Kramer: "But Jerry! I'm going to need the extra defense! Eurostar's *loaded* with killing attacks!"

Jerry: "Maybe you should have thought about that before you brought it back last time smelling like fish. Do you know how hard it is to air out powered armor?"

Kramer: "Is it my fault Atlanteans have bad hygiene? Jerry, please, I'm begging you...think of the stun multiples!"

Jerry: "Look. If you can manage to scrounge up 5pts, I'll make an extra you can use. That's the best I can do."

George: "What are you looking at me for? If I had an extra 5pts, you think I'd still have *this* Comeliness?"

Pregnancy Hero.

:D

[Susano]

Maid HERO













What?

[Cancer]

Hmm. I was gonna say Sewage Treatment Plant HERO, but I'm just about certain there's modules out there that have scenes amidst the leachase tanks. And if there's not, there should be.

VEGGIE-HERO


like Veggie-Tales, but with Code versus Killing instead.

Countered with Mr. T HERO!

[proditor]

Countered with Mr. T HERO!And if you tried to combine them into Chuck Norris & Mr. T HERO, well they'd have to rename the HERO Games offices as "The point where too much awesomeness almost destroyed the world". ;)

[Egyptoid]

Discussion Hero

[Peregrine]

Mexican Pro Wrestling Hero.

Whoops, too late...

[Matt Frisbee]

Genres to avoid --

Logan's Run Hero (especially if your character happens to be 29 or so)

Soilent Green Hero (Still people after all these years!)

Silent Running Hero (If Bruce Dern doesn't kill you, he's just going to blow up the Valley Forge anyway...)

Failsafe Hero (Mutually Assured Destruction, anyone?)

Chinese Dramatic Cinema Hero (Everybody has to die at the end of each story arc for some reason or another...)

On The Beach Hero (What's the point of it all, humanity is just waiting to die, after all...)

Saw Hero (High EGO is an absolute must for characters while Regeneration powers are most certainly not allowed, but things are going to get messy...)

Goth Rave Hero (Yeah, it's all pretty pointless -- especially the bit with the makeup. Clothes are pretty cool, though.)

Roman Galley Slave Hero (That drum really gets annoying after a while...)

Roto-Rooter Hero (Things are going to get sh---- Well, you know.)

Matt "Still-bored-at-work" Frisbee

[Susano]

Chinese Dramatic Cinema Hero (Everybody has to die at the end of each story arc for some reason or another...)


Yeah, but if you're lucky, you get to play Chow Yun-Fat.... :D

I' d definitely avoid:


Job Hero ( I do that every day)
Husband Hero ( same as above)
Soap Opera Hero (After everyone has "bedded" every relatives and friends around the story get a little boring....)

I'm quite sure that I could come up with something else....
Ciao

[John Desmarais]

Hero and the Bandit (trucks & cars)

You know, with the right players, this could actually be fun.

[tkdguy]

Discussion Hero
Isn't that the NGD? ;)

Whose HERO is it anyway?

Kink Hero (supplement to XXX Hero)

Stand Up Comic Hero

The Ultimate Pest

[Susano]

XXX Hero (No more needs to be said... Well, it has nothing to do with Vin Diesel or the State of the Union.)

Yeah, wouldn't the latter be xXx HERO?

I Need a HERO: The Bonnie Tyler Campaign

Olympics HERO

Curling HERO (sub-genre)

[Lemurion]

Zero Hero

[Lucius]

Chick Tract (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp) HERO

You mean, like Dogs in the Vineyard?

Lucius Alexander

Only with more violence, suggests the palindromedary

[Lucius]

It might look something like this. (http://childrensbooksonline.org/Robber_Kitten/pages/15_Robber_Kitten.htm)

I've taken courses in children's literature, I've read The Cunning Little Vixen (shocking story that it was) and still this astonished me.

"I don't wish to be cruel, you know, although I'm determined to kill and rob them all."

Lucius Alexander

The palindromedary rather likes the songs...
Soon after that it met a cat
“Now give to me your purse
Or I’ll shoot you through,
And stab you too,
And kill you, which is worse!
Worse, worse, worse,
And kill you, which is worse!

