    Yengtao martial moves

    Has anyone come up with anymore Yengtao moves? I've made a couple, but am hoping that others have made some that I can use. The powers themselves aren't that difficult to make.

    It is coming up with those really cool sounding names that can be so difficult!

    IIRC, there were a bunch more published somewhere -- the first edition of UMA, maybe? -- that I didn't rework in CU or Nightwind's writeup. Track those down and they should provide plenty of ideas.

    Thanks Steve and Yamamura. I will give the site a shot and try to find the other ones that you talked about Steve.

    Kind of off topic. One of the reasons that I love Hero so much became clear to me a little while ago.

    That reason is the staff. We all know that Steve, Ben, Simon, Tina and the rest of the gang respond to our questions, but do we really think about it?

    I posted a question here and within a few hours the Head Honcho respond to me. Not some website adminstrator. Not some intern, but the man who helped save Hero from the round file. Maybe I am wrong and other game companies give this kind of support too. But I don't know of any.

    Thank you Hero staff. For talking the time to read our questions. And then taking the time to answer them yourselves. We may not say it all the time. But we do appreciate it.

    Re: Yengtao martial moves

    I know what you mean!

    The first time I e-mailed the "info@herogames" E-mail, I expected some minimum-wage cronie to spit back a pre-determined answer...

    When I saw it was helpful, I was delighted. When I saw the name it was signed with...

    I dug out my copy of FREd, and gawked for several minutes.

    These guys rock.

    I keep thinking that it would be super-coolness to have a book of martial arts powers similar to the FHG and USPD -- call it Secrets of the Yengtao Temple, and put it under the Ninja Hero banner.

    Ah, well... maybe for 2009 or something.

    Re: Yengtao martial moves

    We could always have a gamer-created version, like the online USPD...
    "They sing no songs in Hel, nor do they celebrate heroes, for silent is that dismal realm, and cheerless. But the story of Gjallerbru and the god who defended it is whispered across the nine worlds, and when a new arrival asks about the one to whom even Hela bows her head, the answer is always the same: He stood alone at Gjallerbru... and that is answer enough."
