Re: Status of Narosia I am thoroughly looking forward to the release of Narosia. At the risk of sounding impatient, I was wondering if there was any recent status update. The last update on Kickstarter was on January 19th. I figure that good news is better then bad news, but that bad news is better then no news. By any chance could we get an update (or better yet, pseudo-regular updates)?

Re: Champions Villains 3: Solo Villains Kickstarter is LIVE Currently (as of 04/27/2012) it is at $3,535 of $14,000. Still plenty of time to join us backers!!!

Re: HERO System Grimoire I ordered the dead tree and pdf tonight. Not sure if I like or understand that the book's cover is not included in the pdf. Instead the pdf is a zip file containing three files: the book, cover, and index. I hope in the future they return to including the cover in the main pdf.

Re: Delete this, please... So does Escafarc have the record for the longest period prior to thread necromancy? Almost seven years!!!!

While perusing my copy of Fantasy Hero 6e, I realized there were multiple references to Hero System Skill (HSS), including page references. I had not seen any announcements for this 6e book, but assumed it would be The Ultimate Skill updated for 6e. What really attracted my attention were the page references, since I could not imagine these would be available unless the book was in the layout stage. After a quick review of The Ultimate Skill, I realize the page references matches without exception. Has anyone heard if they plan to re-release The Ultimate Skill with a new title and/or new cover when it is time to re-print? I doubt any major revisions are planned given the inclusion of page references in FH6e. Was there an announcement that I missed?

Re: Steambirds CURSE THIS THREAD!!! And my loss of sleep. However, I finally finished all the levels without being injured and achieved the rank of National Hero. Yay me! Now I return myself back to my regularly scheduled life.

Re: Title Tag Returns! Ring of Dragon's Flame Having followed the regal wizard back across the wall between our dimension and his, the heroes are taken to "the prison". There, they are shown Traxis, a venerable and immense dragon, breathing his fire at a mystic circle, where the flames form a wall from floor to ceiling. The wizard explains to the heroes, that before them lies a mystic cell, which contains the immortal scion of the dimension's god of battle and a demon. In the distant past, the "Prisoner" was narrowly defeated and then entrapped in the most powerful mystic bindings that could be devised. The benign Traxis has dedicated his life in the service of the people, powering the enchantments. Alas, the "Prisoner" is an immortal and although dragons live scores of human lifetimes, Traxis is ancient for even his kind and will soon breath his last. The heroes' assistance is needed to protect the people of the wizard's dimension and our own. Title List: 1) The Europe Connection 2) The Blind Date 3) From the Mind of a Child

Re: No more Figured Characteristics?! I need to add to Chris Goodwin's rep so badly.... but alas the system says I need to spread it around first! P.S. I think removing figured characteristics allows for more options in character generation and otherwise makes the game more accessible to new players.

Re: 6th Edition Books on eReader? I have a Kindle 6" US. The new pdf functionality makes the pdf's readable, since you can now rotate the screen manually and there is some zoom functionality. Unfortunately, when zoomed, you move around the page in large chunks. Since the Hero pdfs have 2 columns (or more if you cant the side bars), the level of zoom may be less then optimal if you want to read the entire column with out have to page back and forth. However, it is at least now an option. I moved all my Hero pdf files to my Kindle. They all open and display reasonably well, with the exception of Champions Powers. The cover shots and the interior title page of Champions Powers (first 3 pages of the pdf) cause my Kindle to run slowly and/or lock up. Additionally, when those pages are displayed, an error box appears which says that not all elements of the page could be rendered. I advise Kindle users, to open the pdf and press the page next and wait patiently until it advances. Repeat until you are at the table of contents. Then never go back to the cover. The remaining portions of the pdf that I have reviewed, seem to work fine.

Re: Great White Hunter's Bestiary - 6e or 5e? Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I can't rep you at this time.

I was curious. Was the Great White Hunter's Bestiary listed in the Online Store written for 5e or 6e? It is listed under 6th ed Rule Books, but I thought it was completed last year, before the release or 6e.

I noticed a slight change in the velocity addition in 6e2 vs. Champions 6e martial throws (Str + v/5 vs. Str +v/10). The new velocity addition seems consistent throughout the Champions pdf (Kinetik, Green Dragon, Pulsar and Agent minions). Was there an errata or change between the volumes, or is this a reduction intended for just supers campaigns?

Re: Announcing Kazei 5, Second Edition In the Plot Seed side bar is the text: I think you meant, "there are sure to be some strands scattered inside."

Re: Post "gotchas" here I was also surprised to see that Change Environment can be used to target an individual in 6e. In fact it is now the base for buying it, with comments indicating that it is commonly bought with the Area of Effect advantage. Interesting change! (and yes, I meant that I had not seen the others in 5er, but I forgot to look at force field. Thanks! )

Re: Post "gotchas" here I do not believe there was anything like the Allocatable advantage to Resistant Protection (previously Armor) in 5e. (6e1-276) I also do not see the Impermiable or Protects Carried Items adders either.
