[/quote'] I agree with this very much. Calling it Sex-ee or something similar is just sophomoric. In writing, I'd probably uses something like 6e or 6e1 and 6e2 as appropriate. HERO works too. In speech, probably "Six-ee" or "one" and "two." Or again, "the HERO books." And less clique-ish This, too. "6e" is probably much more accessible to newcomers.

Hugh Neilson Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name and here I was throwing my vote behind PEBBLES (No, I don't know what it stands for... Pretty Exciting Blue Book Latest Edition, Sixth?) Sadly, I have Rep'd Bloodstone too recently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Hiemforth Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name If we must have a silly nickname (in addition to the functional 6E/6E1/6E2), I vote for "DBB". (Double Blue Books) Hearkens back to the BBB nickname for Champions 4th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name I find it humorous that someone, with his first three posts, is concerned about how to reference rule books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealfoxbat Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name It was meant to be humorous... Why else would I suggest a name like SHRED? "Hey, man...

Chris Goodwin Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name I think 6E1 should be called Smith. 6E2 should be called Wesson. (rep to the first to get the geek in-joke reference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealfoxbat Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name Well, it's actually TWO volumes. The Volume 1 is officially abbreviated "6E1," which can be pronounced "Sexy One." Volume 2 is "6E2", or "Sexy Two," or "I'm Too Sexy." JG I'm afraid you can't call them Sexy One and Sexy Two... There's no such thing as Comeliness anymore... Sorry dude... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilFleischmann Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name Seriously, I would have preferred something more descriptive than "1" and "2". I'm thinking of calling them 6eChar, and 6eCom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilFleischmann Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Re: 6E Needs A Name Any nickname that sticks will have to come "organically". By forcing the issue, you insure that no HERO book will ever have a nickname again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
