Never leave a great story up to luck.

"It's a shame that a lot anime from the 80s and earlier will never be produced for the English-speaking market. One outstanding anime film that most English speaking fans have never heard of is Arion, a harsh, over-the-topic epic about the Greek gods wiping each other out. This is the sort of serious anime film that can only be compared with the likes of Akira or Mononoke, and I simply can't put into words the kind of ambitious fantasy imagery it contains." You want it? I got a bootleg copy around here somewhere. You wouldn't beleive the amount of fansub's exist out there.

True, but Macross (Robotech), Transformers, and the Battletech board game have been around for ages. Why are people only now starting to pick them up?

I noticed someone mentioned Deathstalker. Note that Deathstalker and the warriors from hell has be MSTed, which makes it much more watchable. Also, one more to mention: SHREK

This question actually came up very early on in my game. The answer is effect based. Characters taken as followers have character statistics and can therefore do anything you ask of them. ( Fight individually, forge a new sword, etc. ) Characters that are not taken as followers, while they still exist and are loyal to the player, do not provide much in the way of "usefull skills or combat." It is accepted that they are there more as flavor text and it ends up that they cause or are in volved in more problems than thier worth. Basicly, the followers are your closest advisors and generals, or anyone in a command position.

Allow the player to 'buy off' the "only through animal follower" limitation on the clairsentience and telepathy power. As they put more points into it I would create a scale. The lowest point would be "only through animal follower." The next level could be "Only through animal follower and weirwoods" or "only through dreams."

Looks good to me. The only part I would add is an experienced level to simulate the effects that Brandon had late in book three where he spoke to John through a tree.

Convert the light into heat, (not hard to do) and you have an extremely efficient way to produce electric power by the standard method (boiling water to turn a turbine).

I think part of the reason for the recent popularity in Mech games is Microsofts Mechwarrior computer games. Plus the resurgence of BattleTech in the form of the Mechwarrior: Dark Age clix game. I'm currently working on converting seveal of the mech's to Hero. Also, the Kazai 5 book that's available for download from the e-books section of this site does a good job with mechs.

Perhaps a "special edition" hard cover if the soft covers sell really well?

FH is what GURPS fantasy should have been.

Legend The Princess Bride Ladyhawk Gladiator (historical fantasy) The dozen or so different TV movie renditions of King Arthur Robin Hood: Prince of thieves Willow Can't think of any other Hollywood fantasy movies right now, but if you expand to the Anime venue... Record of the Lodoss War Those who hunt elves Princess Mononoke Bastard!! Ys Orphen El Hazard (kinda) Rayearth (kinda) Many more that aren't comming to mind right now.

I've found that all the books I've had the binding shaved off then three hole punched or spiral bound wear out faster. Nothing beats a good hard cover binding.

My local gaming store owner suggested this when he saw the size of my FH folder. I think it would be worth the extra cost to have FH in hard cover, especially considering the page count. If not in hard cover, then maybe three hole punched like the old Rolemaster books used to come.
