An idea

I do not subscribe to Digital Hero, but it would seem to me that DH subscribers would not object to E products as much or they wouldn't be subscribers in the first place. So, maybe DH subscribers should get a 20% discount or so on HERO Plus Products?

This perk might encourage die hard e-luvin' herophiles to subscribe to DH even more. Meanwhile, Playtesters (who, I believe, are subscribers as part of being playtesters) would have this as a sort of 'we can't pay you... so here's a way of thanking you instead' message going for them.

Just a thought, not sure how workable or practical it would be.

Admitedly

If it was $7 or $8, I'd seriously consider it.

If it had been at that rate, I probably would have bumped it up on my 'get now instead of later' schedule.

If I may suggest to any fellow players?

Perhaps someone who HAS purchased it and had time to digest it fully might post a detailed and honest review to RPGnet?

That way more would at least know it is availible (not everyone who plays Champions may actually be a regular on these boards), and could decide for themselves if it is worth purchasing. From what I hear, it most assuredly is.

Speaking only for myself

In my case, cash flow is the major concern. I'm having to space it out. I just recently FINALLY got Terran Empire... in short, it looks like I'll be a few months behind when it comes to picking up products.

I really DO want the product, but life keeps delaying my delights.

Joining the Club

I finally got my hands on Terran Empire. Really, I had some concerns, particularly since my players are very into Champions, but not so interested in Star Hero. I figured that I would at least get a chance to use the "official" races in my current Champs setting so got it anyways. MAYBE I could talk them into gaming a sci fi game as well...but I was still worried this would be a 'novelty' at best.

Now that it is in my hand, the effect is not unlike reaching into a box of crackerjacks HOPING for maybe a neat plastic ring, and finding a gold nugget! I find myself quite taken by the setting, which manages to incorporate classic elements without getting cliche' about it. It has so many hooks, options, and information that I am now much more certain I CAN hook my players... and what's more, they'll thank me for it.

Jim didn't make that name up; I did.

 

It's a contraction of the Latin felix, meaning "cat."

 

So, in short, your players are over-educated the wrong way.

Ya wouldn't happen to have also had something to do with one planet being named Osiris, would ya?

Are you also taking genetic splicing and clones into account? If human beings underwent some sort of inheritable bio-engineering for different planets, you might have a darn good substitute for varying races after some generations passed.

Any suggestions?

Have an NPC do the legwork, but insist on having a PC come along for protection. The PC can be used as either muscle, or to save the NPC from developing cement boots

In the mean time, the PC will be watching the NPC at work, and will have a perfectly legitimate reason to buy those same skills later on and you won't have to do this again

Assuming they want to.

Since Nebula appears to be so generally loathed, would someone care to enlighten those of us who are supplement-poor as to who she is?

She is on pages 184-187 of Conquerers, Killers, and Crooks. She's a 'cop' from the Andromeda Galaxy who serves a rather draconian legal system. One of her powers is the banishing of criminals to "duress" , a prison/torture camp dimension where they serve time (sometimes, forever) for crimes according to her own people's law.

Moderation is not her strong point.
