Lord Liaden Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I was surprised to discover that the PDF of the Champions Universe setting source book for HERO Fifth Edition is still on sale in the Hero Games website store: http://www.herogames.com/forums/store/product/495-champions-universe-5th-ed-pdf/ While this book has for the most part been superceded by the Sixth Edition volume of the same name, the 5E version contains material which has not been reprinted since. This includes full write-ups for official NPC heroes: the first Black Mask; Captain Patriot, America's first superhero; the third and still-active MeteorMan; Shugoshin; Stalwart; and Binary Man. There are also write-ups of the Silver Age villain, Dr. Macabre; and the IHA's Minuteman mutant-hunting robot. The book describes the small town of Haynesville, Kansas, the unlikely nexus for significant super-related events. It also features a short adventure, Return Of The Destroyer, the original reintroduction of Dr. Destroyer to the setting after his post-Battle of Detroit hiatus. There are a few maps showing the locations of most of the fictional countries on Champions Earth, and various alien civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. Aside from some artwork, the rest of CU 5E's contents are reproduced elsewhere, but the above are unique to this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 there are probably dead tree copies also so getting the combo is still a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 No dead-tree CU5E listed in the Hero store AFAICT, so can't be ordered from here; but I'm sure you're right that some are out there at various retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble Knight has a lot of dead-tree Hero books. As of this writing they still have a few copies of CU5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
