Re: An Alternative origin for the explosion of Supers!

Personally I like the idea that the massive deaths in WW1 awakened ancient Evils, and the Heroes to fight them. Then WW2 exacerbated that, and a new age of heroes was born. I absolutely love this idea! I like the idea of HU being set in the BtS/Nightbane world. There is no actual alien player chara...

Re: Hardware unlimited what happen to it??

At least Atorian Empire is still a possibility!!! I suspect that book has the same chances as a Hardware Unlimited book does at this point. It is no secret that I have a copy of the manuscript that Wayne Breaux turned in. I ran it a few times at the Open House over the years. It is great AND, every...

Re: Hardware unlimited what happen to it??

It seems like Hardware Unlimited was officially cancelled in 2015 . Yeah, and given the most recent weekly update, it's safe to assume the project is dead in the water: "Officially Canceled: These projects aren’t going to happen. I know that isn’t fun to hear, but it’s the truth. In many cases...

I think it also comes down to 'how much draw is there for it?' Let us assume that Palladium is not in good shape. I don't know either way if it is or not but lets assume a worse case scenario. Is there enough of a draw for a book focusing on this subset of Heroes Unlimited? The Powers Unlimited boo...

Re: Do you think it,s time for 3nd Edition Heroes Unlimited?

I like the megaversal system. I think it has it's own charm. I wouldn't want it to be replaced by anything else, but I think a Savage Heroes Unlimited would be swell if it was something that would sell. Just, not as a replacement but something like Savage RIFTS. What about "Dimension Books"...

Re: Do you think it,s time for 3nd Edition Heroes Unlimited?

Heroes Unlimiited is a game that should always be expanding and evolving, so while I agree that the concepts should be expanded and improve, those things can be done as new books adding to the existing game. It does not need a new edition to grow and add new concepts. If it did, we would need a new...

Re: Do you think it,s time for 3nd Edition Heroes Unlimited?

On the “only one category for super abilities”, I agree in the sense that we only need one category for Special Training — with subcategories for different kinds. In particular, while I agree that Experiments and Mutants aren't substantially different in the end and differ only in terms of how they...

Re: Do you think it,s time for 3nd Edition Heroes Unlimited?

A huge book makes me salivate, but I can see how that might be prohibitive. The only thing that makes me hesitate is Palladium's tendency to delay release (staring hard at the non existent magic book for BtS). Considering that I would prefer the Rifter (i.e. longer) versions of the Special/Physical ...

Re: Supernatural Strength/Normal Weapons/Invulnerability

It's been a long time since I've gmd a HU game (There was only 1e at the time), but I just didn't allow invulnerability in my games. I think I replaced it with an ability that added a lot of SDC and HP but nobody ever took it.

Just got the Rifter #85 at drivethrurpg. According to "from the desk of KS" they have a new policy of not announcing new books until the manuscript is approved. So, I suppose that this means only that no manuscript has been approved. So, maybe, there is still hope

While a book detailing beyond the wall would be really cool, I'd really like to see the main world fully described first. It's been almost 40 years now.

Re: Differences in Edition?

The one thing I miss about 1e was the hand to hand differences. Each man of arms class had slightly different hth bonuses. I don't remember details, but I liked the idea. If I ever play it again, I think I'm going to bring (something like that) back borrowing heavily from Ninjas & Superspies
