I'm currently in a quandry. Half of the players in my group are belly aching about having to learn a new system for the upcoming campaign, i.e. FH. This campaign is going to be a continuation of a previous campaign that was played using D&D 3ed. After playing under those rules for six months the games became more like torture than play. I know some people are in to that kind of thing, but I'm not. I started looking for alternatives to D&D. When I asked by local game store owner he gave me several options: Rolemaster, D&D 2nd ed, Gurps, Exalted, etc. I was almost sold on Gurps when I noticed this thick black tome in the generic games section right beside the Gurps main book. Fortunately, my local game store owner was very knowledgeable and had played Hero before. We discussed the rules and the play style, after which I bought the book. ( Shameless Plug: The Gatekeeper RULES! Best gaming store in the mid- west. ) Since then I've become a devoted hero convert. I've converted everything to FH and started where we left off in my campaign. What would be the best way to show these guys that FH is far better and easier, once you get the hang of it, than D&D?

Has anyone taken the time to convert George R. R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" aka, "The Game of Thrones," characters into hero? I'm currently running a FH campaign with similar characters in it and I'd like to compare.

Lord of the Rings. Must have Lord of the RIngs. It might also be a good extra to have some references to George R. R. Martin's "Game of Thrones" considering how popular it's becoming.
