Thanks. Wow nice to see such fast responses. Thanks for the input. I will get a copy of 5th edition ASAP and give it a look. For the money lets hope that it is good, although it sounds like it is well worth it from what everyone is saying. After doing some more reading myself I am noticing quite a few similarities between HERO and GURPS. I am hoping that by me saying that I will not be hung up by the neck, just an observation. Hey lensman what part of SanJose to you live in?? I spent the first 11 years of my life living in Campbell. I used to hang out at the "Game Table" and "D & J Hobbies when I was younger. That was way back in the day though. I can remember when D & J was barely big enough to walk into. Just curious it's always cool to talk to folks from my old home town area. Again thanks all for the feedback.

Hello folks. I am new to the forums as well as the HERO gaming system. Actually I think I have one of the older editions of Fantasy Hero out in the garage on a shelf someplace, but it has been some time since I thumbed through it's pages. I keep hearing good things about the system so I am thinking about taking the plunge. I am getting very tired of the whole d20 thing, I still play it but it just seems to have something missing IMO. Ok so now for my questions. Am I safe in assuming that I will need the HERO 5th edition rules as well as Fantasy Hero in order to truely be able to enjoy and run a game?? Or can I just use the Fantasy Hero rules? Silly questions I know but I am trying to decide how much money this little venture is going to cost me and if it will be worth trying. I wish that the area I live in supported more gamers, I might stand a chance of finding a HERO group then, but alas it's a fairly heavy d20 gaming community right now. So I am going to be acting as a trail blazer as far as HERO goes. Alright enough of that. Thanks in advance for any information that you folks may provide me with. Take care.
