What have you used Hero for?

Is that a ticking time bomb or just a countdown clock?

Horror- I ran a game for 6 years!
Fantasy Hero
Sci-Fi only once...
Champions (of course)
Cheese Champions, basiclly "The Tick"
Dark Champions

Right now I am trying to set up a game in the Confrontation/ Rag'Narok Miniture Game Universe of Aarklash. And next week my group is doing a Zombie Horror one-shot...

Got a question for you, Toadmaster.

In the Morrow Project campaign that was run using the HERO System you
mentioned earlier, were you the GM or one of the players? If the former,
would you be willing to give an aspiring GM some pointers on how it was
done?

You see, I've got the Morrow Project game, and I've been trying to decide
which game system to switch it over to for campaign purposes: GURPS or
HERO System.

I believe I ran the Morrow Project Campaign in 1987, so I don't recall many details (I also played some with the MP system so its all a blur), but I would be happy to answer any questions you have that I can. As far as HERO or GURPS that will depend on your players and which system you are more comfortable with, personally I lean towards HERO but I've also used GURPS for Twilight 2000 and Aftermath games.

Do they have to be exclusive?

Do they have to be exclusive?

Nope, but it may help determine how that first adventure goes!

Latecomer to the thread

Supers - GM'ed on and off for many years (circa 1983)
Fantasy - GM'ed sporadically since the original Fantasy Hero made it to the UK (1984/85)
Cthulhu - GM'ed continuous 1920' and 1930's era campaigning since 1985 (conversions using Justice Inc and Champions hybridisation before 4th ed arrived)
Cyberpunk - GM'ed SF convention one-shots demonstrating general RPGing and HERO in particular
BattleTech/Mech - played in a rather wobbly, very forgettable conversion mini-campaign

I will ignore anything having to do with normative superhero (comic book) games (be they cinematic or gritty):

• Hard Boiled Hero (Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, etc)
• Victorian Detective Hero W/Fantastic Elements (supernatural, etc).
• Harn Hero (aka Peasant Scum Hero)
• Hard Science Fiction Hero (with some pulpy elements for good measure)
• Modern Ninja Hero (No One But Ninja Can Kill Ninja!)
• Sengoku Hero (aka Angry Samurai Hero)
