Hi I'm currently working on 2 fanprojects which use hero system and I could use a bit of additional hands there (mostly in terms of gathering ideas and exchanging them). The 2 projects are sort of related as I want to try to be able to interchange things like species there without problems. Both have 6th edition hero as base. The two projects are: A fantasy setting (currently I'm working there on the magic system and on species mostly dragons atm but also others). A modern setting where one can play as mortal or as godspawn and take on professions like priests, samurai, shinobi,... I'm currently at the stage where I'm creating the rules aka the species / profes…

Herogames, I'm a little disappointed in you. You were given a chance to make the universe you created for Champions become a living, breathing online world with Champions Online... But somewhere, somehow, someone dropped the ball. I'm not here to point fingers and/or say who's to blame, and there'd be nothing to gain here by doing so anyway. But I'd like to explain a little how my wish to play a Champions computer game – one with the HERO System running it – remains unfulfilled by the reality of Champions Online. Primarily, as a player of Champions and the HERO System in tabletop form since 1982 and as a Lifetime Subscriber to Champions Online, I don't fee…

I'm working on a Cthulhu mythos-related short story. In the story, I want a game like CoC to play a part. The main character is a gamer who played it a while back. Then I became concerned about legal issues. I can mention anything from HPL's stories without fear as he released them into the public domain so that others could build on it. However, this isn't parody, so I can't name the game CoC, any modules, events or characters that are first used in the modules. I'm perfectly okay with this in principle. However, as the character played the game and his old character sheet and SAN rules actually play a pivotal role in the unfolding plot, I've gotten myself into a cor…

I floated this idea elsewhere, an Old West campaign. Pregens to include the Lone Ranger, Tonto, the Duke, Kwai Chan Caine, The Man With No Name, Tom Sawyer, James West, Artemus Gordon, and Dorothy Gale. For the first adventure, I'm thinking that the LXA (League of Extraordinary Americans) are all attending completion of the Trans-Continental Railroad in the USA. Kwai Chan Caine is driving rails. Tom Sawyer is a Union Pacific Detective, providing security. I'm thinking about using Brisco County Sr. Jonah Collier: So, Marshal Brisco County, now that you've rounded up the thirteen most notorious outlaws in all the west, including John Bly, what will do you do for an en…

I'm at the UAE's second minicon. Just finished running what I believe may be Arabia's first game of Car Wars. Busy proselytising Hero System - and have just been given (given!) A copy of Western Hero by a chap who's never used it (or played Hero). Boy, am I happy. This is a true classic.

Hello, I'm about to run my first Hero System game, and while I've played Hero System games, the game I'm looking to run is a bit different than what I've actually played using Hero System. For starters, the game I'm looking to run is actually a Space Fantasy game where advanced technology and magic not only exist side by side, but sometimes people (in the setting) mix the two. Most of the game I've played were either Superhero games where people could be as strong as warships and no one batted an eye, or Martial arts games where cars were "free" because they had no practical impact on the game beyond personal style. I have a few questions I wanted to pop forth before I ge…

Has anyone seen a good version of the infamous anime martial arts Anything Goes Martial Arts (of Ranma 1/2 fame)? I'm asking, cause I'm wondering how they writen up certen manuvers (like Genma's Cradle From Hell grab, for instant).

Just wondering has anyone else on the Board been following this webseries? If so where do you think the starting points for the characters (especially the 4 main girls) should be? High Heroic? Low Superpowers? Has anyone actually started to stat out the characters or monsters?

Found this article on MSN, contains some pictures of abandoned military installations and equipment. As stated in the article, they almost have a post-apocalyptic feel to them. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/rest-peace-wartime-relics-reclaimed-land-sea-n113091

So the last two days, I've been typing like a mad fool. Bringing Cyber Hero up to 6th Edition from 20 years ago. I'm at 38 pages and 14,353 words. I've a way to go.... I really want to include some kind of netrunning Tron-like action, with Powers as programs. I could just translate the existing ones, but I'm keen to hear new methods... any thoughts?

