    Sketchpad reacted to Nolgroth in What sort of books would you like see published for Hero System?   
    A Pathfinder-style Adventure Path (obviously named something else) is almost paramount for any genre or setting. Champions, being based on comic book heroes, absolutely lends itself to that sort of thing. We have them all the time in our comic books.  Flashpoint, Civil War, Fall of the Mutants, Secret Wars, and the list goes on and on. Each of those concepts would translate pretty damn well into a series of interlinked encounters and events. Of all the settings that Hero Games has, Champions is probably the most natural to use that style of adventure.
     
    For smaller adventures, those two or three issue story arcs would also work out real well.

    Not just Paizo.  D&D's Forgotten Realms has survived several rule sets and is rolling out again. 
     
    Both Paizo and WotC are putting out not just Campaign Settings, but actual Campaigns you can actually run set in those Settings.

    Couldn't agree more, Nolgroth. I think Paizo has really raised the bar on what a campaign setting and support should look like.

    A setting developed with full support like Forgotten Realms or Golaron. Not just the monolithic setting product, but Gazetteers, Grimoires, Bestaries, Treasures, NPCs and, most of all, prefabricated adventures to tie it all together. If I am dreaming big, I want poster maps, high production quality and extras like miniatures and reusable map assets. Take a look at Paizo. Now rip out Pathfinder and stick Hero in there. Not necessarily the same setting, but certainly the same benchmark.

    Oh heck yeah.  I am making a living wage.  Anything I make from art is gravy on top of that.  And I get paid weekly.  HUGE difference.

    This is for "Heroes & Legends". From About Time! Games. They are
    currently in playtest and have a tenative release date set for late 2006.
    You can check out their website at http://www.abouttimegames.com.
     
    I thought it was a clever tackling of a universal RPG system, instead of the multi figure approach of other covers.

    A big thanks to Jeff Dee for giving me a provisional go ahead on this, and make sure to visit some of the links on the title page as they are worth it for the trip down memory lane.
     
    Okay, the first page is up, my take on a modern version of the Crusaders is now available for purview.

    Well, I offered people effectively-unlimited file space for images when the new policy went into place, but to date there's only been one person who made use of it. So I don't think that the 1 meg limit is an issue. If the thread seems quiet, it's probably just the cyclical nature of things. The time of year may also have something to do with it.

    Yep, that was Underworld Enemies by Chris Avellone. Brilliantly disturbing stuff, and "The Fall of Crusader" was an excellent redefining of the character.

    That can be tricky - the problem with that is that you can easily lose the 'line weight' in an image (granted, that can also be a problem with inking only with technical pens rather than Speedball pens and brushes), making it a bit flatter.
