Re: Pulp Adventures -- What Would *You* Like To See?

I like the sound of 'Curse of the Mummy' and 'The Locomotive Pirates' myself.

Mysteries in RPGs can be difficult to run, but I've managed it quite well a few times. I really enjoy them.

Re: Why are there no Fantasy Hero adventures / Modules

I like complete adventures, written up in the system they're written for. This is because I am a busy person, who doesn't have *time* to write a lot of stuff in addition to other module prepping, to get ready for a game.

And I call out people who say adventures are only dungeon crawls, and only sell well for d20, by pointing to the rich and varied history of adventures for Call of Cthulhu that are out there. There's some that are very bad, yes, but a lot that are very good. Now, if CoC can do it, why can't HERO?

I'll have to keep an eye out for Fantasy Battlegrounds, now that I know what it is, and try to set up a FH game in Denver sometime. (In my Copious Free Time.)

Re: Comments on sexism and racism at the outset of Pulp Hero

There's a reason you can't purchase "Song of the South" on VHS or DVD.

Well, can't purchase it in America. I remember renting a Japanese Laserdisk of Song of the South a few years ago, and watching it, and I'm sure it's now available on DVD in Japan.

Quite frankly, it's not that good of a movie, overall. You're not missing much.

Re: Why are there no Fantasy Hero adventures / Modules

To my knowledge Hero Games doesn't do marketing for any of its products. I can only say that the information about FH:B has been on the website for about 2 years in the products section: part of 2003 as a next year's product' date=' all of 2004 as a this year's product, and all of 2005 as a last year's product. So from that standpoint FH:B got as much marketing as every other Hero product produced.[/quote']

 

Hm. But it's only recently that I've started really hanging around this webpage, because it seemed to me that all of the Hero gamers in Denver had been kidnapped by those pesky space aliens.

 

Perhaps it would be better to say that it's named unfortunately? I think 'Fantasy Hero Adventures' better underscores what the book is about than 'Fantasy Hero Battlegrounds'. Ah, well. Too late now, and it's not like Steve Long needs me following him around and giving him unsolicited advice.

 

"Damn you space aliens!"

Re: Why are there no Fantasy Hero adventures / Modules

Fantasy Hero: Battlegrounds sold poorly. If you don't have that adventure then you should pick it up.

Fantasy Hero: Battlegrounds was marketed poorly. I only recently found out it had adventures in it!
