monster Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Well hello there! This is a message for the board guests.(members please jump on this and help). I've always noticed that there are way more guests on the boards than members, and thats fine. I was a guest for months before I took the plunge and joined. Let me tell you I'm glad I did. these boards are home to some of the greatest people I've come across in A long time! So if you are a guest of our little playground often, I urge you to join. You will not regret it. Hero fans don't bite(unless you ask!). Anyhow, that's my plea to you. join today Hero is the best place to come and "get your geek on" .

ghost-angel Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. We're flattered (Well, I am. Don't know about the rest of them). I can say most of those Guests are web crawlers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monster Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. OOOOOOOOOO. good answer ghost angel. yeah I know that most guests are web crawlers but I want them to play our game too. I want to do my part to make sure Hero is the most successful product line out there. I also took the step and sold all my polyhedral dice. looks like i'm buying star hero monday!!!(sweeeeeeeeet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thia Halmades Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. Don't forget, though, that other systems have their place. While I'm all about being hard core, I'm not going to sell my d20 collection (I play it, for one, that, and I'm rather attached too it). Not to say you SHOULDN'T sell stuff to buy more HERO stuff, just saying that other systems have merits. I don't want you to be like that guy in KIDS who has the one lucid moment at the end of the film, saying "Oh my G-d, what did we do?" HERO is a great system, no doubt, but all of us (well - almost all of us. GHOST ANGEL) are gamers first, and enjoy all games of all stripes. Don't shoot yourself in the foot, s'all I'm saying. But if you're content, hey, worst case scenario, you buy another copy of the book. How many VGs have I bought, sold back, rebought, sold back again, bought again out of curiosity, sold back once more... Oh, and to all you people watching at home. I am the Lord Captain Thia Halmades. And I do bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Cry Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. But I LIKE lurking in the shadows. And I'm not coming out until Thia promises to stop biting - unless I clock him over the head with a brick first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thia Halmades Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. S'alright, WarCry. I only bite if you're a hot lesbian couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. No, that's Cpl., not Cpt. And LCpt. is a fantasy designation I created when I built my own rank & file structure for the campaign. If I weren't so attached to my ice cream cone, I'd explain all this in my sig. And oh yeah. 2000. You've gained a level! You've gained Faction (Hero Board Lords), You've gained Faction (Hero Staff & Owners), You've Lost Faction (Wizards of the Coast), You've Lost Faction (WotC Fanclubs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. I love it when the lone voice of reason gets drowned out. that's what I get for being moderate, I suppose. But who am I to judge? Most of my disposable income goes to Steve one way or another. I still need to buy that freaking mug. I've been staring at it for months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been staring at it for months now.[/quote'] I received one of those mugs as a present, and I must say it is pretty cool, especially its HERO stat writeup on the side. More to the point of the thread, I've lost track of how many HEROphiles mention that they purchase other game books for cool ideas to adapt to their HERO games. (Many players of other games say exactly the same thing about Hero publications, particularly the genre books.) With all the conversions of other games to HERO on the Internet, you can still get quite a bit of use out of the other guys' stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. On the other hand, if you don't join, you can still read all the good stuff that folks have posted, you can't get sucked into an argument you didn't want any part of, you can still shop the company, and you can't get banned. So it's even. But if you don't join, you can't tell us how your group handles things. Makes it seem worthwhile, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thia Halmades Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. Moderation in all things. All other ways lie madness. I think I just repped you, Liaden, or I'd do so again (I like to rep people for agreeing with me - my little way of saying, "Way to be!")

Lord Liaden Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. Just hand off to Mightybec.

pendelfield Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Something for all you guests!!!, and members. Well Monster I agree with you on trying to make Hero the No1 system out there. But none the less I think I'll keep my books from other RPG systems. I agree with Thia on that one, once in a while it is fun toi take a short break from Hero and play something different.
