Welcome to the boards!

I would recommend Powers Unlimited 1 & 2 for your next purchases.

Get PU 1 and 2 they rocketh with much gusto

also pick up mystic china, ninjas and super spys, Nightbane between the shadows,
and systems failure

the ninjas and super spy books give you a excellent marshal art feel and cool cybernetics

systems failure has great villans and sweet organatech armor that can be useds

nightbane between the shadows is a great psy book astral lords make the best villans.

Ditto that as well. Well, at least PU1 (I haven't purchased PU2). You already have VU, which is one I usually recommend even though it was originally designed for the old Revised version (blue cover).

On a related note, I'd recommend checking out the "On The Subject Of Revised To 2nd Ed Conversions" thread here in this forum. Cardiac's done a great job of updating the VU characters to 2nd ed versions.

Oh, and btw... welcome aboard dude! :ok:

Should I mention again that the Casting gun is worth the purchase of PU2 or have I done that to death? :lol: :P :lol: :shock:

Get Powers Unlimited 1 and 2 - If you love Heroes Unlimited - you MUST buy them!!

And since you have VU which is 1st ed., check out my thread at viewtopic.php?t=16344 where I am giving the characters from that book the 2nd ed treatment.

Other Palladium books that can add to the experience (if you have the $$$ - however they are all purely optional "plug-ins"):

Ninjas and Superspies - lots of martial arts goodness to spice up any heroes game.

After the Bomb (Revised): Expands on the Mutant Animal rules in HU.

Rifts - Book of Magic: You will have to change the MDC to SDC, but it is a great resource for ANY spellcasting character in Heroes U.

The Compendium of Contemporary Weapons - not sure if Palladium still prints this but let me sum it up for you; LOTS of guns - a bit outdated though.

Nightbane - Through the Glass Darkly: Good rules on creating magic spells, as well as "living magic" and so forth.

Nightbane - Between the Shadows: Details the Astral Plane and the Dream Stream.

Scraypers - Sort of a "Dimension Book" for Rifts/HU. Sucks as a Rifts setting, but can be enjoyable for a HU setting.

..I would just like to say that yahoo sucks for gaming. The pop up ads are infuriating. Take your game to one of the great game oriented sites:

http://rpol.net/rpol/rpol-main.cgi

http://www.editors-wastebasket.org/

http://www.playbyweb.com/

..these are infinately better suited for play by post, and give the GM a great latitude of controls.
