[QUOTE="Arani Korden, post: 1916586, member: 271"] The Annual has the current errata printed in the back. as for other supplements, speaking only about the ones I own: Freedom City is an unbelieveably good setting book, with a strong reconstructionist vibe. many of the characters are homages to iconic characters, especially leaning toward the DC side of things. It is a bit heavy on the NPC hero side for some people, with three hero teams included in the book. Foes of Freedom is a supplement to the above, featuring additional villains. (With one hero hidden in a sidebar.) The characters are slightly darker than the ones in Freedom City, but don't quite appeal to me as much. That's entirely subjective, though. The stat blocks are more carefully put together, listing point totals and the like. EDIT - It also includes a new power and a few feats, one of which (Immortal Experience) is very sueful for a number of character concepts. Crooks is another villain book, this time set in Super Unicorn's Meta-4 setting, which has a post-modern vibe, and has most often been compared to Wildstorm comics. Some very cool characters (Miss Martian being my favorite) and a very nice selection of mook stats. Many of the stat blocks have problems, though - often point costs are calculated wrong, and (more seriously) several characters violate stacking limits. EDIT - also includes the Variable Effect power, new weaknesses, and several feats, many of which have a villianous flair. And rules for trials. The Algernon Files is another character book, this one featuring heroes and villains. The opening character is a Doc Savage homage, but overall the book has an 80's Marvel feel for me, mixed with an odd Champions vibe. There are a lot of heroes here, but two of the teams (the Government team and the Corporate team) are led by arrogant jerks and would make for great rivals. EDIT - Includes a new power, a few extras, and several very good feats, including Vehicle, which makes a Batman under PL 20 a real possibility. Omlevex is a setting book explicitly placed in the Silver Age, and set in a fictional chain of islands off the east coast of the US. It is Kirby-tastic, very much in the old-school Marvel mode (complete with Galactus and Silver Surfer homages), and covers more territory than Freedom City with a much lower hero density. EDIT - a couple of new weaknesses, but new rules are not the focus of the book. And I would recommend any of the above, it just depends on what you're looking for. [/QUOTE]
