Posted January 30, 20241 yr comment_2940894 I have a small group of players who have voiced a willingness to try it out. I played older Champions and the original Fantasy Hero back in the late 80's or early 90's, the players have never used Hero System. So which would you recommend for us? FH or FHC?
January 30, 20241 yr comment_2940897 If you're thinking of using the latest edition, Fantasy Hero Complete is your pony. The current Fantasy Hero still needs the rule books, which can be difficult and pricey to find. FHC is a one and done book that includes rules and genre info.
January 30, 20241 yr Author comment_2940905 Sounds like what I need. I have 5e hardcover but I'm not sure where my 6e is an all-in-one is best. Thank you.
January 30, 20241 yr comment_2940906 If you’re interested in having the Core Ruleboks: Personally, I prefer the pdf’s with bookmarks and search features.
January 30, 20241 yr comment_2940912 I recommend Fantasy Hero Complete, because it has all the rules you need without the vast amount of examples, background, campaign concepts, etc that the full FH gives you. If you need ideas and tips on how to run a fantasy game as well as a huge amount of thoughts on fantasy, gaming in a setting, the kinds of fantasy games there are, creatures, spells, magic items, etc, Fantasy Hero works.
January 30, 20241 yr comment_2940924 Besides, if you played original FH you likely already have those ideas and other knowledge.
January 30, 20241 yr comment_2940928 Did FHC ever get revised? The lack of proofreading was hard to miss in my hardcopy.
January 31, 20241 yr comment_2940997 Another vote for FHC here, but I have to say that I vote that way specifically because you said this: 21 hours ago, magnon said: I have 5e hardcover And because you have played 4e FH. You have everything you need for setting detail, building wrapons, races, equipment, etc. FHC gives you a solid distillation of the current rules and just enough genre trappings to make what you already have one-hundred percent useful with the latest rules.
February 1, 20241 yr Author comment_2941094 Thanks for all the input folks. I'll get the FHC for now and pick up the FH and HS6e later. My wife accuses me of being addicted to buying gaming material. But I only have two book cases full of gaming material so that can't be true.
February 1, 20241 yr comment_2941125 Mine are 2.5 m tall the same long and I have 3, one of which is half full of war games. I once thought I would collect all of the different RPG's in existence, when I exceeded 100 games I ceased to do so.
