Digital Age HERO, sourcebook for where we CURRENTLY are :D

 

Rerelease of the HERO 100th Anniversary Special Edition because some extras were found in a box somewhere when they finally got around to cleaning out that warehosue they don't use anymore (silly everything digital :sneaky:).

 

Ultimate Planet, book about making new Planets and Cultures.

Well, yeah, Digital Age HERO, for one. With its own separate vehicles sourcebook for things like the Prius, the Skycar, and so forth.

 

The Characteristics Handbook, including over a century of expansions on not just the 14 standard Characteristics, but on every optional Characteristic ever published (Mental Defense, Mana, Mana Recovery, Sanity, Sanity Recovery...).

 

The Alien Bestiary, featuring animals actually found Out There. (And, realistically, I give about a 50% chance that we actually will have found some by then.)

 

The Ultimate Cyborg, including various bits of cyber and biotech available at that time.

 

And at least one setting sourcebook featuring the work of a currently popular author whose material would have just turned over to Public Domain.

Announcement in 2099: The temporary retirement of Steve "Lazarus" Long, no longer able to keep up his demanding schedule even with the best of modern gerontological treatment. And the promise that after his personality upload into a custom built AI unit and a well-earned year's vacation, he will return to work as "Steve Very Long Indeed" no longer bound by physical limitations and expecting to produce the equivalent of one "Ultimate" book every week in 2100....

Still no Palindromedary Hero, Palindromedary Enterprises refuses to release the license....

Umm...sorry to break the bad news to you guys, but the human race wont be around that long. Seriously. Maybe they'll be small enclaves of us still out there, but we wont be a thriving civilization.

 

The latest Scientist to testify before congress has stated that there is NO WAY to reverse the climate change because we've gone to far. Even if we stop burning fossil fuels completly....IF EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET STOPS USING PLASTICS AND GASOLINE AND NATURAL GAS IT WOULD STILL BE TOO LATE!

 

Read Crossing the Rubicon by Michael Rupert. No joke.

 

Yep, this is why I play Heroes....cause a fantasy world is much more preferable to the dung heap we live in.

 

The Industrial Revolution lead to the destructin of our race. Pitty we didnt catch on earlier.

And I thought I was being less than up beat. ;)

 

Climate change is a slow process, even assuming it's a real, human-caused process. Even if it were going to turn the Earth into another Venus, it'd take a reaallly long time.

 

I think bits like this come more from a natural apocalyptic obssession than from any real evidence they're likely. Every generation has heard predictions that they'd be the last. Judgement day for the christians, for instance, is always just about at hand according to some corner preacher or other. Every religion has an 'end of times' legend. It's just a way we humans deal with our mortality - by fantasizing that even though we're definitely going to die, the rest of the world might not be any better off.
