Nothing to arbitrate there--the KOTOR games were based off the d20 Star Wars RPG, and copyrights and licensing rights to all SW RPGs rest with Lucasfilm. They could rerelease any of them, just like they did with the WEG RPG a few years back, and even build new derivative works. I expect it's probably just not worth their time.

Praying for him and his loved ones.

I was going to order Enchanted Items and Thrilling Hero Adventures from the online store, but when I tried to check out, I got a message that THA couldn't be shipped to my address. Any idea what's up?

The Day After Ragnarok (HERO 6E version) defines it as a Minor Transform under the Naga write-up (p. 108).

There was a brief moment last night when a $16 or so copy was on Amazon. It's gone now. (No, I didn't buy it; I bought the MegaBundle on the last day Hero Games offered free shipping, lo those many moons ago.)

Re: Nook/Kindel And Hero. Cheep PDF Hero System Books Without Trouble? I've got mine in Documents, transferred by sending it to my Kindle's e-mail address. I haven't yet transferred any Hero PDFs through the Send to Kindle program I downloaded to my laptop, or downloaded any directly onto the Kindle.

Re: Nook/Kindel And Hero. Cheep PDF Hero System Books Without Trouble? Strange. I was reading The Book of the Destroyer on my Kindle Fire yesterday, and it was restoring the document to where I left off whenever I brought it up. Did you mean something different?

Re: Nook/Kindel And Hero. Cheep PDF Hero System Books Without Trouble? My Kindle Fire handles the HERO PDFs just fine, aside from screen size and ratio. EDIT: And Tasha, there are actually a handful of PDFs that are cheaper on DriveThruRPG than they are in the HERO Store. The Ultimate Base is still at the 50% level, for example. I was actually coming over here to ask if DOJ was aware of this.

Re: MYTHIC HERO: What Do *You* Want To See? Steve mentioned in last week's chat that saints are a no-go for either book. Depending on how broadly one defines the term, this would exclude Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, who are all honored as saints by the Catholic Church (and the Orthodox Churches as well, AFAIK).

Re: What if Steve Long is an agent of Empress Istvatha V’han? I now have to wonder if Osiris, Small Fuzzy Guardian of the Universe, was placed next to Steve Long not as protection for Steve . . . but as protection for the universe.

Re: THE HERO SYSTEM GRIMOIRE: What Do *You* Want To See? How about "White Magic" as the opposite of Black Magic, even if it's just a sidebar on how to build it by borrowing spells from other categories? Give the forces of Good equal time!

Re: Excerpted PDFs One idea that comes to mind is Lucha Libre Hero without the Sidekick section. It might grab interest from HERO fans who are curious but don't want to rebuy the rules, or non-HERO fans who'd pay for the genre material but aren't interested in the system.

Re: FANTASY HERO -- What Do *You* Want To See? Any chance of some short corruption rules, given the importance of that element in archetypal works of Epic Fantasy (LotR), Dark Fantasy gaming (Warhammer, AFAIK) and Space Fantasy (Star Wars)? They could even apply to magic in some flavors of S&S Fantasy. I'd like to see some notes on things like the 'subtle magic' discussed in FH's section on Epic Fantasy and the LotR RPG, even if it's only a couple of paragraphs on how to use Change Environment. Also (though this may belong in Chapter 2), some focus on PC qualities of character and magical gifts that aren't as flashy as the 'wizards throwing fireballs' (or 'sorcerers summoning demons' for the S&S crowd) that fantasy gaming magic often gets reduced to, the kind of stuff that shows up in fairy tales and epic fantasy. It's been a long time since I last looked at FH5E, so forgive me if some of this is already there.
