Re: Has anyone tried doing an Hyborian/Conan game using Fantasy Hero I am using Savage Worlds for my new Sword and Sorcery game. Initially started out Hero but I wanted a change. My next Harn game will use Hero - probably finally take the plunge into 6th ed.

Re: Do any of you still play 4th edition and FH Circa 1990? I have all the 6th Ed stuff. I am just not that fussed about using it.

Re: I hate naming villages/Kingdoms I love translations:) Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu means The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one

Re: Do any of you still play 4th edition and FH Circa 1990? I have been thinking of just sticking with 4th Edition seeing as it has served me well enough for the last twenty odd years.

Re: I hate naming villages/Kingdoms Here just have Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.

Re: Fantasy worlds you had to "rework" years later once you've grown up and knew bett I can

Re: 6E - Low Fantasy Hero - Game Balance Issues - Advice Requested You can also get characters to spend points on things like Area Knowledges (they have spent three weeks in some town trudging around shops, inns and so forth then they learn something about the place). Likewise languages, Knowledges about people and politics. Of course, you have to give them reason to realise that non-combat skills are important too. Don't forget making the combat tanks suffer from DCV modifiers and so forth (If they insist on fighting with all their travelling and camping gear on their backs add some more negative modifiers - there was a reason armies had baggage parks).

Re: New to running a Fantasy Hero game I usually give 1-3 per adventure session (which may be over several game sessions). On occasion, when players make me laugh, grovel to me about some game mechanic or other or otherwise amuse me I also give out fractions of an XP. They do add up. Conversely - pointing out GM inconsistencies usually gets fractions of points removed:)

Re: Would you marry a near-human alien? Would I marry a near human alien? What a stupid question. I already did. She certainly isn't from Earth. There can be consequences to intra-species intimacy though. http://www.roboticbees.com/2010/04/schwimmer-jones-strange-bedfellows/ and http://www.roboticbees.com/2010/05/schwimmer-jones-the-dawn-patrol/

Re: Looking for a source of Victorian Miniatures Only six years out of date but check http://www.oldglory25s.com and check out their 28mm Westwind figures. Great Victorian figures in the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide and Jack the Ripper ranges.

Re: Your favorite SF gear. And don't forget a towel.

Re: Your favorite SF gear. You need to read The Killing. A Strontium Dog story in 2000AD comic. The Napalm Blister Blaster (both sizes) featured.

Re: The fine Elven Mithril/Mithral Shirt from the Lord of the Rings movie The Cave troll might have rolled 3 bod or some other crap roll. Happens all the time in my games.
