Laundry Knight Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hello, all! I bought the PDF versions of the two main books and Champions supplement. I haven't had a chance to play the game, but I have really liked what I have read and have played around with character creation. I expect to pose some newbie questions, but none come to mind right now. Anyway, I am curious if any long time players have made Hero System versions of popular characters not licensed by Herogames, like Superman, Batman, Star Trek, James Bond and so on that might be good for comparison as I attempt to make characters. If I have posted to the wrong location I apologize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Re: New Here Well, Surbrook's Stuff is the canonical site for stuff like that. Killer Shrike has an excellent site as well. There is also an extensive list of sites in the, "Links" section of Hero System Resources (accessible through the main page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Re: New Here Welcome aboard! I've posted a few 6e versions of the JLA in the thread linked in my signature below. I also did the original drafts of the versions of Jason Bourne and Samurai Jack on Surbrook's site. Enjoy and stay clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuSoardGraphite Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Re: New Here Just do a search for any specific character you are intersted in. Many of the major fictional characters from superman to conan have been written up, discussed and re-written on these very message boards. In fact, writing up characters from fiction is one of the favored pastimes of a majority of the members here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Re: New Here Welcome Valkyrie... err, Laundry Knight! Yeah, just post up any questions you have, folks around here are pretty easy going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Re: New Here Did you check out Surbrook's Stuff yet? If you're looking for a character adapted from fiction or comics or almost anywhere, that's the first place to look. Then do a search here on Hero Games and find several threads of people saying "No, that's not right, here look at MY version of Batman/Conan/James Bond/Aunt May!!" Lucius Alexander say hello to the nice palindromedary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laundry Knight Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Re: New Here Thanks, all! And for the record, I have never gone by Valkyrie on any board I have ever been on. The Laundry Knight reference refers to a collection of short stories I have written but not published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Re: New Here Hello, and welcome! Also google The Great Net Book of Real Heros. It has a bunch of comic book characters written up (althought in 4th ed). And several of the same written up by different people, which can give you an idea of reaon of effect.
