By the way,i hope DC Comics does a fourth edition of the DC Heroes role-playing game very soon

Which edition of champions can the golden age champions book from 1994 be used with?

Not sure about reprints per se, but it seems likely they'll tie the comics universe into lockstep with the movies/streaming series.  They won't license;  there's no value *to them* to do so, and it seems unlikely they would want to relinquish ANY creative control any time soon, as they try to build the franchise.  No, not rebuild;  there isn't enough there, IMO.  They have to start from basically ground zero.

 

Cynical thought?  The gaming industry will probably get more of a boost from official Marvel or DC games, long as they're decent, than they'd ever get from Hero for DC.

you make a very good point

    I don’t think you ever mentioned what brought on the question in the first place?  Was it just a vague curiosity, did you want to run that kind of game someday or what?

It was just a vague curiosity.,thank you for asking

Licensing invites corporate oversight. This is not a good idea. So thank goodness it's too expensive for Hero to have a Licensing agreement with DC< especially with the Discovery Merger, D.C. may end up as strictly reprints, anyway.

 

Yeah,you are right about that.

Licensing can really help with sales, but the chances of Hero ever getting a deal to do so are lower than me in a hot tub with Alexandria Daddario and Kate Upton.  I tried to get Kurt Busiek to consider Hero licensing Astro City for a game but he wanted no part of it (likely has heard some bad stories about licensing deals and purity of the product ideal).  Marvel is putting out their own RPG soon, which DC will likely copy; they do have an old DC Heroes RPG but it never really caught on.

You make a good point.,i hope DC Does so soon.

Will Hero Games ever acquire the dc comics license?

good idea

Can I use the generic golden age character templates with champions 1st edition?

Just wondering.
