Diamond Spear Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Re: Unofficial Welcome Mat (For New Members) My old friend the HERO system comprises all the books through the 4th edition (which take up two whole shelves); reading the site last night' date=' it seems HERO has been through 2 more editions since last we met. The differences don't seem particularly striking thus far, but are there things I should be told so as to understand what folks are talking about? [/quote'] Nope only one more edition (5th).

Susano Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Re: Unofficial Welcome Mat (For New Members) Nope only one more edition (5th). He might be thinking of 5th, and 5th Revised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] The key concepts of Hero haven't changed since I started playing with 1st edition. If you aren't playing using Fifth Edition (5E)/Fifth Edition Revised (5ER), there may be some costs that have changed, or other changes to specific areas, but they shouldn't keep you from understanding. My biggest challenge when I first joined the boards was figuring out all of the abbreviations everyone was using for the various versions. The newer posts are more consistent, the really old ones.... Like I know has been mentioned in numerous other posts to newcomers, if you have a question, go ahead and ask it. The folks on the boards here are friendly, helpful, and very creative. I'd also highly recommend looking at 5ER if you haven't already. Scott Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Re: Unofficial Welcome Mat (For New Members) What does make Ninja Hero so good? Personally I was referring to the Asian Bestiary books. While I own NH, I haven't really read it cover to cover, so I'm just gonna say - it's a pretty good resource for setting up and running a Martial Arts based campaign. It's on my schedule for a full review at the begining of September. I'll tell you exactly how good of a job it does then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
