A Fantastic Super-Hero Role-Playing System.......2003-12-18
I have run campagins using several of the other super hero role playing systems out there and none of them come close to this one. I just wanted to add my recommendation for this system. The rules are on the complex side at first but reward the players and gamemaster with a very balanced and fair system. In a genre where it is often difficult to duplicate the myriad of powers a character can have and on top of that balance one character against another this system excells where all the others I have played fail, often miserably. The character generation for Super Hero characters in hands down, far and away the best ever.
Best RPG System Ever Designed.......2000-06-14
Boy was I shocked to find this book out-of-print. One of the easiest systems to ever use, AND it was FAIR! You KNEW your character and villians were evenly matched using this point based system. Not to mention DISADVANTAGES was probably the best addition to a gaming system. It definitly made people think about rounding out their characters more, and made the whole game much more enjoyable. Please, PLEASE, continue to publish this outstanding game!
Very good game........1999-11-15
The above sentence sums it up. Great game. Wonderful multi-genre applicability. I recommend this over any other game on the market.
This is my favorite game engine.......1999-05-18
The best part about the Champions system is that it is truely a multi genre engine completly striping the game universe away from the game mechanics. The result is the best superhero role playing game written, and it can still be used for other genres. Many have tried to follow down the multi-genre path but I believe it is best tread by Champions.
The Best RPG system ever created.......1999-04-26
As a 10 year old dominican veteran in this field, I encourage everyone out there to purchase this book. The rules are complex at first, but if you have a person who has extensive experience in the game then you should have a blast!. The rules are complex, but they are worthy to learn them because these rules allow you to create any character the player really wants, and they force the player to be creative in every situation the GM presents. However, be ready to argue the rules if you want to survive.

Fair value for price.......2002-08-19
I really liked this book, the source material was good, the art was not so good, however, and aside from a truly stunning cover, I was really let down here. However, I found the characters on the whole to be well thought out, and not too "hackneyed".
Decent Champions Resource.......2002-01-04
This supplement has a lot of interesting information and some decent characters; the bits about British culture are particularly useful. There are some downsides, however. First, the writers apparently based this on a magic-free (or magic-lite)campaign, and explain away all of the King Arthur mythos with high-tech, alien technology. This meshes poorly with other supplements and most superhero campaigns; it's a fine decision for a single campaign, but it limits this supplement's usefulness. Second, in an attempt to save space, the authors used condensed stat blocks for many of the characters. It takes a lot of work just to get a character sheet for one of them to introduce in an adventure. The book could have used less emphasis on the cultural information and more space to detail these characters. Still, it's an enjoyable read.

Ten Scenarios for Super-Hero Role Playing.......2001-05-21
I was a comic book fan before the Batman TV show launched the Silver Age, and a Role-playing fan since the original White Box version of Dungeons & Dragons. The Hero System is an excelent role playing system. It allowed one to simulate the comic book genra, among other things it was the first system (as far as I know of) that allowed non-fatal damage, making it possible to knock out a character without killing them.
Challenges for Champions is ten unconnected miminalist scenarios for the Champions Super Hero role playing system. These are good to fill in if a prepared scenario finishes more quickly than anticipated, or scenarios in a running campagine, or as a jump start for the GameMaster's imagination.

A Must have if judge Champions or any Hero Games.......1999-12-12
If you are reading this then more than likely you are a gamer. If you are not a gamer, Listen up, this is the GM screen for the role playing game Champions / or any HERO GAMES system. It it set up for use with 4TH Edition, It will soon be a collectors item since Hero games is getting ready to launch 5TH edition. It also includes extra insert of great gaming sheets and a city combat map. there is also cut out heros and villains to use with this map. Its a great gaming item, with a good price.

Phenomenal.......1998-05-31
Regarded as a classic, exposing our relationship to language as analagous to Copernicus' discovery of planets orbiting the sun. We are as unaware of the sheer importance of communicative skills as goldfish are ignorant of the water in their bowls. Of course, I'm the author's son.

Book Description
Have you ever asked your students "Are you listening?" and felt uneasy that their response didn't distinguish listening from hearing? We expect children to spend fifty percent or more of their school day engaged in listening-comprehension activities, yet despite today's emphasis on skills-building in the language arts, most literacy curricula ignore the teaching of this crucial skill. Thanks to Listen Hear!, that's about to change.
Michael Opitz and Matthew Zbaracki recognize that teachers have their hands full with reading and writing standards; that's why they've designed Listen Hear! as a handy, friendly resource full of fresh teaching strategies that help you fold multidimensional listening comprehension instruction snugly into your existing reading and read-aloud lessons-without sacrificing room in your crowded curriculum.
Listen Hear! gives you everything you need to start teaching listening tomorrow:
- the research and rationale for teaching it
- reproducible forms
- charts that show you at a glance which skills each strategy enhances
- ists of contemporary children's literature to use in conjunction with the strategies
