Re: What Genre book Reprint are you most anticipating? Reprint? Not quite but... I WANT GOLDEN AGE CHAMPIONS!!! Ok. I'm better now.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive It's in motion! It arrive in, and left out of, San Pablo early this morning heading east. Time to start tracking!

Re: Freedom from the Reich

Re: A Storeowner's First Impression I disagree with the above statement, in that I prefer the more generic approach of the modern editions to the old editions where the game was actually "Champions." And I think it would be backward to come out with Champions:HERO, and then create (and re-release all the rules) for Generic:HERO. To a limited extent, I almost agree with Scott - not that I would have wanted to see Champions come out before the core rule books, but I do think that it would have served the game well to have the Champions genre book hit the streets are roughly the same time (with a flashy, comic-booky cover). Champions is still the more familiar brand, and having it on the shelves will pull people towards the rule books - which is ultimately what we want.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Grrrr!!!! Still waiting....

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Yay! I've got a tracking number! Well, for Charcter Creation & Combat and Adventuring. Apparently, ordering the Advanced Player's Guide a couple of days kept it from getting into the same shipment - but it should bubble to top soon. (I guess if I had thought of it sooner i'd have PMed Tina so the could have combined the orders and saved a bit on the shipping fee.)

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore You know, being mostly grain-fed, this might not be bad... What?

Re: Love for Non-Casters? Just a clarifying question: Did your magic rules make the Requires Skill Roll mandatory for spells?

Re: Neptune City Naratives by D-3 Games (Champions) Ack! You found our wiki. Yep - that's where we bounce Neptune City ideas off of each other's noggins.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Me too neither - but I ordered mine alter than most folks so I figure I'm at the bottom of queue.

Re: Paying for Magic Items For Magic Items acquired in game play, I treat them the same way I did in D&D. They are simply part of the reward for adventuring. Now, if the resident PC spellflinger wants to create a custom item, then there's gonna be a point expenditure.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive No books for me yet. Tina doesn't love me anymore. Of course, you probably ordered your's before me...

Re: New to Fantasy Hero I ran Fantasy Hero in the Forgotten Realms for years, just to give all of my old AD&D players a familiar frame of reference - and this was pre-5th edition. Now, with the Fantasy Hero Grimoires and the professions & races from Fantasy Hero, and magic rules created for Turakian Age, it would be even easier. Everything "Turakian" is very similar in feel to the major xD&D settings, so it's a snap to bolt it on.

Re: What's a good introductory adventure? Keep on the Borderlands (and, convieniently enough, our own Kestrel has a Hero System conversion).

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore As does virtually everything. To wit, I give you the meatini... http://www.rathergood.com/meatini

Re: Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 1 of the series.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States A horde of ninja squirrels will descend upon your home next Monday if Warkite is not completed! (How's that?)

Re: Urban/Modern Fantasy Questions The last one I did was set in New Orleans (present day). Game lasted for several years until the gaming group went their separate ways. Since the characters were built on a 50 point base plus disads, there wasn;t much power to abuse

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States Its kind of funny as Wolverines are not - and probably never were - indigenous to Michigan. (How about the Michigan Marten?)

Re: Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers

Re: Demographics Kind of brick-heavy. What states are still un-heroed?

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States Feh! Giants insects are nasty - I want something I can successfully beat up on at least once in while. The 50 are a neat bunch (although only a subsection were present). Personally, I'd like to have seen Wind-Talker in play - but beggars (and volunteer players) can't be choosers.

Re: Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers A bit of thread necromancy here. A tasty new tidbit for Buck Rogers fans: http://www.amazon.com/Buck-Rogers-25th-Century-Newspaper/dp/1932563199/
