The problem with "A Hero in X Published world" is that pesky IP thingie that gets publishers sued or at the least ceased and Desisted. Any "homage" to a published IP will end up looking like the Author's idea of the world.

 

 

Not to mention that it sounds more like a conversion guide than an actual setting they way Doc D presented it.

Didn't the free upgrade to 10 expire a few months back?

The official date was July 29.

Only Steve Long can answer that question for sure, and he doesn't answer design questions.

Before he was ever given the MoS director's position, Zack Snyder was on record as not liking the character of Superman. IMO that should not be the person directing a movie about Superman.

Exactly this. I felt the same about Jar Jar Abrams helming anything with the words "Star Trek" in the title.

It looks like Narosia is indeed just this...

 

Shipping to UK not expensive either. I guess I know where my next £40 will be spent...putting my money where my mouth is.

 

I missed any chat and talk about this. Did it feature much on the boards??

It ran the rounds here when it was a kickstarter campaign. Then there were delays, so you can imagine the back-and-forth on that. In the end, they delivered, which is a lot more than can be said for other game projects on KS.

 

True, but the first post says

 

 

Which

 

1) has some interesting implications for keeping that secret - "people see her as they want to see her" but cameras for example do not want to see her in any particular way. Anyone knowing the character's secret identity will recognize them in the footage. Anyone not knowing the character will realize they saw a different face than the footage shows. And anyone with the footage can start printing up posters with the character's face asking "Have you see this person?" or put the photo in the newspapers.

 

2) has implications beyond keeping the secret - even if the setting for some reason doesn't include things like cameras, the fact that no two witnesses describe the same thing may get noticed and remarked upon. "This is impossible" declares the detective, "there's no way one and the same person can look and sound like James Earl Jones, Grace Jones, and Tommy Lee Jones!"

What does a palindromedary want to see?

I know what the OP wrote. Bigdamnhero missed the reference to Secret ID. Just because it's in the title doesn't negate the fact that the OP did mention it.

Scott

The palindromedary didn't need to reply to me to make the other points.

But the OP didn't mention SID, so I get the sense he's looking for a broader disguise ability.

The Title of this thread is "Protecting your Secret ID with illusion."

So, if the Regen was 1 BOD per day, would you slap a huge advantage on the Resurrect adder to make it 1 BOD per hour? I don't think coming back in a day instead of an hour markedly reduces the value of being able to come back from the dead, nor do I think it's really well-defined how rapidly one recovers from death using resurrection. If I wanted to rules lawyer, after 1 hour, you recover 1 BOD. You are still at negative BOD, so you lose 1 BOD in post-segment 12. On that basis, 1 point of Regen can never resurrect anyone.

The application of Regeneration stabilizes the person bleeding out. Steve clarified that point here: http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/93653-resurrection-amounts/?hl=resurrection

Those optional characteristic rules are from The Ultimate Vehicle. The base 5ER and 6E rules don't include those options. There's no reason you can't use TUV with 6E.

Interesting read (obviously I can't verify this personally):

Dang !

 

I missed the KStarter !

 

Is there a way to buy it anyway somewhere ?

It's still in production. I'm sure there will be an announcement when it's available in the store.

So do only backers have access or is it for sale?

Backers only. Right now you can purchase the PDF of the original book, and also a copy of the archives Susano worked from. I'm sure the new book and PDF will be available shortly after the backers have been sent their copies. I thought Jason posted somewhere about it, but I couldn't find it (or it may have been for another kickstarter).

I didn't pick up the 6E version of Fantasy Hero -- did that book reprint the official Hero Mass Combat rules? Those might work for a "horde" of opponents, if they don't have too many exotic attacks, like Flashes or Drains.

Yes it did. It starts on page 227.

(Sorry, no link) There's a petition at change.org to shut down rotten tomatoes because of all the bad reviews of the movie.

Sounds like you're making the guns Obvious INACCESSIBLE foci, rather than accessible. Not only will this have an affect on taking the guns away, it also affects the points.

I use Foxfire for the internet.  I tried Internet Explorer to open the link and it does not work for me either.

Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and IE are all working for me. Depending on what error/message you get it could be something on your machine, or getting from your ISP to wherever the material is hosted.

The site does not work for me.

I'm seeing it just fine.

And someohw that means that it's too late to completely reimagine and rewrite  the product, for some reason?

For this thread, yes.

Although I just now saw this thread (focusing too much on trolling/browsing the Superheroic threads), I would prefer option 2.  I have CC and would rather have a "fantasy" supplement with all kinds of goodies for GMs and players to use as guidelines.

 

However, I do understand the desire for FHC.  Some persons would rather play "fantasy" than "superhero" and might be looking for a different system to try.

 

Guessing you can't have the cake and icing?  IOW, do both?

Fantasy Hero Complete is already a shipping product. It's been out for over a year.

Its been out for a while now (at least three years).

It's actually coming up on 4 years.

@OP: Haven't seen or heard anything about this for a long time.

RAW?

Rules As Written.

My Player does not want to lose his Duplicates if they die. 

 

How do I build that?  

 

QM  

Not directly part of the duplication power in RAW. You could always set up some sort of resurrection.

If you look at extant Trek rather than McQarrie's design, it looks like A Klingon D7 back (triangular and lowered nacelles)  and Fed Saucer. The music got decidedly drum based and Klingonish when that part of the ship came into view. I'm cool with that.

 

I just want to know what era/timeline it's going to be in. Visually it looks Pre-TNG. Maybe even pre-TOS.

 

I don't get that station, but I'm sure I;ll find them somewhere to watch.

CBS All Access is an online service. If you're outside of the US, Netflix will be streaming the episodes after they air.

What date should someone turn the Way Back machine to?

I don't understand the question. The links take you to the specific pages (and whatever date LL chose). The information he was referencing is there. You're free to look at whatever other dates are stored for those pages.

Sadly, the first 5 links Lord Liaden lists were old geocities pages, and they now link to the newfangled Yahoo business site.

 

And a number of the links go to pages that have broken links, also sadly. Can't seem to find a decent Gamma World conversion, or a decent Fallout-style writeup in HERO.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

All of the first 7 links point to the Wayback Machine and are working fine (I just checked and those pages come up.)