[Robert Harrison]

Grave of the Fireflies HERO (comes with a box of Kleenex)

[BobGreenwade]

Broadway Hero
Geisha Hero (another Porn Hero subgenre supplement)
Manufacturing Hero
Fly-Fishing Hero

[AdamLeisemann]

Geisha Hero (another Porn Hero subgenre supplement)

Excuse me for being a tad anal here, but that would actually be Baishun Hero. Geisha were entertainers, not prostitutes. Baishun were the prostitutes working at "Reed Houses" that were always run by a woman who was once a Baishun herself (Sorry. I've been reading Sengoku.)

[Susano]

Chuck Norris & Mr. T ... together ... "The point where too much awesomeness almost destroyed the world". ;)

DOCTORAL HERO (buy a High PRE to defend that dissertation)

Litterbox Hero
Politically Correct Hero (remember characters don't have disadvantages, they just might be "differently advantaged").

Katamari Hero (all you do is roll-up huge balls of junk and turn them into stars. Absolutely not for those with Codes against Killing.)

[AdamLeisemann]

Typo Hero (75 Pints base, 75 pints disadvantages)

[BobGreenwade]

Typo Hero (75 Pints base, 75 pints disadvantages)Wouldn't that be 75 ponits?

[Susano]

Typo Hero (75 Pints base, 75 pints disadvantages)

75 pints would be a disadvantage, it would be lethal!!! :drink:

[AdamLeisemann]

My brother spotted the Pint Typo in a Champions thread. A message concerning Wasp having "45 pints" in mystery disadvantages. Might fit for...

Drunk Hero (Let'sh go, Championsh!)

[Egyptoid]

Katamari Hero (all you do is roll-up huge balls of junk and turn them into stars. Absolutely not for those with Codes against Killing.)

dude we tried and tried to model the Katamari

HALL MONITOR HERO

Does it cost END to Push your PRE? Can you Push your PRE? Or should we just slap "Costs END" and "Costs Increased END" on this "power"?

And why are we discussing this?

Navy Hero.

Not the SEALs, just normal ship-board blueshirts.
Actually, a Navy supplement to War Hero could be done.... it'd have to include the SEALs, though.

Bob: "As a damage control team investigator, I'm waiting for something to hit the ship."
I've actually RP'd that function on ship, albeit on a starship in a Star Hero game. We only barely got off the planet we started on before the GM had to put the campaign on hold, though.

Great, now I need bleach for my retina, optic nerves, and if I act quickly enough, short term memory (if not, long term gets a cleansing too). The worst part is I'm giggling too much for precision application.

[Super Squirrel]

Senate of Rome (or other political intrigue) Hero.
Political Intrique is actually something I could see done in the Hero system.

:bmk:Reality TV HERO
I actually ran a Play by Post game that was a Killing Game Show. I never got to finish it however.

[Curufea]

Political Intrique is actually something I could see done in the Hero system.

I've always wanted to do a Roman Senate game - but I'd use systemless or my own rules for it. I can't see how using the Hero system for it would be any good.

Possibly if you redefine what everything represents, or create social equivalents and add-ons.

Hmmm

Oration used similar to an Ego attack.
Influence in the senate as stun
Respect/honour as body
Laws and works as defences, or possibly faction support and clients as well..

Nah, still use my own system.

Sounds like a cool game. "Fictional" reality TV is OK. It's the "real" reality TV that stinks like @$$.

I can't see how using the Hero system for it would be any good.It would have to be heavily Skill-based (not "Powers as skills" in the way your post illustrated). Hopefully when The Ultimate Skill comes out Steve will include some notes on running games that are entirely Skill-based, such as those driven completely by intrigue or investigation.

It is actually doable. I have run a nonmagical fantasy campaign that had no powers. The players had lots of skill points, though.

I think the word you're looking for is yaori.

[ghost-angel]

I think the word you're looking for is yaori.
That's "Yaoi" and it's different from Yuri.

Yaoi - guy/guy
Yuri - girl/girl

both have an intended female audience.

[AliceTheOwl]

Yuri's target audience is women? Next thing I know, you'll be telling me it's women who ogle the pics of scantily-clad women snuggled up together.

The stories focus less on sexuality and more on romance... in fact many don't even get into sex. If you're looking for girl/girl sex get a prono rag, if you're looking for girl/girl romance... Yuri is a good source.

Yuricon (http://www.yuricon.org/) is run by a woman (I've had dinner with her a few times as some Cons, cool person). The primary target audience in the US is lesbians, that doesn't mean guys don't like it though. Or at least that's the primary buyer of Yuri.

