  1. I'm reasonably certain that Raimi's script and idea for the third Spider-Man movie was the Sandman story, and the studios forced Venom on him for extra moichendizing.
  2. I post em as they come in the book, unless it says otherwise in the post - he has no personal immunity on his explosion punch in the book, so I didn't give him one in the writeup. The only consistent change I make is a lot of the time I'll skip 1/2 END on 3rd edition or earlier because everything costs half as much endurance from 4th edition on anyway. But hey, don't use them if you don't want to, this is just for fun and to help increase interest in old Hero products. Its not like its costing you anything. If you want to change something, download the attached hero designer file and tweak it.

  3. Having some problems logging into Hero Games, I did a password reset and the password that is sent to me... doesn't work. I tried it twice So here's tomorrow's post, assuming I can log in Maelstrom
  4. Re: Fantasy Codex If anyone wants to order a copy I have the full Codex in various forms (hardcover, color, soft cover, black and white, etc) along with other products at Lulu.com
  5. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far RJCurrie Steve Long is a big boy, he doesn't need you leaping in to his defense constantly, does he?
  6. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far I liked the concept behind TORG better - the world setting and why it worked that way - than Rifts, which was sort of generic. Almost everything in my opinion works better with Hero, but I'm always finding new and interesting concepts in other games that I import to my game, like the career path and goal ideas from Aces & Eights.
  7. Re: Starting Point Totals Well when I saw the icon in the choices it didn't look like that, it looked like a guy with big wide eyes :/ I can't change that now.
  8. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far Sure, but the presentation was different; we got hints of really neat stuff but no super controversial stuff until after the book came out. I don't think Mr Long's agenda is to keep things fresh, just for the sake of freshness. Gamma World got left behind for lack of support and crappy game mechanics. It was a pretty sucky game with a neat world concept. Hero doesn't suffer from terrible game mechanics or age (its pretty fresh still). I think the "agenda" if any is something like this: 1) Capitalize on the MMOG release to freshen and expand sales of Hero Games 2) Touch on some things he's always wanted to do (e.g. de-figure figured characteristics) 3) Update the rules with things that have come up in questions and discussion on here and with friends.
  9. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far I think some of the opposition or dismay again comes from how this preview was handled. If before 5th edition came out, someone posted from a chat these tidbits: -Aid costs twice as much -Damage Shield requires continuous to stay on -Regeneration is no longer a power -Instant Change is gone as a power -Both are now folded into complex rule-bending constructs under Transform and Healing People would have been pretty dismayed too... because its out of context to all the other stuff 5th edition brought us that made people go oh cool! Some might have been happy, some might have even said "wow" but would most? The reactions, I suspect, would have been often quite negative, with some even just deciding they'd pass. So far, what we've been given isn't a very tasty preview, for many players. For some its so frustrating or annoying they've vowed not to even buy the new edition.
  10. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far See I can't understand that. I dislike a few of the announced changes, but at the same time I haven't seen them implemented or how they'll be done. If it is true that the alternate framework can be used to re connect figured characteristics and that can be done easily with the same results, effectively that change will have been negated for me. And I can always use Comeliness anyway, just because the book ignores it doesn't mean it can't be put in any games. Its too soon to make any sort of declarations about the system or its changes. I'll be getting the book and then we'll see. Nothing about this smacks of the absurd deconstruction and MMOG-ification of D&D, for example.
  11. Re: Starting Point Totals See that's just it. I sounded preachy to you, but was I really? I'm sorry if asking the question the way I did set you on edge, I didn't mean to, as I said. There just seems a presumption of Calumny here that isn't justified.
  12. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far I think that sometimes a lot of strongly conceived disads on characters can become intimidating because a good GM will want to play and involve all of those and if there's a lot, it becomes difficult to give any or all of them the justice and attention you might think they deserve.
  13. Re: 6E Rules changes confirmed so far It depends a whole lot on your character conception. Some builds just don't lend themselves to a lot of disads, some do. Sometimes the requirements of GMs tend to make people get a lot of filler just to have the points, sometimes people are really good at building a very flawed character and have more points in disads than they are required to have. It's pretty variable, in my experience.
  14. Re: Starting Point Totals I'm sorry you took my post to be saying that, it wasn't meant to be. Try reading it as if your best friend was saying something you agreed with and see how it sounds. Is it just me or is everyone super touchy these days on the boards?
  15. Re: Starting Point Totals You know, Pattern Ghost, if I was referring to you, I'd have said so. I was simply responding to the multiple posts as I said above, where people were commenting about how they had to change everything now.
