here's my advice. it comes from quite a bit of gm experience. the most important thing you can do is know how to say "no" to players. if you think something is unbalancing or could take away from the fun of the game, don't allow it. it's that simple. and it's not that hard....say it with me...."no". hope that little tid-bit helps you Willis

hello, I'm new to the hero system, and I'm wanting to run a campaign using the fantasy setting with ships (boats) that travel through space. sort of like spelljammer, but not exactly. more like a pirates of the caribbean meets star wars type thing. does anyone have any advice as to how I could do this? would it be better for me to use a different system since I'm not completely familiar with this one? I like the flexibility of this system, and all the options, but if I can't do it I need to look elsewhere. any help would be appreciated. Willis

I've been looking at the core book for a day or so now, and reading these forums. I've never played hero and have no one in my town that has played either. does anyone have any advice on learning the system? it's a bit confusing to me right now, so any advice would be appreciated. I keep seeing abbreviations for things, like until, and fred, but I have no idea what those are or if they'd be helpful. so if anyone has anything helpful for me, I'm all ears.....er, eyes... thanks Willis

hello everyone, I've never used the hero system before, but it looks like it might be best suited for what I need. I was wanting to run a superhero campaign. I don't want anything TOO difficult to use since I'm not really a very experienced gm. how does this game rate on the confusion meter? I was looking at mutants and masterminds since I'm familiar with the d20 system, but it looks like that one's set up for min maxing. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks Willis
