		His old science teacher, Justin Tolman, recreated the sketch that his student had drawn in chalk back in 1922, proving that Farnsworth had come up with the idea before RCA.

	RPGnet: Review of Star Hero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Most of these characters, despite being built for the Hero Games in-house setting, are usable in most sci-fi worlds, and make good examples of how to put the material from the book into practice.
		Most of the time I’m able to forgive Hero Games their simple formatting because their material is of such excellent quality that I can forgo my need for “teh pretti.” However, there are times when the simple layout of Star Hero does make it more difficult to use in game, and that I cannot forgive.
		A brick-hithouse that shows its authors love and understanding of the genre, Star Hero is the kind of work that will set the standard by which all future Hero genrebooks will be judged.

	Real Science - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
		This is where the science breaks down, and Ward and Brownlee (and probably Gonzalez) engage in speculation more worthy of philosophy than science.
		There is some good science in this book, there is also too much sloppy science and wild speculation, and they are not always labeled as such.
		While I have to agree with you that some of the science in Rare Earth is highly speculative and untested, I think that any support it gives creationism can only be described as incidental, tangential, or the result of poor reasoning by confused creationists.

		The hero is EPA, a burly federal bureaucracy armed with the considerable powers of the CERCLA or Superfund statute.
		The goal of our citizen-scientist assault on the human health science EPA offered was not particularly radical: we wanted a state-of-the-art epidemiological survey to be done to confirm or disconfirm the predictions or estimates generated by EPA’s computer simulation model.
		Mere philosophy of science appears to be pretty far down the ladder of EPA’s concerns — doubtless one of the byproducts of that agency’s sense of heroic purpose.
