Mister E reacted to Meganeura in Welcome to Hero Forum - Please Introduce yourself (especially Lurkers)
Hello there!
How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)? It's the name of one of my characters on Champions Online - she's in my avatar as well.
What was the first tabletop RPG you played? Dungeons and Dragons... Probably 3.5? I'm relatively new to the tabletop scene (at least, compared to some of you who seem to have been at this much longer than me!)
What was the first tabletop RPG you GMed? None yet... But I'm in the process of setting up my first game - of Champions! I'm really looking forward to it. I've never done this before, but it should be a lot of fun.
What are you currently playing/GMing? See above.
I'm totally here because of the Champions Online MMO - when I learned it was based off a tabletop RPG I took it upon myself to track down the books - ended up with a pile of 6E books and an urge to start a campaign. Still in the planning stages, but I hope to start by early November.

Mister E reacted to Sean Waters in Experiences teaching people Hero Game system
True, but look at the page count and the length of each entry. Look at the number of points you now use to build superheroes with.
Sometimes a clot of simple things look like a complicated thing.
I mean, I agree with you: I can build a Hero character from scratch using a pencil and paper and not referring to any books, by and large, unless I want to do something odd, and I can't do that with many other systems, because there is a more logical way to build characters in Hero than in other games BUT there is a big threshold to get over to get to that point in terms of ploughing through the books to see what all the options are. Gosh, what a long sentence.

Pre-built characters are gold.
HEROSystem is not finished. Asking a new player to make a character is like asking that person to make a whole new game.

My experience of introducing people to Hero has taught me that, whatever you do, you can't let them read the back cover or paraphrase it to them in any way. The moment you tell people that 'This is a system where you can build any character you can imagine', you had best prepare for a hefty session of clarification and disappointment themed along the lines of '...if you have enough points'.
First time out, just had them pre-built characters and get on with it. Hero is a very good gaming system in its own right, the character creation part is great fun too, but not essential to enjoying the game.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat
"Bilbo, you must cary the ring!"
"Why not call an Eagle?"
"What?"
"Call an Eagle. It'll be easy. We can get rid of the ring in a day or two, tops."
"No! Man's destiny is his own! The Eagles must not interfere!"
"Get serious. I'm not a man, you're not a man, the Elves and Dwarves aren't men. Also, I've read the books, and the Eagles save you and join the final fight, as well as rescuing me and Sam. So, you're full of it. Now call a frickin' Eagle."
"You smug little twerp! All of you are "men"; you're an idealized country squire, Sam is your dogsbody, the Elves are the aristocracy, and the Dwarves are Welsh miners. Now get on the road!"
"No."
"GET OUT!"
"Or what?"
"I shall recite deeply bad poetry at you!"
"You smegger. Fine."
"So, how about a quick one?"
"Pervy Hobbit fancier."
