It's a sickness.
 

 
I'd love to see your HERO collection!
 
 

Yup, those priorities make sense. The "same thing but with microscopic differences" stuff can wait.
 
I hope the 5e stuff makes it to you soon!
 
And most of all, I hope all of us who collect Hero stuff get a chance to read (or re-read) it all someday.

Eh, Talbot had a backup plan, and a very comicbookish one at that. I'll let it slide.
 
One a completely unrelated note, I found this:
 

 
I'd seen a couple of those before and was wondering WTF? Here's an explanation:
 

I expect Supergirl to get excoriated in the press and on social media for acting like a grade A b**ch for a day or two, sure. But I don't believe emergency/crisis workers would suddenly start taking down their banners in her honor. Little kids wouldn't throw away their Supergirl shirts so quickly. Most little kids wouldn't even understand the social/psychological dynamics at play, and would reject nasty rumors with staunch defense, at least for a while. Long enough for Supergirl's reputation to be repaired, I'd think.
 
But the demands of the dopey plot must always reign supreme, discarding common sense if that is what is necessary to get the narrative past the next commercial break, right?

It was a good episode except that I personally don't care for the Public Turns Its Back Overnight on Superhero Who Makes A Mistake trope. I guess the whole of National City is as fickle and shallow as Cat Grant. I did like the explanation for the red kryptonite though.
 
I'll say it again, Melissa Benoist is an absolute treasure.

I see Deluxe around from time to time. Not so many Softcovers, for some reason. But they're out there!

You should really rent out your services as a cover designer/PDF compiler.

I would show you all the stuff I have but then the wife will see it. Outta sight outta mind!

Back in 2014 I went through a major Lulu phase, pulling together PDFs and making "deluxe" hardcovers for many things. Only a couple of them were Hero System related. Among the other books I had made was this deluxe hardcover collection of the old FASERIP books:
 


 
These are fat hardcovers with full-color interior pages. Each one cost me about as much as a brand new college textbook, and that's after applying a substantial discount. The fun part was designing the cover graphics and, of course, seeing the final product in all its glory.

Some would say, too easy to collect.
 
But, yes, I'm grateful so much is still available at non-eBay prices. I've been slowly buying things, keeping an eye on stock levels and grabbing things before they run out. Some day, when I figure out where I can put all that stuff, I'll get more serious about it.
(I have about 8 linear feet of Classic Traveller stuff, 4 linear feet of GURPS 1e-3e stuff not in that photo, and about 12 linear feet of other RPG stuff (James Bond 007, BRP, AD&D, B/X D&D, etc., plus my classic video game collection that takes up most of a walk-in closet and a couple of 6' tall shelf units filled with F&SF novels, so space is at a premium. Thank goodness my wife is a gamer, too!)

Nice thing about 5e is that a LOT of the books are still available. Most are also half off here on the Hero Store, which makes them really easy to collect.

One thing I do like abouit 6e. If I have a question about the rules, I can be 99% sure that what I am looking for is there and also with an example that illustrates how something works. 5e base is around the same size as 4e. 5er is much larger. YMMV
I love RPGs that have a TON of supplements. So that I can find anyting I need with game stats (ie I won't have to convert)

YMMV

Here's my Collection. I also have a very substantial miniatures collection. Including Heritage, Grenadier and Swords and Soldiers official Champions Figs.

I'm currently waiting on several more books to be delivered by the USPS but here is the collection as it currently stands.

My 6th ed. collection looks like everyone esle's.
 

 
As do my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th ed. collections, pretty much.
 
But I also have a couple of books nobody esle in the world has.
 

It's a sickness.
 

 
I'd love to see your HERO collection!

No, you're right, not every episode has to be an arc episode. But it would be way more awesome if every episode was.
 
Ever since Babylon 5 in the 90s and Lost in the 00s, I have had a diminished tolerance for episodic storytelling. I want every episode to build the mythology and advance the primary plotline. Throwaway episodes are a waste of time, money, and effort IMO. When fans can assemble a "binge cut" of a series by cutting out half its episodes, so that only the arc episodes remain, you suddenly realize just how much useless filler most tv shows pack into their seasons. This is a major reason why the 10-episode, no-filler, binge-series model has become so popular.

I just sort of wish they would be done with Ward. I was never a huge fan of the character, even when they made him more interesting by turning him into a villain.
 
Can't say I'm a big fan of Lincoln either. I guess you could say Marvel is 0-2 in coming up with love interests for Skye/Daisy that don't mostly bore me to death.
 
Then again, it is the women in this show that make it worth watching for me in general. May, Bobbi, Simmons, and Skye are far more interesting to me than their male counterparts (Coulson, Hunter, Fitz, Lincoln). Though I confess I do have a soft spot in my heart for Fitz.

Yeah this show is turning out to be a guilty pleasure for me. Half of it is moronic, but the other half is irresistable because of Melissa Benoist.
 
Sometimes the writing goes to unintentionally odd places. For instance, when Lucy Lane challenges James on his relationships with Superman and Supergirl, she uses language reserved for spouses who are being cheated on. It's as if she's accusing him of being one step away from having a three-way with them. James' guilty expressions don't help diffuse the awkwardness (Superman and Supergirl are supposed to be so wholesome they make Mr. Rogers look like Larry Flynt).
 
Just the same, I find myself tuning in to watch every week; hell, I even look forward to it. Damn you Melissa Benoist!

I think they took a month off just to rationalize it. 

Two words:  Mayor Snart.  Heh.

Okay, who are you, and how did you get zslane's log-in?

This version of Cat is easily my favorite character on the show.
