which forum is most appropriate for my posts?

[yukonhorror]

Howdy. I am new. I have already posted a question about a powers I want to build, but I am afraid I may be posting to wrong forum.

 

In short, I am making a very exhaustive effort to convert the final fantasy RPG table top game to HERO.

 

I am doing this for a couple of reasons, but the main reason is because I think the framework of HERO will bring a very good balance to the game in a clean and versatile way. I love final fantasy and I love table top games, but I am lukewarm on the current system (for a couple of reasons).

 

ANYHOO, as this is a fantasy setting (possibly urban fantasy to a degree), should I post in Fantasy Hero for questions concerning how to build things or somewhere else.

 

Once I have met my 10 post minimum and the 2 week waiting period, I'll post all of my development to my blog, but I am DYING for opinions on how to build certain powers.

I would say the Fantasy Hero board is the more appropriate place, except for stuff which is really rules-based. "How do I build X" is fine for this forum, but "here are all the FF spells converted to Hero" is definitely FH material.

I'd put it in the basic HERO system one myself ( Right here ), heh.....This is especially thinking along the lines of "how do I build"....Then again I avoid the Fantasy Threads so there could be as good a place as any, I've just found that right Here, generates the best over all view from multiple angles for How To Build questions....

Thanks. I think with HOW TO BUILD, I'll stick to here. For me posting my finds, I'll either stick them in my blog (when I can access it) or in FH.

 

But for those reading this, I direct you to my first question (already posted), that I need some sort of opinion ruling on.

I understand it is up to me as GM to make final say, but I new to the system, so I am not sure what is most appropriate (especially if I intend on using the HSB).

Welcome to our online community, yukonhorror! (I've been to the Yukon -- I don't think it's that bad.) I hope you enjoy your visits. We're a generally friendly and helpful bunch to newcomers.

 

I tend to agree with Talon as to what type of questions/requests/offerings are most appropriate to which forums. However, for the sake of expediency I'm going to offer you here a few links to "Final Fantasy HERO" materials which may be helpful in your own conversion efforts. They're written for the Fifth Edition of the game, but shouldn't be too hard to follow if you're only familiar with Sixth Edition. And you can always post a request for clarification from us.

 

Discussion and writeups for a number of concepts from the series, plus character writeups based on the setting:

Thanks. The items post looks most promising. Some boys and girls in 2008 made a tabletop game for Final Fantasy http://www.returnergames.com I think is the url. It is pretty well written, and captures a lot of the components of the original final fantasy video games. However, there are components to it that I am lukewarm about. I think HERO will help alleviate my issues with it in a balanced manner.

 

I am VERY new to HERO in general (had the book for about 10 days). over at http://www.penandpapergames.com (a site I HIGHLY recommend to any table top gamer) the D-3 games developers are members (they make a lot of 3rd party HERO material). The lead developer for the Inceptus Terminus world is very vocal about HERO, and got me intrigued. I thumbed through it at a store and decided to pick it up.

 

Thought coming here I could get my questions answered from some old hands. I am digging the math of it (I am an engineer) but am too green to best evaluate construction in some cases. But I am definitely looking forward to sharing my finds.

 

Do people look at the blogs, or should I post in FH for best exposure of my constructions? Would I get in trouble for double posting??

You won't get in trouble if you post something to your blog, and to the FH forum. Probably best if you don't post the same thing to more than one forum, though.

I'd post it in Teh Bunneh's blog.

Dude. I'd say both "Hero system" and "Fantasy hero" sound about right....you might check out Other genre as well....
