Re: Which books do I need? Cheers!

Re: Which books do I need? Thanks for all of the replies - particulalry Lord Liaden - really comprehensive! I am a little at a crossroads in that, for my gaming group, M&M will have a lot of appeal as its based on the d20 mechanic (which they are familiar with via D&D) and I'll certainly be looking into it further. However, while it is going back a fair while, IMHO the "feel" of the original Champions ruleset was more appropriate for a superhero RPG than d20. So, I guess I need to do a bit more digging in terms of how much that flavour is still present in the 5ER (and how much of it is just romantacised by time!) and how much M&M is different from D&D. As the Hero System Sidekick is available for around UK£6 its not a huge investment to test the water with . . . as for M&M there is a free chapter on character creation available that I'll take a look at which at least will give me some basis to form an opinion on. Thanks for your help.

Hi this is my first post here but I'm a long time poster on ENWorld (as I play D&D), at the suggestion of one of the people there (thanks Theron!) I'm reposting my question from http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=191257 Back in the day . . . some twenty odd (25?) years ago I used to play Champions 1st edition with my gaming group. I've never been near it (or any other superhero RPG) since and believe it is now part of the Hero system (?). So my question is what gaming books would I need to play a Champions campaign using the current ruleset? And as a bonus question - how much does the rule system today differ from 1st edition? Many thanks!
