JeffSmith Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I am working on a Champaions game set during WWII. Does anyone have any source materials or information for the HERO game system related to WWII? All I have at the moment is the 4th edition Golden Age book. I appreciate any help that can be given.

Tom McCarthy Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Unknown Eagles was a Hero Plus (PDF) product for heroic WWII adventures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendsmiths Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 GURPS Wierd War II has some really fun ideas about the wierder aspects of WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herolover Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Golden Age Champs, although written for supers, has a lot of equipment written up for the major factions of WWII. It includes guns, tanks, and even has equipment list for soldiers. Someone mentioned GURPS WWII and I can't second that enough. GURPS is great for sourcebooks and is pretty easily converted to HERO. Other than that the WWII genre is pretty new to RPG's amd I hate to say you are kinda on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendsmiths Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I actually mentioned Wierd War II because I think it has a section talking about Supers. World War II is also great. It's kind of a "WWII for Dummies" w/ stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSmith Posted December 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Thanks for the help. I have two of the Weird Wars books and am hoping to get some Gurps stuff soon. I have tried to find a copy of the Unknown Eagles book, but have not been able to so far. If anything else comes to mind, please post it.

Koshka Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Not Hero System, but there was a WWII sourcebook released for the DC Heroes game -- I think the title was A World At War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
