Tasha Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Has anyone given thought to creating a Free RPG day Adventure and PreGen characters for Champions? (or even Fantasy Hero or Star Hero). We have the combat rules down to 2 pages. Keep all attacks to Normal Attacks to be easy and the Power/Spells very conversational in the way they are written.Something like this could give potential players a way to try out the rules. Heck a Combat arena with a plotline attached to it could be a fun way to introduce people to the system. What do people think of this?

JasonPacker Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think it's a brilliant idea. I think I'd recommend Champions and MHI - the two new targeted flagship products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Tasha, Didn't you bring this up a few years ago? That said, a good self contained HERO one shot would be fantastic. But the deadline is really close. 21 Feb 14 to formally commit. 2 May 14 for FreeRPG to receive in hand a minimum of 700 copies so they can box'em.

Spence Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Now a free intro adventure plus PC's that could be downloaded by us to run as a Demo would work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesguy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I like this idea. I will look into a couple of my FH adventures to see how to make them work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's ok if they get this ready for 2015... Maybe set up some guidelines and make it a contest. Bragging rights for the winner and after FRPG Day 15 there will be one or more demo one shots for Download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraven Kor Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 OK, is there a good, free module I can look at as a template / outline for this? I have never been able to fully run a module and have thus never really bought any or looked at them as more than just fodder for ideas to pull into my own games.

Christougher Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 What's the limit on size of the freebie? I have an elemental fantasy setting that might work well as a Hero demonstration because it has four different types of magic. But it would require a bit of overhead and explanation of Hero rules.

I have never been able to fully run a module and have thus never really bought any or looked at them as more than just fodder for ideas to pull into my own games. KK, I have run FRPG day modules and played in them several times. I have a few of the modules in hand as I type this and they basically come in two types. First we have the intro demonstration module. Page 1 is usually titling and legal stuff. Part 1 is a quick intro to the rules for the GM. Part 2 is a short simple complete adventure with 1 or 2 simple maps. The adventure is usually designed to run in the 2-3 hour length leaving an hour of the standard 4 hour demo slot for introducing the system to the players. Part 3 has complete character sheets usually including any needed player information sheets to make playing easier. Second we have the modules that assume the GM will know the rules and only provide the adventure and the pre-gen PC's. They do have usually have a set of quick-start rules for free. But you usually have to get those separately. I have 11 FRPG modules in PDF dating from 2008 to 2013. They are all free so I can zip them up and shoot them to anyone that wants them. 2 Battletech RPG 2 Cosmic Patrol 3 Hollow Earth 1 Legend of Five Rings 1 Savage Worlds 1 Shadowrun 1 World of Darkness If anyone wants it let me know. I will most likely need to send it via Dropbox so I will need an email address. PM me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasha Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I was noticing some mini-adventures on the Hero Store website. Perhaps one of those could be converted to 6e and gussied up for a FreeRPG day offering. Just putting an idea that may be do able for Hero. Taking advantage of material that already exists to help keep the costs down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
