Greetings Herophiles, I realized that I hav been avoiding this one for some time. I have never liked role playing the Horror Genre, but I did not mind the occassional visits. When it comes to topics I dislike I tend to avoid them. Anyway I needed a project to distract me from another one (Tiger Squad). A way to relax and recharge. So here it is. The one you have been waiting for Horror Hero Resources. Hero Games Sourcebooks Horror Hero by Alan Dickerson, Robert O'Neal, John Tucker, and David Utter Horror genre book for the HERO System http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=Horror+Hero+by+Alan+Dickerson%2C+Robert+O%27Neal%2C+John+Tucker%2C+and+David+Utte…

I was dumping a collection of links from my computer and didn't realize how many I had collected until I reviewed this list. Thought I'd share it and archive it at the same time. So for you Victorian/Regency/Western-ish Fans here it is in all it's garbled glory.

I've started playing the new Mortal Kombat game that came out last year, and I've been pondering how to replicate different characters and abilities in Hero terms. Normally, I would go to Surbrook's website for video game characters, but Mortal Kombat translations are not there. Has anyone ever written up any of the Mortal Kombat characters or know of a website I could find them on? Another question along these lines. Kitana has an ability to temporarily levitate characters with a burst of wind underneath them and make them easier for her to hit. Would this be more like a one or two phase entangle or something else?

Trying it out myself and compared to DCU online not initially impressed. I stopped after a few minutes myself but will try again. I can't seem to pan around to see my characters front and the movement seems very clunky as does the interface but maybe I'll get used to it. I really like the champions universe so I hope so. In DCU online I immerdiately felt really hardcase and super. Hopefully I'll get the feeling here but not yet. I must confess the interface confuses me. I've leveled up several times but don't know if I need to make decisions or if so how to do anything. do I get to pick new powers etc. yet? I'd really prefer a mouse click attack option. …

OK, folx, we're rockin' on ice now! With the help of several Heroites I've set up a team just for Hero boards members and friends: Legion of Heroes.

One of the many freebie downloads I have piled up is for one of the zombie games, a quickstart scenario in which the group all wake up in a hospital ward in perfect health and ready to make their way out of the hospital past all the zombies and try to find their way to freedom. And I was wondering, how does that work? There are several zombie stories in which one person wakes up from a coma to find that it has slept through the apocalypse. It helps skip past the awkwardness of showing how the problem multiplied out of control But how do a room of coma patients all wake up at the same time, all fit and healthy? The options that come to mind are: The…

Dim Mak is a martial arts Death Touch, literally press artery, a blow that is fatal, sooner or later. Dim mak may treated, but not be completely cured without proper equipment, special items not usually carried by most practitioners of Eastern medicine. Such gear could include... 8 big eyed acupuncture needles wicks for the above 8 teacups, or better yet, glass tumblers Dulzuck incense The Dim Mak victim lies on his stomach. The eight needles, wicks in place, are used to penetrate his back at chi / meridian sites. The wicks are ignited. Cups are inverted over the needles. The flames quickly exhaust the limited oxygen, created a near vacuum, pu…

Just got back from watching Jet Li in HERO. Wheewww... baby! Visually the film is just stunning. The fights are fast and furious, and the characters pull some eye-popping stunts. I had to deal with laughter in the audience (from people expecting KISS OF THE DRAGON, CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE, or some other nonsense no doubt), when ever the characters started leaping and flying about. I saw some great ideas for NINJA HERO powers, such as a Dispel versus Shields Linked to a sword HKA (and/or as a Damage Shield), A Double Knockback sword strike, Telekinesis via sword (defined as a swirling wind), and a Forcewall versus arrows (Gestures throughout). Another interesting i…

OK, my copy of the Feng Shui RPG core book was either thrown away due to flood damage, or too well packed away for an impending move. How do you move through Portals to/from the Netherworld for the purpose of time travel to different time Junctures? Evidentally it is difficult, given this- The Molten Heart is a device that utilizes a new mix of technology and magic. The Heart will give you the ability to open and close portals at will. If completed, this will give you a huge advantage in the Secret War: you will completely control access between all of the junctures and the Netherworld.

Is there any add-on pack that has energized hand weapons? I've created Paladin (a Devastator) based on one of my old 5e characters. In 5e, his primary attack was an, "energy mace." I pictured it as a 1-handed mace that had sort of an aura around the head. Has anyone seen anything like that in the game?

I don't think anyone has posted about this yet (though I admit I have not looked into the MHI forum.....). So as it has PAH potential (amongst other possibilities) I thought I'd post it here: It'll be coming out on YouTube under the Creative Commons license in November. Apparently it was created by various grad students in their spare time while at CERN working with the LHC. Might be interesting. -Carl-

For the benefit of the anime fans who play Hero, what do you guys think would be the most effective way to build a magical girl? There are several different kinds of magical girl, as anyone who has read one of my books will know. I'm thinking of several of these types, such as the kind who transforms into a colrfully dressed warrior maiden with magical atatcks and defenses, or a thief who uses magic powers to commit her robberies, or the preteen girl who tranforms into a beautiful teenager so she can achieve fame and fortune as an idol singer. How do you build any of these characters in Hero, and at what point level should you build them?

After putting this down for a while I picked it up again today. I posted stuff in the past that was hazy but now it is time to get things firmed up. I wrote this in one sitting and is probably full of grammar spelling mistakes. Take a look at it and give me your thoughts and questions. I will post more as the days progress.... Scion:Hero Thousands of years ago the world shook from the battles of ascendant men and monstrous creatures and stories of those epic times passed from generation to generation down to us. While historians have always suspected some sliver of truth in those tales, the truth was actually greater than their beliefs would allow them. Ab…
