Oh, I got that.  It's just that Seattle is a real mess of a drive from up here that can easily be 90 minutes depending on getting past Everett.

I cannot recount the last time I fired up my HERO brain and counted body... since the 5er days...   Father, it's been 15 years since my last HERO session...
 
Tonight I introduced my regular Sunday group to HERO 6e! We are starting with the Fantasy Complete for a handful of sessions (using the pre-gens and adventure/setting from FHC). After a few sessions we will create new characters and adventure for a few more sessions!
 
Eventually, we are shifting to a sci-fi setting of my own creation for (what I intend/hope) will be a long-term campaign. I wanted us to get familiar before we jumped right in.
 
I was touching up the characters to give them some equipment using Hero Designer, and I wanted the Elf Bard to have some Elven Chainmail. I grabbed the regular chain in the prefabs, changed the weight from 'full mass' to 'half mass' and viola! Magic armor. In a couple clicks.
 
I like the Half-Elf Warrior Mage build! That is an ugly contender.  I picked out my favorite 8 characters that I want to use for some convention games this year. I decided the Lizard-Folk Shaman knows how to turn into a giant snake (of several varieties) or a velociraptor (as a revered animal of his clan! - yes, he has a skull from one...). I just copied out the pages from the Bestiary for quick reference. This group didn't pick the shaman... . They went with Human Barbarian, Elf Bard, Sprite Druid, the Half-Elf Warrior-Mage, and I tossed in the Human archer as an NPC.
 
I'm a little rusty...  but it was fun and I'm certain this group will pick it up fast.  I missed the speed chart. Seriously, I love how speed works. I also missed all the cool maneuvers and the in-play flexibility. One of the crew was looking through the book and exclaimed "you can use another character as a weapon"! I think he's sold. A couple of the GURPS people are still on the fence, but I'll win 'em over.

Long live the speed chart! (I love it too)
 
Winning over GURPS players can be challenging. You have to somehow detach them from their realism bias and get them to fully embrace Hero's cinematic bias instead. In the past, I found it difficult to get some GURPS players to realize that, for instance, immunity to aging shouldn't be a 25-pt power unless the effects of aging is an important part of the campaign (which it has never been in the 35+ years I've been using the Hero System).

Hello, my name is Trentin and it's been WAY too long since I've played Hero...
 
:-D
 
I played the heck out of 5er, been a fan for a long time. Revisiting the 6th edition and really liking what I'm seeing. I'm hoping to create some digital tools for the game, and some adventure frameworks for "pick up and play". First I need to immerse myself in the game again and start GMing it. Looking forward to more discussions with the fans!
