TheQuestionMan Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Greetings Herophiles, recently a forum member stated that DOJ possessed a monopoly on Hero Games products and I collected this for them.

Guest voodoo54 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Looks good to me! I was wondering if anybody out there on these boards owns Omlevex. This title has been out for three or four years now and I haven't found any reviews or comments good or bad from any HERO players. The silver age is by far my favorite setting for supers and was wondering if this was worth getting or don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest voodoo54 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Yea, I read this review, I was just wondering if anybody on these boards had it and what they thought of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products I have it. I've tried to read it. But the watermark on the pages makes that nearly impossible. My only opinion of it is that the layout is so bad I can't read it and tell you how good the product actually is. At some point I'll sit down and make a serious effort on the thing.

Lord Mhoram Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Yea' date=' I read this review, I was just wondering if anybody on these boards had it and what they thought of it.[/quote'] I really enjoyed the setting. I had no difficulty reading it, which is unusual because watermarks usually kill my ability to do so. The conceit is that it is a "licensed source book" of comics of the Omlevex line - so it presents the character when they first appeared in the comics and that sort of thing. Interesting world, but the character writeups are in the "short form, and are not all that well done. I would say if you can find it on discount snap that sucker up.

ghost-angel Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products I payed 1$ for my copy. plus 5$ shipping or something. Either way, overall a decently cheap purchase for the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products You got a bad copy G-A Wish you lived around here I could loan you a copy. QM No, I've found another copy in my FLGA to compare. The watermark on the entire page is the bad part. The print itself is just fine. It's just fecking unreadable design.

mayapuppies Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Well, D3 Games has entered negotiations to license Fantasy Hero/HERO System for Kamarathin: The Kingdom of Tursh. If it all goes well, I'll have a press release available and the company site up and running. Wish us luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayapuppies Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Heh, I believe I should be thanking you. But, right now we're only at the discussion stage. No contracts have been signed just yet. I just want to be perfectly clear on that last part, I don't want to give the impression that D3 and Hero are in bed together...They've only just accepted the dinner date.

Guest voodoo54 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Watermarks? Is that were the letters are on top of pictures making it annoying to impossible to read. Anyway it sounds like it's a good supplement if you don't pay full price, is that a good assessment?

Lord Liaden Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products There are also three products for HERO fantasy published under license by Kestrel Arts: The Fantasy Codex (spell and creature collection), and two adventures, The Lost Castle and Elenthar's Tower. Click on the book illustrations on the linked KA webpage to go to where you can purchase them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products No, I've found another copy in my FLGA to compare. The watermark on the entire page is the bad part. The print itself is just fine. It's just fecking unreadable design. Agreed in general (cannot say about this specific book). There is so much bad layout design out there it is not funny, and I am not speaking HERO here. I have not picked up a great deal of the HERO 3rd party stuff, but where I have -- such as the Algernon Files, I have not really run into the problem. I liked Algernon's layout. So the rrest of my rant pertains to layouts outside of 3rd party HERO material. Rocketship Empires for example is a neat setting and all but the layout -- yech. The book has some black reversed print pages, which are sort of okay in the abstract but when you pile them on (two page layouts with nice maps by Keith Curtis -- nice job Keith!), it makes the pdf tougher to print out. And the background of the pages is a light grey which means that you're using a heck of a lot of ink/toner, plus all of that gobletygok all over the tops and bottoms of the pages. And don't get me started on Widows and Orphans or realllly bad layout jobs that look like a printed Word Document rather than a professional layout job. Recently, I picked up one of Basic Roleplaying's settings and was frankly horrified enough to contemplate sending the author a note that I would be very happy to re-do the layout free of charge. No real way to make that sound nice though, so I didn't. Myself, I prefer a nice clean layout when I do them, such as: simple over cluttered in general; fonts which are both appropriate and selected for maximum reading ease; a final product that can print out nicely in black and white as well as Colo (Serenity RPG I am looking at you). But that may not be what is sellable at this point given the state of the market. Maybe Buyers want books to look like Mickey Mouse threw up on the page, with color everywhere whether it needs it or not; or they enjoy tragic choices like watermarks that look very cool but render the whole text unreadable etc. I shudder to think.

Lord Liaden Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Well, Fourth Edition material is a whole different category. IMO people reading this list should know when something isn't for Fifth Edition, in case that matters to them. If you were going to list that stuff you'd need to include all the other licensed books by Gold Rush Games: Heroic Adventures I and II, San Angelo: City of Heroes, Enemies of San Angelo, and Denizens of San Angelo. How far back did you want to go? Do you want to note all the pre-4E stuff too, by Steve Jackson Games, Firebird Ltd., Chaosium, and Flying Buffalo?

Lord Liaden Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Just noticed that you have The Dragon's Gate from GRG listed as a Fourth Edition book. It's actually for 5E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products You list Reality Storm as a GOO product - which is partially true in a sense; but it's also a Hero Games product and since GOO is gone you could point the URL right to the Hero Games Store.

Lord Liaden Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products Good point. Hero Games is actually the publisher of Reality Storm, even though it was a collaborative effort with Guardians of Order. And it's still available from the online store here.

ghost-angel Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Re: Hero System 3rd Party Products That's only because Steve forgot to make a Thread for it in this forum - it's still in the store though. I'll bug him about it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
