Re: Repercussions of mass-producing comic book technology To quite a certain CG super hero movie where the main villain stated "I'll sell my inventions so everyone can be superheroes! Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super, [laughs maniacally] no-one will be.".... Not exactly the most evil thing he could do....

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Wouldn't shock me, but I'm probably one of the few people who also has a wife that tends to toss out stuff just lying about.

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Okay so I had a few days to think it over, and a friend forwarded me his copy of the basic rules in pdf forward to me, from what I read it feels allot like Tri-stat only a bit more so, so who knows maybe if I have any cash left over next pay day I'll drop some money on the core books.

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Okay I just got home from work, sorry for the delay, to answer the one question, no I don't even know what FLGS is as we don't have any in my neck of the woods, I live in the land of independent game shops, or Amazon.com if said shops don't have what we wanted. Maybe, and I mean this sternly maybe, I'll give the books ago, I'm going to want to borrow them from someone at this point first so I can read them and make that decision, hard to do considering in my local gaming group none of us are Hero System players. This is because I don't honestly have allot of trust built up for the company at the moment. I'm willing to buy into say... White wolf, or Fantasy Flight Games blind, because I've bought there products before and usually had good experiences with them..... Hero Games and I have clearly started off very rocky so I'm probably not going to make the mistake I made here and go off book cover alone this time around.... At this point when I see my gaming circle tomarrow, this experience is probably going to come up since I didn't try to find a copy of "Silver age Sentinels" at a used book store and insteed tried the "Long running and still published" I'm probably going to get a combination of "Really? holy crap." and "Wow I told you so".

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book I'm afraid right now being told I would only need to spend an extra 20.00 to make what I was led to belive was a full game work is small comfort, particularly considering that I would be paying would be a "watered down" version of the rules. But about returning it? Sure if I had a recipt, guess what my wife lost......

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Thats kinda what "suppliment" means... As in not standalone. Look I'm not attempting to rag on the game itself, mostly because I do not have the full game, but I!m pretty sure if it was more clear on the book itself that I needed extra books, then I would have left it on the shelf gathering dust. Its the same reason I dont play DnD, I dont like having to dump money into sevral books to get basic rules.'

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Well I understand that *now* The point is that the only way I found that hour what when I went to the "Character creation" section and saw that it was...... missing a great deal. Also no where on the book does it clearly state that it requires anything else to play, I pulled a random book off my self and checked to see if it was noted that it required other books to play in a clear concise manner.... First book I grabbed said this....

Re: Questions about the Champions 6E core rules book Would you be so kind as to circle where on the back cover of this book that it clearly states it requires other books to play.

So far, nice book, like the art style, but I got a few concerns about the content of the book, It seems to be missing a few shockingly important details..... Like how to make a character...... or how combat works....... Basically you can see where I'm going with this, I got the book, mainly because no where on the front or back cover does it stat "You need like 2 expensive books to make this work" if anythins the front cover stats "The role playing game" strongly implying, the complete role-playing game! So in short "What the hell, Hero games is this, crap!!!"
