So, I am converting some of my old Shadow World adventures for use with Hero 6E. One of the mechanics from Rolemaster that I used a lot was their movement % - specifically to create movement based encounters. Picture dashing across a gorge while the wooden foot bridge its collapsing behind you. In RM yyou would roll and the result would be the % of your maximum movement moved. How would you simulate this using 6E and it's static movement rates?

So, I've got the original Strike Force, but I was wondering what was new in the 6th ED version, besides updated character builds? Anything particular content added from the original? What is the art like? Thanks!

Before I start to try and print key pages of the PDF 6th ED books, is there a 6th ED GM screen anywhere (I didn't see it in the store) that has hit location and range modifiers and the OCV/DCV comparison chart, Mind Control tables, Presence Attack tables, etc? Thanks!

I'd like to know if the $29.99 Star Hero Book + PDF deal current listed in the store is the original color hardcover or a softcover, B&W reprint. Would anyone be able to enlighten me? Any help is much appreciated.

Hello, i am playing HERO from 5th edition revised, i am trying to introduce HERO 6th edition to as many RPG players as i can and recently bought Champions and Fantasy complete for 2 of them, they really like the books but my personal opinion is that is very difficult to play/ understand the book without having the 6E1 and 6E2 books nearby.Things like computing damage classes for advantaged power(and why you do so), or adding damage or even minimum damage are so minimally worded and without examples in the complete books that if these are your first and only HERO 6th edition you have to resort to the forums to clarify them or have an INT score of 20+ to work them out on yo…

Heya, Are there any plans to re-release the first edition of Champions? Even an electronic/pdf version would be awesome.

I have been a long time gamer(around 25 years) and played many different games. D&D was my go to for a REALLY LONG time but when 4th edition came out I was turned off of it.One of my friends found some stuff about the Hero System and we have been looking at it for some time. I have another group that is presently in a 5E campaign, yes still playing D&D just not my go to, that I believe is going to fall through with the DM but most of the group wants to keep playing SOMETHING and if I have to run something I'd like it to be Hero System. The issue is that some of us are old school and want to have physical books, especially at the gaming table, but it ap…

Spotted on the Hero Games FB Page: https://highrockpress.com/blogs/news/high-rock-press-production-schedule-2 Production Schedule Below is the production schedule for High Rock Press over the next year or so. Sorry we couldn’t post it in a more attractive manner, but it should be informative enough! A few notes. The term “track” means a crowdfunding method. “Track One” refers to the High Rock press Kickstarter account, which will be used for “big” projects of between $20,000 and $40,000. “Track Two” refers to the old Blackwyrm Publishing Kickstarter account, which will be used for “small” projects of between $3,000 and $5,000. “Track Three” refers to the as-of-ye…

Is there any place where I can purchase Western Hero in a digital format? I have previously purchased tons of Hero System/Champions books in PDF but as far as I know, I have not run across the ability to purchase Western Hero. I tracked down a used copy off of Ebay but it is a good deal ratty and I would prefer to read it on my laptop if possible. I'm afraid I already know the answer to this but I just had to ask. Take care, TB

I don't care what settings they were meant for, I want to know if there's a book which simply contains all the skills, characteristics, powers, advantages, and disadvantages, talents, magic, whatever that have ever appeared in any books. All the raw materials that I could ever need to build any of my own settings. I don't like the feeling of these things being tucked away in different genre books, I just want all the character building tools extant within the system. I feel like the splatbooks should exclusively contain package deals that, no matter the setting or genre, only reference a single book worth of raw building materials. Does such a book exist? Am I an idio…

I posted this awhile back in the Hero Designer forum and didn't get an answer, but it's not really a Dan question so I figured I'd try again here. Do the HD Character Packs ever get updated as errors/omissions are found and pointed out? And if so, how do we know about them and how do we download the new versions? The specific example I just noticed is that a number of weapons in the Equipment Guide CP have the STR Minimum entered as a custom/text modifier, rather than using the actual STR Minimum modifier, and therefore are calculating damage incorrectly.* (Mainly the Axes, Maces, & Picks.) But there have been many other CPs that I've found errors in and had t…

I have almost everything from the first few editions of Champions ... Island of Dr. Destroyer, Strike Force, AC #1, first ed rules, the GM screen, etc. (I sold Wings of the Valkyrie ages ago though!) There's very little in PDF form on sites like drivethrurpg.com. Is there a way to get PDFs for these?

Are there plans to produce a HERO 6e compatible GMs screen? Even screen inserts for the PEG or Hammerdog GM Screens would be great. Best of all, no printing, shipping, or warhousing costs for HERO. Just produce some nice reference sheets and post 'em for sale. I'd pay a few buck$ for nice sheets and some new cover art. I'd even buy sheets for Fantasy Hero and Champions Complete. Although I'd prefer nice durable screens like the one for Hollow Earth Expedition. >>ReaperWolf

So there isn't a 6E vehicle book, so I'm trying to use the 5E one. Here's my problem, unless I'm missing something huge, based on the rules given for rowing speeds in the book, to row the example trireme at it's given rowing speed of 4", you would need a rowing crew with an average STR of 43. Rowing Movement: 4" Size: 12 Oars: 170 4+12 = 16" STR needed to make a running broad jump forward of 16": 80 Lift Capacity of STR 80: 1.6ktons = 1,600,000kg 1,600,000kg / 170 oars = 9412kg lift capacity per oarsman STR needed to lift 9412kg: 43 What did I miss?

Well I finally tracked down a "reasonable" priced copy of 6e1 and I took the plunge right before Christmas. When it came in I was horrified that the entire book had ripped away from the cover! Nothing else is damaged - and from what I have read in older posts this is a fairly common issue with this volume since it is so heavy and only being held together by the inside sheets of glued paper. So before I do something I regret - has anyone attempted to repair their 6e1? I want to repair it if possible rather than separating the sheets and putting them into plastic pages. Typically when this happens with my other older books, I apply a lot of Gorilla wood glue and reb…

I am trying to complete my line of 5th edition products and was wondering if anyone would be willing to trade/sell some of their 5th Hero Dice (black / green). I would gladly trade 2x 6th Hero Dice (blue) for each 5th Dice. I will also buy them for a reasonable price. Thanks, TB

I am finally returning to Hero System after several years of being away. With approximately 75% of all of the 5th edition books already in my collection already and seeing the crazy prices for 6th edition, I think I am just going to stick with 5th and try and complete the run (especially with the reduced costs for 5th in the Hero store). I know there were some 5th edition hardcovers printed over the run (along with their softcover counterparts) - but does anyone know which books they were? The ones I know of are: Fifth Edition Rules (have it) Fifth Edition Revised Rules (have it) Pulp Hero (have it) Fantasy Hero (don't currently have it) Are there any oth…

Is there an updated PDF for Fantasy Hero with corrections (notably the tab errors in the weapon table on page 249 and the erroneous pricing for Gestures and Incantations throughout)?
