CorpCommander Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Got my books today! Wow! Heavy. As in really heavy. As in delivery guy glared. No wonder they got hung up in customs, they must be made of yellowcake or something because they are just unnaturally dense... or was that just my copy? Maybe Density Increase accidentally got shook on in shipping. My sincere sympathy to those who got theirs with the Damage Shield advantage turned on!

SvZurich Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I was hoping for the neutronium edition myself. Shipping would have had major issues, but I could coat my walls with the pages of the books duct-taped together and never had to worry about radiation or a nuclear explosion again. Assuming my apartment's structure is strong enough to stay intact with those pages taped to the walls, ceiling, floor, and roof. Thinking I need to protect the outside to keep the place intact during the initial explosion, and on the inside to ensure no radiation makes it through of pages outside are blown away, stolen, fall off. I live in Nevada, 90 miles from the test site, can't be too careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive If you get one with invisibilty turned on do you get a refund? I'd be more worried about Desolid. With Invisibility, you can at least fumble around until you find it and can turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpCommander Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive If you get one with invisibilty turned on do you get a refund? Depends on the level. If only a few points of invisibility were on it would be hard to see but you could eventually get it back to normal. I think it would be kinda cool if it came covered in eternal flame. No points (just a SFX) but still pretty cool. Not enough heat to burn, not enough light to read by, just cool to look at... blue and yellow flames gently lapping over the surface. From all reports it is possible some came that way. Maybe Tina and Co. can recreate the .223 penetration test again. I think this version can easily defeat an assault rifle. Next time I'm at the range I may replace my Mk III plate with the Vol 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I'm sure they'll get around to bullet-testing the books eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpCommander Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive While I like the prior edition, I am very sure the density of this one will cause the bullet to shatter and spread it's energy. I could be wrong. My .223 has no trouble going through a 1/4" steel plate at 125 yards. The density of this though is something special. Still - we must wait for imperical testing! BTW - while I have the PDFs already, I was surprised just how beautiful the new edition is. It isn't the best edition of Hero but the best RPG I've seen in a long time. All I can say is the team really pulled together, through tragedy and all, and hit a 3 run homer (kinda like the Phillies last night!)

Two home runs in one inning? At least they were solos. I just received confirmation that my books were sighted in Jersey (Secaucus, to be exact) by UPS. A little closer, my preciousssss....

Wolf Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I had to look, 14 days since this thread was started...that's not as bad as I felt (I've been getting worried because I still haven't gotten my books), I still am curious, though; at what time should we start being concerned that our books haven't arrived? As a side note, I just got a call from my FLGS: the Hero System Basic Rulebook just arrived. LOL, so I'll be getting that before I get the books I got at Gencon, that I'm not upset about, I'm WAY more amused. So the lesson is: I can read my Basic rulebook before I get the big set. I can deal with that. However my question still stands, for those of us who ordered at Gencon, at what point do we need to start looking into this? I love Hero Games, and I've never been displeased with their results... I also know things happen, stuff get's misplaced, or even misdirected... I just want to know the theoretic "when would it be prudent to start asking more questions." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's getting close there is no doubt. Thanks though. I always hate to be that one whiny dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media Mail to the east coast can take weeks from the warehouse in the middle of the Nevada desert, sometimes (I live in Maryland), so I'd at least give it to the 21 or 28 day mark. But like someone else said, Tina is on this site and able to answer your question if you PM her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
