Icel Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hello all, I recently ordered my copy of HERO System 5ER, but until it will arrive, I am looking for materials to read. This forum have a lot of stuff, but I am searching for something more organized. So my question is, can someone link me to websites that have HERO materials like character stats, powers buildup etc? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchellS Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials The first thing you should do is check out the Hero Links section on this website for links to various Hero System campaign material around the web. For some 4E write ups of comic book characters you can check out this: http://www.sysabend.org/champions/gnborh/ . You might also want to check out the online USPD here: http://www.herogames.com/USPD/index.htm for power-build examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirViss Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials Check out the "Hero System Genre by Genre" .pdf found right here. I'm pretty sure there is some more stuff in the Free Stuff section that might interest you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icel Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials Thanks for your help. I already checked out the links section in this site as well as the Free Stuff section, the materials at http://www.ogmiosproject.org/ and at varies references on the boards.

Sean Waters Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials Can I suggest you PM Lord Laiden? Can I, for my humble part, suggest this link though? http://www.mactyre.net/october/ Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Raven Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials My website, The Land of Ten Thousand Thoughts, belongs to a web ring of Hero System sites called the Circle of Heroes. Many of the sites on the ring are useful resources for campaign setting inspiration, character design and rules interpretations. Check some of them out. One of my favorite for just character write-ups is The Great Net Book of Real Heroes. It has hero system write-ups for hundreds of characters from fiction. Most of them are from 4th edition, but there's not much difference between 4th and 5th so it should still be useful. I like to use it to look up a particular character I want to model a power or two from to see how other's have done it. Note: My current web site is still under construction and not part of the CoH yet, but my old web community still is, though there is not much useful information there since I'm closing it down.

Icel Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials Cool, I will check those out. BTW, There is any site that have an initials glossary for those confused readers who don't know what all of them means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials Could you specify what you mean by "initials?" I don't know whether you've checked this out on the discussion board yourself yet, but if not you might find something interesting by following the link in my signature below.

By initials I mean those who are used in powers, like IIF, OAF, HKA, RKA etc. (those I mention I already know, but I ran into some others). And I saw the list on your signature before.

And I saw the list on your signature before. Part of the problem is that a full list of these is included in the rule book, and I'm not how much of a copyright infringement it would be to produce such a list here. If you asked about a few speciific ones, we can answer them for you safely without risking reproducing too large a chunk of the rule book.

rjcurrie Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Scavenging game materials Also from the Herogames website This isn't going to be terribly useful to the original poster, because it is mainly a list of abbreviations used to refer to various Hero products and to supplement the glossary in the rule book.
