Re: Solo Campaign...suggestions All of the above. And a one on one game is perfect for working on stories for the alter ego (if he or she has one). Sure, everyone wants to fight the bad guys, but its nice to tackle other problems the PC might have. Work, family, school, etc. Peter Parker/Spiderman is perfect example. This is easy to do with one player, instead of a bunch of people sitting around waiting for you to get done with one character.

Re: All HEROes Must Be Eaten: zombie survival horror If anyone is a fan of zombies and the genre, I strongly recomend the Zombie Survival Guide. While it is humorous at times, as you mentioned, it is written in a serious tone. It is also a great resource for any game involving zombies. I have played AFMBE a few times, and it was pretty fun. As for the book itself, the zombie creation section would be the most useful. Suprisingly, there are a lot of options to make very different types of zombies.

Re: Introduction/ myself and to the Hero System Thanks guys. I forgot to mention, I did purchase Hero Designer. I'm using it as learning device to get familiar with character creation. I put one thing in at a time and reference the book to understand where the numbers came from etc. (The little notes with a brief description and page numbers is very useful) Thanks a lot, Nyrath! (blatant sarcasm) Here you talk about Fantasy Hero, I'm definitely going to check out. I will always love fantasy settings but the D&D rules are just getting too crazy. It'd be nice to try something new for a change.

First off, I'd like to say Hi to everyone. I've been scanning the boards over the past few days and I like what I see. Everyone seems eager to help and there are a lot of cool topics about this awesome game. Like most people, I play D&D. Our gaming group(4 yrs) has played a number of games: D&D, Modern, Star Wars, Oriental Adv. etc. Frankly, I'm bored with d20. It's played out and out of control. Right now, our group is in a funk. Nobody knows what to run and everyones bored with the same old cliches. I've made comments about wanting to run a modern era game, but had no ambition to use d20 for reasons above. Our last gaming night (We are taking a break because of vacations, summer jobs, etc) we just sat around and talked about our future gaming plans. My friend reaches to his bookshelf and pulls off Hero5th and says "This is what we should be playing". He's played it a few times with another group. I started flipping the pages and I realized something. "Wait a minute! This is Champions!" He went on to explain how you can make anything you could think of, and so on. My interest and imagination just got a shot of adrenaline! That night I went home and searched through my old gaming stuff and found it. First edition Champions in all its typed glory! I flipped through, trying to remember everything (I think I was 13-14 when I played) The following weekend, I pick up Hero5th and Ninja Hero (meant to get Martial Artist but took wrong one to the counter) Oh well, a couple days later back to the store to get MA and Champions. Yeah, I'm in to it now. So here I sit, reading rules and scribbling ideas down. I'm planning a modern martial arts/techno campaign. As mentioned on the board elsewhere, It is a lot to take in at once. I may pick up the Sidekick as well to get started. Well, that's how I came to the Hero System. I'm already pleased with it. Hi again, and thanks for reading.
