GM: "He aborts to dodge, adds DCV. Your shot goes wide as you can see.." Player B: "Can I attack?" GM: "Your SPD?" Player B: "3, DEX 12" GM: ".. and 4 CV I see, you're sure to miss - oh what glee" Kind of like Dr. Suess HERO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted to do a Roman Senate game - but I'd use systemless or my own rules for it. I can't see how using the Hero system for it would be any good. Possibly if you redefine what everything represents, or create social equivalents and add-ons. Hmmm Oration used similar to an Ego attack. Influence in the senate as stun Respect/honour as body Laws and works as defences, or possibly faction support and clients as well.. Nah, still use my own system.

I can't see how using the Hero system for it would be any good.It would have to be heavily Skill-based (not "Powers as skills" in the way your post illustrated). Hopefully when The Ultimate Skill comes out Steve will include some notes on running games that are entirely Skill-based, such as those driven completely by intrigue or investigation.

That's "Yaoi" and it's different from Yuri. Yaoi - guy/guy Yuri - girl/girl both have an intended female audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing I know, you'll be telling me it's women who ogle the pics of scantily-clad women snuggled up together. . . . . I mean PRIMARILY! The stories focus less on sexuality and more on romance... in fact many don't even get into sex. If you're looking for girl/girl sex get a prono rag, if you're looking for girl/girl romance... Yuri is a good source. Yuricon is run by a woman (I've had dinner with her a few times as some Cons, cool person). The primary target audience in the US is lesbians, that doesn't mean guys don't like it though. Or at least that's the primary buyer of Yuri.

Curufea Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) That is interesting - I understand that Japanese has gendered language and different words are used depending on the sex on the speaker and/or subject. Are Yuri and Yaori the female versions of those words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arac-4105 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Multiple Personality Hero: All the Players control one character. Does anybody remember the name of the game that actually used this idea? I remember it from the gaming glut of the late 80's/early90's.
