Korren Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Bad Idea: Gothic Hero Worse Idea: American Gothic Hero "Summ'ns at da dowah!" (That's "someone's at the door" with a heavy southern accent!) Hey! I liked American Gothic! I was sad it got canceled! And hey' date=' I liked Changeling. The hardcover edition's magic system was a lot better than the stupid cards from the softcover. I liked Mage too.[/quote'] I liked Mage a lot, too. My 3 favorite systems: Hero (Very specific powers), Mage (very generalized powers), Amber Diceless (VERY generalized powers)... odd, huh? I have to say I liked Changeling 1st edition.... my name is on the playtesters list! Good Idea: Golden Age Hero Bad Idea: Retirement Home Hero Should read: Good Idea: Golden Age Hero Bad Idea Golden AgeD Hero All kinds of ideas spring up from Retirement Home Hero. Horror (As all things flow from and to Horror): Tragically, our elderly tend to be marginalized, it would make for a great group in a Horror campaign (Of course you saw a ghost Grandpa...)

Horror (As all things flow from and to Horror): Tragically, our elderly tend to be marginalized, it would make for a great group in a Horror campaign (Of course you saw a ghost Grandpa...) Supers: An old threat rises up from the past, the younger supers don't know how to handle it (Think Supers version of Space Cowboys), or the young supers are missing/killed you're all that's left, or see Horror but with super powers (Sure the Scarlet Skull's dangerous we'll take care of it gramps...) Oddly enough I joined a game on Hero Central because I thought it would be a fun game concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
