Re: Champions Universe I have to agree with the Lord. The book is well organized, easy on the eyes, the text flows and is entertaining and the artwork enhance the whole atmosphere. Very nice. I just realized that the back cover is missing from the PDF files though.

Re: Fantasy Hero Preorder Available I also think it is a very good (or is it evil?) scheme. It is my prefered method of buying for the "can't wait" books as long : 1) The discount on the bundle is substantial. 2) The S&H cost isn't a killer. 3) The PDF is "complete". That is it as a cover and a back cover and is in color if the book is in color. 4) The wait to get the book isn't too long. So far, DOJ's scheme respond to all four so I bought H6th, CU, APG and FH that way. I bought Champions, Ultimate Base and HSMA in the FLGS as I will for HSB eventually. From what I have seen so far, FH is really good!

Re: FANTASY HERO Sneak Peek #1: The Cover! I really liked Elmore's cover on FH 4th while Storn's cover on FH 5th didn't do it for me (too cartoonish for my taste). This one is just awesome. Easily the best of the three. Dynamic scene, atmospheric lighting, desperate situation, a big warrior fighting with two weapons, it's a winner.

Re: LUCK as a Characteristic Why? In GURPS they are called disadvantages as well. Sorry for the derail, couldn't resist...

Re: Lucha Libre convention game! Oh and two other things. First, the 6E sheet looks even cleaner than the 5ER one just because there is less characteristics. Second, is there an HD export format for this?

Re: Lucha Libre convention game! Sure, it is entirely possible this was a concious decision. And I am sure if there is no speed on the sheet it is because it is not used. The other things "missing" are the CVs but again, my guess is that for a con, there is not many maneuvers used aside from those on the sheet and when a special case arise (like a move-through for example), teh bunneh just work it out in his head for the players. All these points in my opinion help to make the sheet simpler and cleaner and give the impression HERO is easy. All good!

Re: Lucha Libre convention game! These character sheets are great. They are effectively hiding a lot of the non-essential numbers sometime giving the impression the system is complex. Looking at this sheet, HERO looks as easy to get than say Savage World. On Silver Sapphire sheet there is no Body value though.

Re: (6e) Classified: Characters Wanted!

Re: (6e) Classified: Characters Wanted! Wow! I have just finished a few weeks ago my character for an upcoming campaign. It is a youngish Superman knock-off called Paragon but dubbed Kid Paragon by the press. He is a Flying Blasting Brick. My alternate character was a Batman knock-off (character sheet yet unfinished). The name is still in the air but The Fox was one of the runner up!

Re: Surely You're Joking, Mr Long. So far I only have very minor "meh" in 6E. First I'll echo Hugh on DEX.

Re: Was Fantasy Hero 2nd ed self-contained? How was it?

Re: Adventures Into Darkness Arrives Jan. 12!

Re: Scourges Of The Galaxy A few reasons maybe. I wasn't even aware it was out. The last update (october 17) state that "We’re still waiting on Scourges Of The Galaxy to arrive at the warehouses". Others may be in the dark. I still buy mostly from my FLGS mainly because I love to have a look at a book before I buy it (see below). The store doesn't offer previews of the products. It is in my opinion the main flaw of the store. Heck, when available there is a better view of the cover on Warehouse 23. Aside from that, if quality is good, I intend to buy it... as soon as I can have a peak

Re: GURPS and Hero: Characters Jimmyjimjam, this one is a good ressource but be aware it's based on GURPS 3rd so be carefull with STR conversion.

Re: Need some name help: French Supers There are a couple of options here : Force = strenght Fort = strong (masculine) Forte = strong (feminine) I apologize for the many posts. I had to choose between replying individually (which people might find annoying) or a multi-quotes long post (which people might find annoying). In the end, I went for the easiest. DD

Re: Need some name help: French Supers Tison

Re: Need some name help: French Supers Well I would assume that Le Baiser secret attack is some kind of kiss of death not his/her ability to speak French

Re: Need some name help: French Supers It doesn't sound right. Vigoureuse Liberté? I would say Chatouilleur together they defend the freedom of the French people and the world. Nice ideas.

Re: Need some name help: French Supers I have no clue

Re: Need some name help: French Supers Monsieur Parfait

Re: Need some name help: French Supers Hey guys, Allow me to correct some mispelling for you (I will try not to make some myself ). Keep in mind some expressions may be written different ways so I expect some people to come back and tell me they were right as well. Fleur de lys Technically it is Le Fantôme but I guess it would be acceptable for a female to be called La Fantôme. L'Hypnotiseur La Colombe Blanche Hope that helps!

Re: Astonishing, if true... Holy guacamole!!!
