Well... for the small stuff, yeah - a lot of the electronic editions are $2.99 or $7.99 - but for the set (in the 3rd edition) Bob listed off for me minus Shapeshifters, as PDFs from e23, it's nearly $100. I paid $40 for my Big Blue Book a decade ago, and copies in "very good condition (no software)" are still offered for $40 today. There's even a fair amount of Champs 4th activity online if you look for it, and most agree that there were few changes from 4th to 5th except in ... regeneration and one other thing I can't remember, having just glanced across it while looking for a char gen assistant a couple hours ago - which were apparently simpler in 4th anyway. But again, no one I talk to at the FLGS wants to play it.
- CD, had a fun C4th character one time, he was a musician - not the standard rock singer or guitarist, a chamber orchestra oboe player - who had a lightly armored, brown and cream winged flying suit with an irridescent green helmet mounting a sonic blaster. He called himself Peter Duck for a heroic ID, after the duck character "voiced" by an oboe in Peter and the Wolf. I hadn't thoguht of him in a while, I must try recreating him, in C4th and SAS/TriStat dX at a minimum, GURPS if I manage to get copies, and maybe MZ+ to try comparing the C4th version via Fuzion port.
