At the end of last summer, I was running the HERO System (5th Edition, Revised) for a superhero game. I had some problems with a few things, and decided to tackle the issue head-on. It got complicated, but the end result was In Character: A Critical and Unauthorized Look at Disadvantages For Super-Powered HERO System Play. The title is pretty self-explanatory. I was originally going to release it as a booklet and charge a couple bucks to cover costs, but... life happened, it got put on the back burner... and now, with a 6th edition announced, and my no longer actively using the system, an actual release of this thing seems silly.

So here it is as a pdf (please forgive the crude layout and lack of pdf bells and whistles; the pdf was formatted in about 30 minutes... :p). I hope you find it interesting, and I hope they get it right for the 6th Edition.
