Hi!
I am considering starting a fantasy hero campaign. I have used hero system in the past for Super Heroes, but have never gone the fantasy route. I have always wanted to try a fantasy hero campaign, but I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to answer for me before I begin, based upon your own experiences.
1) 5th or 6th Edition? I own both, but I only have 5th in dead tree version (I own both 6th edition core book PDFS, and a PDF of Fantasy hero). If I go with 6th edition, how is Fantasy Hero Complete?
2) Campaign life and Advancement. I like playing in campaigns that progress slowly over time. My typical campaign runs for several years. One of my bigger concerns for fantasy hero would be the linear experience point increases of characters, and the concern of a character getting to good to quickly. For anyone who has played in long term FH games, has this brome an issue, and if so what have you done to address it?
3) What supplements would you recommend? Ive listed the books I have here. Are there any others you would recommend? The world is largely a gritty lower powered medieval fantasy. I expect I;ll need to pick up the bestiary. Anything else?
Thanks!