I'm always coming up with game ideas, most of them go nowhere, but I had a weird one this morning that I thought I'd share. HERO System Kingdom rules. Each "Kingdom" is a Directorate in a Soviet-style government on a fictional recent-past (c.1956) Earthlike world. Each player is a Director of one of these Directorates. Directors almost always rise to the position of Supreme Director of the Red Star Republic (Soviet Union, right?). Very few Supreme Directors were military heroes or the like. Opposing the Red Star Republic is the People's Democratic Alliance (China) and Federated States of Placida (America). The GM plays the PDA and the FSP (and all of their litt…

What if you found a portal to a parallel universe? What if you could slide into 1000 different worlds? What if it's the same year and you're the same person but everything else is different? And what if you can't find your way home? Some of you may recognize the words above as the opening title sequence from the TV show Sliders. Well recently I've been considering starting a Sliders type roll playing game (using Hero rules of course) on rpol.net. (Since Hero Central may not come back) Of course it would not star the original stars, but the player's own creations. Four seasons of the show aired, and they visited a lot of different worlds. (About half …

I wanted to separate this from the Characters in Autoduel Champions thread. I've got Autoduel Champions, etc., and wanted to see how much I could do with just HERO System and its supplements. It turns out to be a lot, surprisingly. I'm thinking it may work for mecha as well, at least that's the hope. The Google document is here. In it I refer also to The Ultimate Speedster and a bit to Post Apocalyptic Hero.

Been a while since I played HERO, so I'll have to get up to speed, but it seems like that's the best system to use for a campaign set in the Borderlands Universe. The big thing is how to design the weapons and armor - my players will be new, so I'll probably be just handing an index card with the weapon on them. Here's what I want to take from Borderlands: 1) Each player has a certain amount of hit points that they can take before they fall over. 2) Armor *mostly* comes in the form of "force-shields," which are ablative, but very quickly regenerate when not under enemy fire. 3) Guns *do* cost character points, but these points will come from a VPP…

Reposting this from another thread so it does not get lost in there... OK So I am in need of a different sort of help. I need a plot idea for our weekly game. One of our players will be missing so I am only running for the other two. Hense I am still running an extension of last week (our first dry run of the game). Let me explain and maybe some of you folks can help me with some sort of plot idea. I am starting them out in a vault that did not have one of the social experiments in. It was just what it appeared to be, a survival vault. Last week the three characters were told that over the last 200 years, the dirt in the vault gardens (not all food is grown in…

So in Fallout they use the bottle cap as currency both for the fun factor and to keep the computer game simple. While I like simple, I find myself looking at this mechanic and trying to come up with a good explanation for my players as to why this is and how it is regulated. And this, of course leads me into the discussion in my mind (yes, I have multiple voices discussing this in my head even as I write this) over the balance of keeping a game simple enough to be playable yet detailed enough to give a real and immersive experience to my players. So I do what has worked so well for me up until this point, throw this out here on the boards and see what ideas you all ha…

OK So with the loss of our incredible Herocyclopedia GM, the mantle has fallen to me among our group to pick up the game system and run with it. I have long wanted to try to run a PA game based loosly on Fallout 3/FO New Vegas. Before I try to dive headlong into an abyss I am surely to be swallowed up by, has anyone ever run one of these and have any resources that might keep me from trying to reinvent the wheel and becoming overwhelmed by this rather than enjoying it like I should? I have the Fallout wiki for the text of the stuff I need but so much left to do to convert that to hero terms. Bestiary entries that would fit well, ideas on how to handle Rad poisoning and Ch…

Since I have received a request for my Highlander HERO rules, I am re-posting it in PDF form. It's done for 5th Edition, so you may have to make a few changes for 6th Edition. If you're interested in my write-ups for Methos and Duncan MacLeod, you can find them here in Surbrook's Stuff. Highlander_Hero.pdf
