Re: campaign start off adventure Nosy question, Balabanto...can you tell me in general terms how it's been selling? I keep thinking that there's people like me out here hungry to buy ready made adventures...does that seem true in your experience?

Re: 3rd edition Supplements

Re: 3rd edition Supplements Yeah, except for that one, I would really like to have the opportunity to buy the old stuff from the Hero Games Online Store as PDF's!

Re: 3rd edition Supplements

Re: Possible HERO System Supplement Kickstarters From Steve -- What Interests You? I would totally pledge $50 to get Dark Champions for 6E (as long as there were guns, lots and lots of guns)! All four of these projects are exciting to me though, including the STORMlords setting, but I would want Dark Champions 6E first/most! Unrelated, I ran across this on successful Kickstarter projects from my favorite web comic where they hit #2 all time for funds raised for a board game project: http://www.schlockmercenary.com/blog/funding-the-dream-ep22

Re: HERO System Equipment Guide So does this have the heroic level guns list like from Dark Champions? And has anyone got the Hero Designer Pack for it yet? Is it complete with lots and lots of guns built out? And ammo?

Re: HERO System Martial Arts Yes! Usually--in my experience--corrections are unheralded and realized by downloading again from the original purchase link.

Re: Google Doc's Templates! Hero System templates: Character Sheets, Combat Record, E Huzah! Thank you, Razoric! http://www.herogames.com/getHDExportFormat/235273/Razoric_Google_docs.hde

Re: Google Doc's Templates! Hero System templates: Character Sheets, Combat Record, E Meh; I got the latest Hero Designer instead; who needs to make their own little spreadsheets when you got Hero Designer!

Re: 6th Edition Books on eReader? I have a Sony PRS 600 'Touch' reader and read hero system PDF's from the store on it all the time with no issues; I believe Sony's PDF support to be the best, at least it seemed so to me when I was shopping around. NOTE: Pages with large illustrations--including maps and charts--do not 'flow' well, however as the screen is only 6" diagonally. I have no trouble--for example--with Fred or Dark Champions but have difficulty with Beastiary and Predators and Conquerors, Killers and Crooks due to all the large illustrations. I tend to go to the computer to read those.

Re: 6th Edition Bestiary & Fantasy Hero Character Packs In Store Hooray! Thank you! Thank you! I know it's hard to predict when a HD pack will be available, but is the 6E Equipment Guide on a list to ever get a HD Pack? The 5E equipment guide never got one, and it is SO handy to be able to add equipment to character sheets.

Re: HERO 6th Edition - GM Screen and Resource Book Would buy this!

Re: The Valdorian Age Love this setting! Really, really looking forward to buying the PDF and HD pack when they become available.

I use Google's free Google docs suite and today on a whim I did a search in the user created, published template library for 'Character Sheet' and found tons of incredibly useful, free, interactive templates in Google Docs. But none for Hero System! The horror! So right, in the spirit of Hero, I should just go build my own, but I thought I'd ask first if anyone else has already built anything for Hero System in Google Docs that they'd be willing to publish as a template? For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, here's a link; you do have to create a google account (gmail account) to create google docs, but not to use already created ones in your browser: http://docs.google.com/demo/edit?id=scADRR92RzU4KYamCfv4S_lC9&dt=spreadsheet#spreadsheet

Re: "Mystic Dart 'only vs living beings'." Thanks everyone! I suppose it really comes down to what the GM thinks a -1/2 limitation justifies in terms of how often someone would otherwise find it useful vs inanimate objects and or undead. The copy editor in me wishes it said, 'not vs inanimate objects' if that's what was intended, but yeah, as GM I'm just going to decide based on what justifies 'doesn't work one third of the time', and my game has LOTS of undead in it!

In the Fantasy Hero Grimoire, is the limitation 'only vs living beings' on the 'Mystic Dart' spell meant to limit the spell from affecting undead

Re: Time running out on Marvel comics on DVD Shameless *bump* I have the complete runs on DVD ROM that I want (X-Men, Avengers, Spiderman, Fantastic Four) and am now thinking of picking up the last couple that I might want someday and would be bummed if I couldn't get them ever (though, yeah, there's always ebay...) which, for me, are Captain America and the Hulk. The complete run of Iron Man already seems to be sold out at Amazon and only available at higher prices, or I'd get that one too.

Re: Narnia fan needed Had to share this! The official site for the next movie due out in May 2008, with the new trailer! I am very excited about it. http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/

Re: Time running out on Marvel comics on DVD Well if I were submitting a wish list to the company for comics to go out and get scanned onto dvd's for me, the old Bill Willingham 'Elementals' would be up there....

