If you were putting together an "all-star" team of urban fantasy characters, who would be on your "must have" list?

I need a crash course in combat skills as they relate to character generation. The rule book seems fuzzy to me. Also, can anyone point to any other resources on the subject. For example, I see "+1 HTH" or "+1 with Firearms" in sample character sheets but no description of a HTH or Firearms skill in the rule set.

I recently played MHI with a group of RPG friends, and they loved it! It was a definite hit. One friend made his character a tribute to Ash from the Evil Dead movies, and we had to wing the stats for a chainsaw. We looked online and there were at least 3 different stats on forums for a chainsaw. Is there an 'official" one somewhere? If not which set of stats would you recommend? Thanks for all the help you all have been while I get used to a new system. I love the forums here.

Hey all, I'm running an MHI campaign in about 2 weeks and I'm world building. I picked up the Bestiary so I'd have more options than just what's at the back of the MHI book. I was wondering if pretty much everything in there would be puff apllicable and if you guys had any suggestions on how to come up with a puff for something that isn't listed in mhirpg. Thanks, Andrew

So with it being October, the realty site my wife gets emails from sent us a link to the following: http://www.trulia.com/local/64735/type:zombie_risk_unnaturalHazards Apparently it is a modded Environmental Risk program (normally for fire, flood, etc) that has Zombie Infestation, Ghost Sighting, and Vampire Hunting Grounds as special filters. I thought someone here might get some use out of it until they take it down.

OK, so I've got my group creating their characters for our first stab at a campaign of my own creation (more on that later). Many of them seem to be going with the Distinctive Feature by stating my "my character is really tall" or "my character has unusually bright red hair" etc... I'm cool with them letting their characters have the features and distinctions they want, but I'm having a hard time coming up with how this becomes a complication for them... Who cares if they're easily recognizable, they're not trying to hide from the law, they are the law. How else can I use their distinctive features, that aren't necessarily repugnant, in the story. Unless I'm…

Finally got around to picking up the RPG and prepping to run it for my gaming group. It seems a little unfortunately timed that the RPG came out Legion since there were major changes that happened in Nemesis and there was almost no time gap between Legion and Nemesis. If you are setting your game, like I will be after Nemesis there are some major changes especially with the MCB. Dwayne Myers is dead. Director Stark has "retired" from MCB for medical reasons. The new Acting Director of the MCB is Cueto. Cueto was a Strike Team "trigger puller" who worked his way up to unit commander. Described as a shaved head, muscular, grizzled looking warrior. Was a old friend and co…

So I'm new to the whole HERO system; I cut my teeth on Pathfinder/GURPS. This is my first attempt to use this thing and the sheer amount of stats makes my head swim a bit. I'm getting past that, sort of, but the big problem I'm hitting is... what's a reasonable stat? I mean technically I can crank these things through the roof at chargen, but I have no idea what a 'good starting template' would be. I checked out the MHI Hunter template, but that seems relatively... weak... somehow. I have -no- idea what number values to shoot for! Help!

Hi all, I'm getting ready to launch an MHI Session with my group, and decided to simplify things for everyone by modifying the 6th Edition spreadsheet that's floating around out there. It doesn't look nearly as pretty, but since we're going to be playing using a virtual table top, no one is going to be printing this. I wanted to share it with the community, and since I'm apparently unable to share it by uploading it directly, here's a link to it in my Dropbox folder. *** Edit *** See link below for the sheet. Happy Hunting. T

MHIEHRPG page 214-215 gives statistics for the AH-1W Supercobra, AH-64 Apache and MHI's MI-24 Hind. In addition to the listed machine guns / cannon and anti-tank guided missiles, the Apache (and presumably the Supercobra and Hind) can carry missile pods with the 2.76 inch FFAR rocket. What would be the game statistics for the FFAR? Also, the AGM-114 Hellfire is listed as 4d6 RKA AP Explosion, and the AT-2 as 4d6, AP x 2, Explosion. The M72A3 LAW on page 151 is 6-1/2d6 AP Explosion. According to Wikipedia the Hellfire has an 18 pound warhead, while the entire M72A3 weights 5.5 pounds. Is there any reason the M72 should do more damage?

I recently noticed a familiar name in the credits of the book. I just confirmed via facebook that we both used to hang out at the same quirky coffee shop in Tampa back in the 90's. Here's one of his illustrations from the book:

Something came up recently in a comment on the Kickstarter page that I though was worth sharing here. One of the Kickstarter’s backers, Brian Smith, asked a question that I’m sure has occurred to more than one MHI fan who’s been following the project: And here’s how I responded: All that said -- we are, of course, both willing and happy to hear from MHI fans about what they want to see in the MHIEHRPG, gun-wise or other-wise.

Hi Hero Gang! I am currently using Hero to run a campaign similar to the TV show Supernatural but maybe a bit more serious...

Hi, Long time gamer and huge fan of the MHI novels. Didn't realise there was a MHI game until recently and have come to have a look. In all my history of trying different rule sets, I have somehow managed to avoid the Hero System. Most of the groups I have associated with have always dismissed the Hero System as excessively complicated. Is the criticism justified? I see most praise the game for its ability to generate or replicate statistics for anything out there. How? How does this differ from other game systems? Is it easy to introduce a new gaming group to the rule set? None of my current gaming groups are interested in Hero system citing the criticisms a…

Hello everyone, I know the MHI book gives a list of PUFF bounties per monster, but I was wondering when the players get the cash- what could they spend it on? How would you calculate expenses like lifestyle, rent, etc? And how much should weapons cost? Drones, ammo, vehicles, buildings, etc? Let me know how you resolved this dilemma in the past.

Just want to throw this out there for people looking for a monster hunting fix. John Hartness has a series called Bubba the Monster Hunter. It's about what you'd expect, given the title - A guy who, when he's not drinking beer by the pitcher in a nudie bar and watching college football on TV, drives around the south in a pick-up truck and hunts monsters with his Desert Eagle .50 named Bertha. Several books available for cheap on Kindle. Also available as audiobooks.

I just finished reading the first MHI novel and started the second. Very fun stuff. I was constantly referring to the RPG to read tidbits about certain characters. It spoiled some of the mystery but I knew the risk going in. I think most of the NPC and monster write ups are pretty cool. I was originally shocked to see some of the extremely HIGH Speed scores for some characters (10+) in some cases but it fits the source material (this isn't a supers setting, the genre I am most familiar with, so the characters wouldn't general translate well into that type of setting without modification). On the other hand, the Strength stats for ALL characters and monsters s…
