Michael Hopcroft Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Heh. That reminds me. The other day, I was musing about the viability of a relationship for my Teen Champions character, who is a succubus (and will, obviously, be keeping her baser impulses to herself). I'm musing about the specifics when Josh bursts out with, "Sex is not combat!" But, especially if you're young and nobody can tell you you're wrong, love is a battlefield.

AliceTheOwl Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Oh but WHY?

Hmm remind me of my old 'Porn Beech' campaign, sort of like Scooby Do (solve the weekly crime/mysterious happening) but the PC's were all members of the adult entertainment industry and each had one 'power' based upon their erm.. speciality Not sure this was a good way to make my first post here Vadrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if d20 can have it (The Book Of Erotic Fantasy, but the Valar Project, Inc.), then why not Hero! (Seriously, though, I suspect that Hero would still to a better job of handling the subject the d20 ever could.) Well, do we really need detailed rules for sex? Admittedly, I can see where some folks want to incorporate sex into a game, but most gamers are heterosexual males, so going into detail is guaranteed to be awkward. Even if the whole group is gay, it'll be awkward because we're all taught socially that sex is naughty. This is why so much of our humor revolves around sex; because we are socialized into being uncomfortable with it. So any sexual rules should be sketchy IMHO. And here's an approach for those who want it: Costing much like a Professional skill (heck you can even replace it with a PS like "Prostitute" or "Porn Star"), Sexual Performance (CON based skill) is an 8- everyman skill for all genres (unless the character is geared to not be sexually chapable, which would be a physical limitation in this kind of game). Rolling for this skill only involves the following question: Was it pleasant for your partner? A successful roll says you managed to provide a good experience. A failed roll simply means it wasn't thrilling. A really bad roll means it was a painful experience, causing damage (usually 1d6, not applying PD as it's internal damage. This can change depending on size differences or the careless use of certain implements.) This is just a simple thing I thought about in terms of how to work it in there. (stop snickering...)

AdamLeisemann Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Oops. Well, at least the rules I presented will by no means replace real life women, unless you play Rolemaster or love Palladium's character creation systems (i.e., have a dice rolling fetish) Back on topic: HERO 9 from Outer Space.

I've found detailed romance/sexual scenes are very common in various types of online gaming. Female even in all male groups but women seem to be slightlyt more intersted in it than guys at least until the ball (so to speak) gets rolling.
