    Question What is the Fantasy Hero 3rd Ed. Companion Setting

    I played FH using those books and I cannot remember ever seeing an 'official' setting. At least I never found a campaign book.

    Western Shores was the sample campaign setting. Was pretty basic as far as settings go, but seemed pretty playable to me. I always used a homegrown setting back then.

    Just out of curiosity, you said 3rd Ed. in the title and 2nd Ed. in all of your posts. Which one are you guys actually talking about?
    On the one hand you want realism, on the other you want a playable game. We can argue about this all night long, but until you all line up against the wall and let me shoot you, we are not going to learn anything. ~Sean Waters

    Curufea's own campaign,linked to above, is largely based on the Western Shores setting included in the Fantasy HERO Second Edition genre book, but he did make a few significant departures from the material as published.

    Yes, it might be worthwhile to clarify our references. FH First Edition was published in the 1980s before the HERO System was unified. It had its own unique variant of the HS rules. FH Second Edition was published after the Big Blue Book and used 4E HERO, and included the Western Shores. FH Third Edition is the current one for 5E HERO.

    Thanks - I was just going to point that out. My campaign pretty much repopulated the setting with different races and cultures. So don't treat it as canon.
