What mixed-genre premises would you find disturbing? Here's an example: "Mel Brooks and Akira Kurosawa collaborating on one movie." (Mixing Ninja Hero with extreme doses of comedy) Let's see what ideas you can come up with? Edit: This was just something that came to me totally at random.

Does anyone remember the OCV/DCV matrix that was a short cut for new players, and where it is located? I've been looking for it and can't seem to find it.

What it says on the tin;-). I pretty much have everything else squared away but I'm not sure how to do the Pip-boy's mapping function and VATS. The core of it is as a wearable computer. VATS I was thinking some combination of CSLs usable by other (with an end reserve), but the mapping thing I'm not sure 'bump of direction' fits very well or if there is a better solution. Thoughts?

A friend of mine was discussing a scenario he's working on which would include ninja (probably in a semi-comic way, but I'm not certain). Something be mentioned was the cliché of one ninja being almost unstoppable while a horde of them are individually rather hopeless weaklings, leading another friend in the discussion to point to The Conservation of Ninjutsu trope. And at that point the chat moved on to which system would handle it best and how. I suggested Hero, thinking offhand that a communal VPP might be possible: all the ninja can access it, but can only use points not currently being used by someone else, so more ninja means fewer points available to e…

Wong Ping was something of a local legend, known as "the bronze foot", and was fond of demonstrating his kung-fu in public. Because of this he came to the attention of Sing Lung*. One day Sing Lung came down from the mountain and had an opportunity to observe Wong Ping's kung-fu. He was impressed by Wong Ping's skill and tried to tell him so but because Sing Lung's Chinese …

Someone suggested this on Twitter/YouTube. It's a site where you can look up Tanks/Aircraft/Naval Ships/Weapons etc by Era as well as by weapon I believe. Probably usable for Western and Pulp Hero along with Deark Champions. It boasts 5,500 entries. https://www.militaryfactory.com/

As I've been reading the 6th ed rulebook getting ready for my game, I see a few requirements that players need: In order to run Bioware (not any old cyberware), they need the Bioware Compatible talent (p.11). In order to run cyberware needs a Cyberbrain (p.10). Cyberbrains replace EGO, OMCV, and DMCV with their own stats and are independent of the character (p.41). In order to show this correctly, I think a character has to sell their EGO (etc) back to 0, then buy a cyberbrain. However, the NPCs in the book don't always seem to jive with that. Examples: Agrees: Replicates (p.205) <They have -2 EGO (p.75) but shouldn't the Cyberbrain not refle…

The manuscript for Western Hero is at Hero HQ and being worked over, with a new cover being created for it. I don't know any realistic release date but I hope it will be out by Christmas. This is to be an official Hero Games product, not a Hall of Champions fan bit or self pub job like my other work. I have a few release ideas set up for it, when it hits the shelves including an adventure module. As I get more news and information I'll pass it along here. So stay tuned, pardner.

So I've started a campaign with my home group that takes players from low-powered near normal Victorian heroes through the Golden Age and on to the Iron age. Power levels increase each time and they can create characters with connections to what has come before or something entirely new. It is something of an exercise in collaborative world-building. To start they created 225/50 heroes with normal characteristic maxima. The setting is London in the late 1880s/early 1890s. Victorian Heroes Everyman Skills - I used the list out of 6e Skills with just a couple of changes. Home City Knowledge 8- Native Language Idiomatic w/Literacy Profession or Tra…

Standard times: Draw weapon - 1/2 Phase Cock a single action revolver - 1/2 Phase Fire - 1/2 Phase So, as most revolvers are single action, a character without Fast Draw skill cannot fire the same Phase as they draw and cock. That gives anyone with Fast Draw a huge advantage. (A double action revolver cocks and fires in the same 1/2 Phase Action.) Using the GM Permission note on p. 73, "a character can make a DEX or Fast Draw roll to cock a pistol taking zero phase, or to do so while on the move. A failed roll results in no special penalty, it just takes the usual Half Phase to cock." I'd allow a DEX roll at -3 (seems a…

In the book, it says that "Selected from any number of pre-designed packages" and that replicants have models. But we have just the general template... How should I create those packages?

Along with all my other projects, I am going to be doing a 1 player Kazei 5 game from time to time. While the supplement and website have a great deal of info for major NPCs/Player examples there is not as much in the way of generic enemies. Smalltime gang members, corpo security and the like. I was hoping to avoid having to create all of that and so wanted to see if anyone had resources I could tap into for help.

Giant Steam engines, Aeronaught Gyrocopters, Zeppelins air craft carriers, men in three piece suits and women in old style long dresses where a scandal is showing too much ankle. What makes for a good Steam Punk Game and what rules capture the Zeitgeist of the books and stories of the genre. I read a book that explained why you could have some modern advances but still be Steam Punk. Essentially you accepted that physics as understood in the 19th century were real. Space was not empty but filled with a medium called the Ether and that is how gravity and light propagated. What we called atoms are not protons and neutrons orbited by electrons. Instead Atom…

After digging around on the Wayback Machine and trawling through the forum here I’ve found enough information to interest me in The Kandris Seal from Hart-Felt Productions but not quite enough to answer a couple of questions about it. So: 1) Does anyone know a source for the free downloads (maps, character sheets etc) which used to be available from the now defunct Hart-Felt Productions website? The only file I could retrieve from the Wayback Machine was a PDF preview of the main book. 2) Does the supplement Steam, Savants and The Kandris Seal contain Hero stats? On balance I don’t think it does, but RPGgeek.com says otherwise. If not, do you think…

Bought a copy of Western Hero and am reading through it (thank you, Christopher R. Taylor!). Do any of the Western Herophiles have or are interested in making 6E WH character sheets for: 1. Marshall Matt Dillon (Gunsmoke) 2. Lucas McCain (The Rifleman) 3. Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe Cartwright (Bonanza)

Basics of conversion ==================== 1. Skill rolls get modified to x5% per point, so a skill roll of 11- becomes a skill roll of 55%. Maximum skills are 100% in very rare cases. Average starting characters have skill rolls of 11- (55%) or above. 2. Combat rolls: OCV Becomes a combat bonus of 5% per point of OCV. DCV creates a penalty to attackers Total Combat Value. Total Combat Value equals 55% plus OCV (OCV x5%) bonus. Combat Roll equals Total Combat Value minus opponents Defense Bonus and modifiers. - Cover modifiers of -2 (10%) to -8 (40%) are added to combat roll procedure. - Range modifiers: 4 to 8 metres = 0 9 to 16 metres = …

Abandoned building in Japan. Is that the roof or a stagnant pool? What was it used for? Was it a medical lab? A robotics company? What secrets are burried inside it?

While visiting Supermegatopia I came across these. Only of intreast to people who are into Furry super-heroes or anything close. (Note to Steve, if Hero Games ever decides to create a furry hero book I highly suggest the artists here for interior work and the cover) All art belongs to Supermegatopia

If you don't understand why this is a thank you, and you haven't checked it out already, please: So this one is actually finished! However, it's a bit niche, and out of respect for the fine people at HERO Games and those folks who publish RPG books, there are several references to other HERO Games materials (mostly Bestiaries and the like); it didn't feel right to include stuff that other people were selling, you know? A brief explanation: Chris Goodwin pitched an idea at me that tickled my fancy so thoroughly that I asked him how he planned to introduce the idea. He had hit upon the idea o…
