Thank you for the suggestions. I think I'll try Noble Knight games first and see what they offer. I only mentioned the Champions books on this forum, but I've got quite a few others: Traveller, 2nd edition D&D, old Judge's Guild stuff, Deadlands, 7th Sea, and In Nomine are the big ones. Those are the ones I actually played in and/or gamemastered. Then I have a bunch of others that I picked up just because they looked interesting. I'm sure most of you here have a similar collection. It will save me time, which I need because I'm also looking for a new job and preparing my house to be put on the market. I appreciate the kind response and advice.

Have you considered playing up on the consequences of having a hero with a healing power? How about a plot where a villain (or even a hero) kidnaps the mage because they have a DNPC who is dying and needs regular healing. What about a reporter challenging the hero that their time would be better spent at a hospital than chasing crazies in capes? You might also want to put some doubt into that healing being 100% reliable. How about a villain with a vulnerability to magic, so that trying to heal them causes more damage than the healing fixes? Or introduce a character with an ability like the Gamer - no visible wounds even as they take damage, but when they do drop it is easy to kill them. Another option is to put in some henchmen that really aren't all that tough. Or mind control an innocent and stuff them in a costume. I wouldn't suggest using all of them, but put them in situations where going all out has bad consequences.

*sigh* Not 1st edition. I was thinking Champions, Champions II and Champions III, but opened the cover and it's really a 3rd edition, 2nd printing. The back cover is the cheesy "Be A Hero!" guy. (I always liked that slogan.) It has been a few years, so I was confused. Sorry to get your hopes up.

Since my content has to be approved by a moderator, I'll give it a try and see if this passes. If it doesn't, I'll PM you. Total of 21 books, most in good condition. The one exception being Champions 4th edition which has a broken spine. All of the pages are there, but some are coming loose. Champions (1st Edition) Champions II Champions III Champions (4th Edition) Champions (5th Edition) Challenges for Champions Champions in 3-D Champions Universe Classic Organizations Dark Champions Enemies III Enemies III (Yes, two copies of Enemies III - I'm not sure how that happened.) European Enemies Invaders from Below Justice Inc. Campaign Book Mind Games Mystic Masters Ninja Hero Normals Unbound Scourge of the Deep The Olympians I also have a few Champions Comics, because at one time Champions was so popular they tried to spin off their own comic series: Hero Comics: Champions issues 2, 3, & 4 Marksman issues 1, 2 & 3 Eclipse Comics: Champions Mini-series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 All comics still in plastic sleeves and in excellent condition. I also feel obligated to mention that some of the books are available on this site in PDF format. I realize what I've listed are now of more of interest as collectibles as the rules system has evolved. I have fond memories of playing Champions. My gaming group was totally into Dungeons & Dragons in highschool. I played Champions all through college, usually as the game master. Still, they aren't doing me any good sitting in a box.

Probably not the best first post on the forum to jump in trying to sell something, but I need some advice. I'm between jobs at the moment and while I've had some nibbles, I decided that I should sell off some of my old gaming books which have been mostly sitting in boxes for a three decades. That includes a large collection of Champions books, most of it lightly used, but some books were well used. I got into Champions way back when Champions II came out and I have a lot of books to go with it. I've looked at eBay, but I'm not sure if that is the best place to sell or not. A used book store won't give me much, I already know that. So, suggestions for where to go? Would it be okay to post a list of what I have here? I didn't find site rules forbidding it, but most forums consider selling stuff on a site as rude. That's why I'm asking for advice on where to go and not just posting a list, so any tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
