Just a heads-up that the first 2 seasons of the Showtime series Penny Dreadful are now available on Netflix. The series is a lot of fun and would be a great source of inspiration for a Victorian Hero campaign. Indeed all the principle characters of the series are pretty easy to imagine as heroic level Hero PCs.

Has anyone ever converted either Rifts or Nightbane to Hero system(for personal use only, of course)? I love the settings but absolutely loathe the rules, and I think Hero might be a good fit. I just got back into Hero this Christmas when I received Champions Complete. It's been decades since I cracked open a Hero System book and Champions complete is a lot easier to work with than I remember. If no one else has then I see what I must do:)

How would you build a nation in Hero. A "nation" is a human personification of, well, nations. They carry all the sterotypes associated with that nation. (For example, Canada loves pancakes, and is hard to notice by other nations; America loves hamburgers and views himself as a hero, ect...)

We're all familiar, through the Mad Max franchise and others, with the idea of a post-apocalyptic world where all or most of the planet is a scorching hot desert environment. How about a one-eighty on that concept: how about a winter wasteland? The idea is the planet is in a new ice age and even setting foot outside requires you to either be physiologically adapted to intense cold or put on full cold weather gear like an Eskimo. Perils could include raging snow and ice storms, attacks by mutant polar bears, etc.

O.k. this dosent really deal directly with roleplaying, but we often base games off of popular fiction so I'm counting it. I've been looking around for a good sci fi/fantasy novel for Christmas, and I 've noticed something. 90% were all part 3 or 4 of the 10 part cycle. Am I the only one to find this annoying.

We're still several weeks away from starting a new season, but I wanted to start a new discussion thread since the old one was getting huge and unwieldy. I also wanted to let you guys know that I am thinking about it and the Arena is undergoing reconstruction. There are going to be some big changes. We may lose a few of you as a result. I hope that we don't, but some things really need to change in the structure. For my sanity and yours as well, I hope. In the meantime, be good and don't hurt any orange supercats.

With season two winding down for me I am starting to think of team themes for next season. Things that I have learned to be great bonuses: When in doubt, go for a cute or sexy female. Fame is far more important than power. Good guys play better than vllains. Points are important but can be hard to gain in the draft. I personly prefer having a theme rather than a random association but it can be hard to have a narrow theme when drafting as it makes snipes a bigger problem. ___ So thinking of the above I want to find a theme that let's me have a good chance next time while satisfying as many of my above observations as I can. To aid in that I thought I would outsour…

I've been interested in running a game set in 18th century around the time of the French Revolution, perhaps a few years before. My inspirations are a couple of television series: Nicolas le Floch, based on the novels, and Anno 1790. There will be some swashbuckling action, but much of the setting will include politics and detective work. There won't be any supernatural or magical elements in this game. Characters would be standard heroes. Characters would have skills rather than powers. Some combat ability would be handy, as would detective skills and the High Society skill. Here are a couple of videos of the series to give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:

So I'm rewatching a few Scooby doo episodes when something occurred to me. Scooby can talk, and is as smart as a person. Can outrun practically anything. Can morph his body into almost any shape. Is constantly fighting a series of colorfully garbed crooks. Scooby doo isn't a mystery solving dog. He's a superhero.
