If you're a DBZ fan, it's probably a worthwhile purchase, but if you're only after the system, you can find it free (and legal!) <a href="http://www.talsorian.com/software/fuzion.pdf" target="_blank">here.</a>  R. Talsorian Games is in a pretty limbo-esque state, but that's probably due to Mike Pondsmith not having the time with other commitments as much as anything.  As for Hero . . . yes and no. As Steve Long explains it in 6E2:  "DOJ" included Steve Long, Darren Watts, and other folks who've been keeping the HERO System alive for about a decade. Unfortunately, the economic downturn, the slump in the industry, and the fact that HERO is a niche product have required further recent downsizing, and the future is iffy. On the other hand, Hero Games just met 150% of their target for their first Kickstarter, so don't count them out just yet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
