I like it. Is there a link to where we might be able to see it in more detail?

You'd think that I would have a site ti send you to, but no.

I am tinkering at the edges of this system and will have the next part to post, with the above section more ..

Wait I can attach a file, ha!

Just thought of it.

I am a big Excel user so I will post what I have tomorrow some time.

Thanks for the comments. This is what I love about the Hero system. First you put a lot of work into building the mechanics and meta-game effects. then you have to make them transparebt ti players so they , the rules, do not interfere with the actual game.

i.e. roleplaying

Right, here is a text file with a few examples.
