sentry0 316 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I am looking for a couple of playtesters to test a system I have been working on which I am calling Chimera. More info here - https://chimerasystem.org/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sentry0 316 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 OK, so I relaize people don't have a lot of information about the project so I updated the webpage. The gist of it is I'm in the end stages of combining HERO and OpenD6 into a game which is attempting to extract the high cards of both systems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haven Walkur 84 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hello, Sentry-O! If you're still looking for play-testers, then count me in. I'm intrigued by your proposed system, and powerfully attracted to anything that retains HERO's benefits (flexibility, detail, workable overall structure) while discarding its besetting vices (ridiculous levels of granularity and associated point costs; EVERY part of EVERY skill/power/ability must be defined and paid for). As a long-time Champions player, that's something I've always found particularly irksome; the system's fanatical emphasis on 'no freebees'! Some powers/skills/abilities a player buys should *automatically* include some additional, related skills/powers/abilities"; if you buy "Human Form" for a character, you shouldn't *also* have to buy the ability to walk, run, eat, breathe or defecate with that form! (That way lies madness -- or at least, the most recent iterations of the HERO System.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the HERO DNA is present in the current iteration of the system but the main things that is different is the math. Shoot me an email at chimera.the.system@gmail.com and I'll add you to the list Quote Link to post Share on other sites
