Wyld Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi all, I was hoping to get some information about all available published adventures for Champions (HERO System 5th Edition). Most HERO System books seem to concentrate more on character write-ups, backgrounds, history, and game rules rather than complete adventures that cover everything a GM may need (maps, detailed scenarios, plots). However, I have managed to find a few here and there. "Champions Battlegrounds" has a few. "Post-Apocalyptic Hero" has one (mostly). I just found out about "Foxbat For President" made by another company. Can anyone point me to others? Thanks, Sir Grail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Derek Hiemforth's complete list of Hero product: http://rhinobunny.com/derek/hero/herogameslist.html Thanks! Though it isn't quite complete. "Foxbat For President" was not listed under Blackwyrm. Not that I'm complaining, just pointing it out. I am rather surprised though that most of the Champions adventures are for previous editions. Anyone know of any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: What published adventures are there for Champions? I am rather surprised though that most of the Champions adventures are for previous editions. Hero Games management has assured us that adventures consistently sell significantly less than other types of books, and aren't profitable enough to invest a lot of resources publishing. Now if you'd be interested in fan-created adventures freely available on the Internet, I suggest looking up this thread: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/36759-Free-online-Champs-adventures?

So for now, it's more like the "Almost Complete List of HERO System Books." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right off the bat, adventure books are only aimed at a sub-set of the customer base (GMs). And then within that, only some GMs are likely to use published adventures. So...

Darren Watts Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: What published adventures are there for Champions? Everything said so far in this thread is true. However, we are discussing the possibility of expanding the HPA line to include more than pulp stuff in the future, and a few supers stories might eventually make their way into the lineup... dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: What published adventures are there for Champions? How did the anthology of HPA's do? Enough to warrent (assuming that enough Champions HPA's came out) that we could see one of champions adventures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough to warrent (assuming that enough Champions HPA's came out) that we could see one of champions adventures? Probably not, though obviously supers sells better than pulp in general. Ask us again in a couple of years if we actually have enough of them. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: What published adventures are there for Champions? I took a quick inventory of all the published adventure "modules" currently for sale in the Hero Games website's online store (unless otherwise specified, all these are for Fifth Edition HERO): Champions Battlegrounds (multi-adventure book), Demons Rule, Dystopia (both for Fourth Edition), Foxbat for President, Pyramid in the Sky (multi-adventure book for Fourth Edition), Reality Storm, Road Kill (Fourth Edition), Shades of Black, Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth, War of Worldcraft (last one for Sixth Edition). This website also used to host a few free adventures for Champions and Fantasy Hero. They're no longer here, but you can still download them from this archived webpage: http://web.archive.org/web/20070331145441/www.herogames.com/FreeStuff/mods.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbywolfe Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 YesSo what exactly are you looking for? Someone to write up an adventure specifically for you? What do you want that isn't in the large list of official, published adventures that are mostly (all?) still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theros Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I would like to get some sort of list from adventures that are still available. I know that there are many books that have plot hooks, but more likely I would like to have something where are maps, NPCs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 The following is a list of titles of published Champions adventures currently available from the Hero Games website Online Store. All of these are complete adventures, with NPCs, and most include maps. They're a mixture of Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Edition HERO System: Champions Battlegrounds, The Crossroad Blues, Dystopia, Foxbat for President, Imaginary Friends, King of the Mountain, Pretty Hate Machines, Reality Storm: When Worlds Collide, Road Kill, The Sands of Time, Shades of Black, Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth, Unkindness, War Of Worldcraft. If all the information you want about any particular adventure isn't in its online description, feel free to post a followup inquiry. In addition, a number of issues of Hero Games's sadly-discontinued electronic magazine, Digital Hero, also include short but complete Champions adventures for Fifth Edition, with maps and NPCs. Specifically, issues 1, 7, 9, 10, 12, 17, 24, 27, 29, 32, 38, 39, 40. Many of them are designed as introductory adventures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
