Actually, I've worked very hard at making certain 6th Edition (and even some 5th Edition) books are made available print-on-demand via DriveThruRPG when we sell through their print runs. In fact, the only reason the core 6th Ed rules aren't currently available that way is because Ruben and I had to recently redo their layout to fix some problems. But they will never really go out of print.

I don't really count DTRPG on demand printing as In Print. I call ordering it from a local RPG store or a bookseller In Print. And on Amazon, 6th ed part 1 is mostly available used:

See all formats and editions

Note: This item is only available from third-party sellers (see all offers).

If I saw the above with a book I knew nothing about, I'd guess that title was out of print. Release date is 2009 so yeah, 9 years, it's probably out of date. Now that book will start competing with a book titled Champions Now released in 2019. This can cause confusion. I'm not telling you how to run your business. I'm just expressing my concern about possible confusion among new customers.

Are the 6th edition books in print? I don't think they are. If they aren't won't this confuse people? I know you said this isn't 7th edition. But folks who don't come to the hero games website will just see a "new" champions book coming out. If you are recruiting a new player and they go to amazon next year looking for "champions" will they find the 6th ed books for sale or will they find this nostalgia edition for sale (from 3rd party resellers)?

I'm not understanding the need for this. I've been reading the forums and the facebook groups and nothing has explained to me who this is for, other than the nostalgic RPG player.

I'm also curious if the comment above by rjcurrie is accurate as that's the first I've heard about there being two game systems in the book.

Of course, the simplest solution to 2.5 and 3.5 speed is to just alternate speeds each round. First combat round for the 2.5 speed character he acts as 2 speed on 6 and 12. Next round he has 3 speed and acts on 4, 8, and 12. Repeat.

Imagine the fun you have when that villian who acted on 3, 6, 9, and 12 has 5 speed on round 2.

Re: 6E Errata

It's not available as a PDF or better formatted list? That's not very printer friendly.

Is there a list of errata for 6E somewhere? I can't find it easily from the home page.
