[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3943636, member: 53"] I don't consider that a change. One of the earlier editions had a "generic" rule book (might have been fourth edition, but the only edition change I felt significant was from 1st to 2nd) and [I]Champions[/I] was a different release. Actually, technically I own the Hero System 5th edition book. I wasn't buying anything from Hero by the time the [I]Champions[/I] book was released. A shame, too, since Aaron Allston was responsible for 3 of the best RPG products I ever owned ([I]Justice, Inc/[/I], [I]Lands of Mystery[/I] & [I]Strike Force[/I]). BTW, if you want to stretch definitions, the changes in "Glorantha" games was even more significant than D&D. First you had 3 editions of [I]Runequest[/I] with the 3rd edition had some significant changes (as did 4th, but only playtester copies exist). Then because the RQ game disappeared in legal limbo you had [I]Hero Wars[/I]/[I]Heroquest[/I], a totally different system with very few systemic ties to RQ. You also had a commonly played unofficial "Pendragon Pass" system that used the rules from Stafford's [I]Pendragon[/I]. [/QUOTE]
