Lupus Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Makes sense. D&D has hit points, but HERO has a block mechanic and 1d6RKA penetrating autofire x20 attacks. That'll whittle away any number of hitpoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimJesta Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I so nominated it for the hall of fame. As a die-hard Hackmaster fan, I really, really hate d20. As Im also a hardcore Hero fan, I REALLY dont like that system. Its too...watered down and obviously not made by gamers.

Err... did you realize that one of the three principal designers of D&D3 (Monte Cook) used to be the HERO System line editor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm... okay. That was pretty much a total non-sequitur. You realize these links are jokes, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmerged Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Monte's an interesting writer. Even when he's *dead wrong* or laughably off-base, he has a way of expressing his opinion in a way that is enjoyable to read. His "Orc and Pie" is an absolute classic. Just don't suggest that level-biased systems have inherent, fatal flaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this makes perfect sense. Dogs hunt in packs. They use group tactics, so they win in group fights. Cats are solitary hunters. They use solo tactics, so they win one-on-one fights.

Agent X Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 In their funny challenges they have hotdog being beaten by hamburger. I submitted that they spell hotdog properly: hot dog. Strangely enough, this correction meant all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i did know that. But I never liked Monte's work all that much, but he great on a team. Its just his solo stuff that irks me. I dunno why either. It just seems silly or....uh... watered down... -=Grim=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstarfire Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 real meaning SO, does this mean hero's more popular, or just that gamers spend a lot more time researching hero information, than they do d20? My money's on it being the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kolava Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I seriously doubt that more Hero research is done by us then by d20 players; the results are probably skewed because "Hero" is a more common word to non-gamers then "d20" is. Think about it, they have many many suplements and individual books, and a wider array of personal websites full of houserules to be searching for.
