Well, I bought the game, printed it out and set to work.
I put together a JSA themed one-shot for a get together this last weekend. Everyone had a great time. Having a system that is very 'OD&D-like' simplified things, everyone there was familiar with the system, even guys who haven't gamed much recently.
Scott, overall I really like the game, and I appreciate all the work you've put into it(special thanks for all the write-ups in supp IV). That said, I'd love to see a two volume set in print. Volume I as a collection of the three main books, and Volume II as a collection of the supplements. I'd spend some bucks on that. Anyway, thanks for writing all that and making it available. My friends loved it and I'm looking forward to running it again (and hopefully I'll find somebody who wants to run it so I can play)

How have six days passed and I'm just noticing this now?
Thank you, Archersix! No plans for the giant compilations as you describe them, as interesting as those suggestions are. Instead, I already have Books I and II available as POD through Amazon CreateSpace, with Book III coming. The supplements will remain ebooks, because my next project will be a 2nd edition of H&H. It will incorporate some of the material from the supplements, plus new stuff based on the research that's gone into my supplemental blog.
More feedback! Which JSA Heroes got played, and how did you stat them?

Let's see,
Dr. Fate, 9th M/U (I removed the levels of super hero you gave him in your write up)
Hourman 8th Superhero
Green Lantern 8th Superhero
Hawkman Scientist/Fighter per the Four Color Glasses blog
Bat-Man as written in the supplement
Atom 7th Fighter
Flash as in the supplement
Starman 2nd Scientist/5 Fighter (in hindsight should've done scientist/superhero, but this worked)
I also wrote up Dr. Midnite and Sandman but sadly neither was picked.
The main Villain was a time travelling Vandal Savage(10th Fighter) with a bunch of 13th century Mongolian warriors and the big robot with the freeze ray(Hourman got frozen) for muscle. He was working with Per Degaton and the Wizard. They stayed in the background, if this wasn't a one-shot, they'd be encountered soon.
We all had a lot of fun, and now I'll be anxiously awaiting the 2nd edition!

Ok. So I'm finally getting around to putting up a review of sorts of the new 2nd Edition or 'Basic' version of Hideouts & Hoodlums.
I'm prepping for another one shot game. This time it will be Timely characters. A post war All-Winner's Squad bunch against the communist Red Skull and assorted other bad guys.
I've got the print version of the book in my grubby little paws (and thanks Scottenkainen for making POD available for Luddites like myself who prefer dead tree versions of games). He did a good job of cleaning up the presentation and putting everything into one book. The three core classes of Fighter, Superhero and Magic User are here, along with the indispensable Mystety Man.It would be easy enough to add others like the Cowboy, Aviator, or Speedster from the original game if you require them. There are some added features like a cool and simple skill system. It's a Basic version as only the first 6 character levels are included, and the first three levels of spells and powers.
Scott has done a good job putting this together into a cohesive single volume. Hopefully the 'Advanced' version will follow soon!
I'm looking forward to running this again. More later......
(this will get more traction if I make a new thread ;-) )

When are you going to make a complete 1st edition bundle? I have to say the few games we played of H&H many years ago are still remembered as very fun experiences!

Good to hear from you again. You were the first Captain Liberty, right?

I hate Discord with a burning passion. But if someone else wanted to run it there, good luck to them!

Where's that at? (unless it's private) "DC-ish" means that you make a H&H hero inspired by, but not necessarily close, to a DC character from 1940. My only players are playing: Hour-Man, actually the android Hourman from the 2000s, stranded in 1940 and pretending to be Rex Tyler. and Captain Hawkman, actually the aviator hero Captain Desmo, who inherited the Hawkman wings when Hawkman died. |