Re: Narnia fan needed

Re: What are "vitals" I think that I can provide an authoritative answer courtesy of the latest feature to be added to Hero Designer, a die roller, with a little graphic representation of the hit locations...I just clicked through multiple attack rolls until I got a 'vitals' hit, and...well I think the image is pretty clear (attached if the link doesn't come through): http://img172.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vitalshitwn7.jpg

PC creation guidelines Players: The PC's are humans, mythological creatures, or animals, and are members in good standing in the Inquisition, which stands as the first and last bastion against the plans of the White Witch to return to Narnia through the subversive actions of her secret followers in Narnia. The PC's are all true believers in Aslan, or at least in the goodness of the state and church of Narnia, and would gladly die for their belief in defense of the state and church of Narnia, or of the true faith in Aslan. Characters are 100 + 100 heroic. This represents the pinnicle of veteran development for humans, and may represent a young or barely mature animal or mythological creature depending on which type. No more then 35 points in disadvantages can come from any one category of disadvantage. House Rules: All PC's must take the Psychological Limitation: Loyal to Aslan/Church of Narnia/State of Narnia/Queen Swanwhite, and it must be at 'Total' commitment meaning the PC would choose to die rather then fail or betray the object of their devotion. This is a campaign where I expect PC's to ocaissionally die heroically fighting the forces of evil. Also, all PC's receive the Perq: Low Justice. They will often be sent to investigate far from any castle where a trial can be held, and will be expected to resolve matters of low justice (ie anything up to the death penalty, as long as the accused is not nobility) on their own and report on their actions when able. All PC's have the disadvatages: 'Loyalty to the Queen (or) Church (or) Kingdom of Aslan, total commitment' for 20 points; and 'Subject to Orders, frequently, major' for 15 points. As for weapons, know that this is a psuedo 'swashbuckling' era setting. Bows of all kinds are not used. Hunting is generally done by use of snares which talking beasts can easily defeat, for safety sake. Early fire arms are in use per the following write ups in 'Fantasy Hero'. Matchlock Rifle (RMod -3; Damage 1.5d6k AP-only vs low tech armors; Str min 13; Body 5; Def 3; Mass 1.6Kg; shots 6; Max Rng 185"; Act 11-; Concentration; Requires 2 hands; Extra time-1 turn to reload between shots) Matchlock Pistol (RMod -4; Damage 1d6k AP-only vs low tech armors; Str min 12; Body 4; Def 3; Mass 1.0Kg; shots 6; Max Rng 110"; Act 11-; Concentration; Extra time-1 turn to reload between shots) Combat Luck is available for purchase up to 3 levels (9PD/ED Armor), however it does NOT 'stack' with armor. In combat, hit locations, impairing and disabling blows, weapon breakage, bleeding, and critical hit and fumble rules are all in effect. Additionally, a roll of a natural '3' on an attack roll allows a choice between automatic maximum damage for the attack or automatically hitting the hit location of the player's choice. No PC's can have the ability to cast spells, but mythological creatures may have an inherent magical ability, and humans may have magic items. The 'Fantasy Hero' rule book and 'The Beastiary' will be the starting point for write ups of animal or mythological creatures. Magic: There are three types of magic in the campaign, two of which will be available to the PC's. First - Magic Items from various sources including magic fruit from various guarded trees and magic waters from various guarded pools, and the annual gifts of Father Christmas, which are only received by those who are considered 'good' in balance for the previous year. These are mostly only available to the forces of the church and state of Narnia, which includes the PC's. Second - Inherent magic abilities of magical creatures. Generally only one magical ability per creature (like for example, flight), and they tend to be very focussed on it. This is a big part of why they don't think like humans. Kind of the 'If all you have is a hammer, everything looks a bit like a nail' syndrome. Both the forces of evil and the state and church of Narnia have some varying access to this source of magic. Third - Contrived casting of spells generally through the use of magical components of some sort combined with invocations of various other worldly powers in offer of sacrifice of some sort. This source of magic is only employed by the forces of evil in the land.

Premise Premise: In the long history of Narnia, from it's creation by Aslan when he set the first humans from our world (King Frank I and Queen Helen) to rule and reign, the height of intellectual enlightenment and technological development and political sophistication was undoubtably reached during the reign of Queen Swanwhite, the last of the original line of humans to rule Narnia before the White Witch returned to Narnia to bring about the Dark Age of 'The Long Winter', which literally returned Narnia to a simpler, ruder life wherein which all people and implements which could threaten her rule (firearms, humans, the gifts of Father Christmas, etc) were stamped out and obliterated without a trace. The game starts in the year 700, the first year of the reign of Queen Swanwhite of Narnia. The kingdom of Narnia consists of fortified castles at the center of cities, with the majority of the population in small towns spread throughout the country relatively isolated by wild, thick forests. The Inquisition of Aslan serves the Church of Aslan in the name of the Queen. It has existed as an organization for the last 100 years. It's members are responsible for travelling all throughout the country to investigate possible incidents of secret followers of Jadis, and to handle matters as much as possible on their own judgement due to the great distances and relative isolation they must work with in their duties. Inquistors have an extremely responsible, difficult, and dangerous job. They must be part detective, part wise judge, and part champion at arms. They are usually sent out alone, with a group of men-at-arms to help enforce their judgements. And it is not at all uncommon for them to die or simply disappear without being heard from again when they are sent out on an assignment.

If you--like me--thought it was cool that whole 40+ year runs of selected Marvel comics were available for sale on a single DVD and figured you'd get around to buying them sooner or later, you might want to do that sooner rather than later. I just purchased the entire run of X-Men, Avengers, Spiderman, and Fantastic Four (and Silver Surfer as a toss in) because I learned that Marvel has not renewed the company's license to sell the DVD's because Marvel intends to run a subscription service instead.
