My group and I loved DC Heroes, even though we acknowledged its flaws outright.<br /><br />We had not yet discovered Champions when DC Heroes entered the scene and when we finally did see it no one bothered looking at it. Art in a Superhero game mattered ALOT to us in those days, comic book fanatics that we were. You've seen the original Champions cover, right? Yeah, this had a cover by George Perez. George Perez!!! Interior art by Perez, Garcia-Lopez and many other favorites of ours at the time.<br /><br />MSH was viewed as too silly by our group. The basic game really turned us off. Back then we saw it as a game for kids and it didn't interest us. Also, many of us were more DC Fans than Marvel Fans at that point.<br /><br />Unless forced to play D&D, I was already long past playing it on a regular basis. As I was the primary go-to GM for both my School group and my Summer Camp group, I didn't run D&D except one campaign of my personal hack/homebrew. Our standard games of choice were Star Trek, Star Wars (homebrew mix of Traveller and Space Opera) and Villains & Vigilantes. Our other favorite pastime was trying new games.<br /><br />The timing on DC Heroes was perfect...Superhero game with great art, sharp graphics, lots of cool pieces in an awesome box, new rules we hadn't tried yet...SOLD.<br /><br />I miss our Justice League Earth campaign. So freaking fun. One day I'll have to resurrect it somehow for DC Adventures/M&M 3E.
