MitchellS Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule I certainly hope you're wrong about The Ultimate Mentalist and Villains, Vandals, & Vermin, as both of those books are on the 2005 schedule. The Underworld Sourcebook and Nobles, Knights, & Necromancers are also on the 2005 schedule. I would really hate to see VVV get pushed back to 2006 as villains are lacking in the Champions Universe, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also rather see an update of Champions in 3D rather than an updated Stronghold. Rob I can see the logic in spreading out the Hero universe a little bit to cover genres other than superhero. Currently, there are... 18 Champions Titles (19 including Dark Champions: TAS) 4 Star Hero Titles 7 Fantasy Hero Titles 3 Dark Champions (2 not including Dark Champions: TAS) Further, 2005 adds Teen Champions, Until Superpowers Database II, Champions Worldwide, and Everyman. I'd like to see some other stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see some other stuff... Just so we get all the numbers correct... there have been 6 Hero System products [H5E, H5Er, Sidekick, Beastiary, Resource Kit, and Vehicle], 4 Star Hero [star Hero, Terran Empire, Spacer's Toolkit, and Alien Wars], 2 Dark Champions [Dark Champions and Hudson City], 4 Ultimate Series [brick, Martial Artist, Mystic, and Vehicle], 7 Fantasy Hero [FH, FHG, FHG2, MMM, TTA, FHB, and TVA], and 16 Champions products [Champinos, CU, CKC, MC, USPD, CB, SoB pdf, Viper, STAST, UNTIL, GC, GG, TMW, AA, Demon, and VB] published so far. 2005 will have 18 new products, only 6 of which are Champions books. Two-thirds of the books published in 2005 and 2006 will not be for Champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-thirds of the books published in 2005 and 2006 will not be for Champions.[/quote']Ok, fair enough. I included Hidden Lands and Villany Amok in my count of Champions stuff, which I see is technically inaccurate. I thought they were going to be out by DunDraCon. I like to play heroic level games and as a result have limited utility for the Champions books. I'm happy to see more FH, DC, SH, and Pulp Hero stuff.

mattingly Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule Man, that was freaky. With the font chosen for this site, Tuala Morn looked a whole lot like TUALA MOM instead of TUALA MORN! Anyway, I jumped into the thread, eager to find out whether Ultimate Skill or Horror HERO would be the big release, and they're both there! Woohoo!

Anything published which doesn't add to a superhero game is probably a pass for me; but now due to DoJ's plea to buy more books or they will go out of business I'm persuaded to buy things I really don't want.

MitchellS Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule My tentative guess is that Psychic Wars, Thrilling Places, and Danger Zones are also Champions' products, though Thrilling Places could be a Pulp Hero product and Danger Zones could be for Dark Champions. That would bring the guessing Champions products to: Stronghold Golden Age Champion Psychic Wars Trilling Places Villains, Vandals, and Vermin Champions Universe Update Danger Zones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Keen Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule May I ask... What is Stronghold? Do we know, or would it be purely conjecture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadmaster Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule I'm sorry that this is going to be negative but I am really sick of the whinning about not enough Champions stuff, it happens every year and it really turns me off of HERO everytime. Champions gets the largest share by far everytime while many other genres are not even represented. I had to wait two freaking years for Dark Champs just to find out that the emphasis was on Champs and why on earth would somebody not count DC supplements like The Animated Series as a Champions product? Anyway rant out of the way, I'm happy to see Pulp will be getting support and Horror is on the list. Nice to see some other stuff like the Celtic beastiary and Ultimate skill too.

megaplayboy Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule Was kinda hoping to see the Galactic Federation sourcebook...I know they said the Star hero sales were lower than for other products, but I thought that was supposed to be a major sourcebook for SH.

MitchellS Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: Tentative 2006 Schedule and why on earth would somebody not count DC supplements like The Animated Series as a Champions product? Probably because of the fact that they can't be used in a standard Champions game without total character sheet rewrites. Most people don't play in 3-4 speed Champions games, for example. TAS is what the 4E version of Dark Champions was, and it wasn't Champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
