Sorry, Steampunk, not pulp. I'll re-post int 'other' topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT3C2kdMHOs

Challenge made! From the roll20.net community forum posts: "Hero G. Permalink Quote Flag I've been looking and asking around in the forums whether there are other roll20 users wanting to play in or run Champions/Hero System games, and there seems to be a number of is, so could Champions/Hero System please be added to the Looking For Group choices in search and drop down and player profile game system drop down? 11:37AM (21 hours ago) Brian Mentor Permalink Quote Flag New systems are added to the list when there is a sufficient number of games being run with that system to warrant it. If you want another system add, you need to get more people playing that system! =) Until then, use "Other" and specify the exact system in the game description. 11:49AM (21 hours ago) Edited 11:50AM (21 hours ago) Gauss Roll20 Mod Team Mentor Permalink Quote Flag I suggest you use the "Other Games" option and then put the name of the game in the title or description. The Devs will consider a game for the list when it shows a wide following (as judged by the number of threads and listings)."

Thank you, Rigel!

Great book! Collects and updates creature write up from just about all the different 5th edition Hero System books and does great conversions and updates to 6th edition. I like to get my books in PDF, and some of the 5th edition books that this gathers creatures from were not available in PDF at all. Great value; good, detailed write-ups, nice illustrations, and good coverage of multiple genres as well as extra rules for custom hit locations and how to use for different genres.

Has anyone used this (Acquitaine) as a stand alone campaign setting without Tuala Morn? How's it stand on its own? Are there many references in it to other products? Does it refer primarily to 6e products, or does it lean on Tuala Morn (5e)?

It really depends on the specific flavor of fantasy you want to run. I depend heavily on Hero Designer and the Equipment guide and Hero Designer pack for the Equipment guide, and the Bestiary and pack and Grimoire and pack too, but in a pinch, I could run a whole campaign just using the Monster Hunter International book and designer pack. If you buy sourcebooks with pre-made and statted (in Hero Designer character packs) monsters, equipment, spells, etc. than Hero System is actually easier to play with fewer rules and exceptions to remember than most versions of D&D! It's having to build everything yourself that adds most of the complexity and most of the pages to the rule books. The best part of Hero System is that you can do anything...and the most intimidating part is that you can do anything if you build it yourself. It helps a lot to have a specific vision of what you want to do.

Yes! More Kazei 5! My favorite 6e setting!

Must be inventorying the warehouse!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!

Nah, WOD has books just as big or bigger than the individual 6e Hero System books for POD on DriveThruRPG... http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/112871/Werewolf-The-Apocalypse-20th-Anniversary-Edition?manufacturers_id=1

I talk up Hero System whenever I get the chance, but honestly the forum was always my source for company information, and it seems to me that has slowed down as well, presumably not because of technical issues; we were getting a weekly news update from Jason for a while...I miss that.

Aren't all of these in the single, 6e Bestiary now? Also, I like the monster write ups in (6e) Monster Hunter International for my Fantasy Hero settings, even though they are 'modern'; it is easy to use them for other time periods.

I've generally used settings by version, and right now I've moved to 6e first because I was thrilled at that 6e books (Hero System Equipment Guide, Hero System Bestiary, Grimoire, etc) gathered together all the content from a bunch of different 5th edition books, and then I found that I liked the mechanics better too. So, I currently use The Day After Ragnarok , Kazei 5, Monster Hunter International, and The Widening Gyre for setting information, and I have only retained 5e content from two products from previous version, converting Valdorian Age and Hudson City because I like them so much, they are worth it to me.

I really want players to only have one character at a time, so while they could make up their "next character", I wouldn't look at it until they needed it; that said, I'll roll over XP to new (replacement) characters.

Wow...had...not seen that before.

This is exactly why I think it has to be a Kickstarter...if the fans are willing to in effect pre-order the RPG by funding the Kickstarter (and the author is willing to really invest in getting the fans out there to support it), then you know you have a license that might be really worth the shot! From what I saw, PS238 was always more of a print medium first though; the physical comic books came first, and the web site was careful not to put up any strips until well after they had been published in print. I suspect that a majority of its fans never even knew about the RPG! In fact, I never saw any mention of the RPG on the author's web site, though I could have missed it. My impression was that the PS238 licensed product was basically trying to outreach to Hero System fans and kids of Hero System fans rather than tap into the existing PS238 fan base.

Thanks! My inspiration is the MHI RPG Kickstarter! To me, it is the perfect form of "Dark Champions Complete"!

By the way, one possibly underserved, passionate fanbase is for web comics. Order of the Stick had a tsunami-level successful Kickstarter project that funded waaay over target, and Schlock Mercenary has had a very successful Kickstarter project too, I believe. Can you imagine a Hero Games licensed, Order of the Stick RPG on Kickstarter in lieu of a "Fantasy Hero Complete" rulesbook? I know the comic was originally based on D&D, but it is way past that now, and Hero System does ANYTHING better! My personal wish would be for a Hero Games licensed "Schlock Mercenary" RPG in lieu of a "Space Hero Complete"! Another benefit of basing an RPG on a popular web comic would be that getting the art for the book should be much easier and more economical too.

When a player is missing for a session, it might be a good time to do a "meta-arc" session where the characters find--or have to fight to obtain--some kind of archival record that hints at a previously unknown agenda by the builders of the vault, with possible plans for leaving it...kind of ala "City of Ember" style. Just a thought, doing that could introduce the thought of leaving the vault in a "contingency plan" manner, setting up your future crisis that makes it an immediate imperative.
