VU2 and Rifter

Unread post by Reagren Wright »

I was glancing through Rifter 27 when I noticed the list of
all the current books for Heroes Unlimited (PU 1 and 2, CS,
AU and Galaxy Guide, Mutant Underground, etc.
Suddenly :shock: I spotted something saying Villian Unlimited
2nd edition. It said late August or early September.
I am to assume this is a go or just another tease that we are
sometimes forced to endure :( If this is a go, hey Cardiac I'd
still like to see your completed list, yours version of the bad guys
might still be better.

I wonder though... what if this VU2 isn't just an updated version of the original, but also includes a flock of new characters sporting powers/categories from the Powers Unlimited books?

They started advertising it back in the Fall 2003 catalog.

From the description it sounds much like the original Villains Unlimited, with some minor changes:

Palladium's Fall 2003 Catalog wrote:Villains Unlimited, Second Edition
Coming 2004

An updated version for this fan favorite is scheduled of a Spring or Summer 2004 release. Page after page of unique and interesting villains, anti-heroes, and secret organizations.

No knock-off, "generic" characters in this book! Each and every character is distinct and different, with his own origin, history, personality, powers, and point of view. Homicidal maniacs, would-be world conquerors, speed demons, supernatural monsters, superhuman mutants, aliens, cyborgs, robots, wizards, and much more. All major villains are illustrated by Kevin Long, Kevin Siembieda and/or Mike Gustovich. Plus adventures and adventure ideas.


  • Over 80 villains and a dozen heroes/anti-heroes.
  • Secret villainous organizations like the Fabricators and Dark Tribunal; eight in all.
  • How to design your own super organizations.
  • S.C.R.E.T.: Superbeing Control, Retrieval, and Elimination Teams -- government agencies developed to counter the threat of "super humans."
  • New super abilities and material replaces the old powers.
  • New robots, weapons, gimmicks, equipment and more.
  • Writing and Art by Long & Siembieda.
  • $21.95 -- 224 pages, Cat. No. 501 -- ISBN not yet assigned.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.

that was a low blow taffy
but a true one

I wonder what the new powers will be
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...
In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[
