At the moment, there isn't. There was a 3rd Edition Golden Age book from Firebird Press, and a 4th Edition from Hero Games. There will be a 5th/6th Edition book, written by Darren Watts (IIRC), but I'm not 100% as to when that is due out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren wants to make sure he does it right. He's discussed it on chat a couple of times. He's got a playtest game going at the moment, apparently.

Lord Liaden Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Re: golden age champions Let me just add that Blackwyrm Games has published a licensed HERO System Fifth Edition sourcebook for Golden Age supers gaming, set in the world of their earlier The Algernon Files modern-day book, called The Fires of War. (Both books are also available for Mutants and Masterminds 2nd Edition.) It's a huge collection of quality character, base, and vehicle writeups, for Allies, Axis, and independents, that ooze Golden Age style. Although not an actual guide to roleplaying Golden Age supers, the book has tons of material that could be cribbed for a campaign. You can read more about the Algernon Files books on the Blackwyrm Games website, here, and download free samples from here. I can also point you to several reviews of The Fires of War from the website of RPGNet: http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11660.phtml http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12840.phtml http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11701.phtml http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11788.phtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
