AdamLeisemann Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) A friend worked for a consulting firm that was very rigid in its badge naming scheme. The badge was always: First name Middle Initial Last Name Since my friend had no middle name, he was issued a middle initial of "N" for "No Middle Name" -- like I said, rigid. There was another employee there named [roughly] James Phillip Enis. They relaxed the naming rule. Good thing they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeropoint Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: Genres HERO GAMES may want to avoid (intended to be humorous) Junkyard Wars Hero? After making several rolls on various mechanical/engineering type skills, combat is finally resolved by having the team make luck/unluck rolls. The first team to collect ten unluck points loses when their machine breaks. One die of unluck is added for every two points by which an engineering roll is made during the building phase.
