Re: Current Champions or will 4th Edition suffice? I recall having a discussion sometime back here and being shot down about my collecting HERO books as an investment tool as a bad thing and that the collecting of RPG books was stupid because you would never make a dime back on them......Right.....I see My copies of HERO are now invaluable. Just like my BESM 3E that I sold for $250.00 when I got it for $10.00, who's the idiot now?

Re: Champions Villian Voulms Beyond 3: Is There Room For More? Won't happen, CV3 isn't even here yet, so don't count on it. My faith in HERO is diminished to say the least.

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? Wow...you really took that meaning out of context huh? And wrong! Buy comparing a main line rule book which everyone will buy (player & GM) sales will automatically be higher on the scale, compared to a GM based book only (a companion book that only a GM will buy)......That is what I was talking about.

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? As to PDF's, I don't buy them and I don't care for people who do. I think they are a waste of time and money, as they are non-collectable, valueless pieces of trash in the long run, easily lost in a computer meltdown and hard to recover, my books are true value, I can resell them for money later on down the line, sometimes for way more when they are long out of print, allot of books gain value and become rare, pdf's do not hold this distinction, they are worthless trash in this regard. I will never see the value of these stupid pdf's, until they become legal to transfer and resell just like a paper copy book, otherwise to me they are just crap and a way for a business to make easy money for no work hardly at all on its poor customers, who pay like HERO charges extreme amounts for PDF's, that are almost the cost of a printed book, so why should I pay 2/3rds the cost of a printed book for a pdf and just pay a little more and get the book that GAINS VALUE in the long run over a worthless pdf? Riddle me this Batman! This is why I want my CV3.....Sorry for the rant but it's how I feel..

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? Well like I said before, I like several others are new to Champions and don't have the vast array of books that everyone here seems to have access to, so we need these CV1-3 books, for those of you who have all your 5th ed. books, burn them and then you will see what I'm talking about as you will be in the same boat. ("Still on strike until CV3 is printed!")

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? Good for them, but I don't have a vast warehouse of 5th edition books to live off of, some of us need these books, if HERO would just do as they intended all would be well, it still has nothing to do with the fact that it leaves a gap in solo villains which I needed to complete my collection and the fact there are some really cool villains in that book. There is no reason APG 2 should have been printed before CV3 anyhow! Then to top it off is the front page splash; "All I’ve done this week is work on Chapter Three of The Book Of The Empress. This is one of the biggest chapters of the book — it covers the Imperial Legions, her vast military machine. I’ve been writing up character sheets for some of her thousands of superhuman soldiers. As a bonus, I’ve included a list of all the villains in Champions Villains, Vols. 2-3." Thats nice so the next book we'll see printed is "The Book of the Empress", that is going to include CV3 character lists WHY!? They haven't even printed the damn book yet! I am not buying one more book until they print CV3, that's a promise....I am on strike until then.

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? Just another smoke screen to me, more of the same BS! Just print the book already....... I see the Advanced Players guide #2 hit shelves wow really another worthless tome, I need my villains book or some good setting and universe books, but these guides to tell me how to change rules or rework stuff in the game, come on, I GM and can figure that out on my own, I really don't need a book to tell me how to do it, I don't even use the first one I picked up. A good vehicle guide would have made more sense.

Re: Champions Villains Volume Three: Solo Villains when will it be on the shelf? Well as the OP back in May, its now what Sept. 8th., 4 months later and I still can't get a copy of this book in my hands but I am able to get Star Hero and Champions Beyond, which I now have, it is now going beyond disappointment to pure madness, I am starting to really get upset with this company over this, if you can't print the thing, turn it over to LULU and let it become a POD so we can at least get our hands on it, this is just stupid now. Patients is one thing but the excuses are beginning to run thin.

On page 182, the Template says Qularr Template but clearly this looks to be for the Gadroon, I think it's a Misprint?

Re: What do you really think of Champions Online? I quit playing after they went FTP, they ruined my characters when they changed the power setup structure, I loved the freeform original system, the new system is way too liner and feels wrong. I really wish they would have used the actual HERO system with point building powers from the books, to me thats champions, not levels.

Re: Champions Villains, Volume 3: Solo Villains Well I would get the PDF's if they were cheaper, but at $28+ a pop! thats just a little too much to chew for electronic BS, half that to look at and maybe, because I can get the printed book for $32 on Amazon when it comes out anyhow. I want my Ch:Vil:Solo Vol3 in print and now, its taking way too long, I have bought all the other books in print so far and I will agree, PDF's suck when it comes to pirate's too easy but I still want print, I am an old schooler who hates electronic media, I think its going to be the downfall of the RPG industry in the end.

Is the Villains (Solo) book#3 ever going to see a hardcopy? I have all the other champions books and have been waiting forever for this book to get printed so i can get a finished hardcopy to complete my set, is it ever coming and when? I don't want a pdf. Thanks

Re: The HERO System Advanced Player's Guide I have been buying the books, but I wont buy the PDF's, DOJ really overprices them, for about $10.00 more I can get a printed book most of the time, I just don't understand the price gouging with the pdf's with any company.

Re: The HERO System Equipment Guide Eeeeeh, overpriced I thinks for a pdf. I'll wait for a book.
