Looking for gamer resource

Hey, folks.

Do any of you play a game system called Hero Games?

If you do, do you have (or know anybody who has) the supplement "Star Hero"?

Thanks in advance!

I can't count the number of hours that I played Champions and other Hero games. I have a PDF of Star Heros open. Wazzup?

I played Champions back in the days when the rule book was the size of a graphic novel, and enjoyed it. I tried it again a few years ago (5th ed) and the basic rule book was 491 pages, plus whatever supplements... and it had grown so large that it contradicted itself all over the place, so I quit.

My main character had a ship that I still periodically take out and tinker with. I keep running into references to "for more on X, see Star Hero" but I don't feel like spending $20 just to get a copy for that, so I was wondering if anyone had a copy they wanted to part with.

I won't touch 5E.  4th is fine, but 5th is ridiculous!  I spent most of my time playing 2nd and 3rd editions back in the 80s, didn't have much of a life back then. :-)  My friends and I worked at a game company and played Champions a ridiculous amount of time!  There were sometimes four or more campaigns going at the same time, and crossovers were not uncommon, especially when sci fi cons were in town. I might be able to help you with a hard copy if I come across mine, I'm not really interested in holding on to it.  Keep an eye on Bundle of Holding: they run Hero bundles every year or two.

Thanks!

I don’t know if you get mailings from Bundle of Holding, but they just released a TONNE of Adventurers Club and other hero zine publications in PDF format. Thought you might be interested.

Cool, thank you!

Most welcome.  I'm looking forward to reading them myself.
