  1. Re: Just saw 6th Edition and got a chance to leaf through it... IMO, to combat page creep, they should put more emphasis on the Basic Rulebook. And maybe change the name to Easy New York Teenybopper Starter Edition or something. How many posts have we seen on here about people confused about what exactly they need to start playing?
  2. Re: Do opposed skill rolls work? In English usage, it's dealer, not card giver. But otherwise, you're correct.
  3. Re: THE BOOK OF THE EMPRESS -- What Do *You* Want To See?
  4. Re: 5e Vehicle Design Problems
  5. Re: 5e Vehicle Design Problems Or you could just ignore it, and say the weight is whatever you think it should be. How often do you feel that somebody being able to lift & throw the plane is going to be important to the game?
  6. Re: Gunslingers, Shootists, etc... My TV & DVD player are right next to my PC, and the movies are on a shelf out in the hall, so I already did.
  7. Re: 6e books, 4 of them for "core" rules? If you look up "damning with faint praise" online, you'll see this quote.
  8. Re: Physical Strength that affects the whole object... Telekinesis with no range?
  9. Re: Gunslingers, Shootists, etc... In The Man with No Name: Actually, he was able to detect that it was Tuco shooting, not what make of gun he was using. Especially since Tuco had a new pistol since the last time they met. Should be some kind of "detect gunslinger".
  10. Re: Super bargain! Copy of Character Creation with damaged covers only $19.99! Do the PDFs have damaged covers too?
  11. Re: Blind Immortal Sohei The Miyamoto Usagi comic has Zato-ino, the Blind Swordspig. He had a discriminatory sense of smell as his targeting sense. Until Usagi cut off his snout.
  12. Re: Vandaleur Twins I had a dream last night where I was watching a movie about Gayman and Flaming Boy. They were played by the guys from "Will & Grace", but Will was the sidekick, and the short black-haired guy was Gayman. Anyway, they were also in a movie theatre, and they were... /*shudder*/ talking about their relationship. That's when I woke up in terror. I blame you guys.
  13. Re: Hypothetically and unofficially, what would you like to see in a Mecha Hero book? Transformable ones like the Veritechs are easy enough to do with Multiform. The system problems come in with the combiners, like Voltron, or the Power Rangers and stuff like that there.
  14. Re: 6e Rule Book If you are trying to get other people interested, you aren't going to want to whack them with ten pounds of books. You should also get the Basic Rulebook, and just show that to other people at first.
  15. Re: Vandaleur Twins Since the sexual orientation, spouse and/or significant other isn't mentioned for most NPCs, what makes you think some of them aren't? Unless you're asking for something like Gayman! The Gayest Superhero Ever!
  16. Re: Vandaleur Twins In the context of this thread, "Eww, TMI!"
  17. Re: Eyes up here, soldier! Don't forget her nemesis, Manly Man!
  18. Re: I still don't understand why Linked is always a limitation The main difference between linked and multiple attack is that with two separate powers you can use either one. Just A, Just B, or A+B. If B is linked to A, you can only do B if you also do A. Theoretically, there is some cost to this. Either more endurance, more charges, or if want to do only B and not A at all.
  19. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO Oh, I forgot about Power Skill, that sounds good.
  20. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO OK, so it's something they only use themselves. Unless they are picking up clouds and bonking bad guys with them, or building cloud bridges that other ponies can use, I don't think I'd bother making them pay points for that.
  21. Re: CHAMPIONS BEYOND Sneak Peek: The Cover!
  22. Re: Hero Dice ...collector's item, but still in demand. Bleh, I hate d6 with numbers. I can only use d6 with pips. I would like some Hero Dice though, just make them with pips.
  23. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO So what exactly is cloudwalking? Something that lets other ponies walk on the clouds? I think I would go with Flying, usable by others, only on clouds, limited to running speed. Do they need extra limbs for the wings? Do they ever actually do anything with them, like bonking the bad guys on the head?
  24. Re: Camera Or, you can not "build" it, and just say "OK, you have a camera". Remember, you don't need to stat out everything.
  25. Re: The HERO System Advanced Player's Guide I'm buying more PDFs these days. After 30+ years of accumulating RPG crap, I'm running out of room. Still have plenty of Hard Drive space though.
