I like to have extras for people to use/borrow, plus I bought a couple replacements when my original copies started to fall apart (the 6E books and the 4E books had that in common--a problem with the binding coming unglued). Personally, I'd love it if my players would have bought copies for their own use, but as it was I had to practically drag some of them kicking and screaming into the light of HERO... They're smart people, good gamers, but they have a tough time grokking the way the game works.

A copy purchased when the BBB first came out, a few inherited from friends who left gaming/Champions, and two picked up inexpensive (under $10 each) at used book stores (the "deluxe" edition and the softcover version).

A couple snapshots... (just realized that Champions Universe isn't on the shelf...)

I have tried and failed to locate in my 6th edition books any definition for the "Spell" Limitation. It appears as a Limitation on many spells in the HSG, but I can't locate info about it in the books -- 6E1 or 6E2, FH, or the Grimoire. Can I get an indication where to locate a definition for this Limitation? Thanks!

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? Perhaps villain books in Champions are what monster books are for D&D. With monster books, only a segment of the game-purchasing D&D audience buys them -- primarily DMs and collectors. Most players have no need or reason to buy monster books. Likewise, villain books are primarily of use to Champions GM -- a segment of those who play HERO. Most players never see a need to buy them. With a genre book like Star Hero, there is something of interest in such a book for GMs and players alike, and anyone who enjoys any form of S-F. Just a theory; I have no special info to back any of this up.

Re: Champions Villian Voulms Beyond 3: Is There Room For More? I was just thinking the other day that it would be quite handy to have a book of superheroes (as opposed to villains) or superhero teams. I doubt there's sufficient interest in such books to make them worthwhile. As for more supervillains, to me they are like monsters for a fantasy RPG -- I can always use more. Maybe a book of several different villain themes: horror-themed, high-tech themed, secret organization themed, etc.

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? So the best solution is to get everyone you know to buy copies of CV 1 and CV 2. Have more people vote with their pocketbooks!

Re: Just saw 6th Edition and got a chance to leaf through it...

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Ha! What makes you think they haven't already? I had a lot of fun playing 4e, but it eventually wore out its welcome. Now I'm 100% converted to HERO and there's no going back...

Re: Champions Beyond

Re: Champions Beyond Is there much overlap between Champions Beyond and the 5e sourcebook, Galactic Champions, or are these completely different books?

Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains Printed copies of STAR HERO are available at GenCon. Did DOJ work with a different printer to make this happen?

Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains I remember back in early December 2010 when the PDF for vol. 3 was released. I was in the earliest planning stages for a Champions campaign. I figured the hard copy would be out in plenty of time for my start date. Eight months later, I'm on the verge of launching my campaign... I never ever would have guessed the hard copy version of this book would still be unavailable...

Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains I too look forward to having this third volume in paper copy. Back in Feb. when the printing backlog started, I never would have guessed we'd still be waiting for this book in late July, with no release date in sight. I can't imagine how frustrating this has been for the folks at HERO...

Re: The HERO System 6th Edition I would be interested in knowing about the availability of the 6th edition rulebooks from the Online Store myself. I am planning on ordering a spare set of copies of both volumes, but the "item detail" for the bundle indicates "[Note: Books still in transit from printer. Will ship upon arrival]" Is there any indication of how long a wait this might entail? If there is likely a long wait involved (i.e., more than a month), then I will probably hold off placing an order for these books.
