Hyper-Man Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I didn't want to be negative on the facebook post so adding this here. Doesn't the following seem awfully familiar? Originally from: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154573498831875&set=gm.1962866527321236&type=3&theater vs And on a more humorous note I'll leave this: from: https://rpggeek.com/thread/1813450/qotd-july-16-which-your-favorite-generic-rpg-and-w/page/2 It occurs to me just now that Hero is the El Camino of RPGs.It can do almost anything, but very few particular things as well as a more specialized system in its niche. It's as ugly as sin to many folks, but its fans actively appreciate the same things that others find ugly. It rewards tinkerers--up to a point. You still see one around every now and then, the owner proudly and happily tooling away in it--aware of the stares but unconcerned by them. Though possibly there is an embarrassed passenger riding shotgun. HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Walsh Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 That El Camino quote is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 That El Camino quote is perfect. If you need me I'll be under the hood... edit Here are the 5e and 5er versions HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Stanfield Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 This would be the BBB version. It's a Super(hero) Sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Perhaps it's an alternate reality version of Champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 That logo is awfully similar but not so much so that its duplication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-Man Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 So if HERO/Champions is the El Camino of rpg's then what cars best represent other games? HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 D&D is one of those Hot hatch shoes that started out a fun little easy car but the owner keeps adding acessories and neon lights under the car and those Ben Hur hubcaps and paint and spoilers until its just ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrinku Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 You'd think that Hero would be bigger in Australia, given the popularity of the, "ute." Toyota, Holden and Ford have that market sewn up already. I hate to say it, but in this context, D&D is probably the Toyota Hi-Lux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchpad Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 The Heroic logo is more a play on the old FASERIP logos IIRC. The developer is a friend of mine and is creating a system for his comic line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the Bruins Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I was about to say I remembered the Marvel Super Heroes logo of the 80s looking reminiscent of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Walsh Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I've been trying to figure out what that reminded me of, and you're right, that's it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Is this the one being referred to? https://rpggeek.com/rpg/466/marvel-super-heroes-adventure-game If so, I get it. Even Champions 6e looks like it. My issue with the Heroic game's logo and name is that it is so similar to the name HERO which is tied to Champions. Also, Champions/HERO is still actively support if only by a thread. Marvel just moves on to new systems. If Jason doesn't have a problem then there is no issue but I just thought it was interesting.
