I found a character sheet in the resource section that was pretty close to what I was looking for as a Play sheet for CONs and Intro Games. Essentially sheet that leaves out all points and give general text boxes for entering info. The one I found that was Fantasy Hero Character Sheet form beta2.pdf Beta2 in the HERO System 6th Edition Documents section. I’d like to upload my 5th Ed version to HERO System 5th Edition Documents and wanted to touch base with the original poster and get their OK to do so. I went back to grab the name of the original uploader, and noticed it was uploaded by “By Guest” with no additional links to contact them I thought I’d pos…

For those who know, Alter Ego Software closed shop. They took everything off Drivethrurpg and everything. You may still get updates if you have MetaCreator, but support is minimal.

So I’ve downloaded the Bard’s Tale games from XBox game pass and I’ll be diving into them tomorrow. It’s been forever since I’ve played Bard’s Tale one so I’d like to ask for any advice on party design that will hold up through all three games. In addition I was wondering if there would be any interest in my posting a “Where I Play” of my games. What day you Herodom?

Hi there everyone. I've been working on a module for playing 6e Hero in Foundry for a bit now, and it's finally ready enough, I feel, to be used publicly. I've submitted it for approval to Foundry itself, but in the meantime, I've made the repository containing it public and if you're interested, you can check it out here: https://github.com/jared-l-vine/hero6e-foundryvtt Fair warning, it's pretty feature-light at the moment. There's a lot more I want to do with it, but it's taken some time getting these basics up and running and learning how you even develop a Foundry module in the first place. Feel free to take a look and submit and bugs you come…

I have a 5th edition Excel Character sheet that is dated 2007 and I assume I got from here because there is a link to this site in it. As far as I can tell any other character sheets do not exist on the site before 2013. I have done a search for 5th edition character sheets and there is only one. The one that I have is basically a beta version and is superior to the one that is on the site (no offense to the person that uploaded it). But I am just wondering what happened to the file or files 6 years previous. Would the owner ask to have it removed? I was hoping to find an updated version, but sadly no such luck. There is a link in the file but that is over 13…

If you didn't see my earlier post, I've been working on a new "combat tool" for managing combat under the HERO rule system; things have come a long way. Today I used it for the first time in a real campaign, importing characters from Hero Designer, and am happy with how it's progressing. Though it doesn't yet have support for things like Aid or Drain, it managed normal combat just fine with full BODY, STUN, and END tracking. And it's free! You can reach the tool here and I've created some instructions here. I'd love to get some feedback on it.

I haven't had a lot of time to work on this but I have made some improvements since my post about the previous version. Notably, Deity now has support for Aid and Drain attacks, including automatic timed recovery of those points. To move things along faster, it will try to pick the best action for a character, pretty much limited to "attack" or "recover". This saves a click for almost every action which can be useful. And since it remembers the last method and opponent of every character's attack, much of the action is already set up. For NPCs, you can pretty much just keep clicking "confirm" and let them fight it out without wasting players' time. …

It's been a while since I've done any serious work on this but I've added support to Deity's Combat-Tool for entangles, grabs, and linked attacks. So far, I've used this for a Dire Wolf that bites and holds on. There are some other, less obvious, improvements as well. Import your own characters from Hero Designer and try it out. Feedback here or on the Discord channel is most welcome.

Since the last release, I've done work on improving entangles which now have full support for breaking out, including taking damage from "backlash" and when attacked (friendly or not) by other characters. There are also many small fixes for end/stun, linked attacks, and others. I use this for all combat in my campaign and now consider it to be "beta" quality. https://deity-online.com/app/combat-tool?gs=hero6 This tool is available online for no-cost. There are even instructions. Try it out! Comment here or on the Discord channel.

Back in the 90's, when my group would play the game where ever we could, it was tough to roll 12 to 15d6 on a McDonald's table. I came to the rescue with a little program called Diceroll.exe (at least I think that was the one). It printed a chart on an 8.5 x 11 sheet that had a percentile to roll instead of the die sixes. It listed Body and Stun for 1d6 for I think up to 30d6. I still have the program, but I need a computer with DOS. I don't have one and even if I did, I'm not sure it would connect to a USB printer. (Serial Ports and all) Players would probably find Hero Systems Mobile. From that they can just tap the button on the screen. Yet. No…

So, thanks to Corvid, my group will be meeting online from now on. So I need a decent program to run combats online. Mostly I want some thing easy to use and learn, preferably free. It doesn't have to be fancy, just have a map an figs. I have the tts app for Hero and it is incredible, but none of my players have tts and I think learning it will be more time intensive than I can/they will spare.

I have a simple question for those of you who use Fantasy Grounds. I am looking for a program that will allow me to display information on a second display at the game table. I have been experimenting with pictures, maps and sound at the table. I am not interested in remote gaming. I just want to know if I can show information on a second monitor utilizing "fog of war" reveal settings with Fantasy Grounds. Roll20 can, but is very clunky. Realm Works was supposed to do this, but they have pretty much become Pathfinder Works. So I am looking at Fantasy Grounds since they seem to actually support (as in FG content) other genres including modern, horror …

Up until a few years ago, the Hero Games website hosted a wide variety of book excerpts, supplements, and game aids for free download. However, with the most recent website upgrade, most of those items were considered not resource cost-effective to maintain, and were discarded. As a result most new Hero gamers are unaware they ever existed; and even some of the veterans may have missed the treasures they contained, or have since lost something from the collection they once had. However, thanks to the magnificent Internet Archive Wayback Machine, virtually all those items are still obtainable if one knows where to look and what to look for. But since many peopl…

Howdy folks! I've been anxious to share this news with you until I had more than just promises to share. I am developing the Hero System for FoundryVTT, under license with Hero Games, and I am just wrapping up on the foundation before moving into automation. My goal is to keep this as simple as possible, focus on automating the things that have greatest impact (e.g., using/tracking END), and allow others to build on it. Hero for Foundry will take 2 forms: Hero 6E Basic will be a FREE ($0) system for FoundryVTT that will only include content from the Hero System 6E Basic Rulebook. You will be able to add skills, maneuvers, talents, pow…

I'm still determining where I'm going with this post, but I've been diving into the HSM code again, fixing some bugs, and it has me reflecting on the app itself. The app is coming up on its 5th anniversary, which is cool. Five years is a long time in development years, though, and a lot has changed in the React Native (React Native is a mobile app development framework, which HSM is built on) world in that time. Things continue to change in that world rapidly. When I built the app, I followed the suggested best practices at the time, which were then replaced by different best practices. Time has gone by, and I have built a few apps in that time…

As we approaching the release of the Mod I thought breaking off a new topic focused on the Mod itself would be wise. Here is an update on the current benefits of the Hero System Mod for Tabletop Simulator. Import from Hero Designer Onscreen Combat Record with sections for: - Primary and Secondary stats Movement types Distance/range finder Ability to alter stats Skills list Maneuvers/ Martial arts list Locational hits Quick dice roller Custom Dice Roll list with roll editor.
