Basically, "The Asian Bestiary" applied to supernatural creatures the world over.[/quote'] I'd love to see that, especially if you covered the rarer creatures.

CorPse Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books Although not books' date=' my dream project would be for the production of Hero based mini's - not so much the heroes themselves but such things as VIPER or DEMON agents as well as some of the more infamous villians. Yeah, I can tailor figs already out there, but still it would be fun.[/quote'] That would be pretty cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrisUlf Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books I'd love to write it. OT but -- how would you handle the Romanian Varcolac? I've read it as an uber-vampire, a giant (were)wolf who can devour the sun and moon with its multiple sets of jaws, and as something draconic. Myself, I'd prefer to stick with something werewolf-related, simply because there are already enough supervamps out there. Give the poor werewolves a bone.

Peregrine Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books Ahem. I really cannot believe that we never see a 5th Edition PRIMUS Sourebook. 5th edition? Not gonna happen, unless the author currently chosen to write it declines and someone else picks it up in time to be completed and published before 6e comes out. Now, a PRIMUS Sourcebook for 6e... that, I hope for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arac-4105 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books I know I'm gonna get slapped for this, but I'd honestly want to write a Furry Hero meta-genre book. There's a lot of good, non-sleazy furry work out there. Erma Felna EDF, Zaibatsu Tears, the Redwall books, and classics like Watership Down.

Most of the furry cons average about one fifth to one tenth the size of most anime cons, and we can't get Steve Long excited about doing an anime-themed product, so what are the odds you'll ever see a furry-themed product?

Lord Mhoram Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books Mike, I'm with you on a Tarot group. I had a team just "TAROT" in my last Champs game - a super for each major trump, and each suit was one division of agents, with the Kings and Queens being on par with low powered supers (about on par/ slightly tougher than a Silver Avenger). I would love to publish my FH campaign setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books Ahhh... but the intent was for books you would write! Oh, in that case... I'd love to write The Book Of The Undying King, giving Takofanes the same treatment that Dr. Destroyer and Mechanon will be getting in their sourcebooks. I have a bunch of ideas for his followers, bases, and plans. And this would let me update my remake of Profesor Muerte for Sixth Edition and make him official.

I'd probably buy it just for the potential of expanding the character possibilities in my games.

Sure, but they all pretty much fall into the same category: books that would require so much effort and time to write that they're not worth the effort in terms of the return they'd bring: Victorian Hero Western Hero Danger International The Ultimate Weapon The Gamer's Guide to Nazi Germany The Pulp Resource Guide Dark Champions Battlegrounds ...and on and on. I always have lots of ideas for books I want to write. The problem is finding the time to write 'em, and making 'em profitable once written.

BNakagawa Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Your Dream Projects For Hero Books I can't see how Danger International ends up on a list of projects not likely to be worth the time to produce. With the amount of tension and instability all over the world, I'm surprised this isn't a higher priority. Granted, the fluid nature of international espionage and the politics that motivate them makes for a challenging topic, but a good sourcebook on the universal elements of spycraft would be a welcome addition to my gaming library. I'm sure there are others who think similarly on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
