Champions: New Millennium

Champions: New Millennium is a 1997 role-playing game supplement published by Hero Games and R. Talsorian Games for Champions.

Contents

Champions: New Millennium was a new edition of Champions using the Fuzion system.[1]

Publication history

Shannon Appelcline explained that "Hero did embrace Fuzion, at least temporarily. They quickly released Champions: The New Millennium (1997), the fifth edition of their core Champions rulebook. However, it was so totally revamped that not only was there a fan revolt, but today New Millennium is largely ignored when counting Champions game editions."[2]:139 Appelcline continued by saying that "Hero Games got just a single book out during their Cybergames year: a new second edition of Champions: New Millennium (2000), now dual-statted for Fuzion and the Hero System — which had been Hero's plans for all their new products, following their departure from R. Talsorian."[2]:142

Reception

The reviewer from Pyramid #28 (Nov./Dec., 1997) stated that "I think it's very reassuring that when the original creators of the classic Champions superhero roleplaying game decided to put out a new edition, they went the full nine. Champions: New Millennium is unlike any previous edition of Champions, with a radically changed gaming universe and brand new system."[1]
