    Having just gotten Champions Complete, which books would be recommended for a Uresia campaign aside from Fantasy Hero, or will Fantasy Hero do just fine alongside CC?

     

    (Currently toying with the idea of revamping a Kovali magical girl for Hero that was done originally under Risus)

  7. [New Product] Champions Complete

    While we're on the subject' date=' I find the two column format of Hero books means they also read very well in PDF on an iPhone. Perfect for cheering up that dull commute to work or using for quick reference in-game. I think the new Champs Complete will work particularly well in that last point due to the more condensed approach.[/quote']

     

    I'll definitely vouch for this on the Android side. Even when holding it in portrait mode instead of landscape, it's still pretty clear. You'd still have to pan-and-zoom for the page-spanning tables, but stuff that is in columns works out quite well.

    Just put in my $40 (plus s&h) to get my copy. I've had the 6e Basic Rulebook for a while now and had meant to step up to the full ruleset at some point. This makes it much easier by having it in one volume again and at an affordable price (and since the preorder included the PDF at no extra charge, I had to put my money where my mouth is in supporting that kind of thing!).

     

    Of course, it'll take a good while to plow through the material, but a glance-through shows a satisfying product so far. No, you won't get the presentation values of competitors like M&M/DCA or MHR, and it's definitely light on illustration work. However, they layout is definitely readable, even on my Galaxy S when using column view on EZPDF Reader. File size is even lighter than with the Basic Rulebook.

     

    So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing!

    Re: What do you really think of Champions Online?

     

    Well, I took advantage of the recent free weekend to get a character up to 11. It's not bad, and I did feel more like playing a superhero than I did with CoX (actually taking on superhero-worthy opponents rather than random street thugs). A few quests felt grindy at times though (such as having to take down 150 mutates in Burning Sands). The environments were pretty good too.

     

    However, I'm going to hold out a bit longer before activating my registration key. Yeah, I already bought it thanks to the big Steam holiday sale a while back. However, at the time I didn't have a system that could run it so I put it aside until I had one that does. My current system could handle it, but I want to get a better video card (probably an ATI 5750 or 5770) before fully diving in since it's currently running Intel G4x graphics, which does not do things justice at all. I'll at least enjoy the first month free at that point. Any further would hinge on their improving the content situation and hopefully seeing more options for character design (more costume pieces that'll let me get the characters closer to the concepts in my mind).
