This is a great collection of mini-templates for all kinds of characters, well organized and quite extensive. I am enjoying this greatly.

What a terrible scan. Ugly, and difficult to read. I feel ripped off.

The Hero System Bestiary (3rd Edition)
by Christopher [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/26/2024 02:50:38

IDK how I wound up with 3rd-Ed. anything, but here I am. Still, while I plan on getting 4th-Ed., this Bestiary is fantastic. The alyout and feel reminds me very much of RoleMaster. It contains just about every animal you can imagine, most of which are so analogous as not to warrant their own entries, making it much easier to find what you're looking for.

If you enjoy RoleMaster, this book should be easy to navigate.

Horror Hero – Endless Nightmares (4th Edition)
by Christopher [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/14/2024 18:37:20

HERO is one of the best systems out there and I've cannibalized it for my CoC, Chill, and other horror games for decades, so this is awesome. Very much in-line with Hero Fantasy (and the Companions) and just as worth the price. I just bought this a week ago and, were this a book and not a PDF, it would already be dog-eared.

Neither love nor hate the SAN/stress system but do love everything else (so far, still reading).

HERO System 6th Edition: Character Creation
by Russell [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/02/2024 01:04:03

There are few systems that can do what I want, and Hero is simply top-tier when it comes to flexibility, depth and allowing any type of game the GM is willing to put the work into. Yes, there will be some work, this system is complex and packed with options.

The book is massive, and my only regret is that you cannot get this book in hardcover & color anymore. You may find book 2 in hardcover if you look hard.

Champions: The Super Role Playing Game (4th edition)
by Henry [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/27/2024 19:24:00

First, the game. Champions 4e is in my opinion the best edition. It is the most complete since it has the entire Hero System book with it. It also avoids being over saturated the way 5e and 6e does.

Second, we discuss the POD. It’s not very good. It’s pixelated. Not just the art. All of the print is pixelated making the text blurry. It still works and will allow you to get this older game for a reasonable price.

Victorian Hero: Heroic Roleplaying in the Victorian Era
by Alex H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/17/2024 13:17:40

This is a well-researched reference and setting book covering the Victorian Era. It reminds me of the HERO Settings book I grew up reading. If you enjoy Steampunk or playing by gaslight this is for you. If you’re like me, and you love the high drama of this era, popularized by Detective Stories like Enola and Sherlock Homes or Moriarty you will find much of interest in this book. Perhaps, you’re looking to run a good old monster of the week or something more cross genre like Penny Dreadful or League of Extraordinary Gentleman, this work will guide you. Do you like the 1999 Mummy? If you want to run or play a game built around any of those ideas, you have found the right source.

The book thoroughly covers the Victorian Era Including famous people, Organization and Conspiracies. It covers London of the era in detail, including locations for adventure and exploration. It also has all the useful Hero System information of how to create Victorian Characters, the Victorian Monsters those characters will face, and a lengthy list of campaigns made easy using this book. Perhaps you want your players to face an Anfac on the High Moorse of Scotland, cross blades with Spring-Heeled Jack or just meet a time traveler and his time machine from some unknowable future this book has all that and more.

Terra Prime
by Eric [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/09/2024 13:49:40

Really enjoy and appreciate this book! I love the Hero System already, and in particular love the universal quality of the system that encourages genre mashing. This is a nice intro to an urban fantasy setting with the fantasy out in the open, not a secret world per se. I can use other Hero System supplements to flesh it out with equipment, magic etc. I in particular use the Monster Hunter International supplement with this to get a slightly more gritty feel. I would love to see more material for this as a campaign!

Millennium City
by Jonathan [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/06/2023 23:58:11

I'm rather new to the world of TTRPGs, but I wanted to try a superhero campaign and bought this to have some inspiration for an urban city environment. The biggest thing I feel like I should make clear to potential buyers is that it was very well-detailed, but it is DATED. I know that it is marked here as being updated in 2016, but I believe that this book was originally written sometime around 2003 - which is now going on 20 years ago!

I'm sure this would have been invaluable back then, and there's still a huge chunk of very useable source material that you can use as a base or inspiration for your own setting. But make no mistake, this is a "city of the future" as written before smartphones.

As is, it's an interesting time capsule of projected future tech - similar to the dissonant amused feeling you get from watching original Star Trek episodes, where they have spaceships and instant teleportation and yet Captain Kirk pulls out a giant brick of a walkie-talkie instead of a cellphone. Millennium City has skyscrapers littered with holographic billboards and only allows self-driving cars on its roads - but also has a healthy population of "Information Kiosks", newstands with payphones and "internet connection booths". It's difficult to not feel dated when a potential campaign hook has Mayor Biselle planning to run as "the first African American president".

As an aside, I felt like the portrayal of the police and their relationship the citizens of Detroit (which as of now boasts an 80% black population) was also a reflection of an unfortunately dated time period, as the social nuance of the last few years has come into hard conflict with the copaganda attitude that prevailed most of media in the early 2000s.

None of this is the actual fault of the writers of this book, who I'm sure did their best projections as to what the near future would appear like. But as someone wanting to do a modern campaign, I was a little taken aback by how dated the setting was. We are as far from the Y2K era as the writers of this were to the 1980s, but as long as you are aware of this going in, there's a lot to admire about the detail given to this location.

I do not know if there are any plans to make a completely updated version for the 2020s, or perhaps a new superhero location altogether, but I would be incredibly interested in it, especially if it was given the attention to detail that this book currently has. However, I feel like it falls short of what was promised as far as a modern setting goes, and I would have been more hesitant to purchase it had I known it was suited for a more retro campaign. Ultimately, Millennium City feels appropriately named, but as a relic of the millennial past instead of future I assume it initially intended.

Dram
by Jonathan K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/07/2023 19:27:55

A nice short ambient piece, with a meditative vibe. You could certainly use this as a theme for a recurring character or locale in an RPG.

Bend
by Jonathan K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/07/2023 19:25:04

This is a superbly thought-out campaign setting, based on the geopolitics of a near-future alternate Earth experiencing First Contact with aliens. It's a very original concept, well worth trying out with your RPG group.
