steve was writing the book. I think the answer can be summed up best as - 'because that's what Steve wanted to call it' Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrandjean Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Why the name "Dark Champions?" It's a carryover from their previously published Dark Champions , an excellent genre/setting book focusing on street level heroes (The Punisher, Daredevil, Batman, etc...). Though it's no longer the primary focus of the book, if you want street level, you want this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDU Neil Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Why the name "Dark Champions?" Here ya go. The entire thread where this was discussed and debated before the book ever hit the shelves. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17561 I think Action Hero was the name most of us felt was appropriate.

Without having read the thread, did anyone ever suggest Anti-Hero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
