Will Fantasy Hero include conventions for imitating console rpg's like maybe genre descriptions or something like that. Maybe the stats for a giant yellow riding chicken. Or is the book just going to center around classical fantasy backgrounds. just curious is all :)

I'm sorry, I think you might have to wait for the giant yellow riding chicken expansion. You'll have to check the schedule to see when it'll be out.

:( no fair
everyone needs a giant yellow riding chicken especially one that can run really fast and can run over mountians and water and stuff.
hmmmmmmm if it doesnt have stats for the giant yellow riding chicken what about cacti with arms and legs and a perpetually suprised look on their faces. or maybe a lil green salamander type guy who carries a lantern and a kitchen knife.:D

It sounds like he's talking about Chocobo's, from the Final Fantasy games.

FH has no specific conventions or notes for simulating console "RPGs," except insofar as they use tropes and themes common to all Fantasy.

I don't think it will be hard to use FH to emulate console RPG. For example, if you wanted to do Final Fantasy VIII, the magic system would be based on a VPP with a limitation you can only cast spell you have absorbed from your enemies. Also you would have to have some focus based summons to emulate the avatars.

Or, for that matter, intelligent squirrels riding a herd of trained combat armadillos....

How about a lil fuzzy bear creature usually with white fur and a set of wings. If you speak to him and ask him nicely then if you die later on you will be instantly ressurected anywhere on the planet but its linked to a time travel usable by others to send you back to the moment you last talked with him. :D

Wonder how that would be statted out. :)