[Curufea]

That is interesting - I understand that Japanese has gendered language and different words are used depending on the sex on the speaker and/or subject.
Are Yuri and Yaori the female versions of those words?

Excuse me for being anal (no laughing...) as I describe the four forms of Japanese slash:

Yaoi: Male/male, greater emphasis on sex.

Shounen-Ai/Boys Love: Male/male, greater emphasis on the relationship,

Yuri (American definition): Female/female, emphasis on sex.

Shoujo-Ai (American term): Female/female, emphasis on relationship.

Yuri (Japanese definition): Either of the above female/female terms.

Ending anality (again, don't laugh)

[Zeropoint]

Exactly how hazardous to one's health would it be to ask a Japanese woman named Yuri about the "other" meaning of her name?

Does the answer change if it's the Yuri that works for the WWWA?

YES! That's it all in a nutshell.
Though I hadn't realized America had sperated Yuri and Shoujo-Ai that much.. but then I don't read any of the above.

and to address "Yaori" ... no "r" it's YAOI. I don't beleive Yaori is even a word in Japanese.

[AliceTheOwl]

Depends on the spelling and pronunciation. It's doubtful that a woman's name would be spelled with the same kanji as the term. And slight differences in tone can change the meaning of words.

Actually, the real meaning of "Yuri" is lilly. The term Yuri gained its lesbian meaning thanks to a writer who used the rose to symbolise male homosexuality and a lilly to symbolize lesbianism. The reason Yaoi is used for the men with a sexual emphasis is that it comes from an acronym of "yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi, meaning "no climax, no punch line, no meaning." (Wikipedia)

Below are a few links to fully explain it all:

Chinese has the tonal changes. Japanese doesn't... Yuri in reference to a name and Yuri in reference to the Mange style would be pronounced exactly the same.

Japanse has only 108 Sounds to the language. Americans have trouble as they try and add sounds in, because English has literally hundreds of sounds. Chinese on the other hand is a Tonal Language and the Tone of the word can change meaning. Chinese is not for the tone deaf or the monotone speakers, the tone deaf could probably effect a perfect Tokyo Accent which is pretty flat emphasis wise.

In Japanese it's the context of the sentence that determines everything - in English you have lots of phrases without context or with implied context. In Japanese you need a full sentence to give context to the words in question.

Besides, in Japanese you would probably be calling someone by their family name and not Yuri. Only the closest of close friends would use Yuri, and then mostly in private conversations.

That's the cultural rift coming in. You would never be introduced to a Japanese person with their first name. You may not even learn their first name until a second meeting. That goes doubly for the gaijin.

"Never" is too strong a word. When I went to Japan on business, most (all?) of my Japanese co-workers were introduced to me by their first names, although I still don't know the customer's first name.

A friend worked for a consulting firm that was very rigid in its badge naming scheme. The badge was always:

Since my friend had no middle name, he was issued a middle initial of "N" for "No Middle Name" -- like I said, rigid. There was another employee there named [roughly] James Phillip Enis.

They relaxed the naming rule.

For some reason, the monsters live in underground dwellings with strange architecture, apparently living off dust until they get their hands on the player characters.

Fortunately, D20 has options for experience other than just loot and kill. Skill rolls, dealing with people without combat, there are options that exist. Though I will admit, it's still behind the curve.

Human Occupied Landfill. It's scifi on acid - fun to read, weird to play.
Wikipedia is your friend - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hol_(role-playing_game)

I also like the HOL skill of -
"Making Sharp Things Go Through Soft Things That Scream and Bleed"

HOL does have the best skill list of any RPG.
My personal favorite: Telepathy through Pummellation.
Besides where else can you have Pope Man and Altar Boy, The Spud and Tater Tot, The Man with No Nam, etc...

HOL Hero... hmmm.... spicy.....

That sums of the anime Excel fairly well, I think.

I've never been any good at comedy games. But if I ever tried something with it, I'd use Excel Saga. I think my players would revolt, though.

Loner HERO: Want to play an antisocial misfit who'd rather shlep down the bad streets whining about his lousy life, then be a hero? Want to force the GM to drag your character into doing stuff, to come up with his motivation for giving a s**t about the looming End Of Life As We Know It? Passive/agressive grab the spotlight your bag? Then Loner HERO is for you!

{Gun to shoot the player who does this sold seperately.}
