it's very much slice of life. quirky characters. lots of odd locations. it's ver sweet, rather than action oriented.

I would disagree, but YMMV.

Go take a look. It is on Netflix. Yes the same universe. Same currency unit of Woolongs.

I love the 80's! The Music, the Movies, Reagan! I also like the cast for WW1984. Prdro Pascal is a personal favorite.

I haven't had a TV since 2006, so I watch a lot of YouTube, and occasionally Netflix on my iPad. Movies I rarely see on opening day and wait for the reviews from trusted sources/friends.

But it isn't UBO. it's a focus and applies it to the wearer. but the focus can be passed to, or stolen from the original wearer. The regeneration does not continue to grant the original wearer if someone else is wearing the ring. Sometimes common sense should take precedence from the rule hacking.

So... with the partnership program, does anyone have a game in the making? I don't, but I could... maybe. But this could be an approach people could take for hall of Champions. (sic)

from 6e rules: Inaccessible Foci An Inaccessible Focus can’t be hit with a Grab or otherwise attacked for purposes of taking it away from a character while that character is in combat (an Inaccessible Focus could still be targeted at -2 OCV to hit it for the purposes of damaging it; see below). However, someone who spends 1 Turn out of combat can take an Inaccessible Focus away from a character (or otherwise deprive him of its use and benefits). An Inaccessible Focus cannot be removed from a character who’s struggling or resisting. Some common examples of Inaccessible Foci include powered armor, magic rings, a belt, and similar items.

Suspension of disbelief is a player, and a "meta" function. The characters may not know the moon is not made of green cheese, but the players do, and that is often difficult to overcome. Not all of us are perfectly immersive role players. Sorry.

I would say that would be a "surprise/ Non-Combat situation" rather than in combat. Unless the thieves were beating the victims until resistance was overcome...

Only if they are unconscious. I would say IIF, or OIF, if it flares brightly while doing it's thing. Only removable in non-combat situations.

There is a YouTube channel called Nerdrotic, that I subscribe to as it delves into the fan Media, and the host documents this. He is probably one of the most disappointed Dr. Who fans in the U.S. He's pretty much disappointed in everything lately, and notes the rigged results of numerous old franchises of SF,, once beloved by the fans, but in rapid decline due to "agendas".

Okay Next Character. This is my second Champions Character, and I played him nearly exclusively for about a decade. He had a LOT of experience, when I kind of gave up on 4 color play and slid almost exclusively into FH. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Sgt. S. M A. S. H.* the U.S. Army Powered armored suit from the 1980's. SMASH.hdc *Suit, Man Amplification, Standard, Heavy.

Well Hero Tried that with MHI. What we need to look at, is analyze it like an Air crash Investigation Team, and figure out why that one went wrong? Was it internal (as in the presentation by Hero), or was it external? (The author, or the popularity, or lack therof?)\ Learn from mistakes,, don't sweep them under the rug and forget them.

Oh they do. If one watches the ratings of things like Dr. Who, or Bop, the rating will low, briefly go to zero, and then have a mysterious rise. SW:TROS has been at an improbably fixed 86% since early in its run. Rotten Tomatoes has become a shill site since Captain Marvel.

I hate the “fate points, bennies, luck” mechanics that have come into vogue lately. It is too narrative focused, and makes dice results transactional, rather than final, and I have found slows down the game. I also think the mechanic tends to both push things into a narrative formula, and remove the true fear of failure, encouraging the PCs into thoughtless actions, because of, “I saw them do it in that movie”, or “Pizza Man did this in Issue #134, against the Purple People Eater”, rather than looking at the map and weighing the situation. I think that the fate point mechanic also doesn’t as much emulate a narrative, as much as it emulates a lazy narrative. Genre conformity, and a formulaic results to me are the products of lazy or timid writing. Superheroes start with a premise and a tradition, but the good writers explore the implications, and push the state of the art forward, rather than retell the same bedtime story every night to stroke nostalgic feelings. Now I play and accept the results of the dice without modification. If the dice don’t lie, one takes the situation more seriously. In a recent Pathfinder game, a character of mine was blinded, and rather than complain about it. I took the minuses, and where the party was, and the membership of it, my character had no access to a Restore spell, or Remove Curse. So it looked like the blindness may be permanent. My plan was to try and survive long enough to justify the Blind Fighting feat. I play the hand I am dealt. Now, people have the right to the games they choose, so if one has the desire to play within a fairly narrative focused style, then so be it. Mechanically, in the systems was built for, it it does work (see: Savage Worlds) to simulate a narrative progression, but lot of those systems are more for the theater of the mind, rather than the tactical clarity of Hero. The mechanic, to me doesn’t fit Hero.

What? You don't want FUN is your game?!?!?!😁

Carole &* Tuesday The spiritual sequel to Cowboy Bebop. Same Director, Same Universe, Totally different Tone. Story of a pair of 17 year old girls trying to make it in the music business,.... on the martian colony.

Wellll, HD was supposed to poutput that as BB Code to format it. Can't quite figure it out. If you have a good idea of how to display a character opn the boards here, that would help, Otherwise I edited it to include the *.HDC file.

This is a Sixth edition of Felix 9, polishes up by user: Lensman here, as I have little 6th Edition experience. This is the same Felix 9 I had as a Player character for many years, as well as one of the mains in Carl Rigney's campaigns. He was then submitrted and approved for the Hero Publication "Allies" (pp. 79-81). I am doing this on the slim chance I might be able to get into a game at DunDraCon this weekend, but who knows, maybe two of the old GMs may show up. Felix 9.hdc

It doesn't any more, I was Vacuumed up by Showtime.[= a couple of days ago.

Phil, I think the theology trope of gods are powered and elevated by the strength/number of worshippers is a reflection of The Hero System itself , in that as a beak from the ineffable stratification of D&D, or the incomprehensiblility of Gloranthan cults, that even from the earliest days of Fantasy Hero, people have wanted to stat out gods, and then figure out how to power them. Whether the gods are real or not, you can crank out a lot of power from a OIF temple, full of worshippers, with a priest leading the flock through weekly sets of gestures and incantations. What is done with that power is directed by doctrine and theology, and also maybe a bit of political self interest. Also in the early days, RL organized religion, the denigration of Table Top RPGs, May have boosted or created a number of atheists in the hobby, who use that mechanic to create gods for their campaigns, without having to concede the point of divinity or a “higher power”. I created a magic system for the Jaggiri on similar principles, of group casting inside of defined spaces , though their power was not made for ecclesiastical reasons, but just for controlled brute power. Hero is not well suited to “soft” magic systems, and that also includes “higher powers”.

When i was in the hospital over the summer of 2018, the TV was on one channel 24-7, and that was the Heroes & Icons channel. As I remember Every Thursday they would show two back to back episodes on "Blacksheep Squadron" and that gor a smile out of me, watching the Corsairs, and Conrad out thinking his opponents in the air. Robert Conrad was "The man's man". Apparent he was a student of Bruce Lee, and was the terror of his stunt men on his shoes. Vaya Con Pistolas...

Nope. They are full of ideas. Lots of them! They are just out of good ideas.

The Tomatometer lies. You have to separate the real critics mostly from newspapers, from the fawning courtiers of the online access media. Even the audience score is unreliable for any Disney Company film. The audience scor for SW:TROS has been a fixed 86% audience score, since they purges and reset the score in the first few days of release. Nick Lasalle, critic for The San Francisco Chronicle called it the worst movie he has seen this year. https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/review-movies-dont-get-any-worse-than-birds-of-prey-this-is-the-bottom
