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. Where possible all of the above allow the "Click to roll" Dice rolls and modifiers for: - Stat rolls Sk…

I don't know how many people here are prone to order custom miniatures online, but the design software for Hero Forge fanally offers a set of mechanical wings. Not the style I would have chosen for a first offering but acceptable.

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?

Has anyone tried using MapForge to create battlemaps for their Hero System games? The app supports hexgrids, and has both Modern Day and Sci-Fi mapping assets available for it (or you can use your own art via drag-and-drop), and there's a selection of content that can work with any genre. Many of the content Add-Ons are free, and there are more on the way (hopefully more Modern Day content, in particular). Maps made with the app can either be printed, or used in the virtual tabletop software of your choice.

Hi all, As the title mentions i am in search for a Hero System ruleset for Fantasy Grounds. There is one in development (in the last years), but it has not been published from Blackfoot. Are there any alternatives? If no, i would suggest for the Fantasy Ground users to add our voice in the Fantasy Ground forum: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?20112-Champions-HERO-System-Ruleset-FG-3-0/page29 so that we can acquire the necessary user base for this project.

I am not affiliated with this product, I am not a spam bot I just thought others might like it or it might help them in brainstorming ideas for gameworlds Want to spin a fantasy world , play with the biomes, put some cultures on it, watch them form nations and then see how they destroy each other as centuries progress? It's limited in downloads and erases your world after 30 days if you don't have a paying membership, but I have to admit this thing is addictive. So far I'm just using the free option myself. https://ui2.worldspinner.com/

Maptool 1.5.0 has finally been released. There was a considerable delay between this release and 1.4.1.8 due to Oracle kindly taking stuff we used for the launcher, out of core Java. So we had to completely retool that. Thanks Oracle. As a consequence the release contains a shed-load of stuff. Bugfixes and features. Syntax highlighting in the editor. AI pathing. Terrain movement cost modifiers. New script functions and more! https://www.rptools.net/2019/03/maptool-dev-test-version-1-5-available-for-download/

I've been working on my Hero System inventory recently, and found my copy of Hudson City Sector 1 from Goldtree Enterprises. I never used it, and I was wondering if anyone did, and how well it worked if you did. I could not find any reference to the program on the web. Was I the only person who bought this?

I am a contributor to the Maptool project. If you are unfamiliar with Maptool its a open source, totally free virtual table top (VTT) application. Its is probably the longest running VTT project, has more functionality than any other and is still growing. What it is definitely NOT is the nicest looking or easiest to use ? We like to refer to it as the Millennium Falcon of VTTs as it might not look like much but she's got it where it counts kid. Anyway, I am hoping to run a hero system campaign in the not to distant future and am in the process of trying to improve some of the hex based features (such as drawing tools and area effect templates) but was wonderi…

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…

For folks looking for an alternative to maps and miniatures for there super hero RPG battles, have a look at what I have been putting together. The following are screen shots of an app that takes the headless version of City Of Heroes, called Icon, and extends it with some functionality to manage fully animated an interactive miniatures on a 3d desktop. After a couple of months of toil, thought I would show what is starting to be some pretty cool features to extend Icon for machima, role playing games, etc... Application places a tabletop widget to the side of the desktop the character explorer allows creating nested crowds of characters that can be linked, …

There have been a few threads talking about using Roll20 to play Hero games. It is a lot of work to get things looking decent. I have created a sandbox over on Roll20. I will make anyone who joins a GM so that we can all work on generating resources that we can bring back here to share. :-) If you want to go look at the sandbox I have been playing with, you would be more than welcome. You can join the sandbox at https://app.roll20.net/join/1628298/KcEqwA and I will give you GM rights so that you can look at the guts of everything. Doc

Anyone know how the map for Hudson City was created for the source book? I would like to create my own city and have looked at a few programs but they do not seem to give the same results. I cannot draw at all, so that is why I am looking to see how it was done originally.
