I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so I hope it's all right if I put this here for now.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys (and/or gals) out there have played the DC Universe rpg from West End Games?
I've been looking up and down the internet forever for the books I'm missing, but to no avail.
I did happen to find a very old post from user Dr Archeville about the rpg in question, and even sent him a PM about it. However, he hasn't been on this board since 2013 (according to the activity logs), so I don't know if or when he will see my message.

If any of you can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for pdf scans of the following specific books:
- Gotham City Sourcebook
- JSA Sourcebook
- DEO Agent's Manual

Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer in return for your troubles (broke as hell). The most I can probably do in return is help you find pdfs or rpgs you may be interested in.
Hope to hear back from anybody about this matter soon.

That seems to link directly to a specific book.

Scroll down when you get to that page. More links at the bottom.

Thanks a lot for the link Skycutter, but I couldn't find the specific books I was looking for.
I guess this quest continues...

I download Watchmen and a Judge Dredd game. Whoo hoo

Thanks Cutter

The old Mayfair DC Heroes game was another great game. I'm not knocking anyone that likes to convert DC characters to FASERIP but, personally, I've never felt the Marvel rules handled that very well. If you want to play out super battles between two characters capable of karate-chopping the moon in half, you really can't beat DC Heroes!

Didn't the DC rpg have a sort of alignment for heroes that they went by?

5 different types I think. Kinda liked that idea of a role playing guide for a particular heroes philosophy.

Not that is needed. I wonder how well some marvel heroes would get sorted into those " alignments " ?

Quote
Wikipedia, Alignment (RPGs)
DC Heroes from Mayfair Games (now known as MEGS, Mayfair Exponential Game System) used the characteristic "Motivation" to describe a character's ethical behavior. They were selected from a list divided into "heroic" (upholding the good, responsibility of power, seeking justice, thrill of adventure, and unwanted power) and "villainous" (mercenary, thrill seeker, psychopath, power lust, and nihilist). In the MEGS licensed game Blood of Heroes by Pulsar Games, a set of "anti-heroic" variations on some of the heroic and villainous motivations were presented, allowing characters to exist in moral and ethical gray areas.

To enforce the motivations, players are awarded or deducted character points, which have various uses, depending on their actions. For instance, good characters are awarded points for good and heroic behaviour while evil behaviour can cost them.

Hero and Villain alignment... anyone know what the Blood of Heroes "anti-heroic" variations were?

The "Anti-Heroic" Motivations are: Mercenary, Power Lust, Responsibility of Power, Seeking Justice, Thrill of Adventure, and Unwanted Power.

Mercenary - The character commits crimes simply for money; is not a cold-blooded killer. They will kill if they feel they have no choice. They may still have a bit of a conscience, and even do a good deed or two if it's not out of the way. They will break the law, but are not murder-spree-happy madmen.

Power Lust - Addicted to power and will do almost anything to get it. Anti-heroes with Power Lust will do a lot of questionable things, but generally stop short of outright killing to achieve their goals.

Responsibility of Power - Anti-Heroes with this Motivation feel they should be using their powers to help people, but at the same time feel they are above the law, or should not be restricted by them.

Seeking Justice - An Anti-Hero that seeks justice will do whatever it takes to destroy evil, has no qualms about breaking the law and killing evil-doers.

Thrill of Adventure - Adrenaline junkies who enjoy exciting and dangerous situations; they don't go out looking to kill people, but sometimes just don't care if innocents get hurt because of their actions.

Unwanted Power - Hates the power that he has, but suffers from some complication due to having them in the first place (like a vampire who needs blood to survive). May not always be in control of his/her actions. The power is basically a curse to them.
