Phantomxistance Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hello, i am looking for a premade first adventure, i have never DMd Hero before and none of us have played. I would like something that introduces us to the rules preferably not in Champions universe( i am not a huge fan). I would like to have pregen characters with it, any help would be greatly appreciated. Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I have something on the backburner along those lines. Nothing written up unfortunately. If you want some info IM me. Also check out my generic heroes, they might help you get started... https://jawedel01.wixsite.com/kountry-gaming/copy-of-hero-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hey, new kid! Your request is a little broad for me to get a handle on. Do your players already have characters written up and have decided whether you’re a team already or just a group of heroes doing a team-up and you just need an episode to run for them or are you looking for a test game with pre-made Player Characters, so you folks can decide if you like the system? We as a group can help either way, it’s just easier if we know what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomxistance Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 A complete pregen, with characters, to learn and decide if we like the system. Like I said prefer a non-supers game. I am not a huge super fan, looking to test out basic mechanics before jumping in with both feet anyways. When Alternity released years ago it had Exit 23, that was adapted to Gurps and is an excellent "try the rules out adventure". This is exactly what I am looking for.

Tjack Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 If you’re not a fan of comics I don’t think you’re going to enjoy running a Superhero campaign. The same way someone who doesn’t like Fantasy wouldn’t be a good D&D DM. Is this something that your players have asked for? The Hero system is extremely versatile and can support anything from D&D style fantasy to Mission: Impossible type spy stories to Weird West and epic Science Fiction. On this site in the downloads section are manuals for Hero Games Star Trek, both Original Series and Next Generation. I’m not trying to scare you away, and I don’t make a dime off of anything you may buy or use. I’m just someone who finds these rules useful and I like the people here. There are a lot of sites that show off their builds for different characters from both Marvel & DC, and when setting up first time players I always suggest they play a version of their favorite character. That way they have an automatic understanding of how the powers are supposed to work and what that type of Hero behaves like. Batman and Captain America may have similar write-ups but act very differently. Unfortunately Hero doesn’t have a pre gen adventure like you’re looking for, but I think this group can help you find everything you might need for a good game.

Lord Liaden Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Welcome, Phantomxistance! Glad to have you aboard. We're more than happy to assist you as we can. Quick question: Which edition of Hero System is your group playing? That would lead to different resources, depending. EDIT: Assuming Sixth Edition, you might find one of these freebies to your liking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomxistance Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Thanks man, I think one of these will do nicely. I am looking at playing sixth, I have a few books already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the thought flashed through my mind, "that's not going to work out well in the Star Trek campaign"...before I went back an re-read your sentence to see what it actually said.

Nope, her bare toned midriff and thigh high boots had a BIG and lasting effect on me as a young lad. Thank you Nichelle Nichols, where ever you are.

Thank you Nichelle Nichols, where ever you are. Right there with you, Tjack. But for this crossover, I'd rather she wear Leia's metal bikini. EDIT: And this, Phantomxistance, is what we call thread drift. Best get used to it, it happens a lot here.

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Yeah I keep starting on a Champions 101 intro adventure with simple premade characters and a tutorial-like sequence of introducing elements of the game and then I get to working on something else.

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 They do look good and are basic, easily understandable archetypes. I have toyed with all kinds of variants before, like making a spider-man clone called Dr Nope. I want it to appeal to younger players and feel fresh and fun for modern people rather than just appeal to old grognards like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
