Re: Looking For Input On Potential New Fantasy Product +1

Re: Looking For Input On Potential New Fantasy Product Rep for Old Man and Lucius (must spread...) for the well-considered posts on this. Updating FH 1st edition really captures what I envisioned when Jason first started this thread. Based on my own experience, I think the non-Hero Faithful are more likely to buy the all-in-one game than having to buy multiple volumes just to be a player and try it out. And I noted in my earlier post that I felt that brand confusion could arise, which others have since brought up as well. All IMHO of course.

Re: Looking For Input On Potential New Fantasy Product @Spence: Thanks for saying so much that I was thinking.

Re: Looking For Input On Potential New Fantasy Product I think that the second option would lead to brand confusion. It also seems to me that Hero has been doing the core rules + genre books for some time now, and it (at least currently) is not a sustaining model. While true herophiles, who like to buy everything, may see duplication, we're not a big enough group to sustain sales. A complete game, without reference to another (non-fantasy) title would let new players pick up the one book and go. So my vote is for Fantasy Hero Complete. I also agree with previous posts that the book should include a spell system that can be used out-of-the-box. We all know who the big contenders are in the fantasy market. While Hero isn't class-based, perhaps some short examples (maybe in the extra PDF you mentioned) could show how to build the basic stereotypes. I also think that, if you go this route, there should be some planning around how to market the extra materials that many players of other systems expect to be available. Like the Bestiary, a Spell Book, etc.

Re: Translating Into Egyptian, Babylonian, Or Mayan Nice. Yet another bookmark in my "I'm going to use this for a game Real-Soon-Now" folder.

Re: How do you feel about House Rules? House rules are fine as long as everyone knows what they are. If the players get some input before they go into effect, even better.

Re: Tell me about Fantasy Hero 1st edition (the self-contained one). When I was playing 1st Edition everything (Champs, FH, etc.) we used to mix-and-match all the rules. We just ignored things that didn't fit the particular genre. I don't think you'll have many issues using the materials from any of the earlier FH versions.

Re: Conversion - M&M to Hero 5th(revised) Yes. 5ER p.86 describes how talents were built from skills and powers. @Lord L: Universal Translator was built from the Language skill. I just happen to remember Steve's description in The Ultimate Skill of how he built it. Several of the other talents were built using Detect as you mentioned.

Re: Interesting download found Thanks for sharing the link.

Re: Tae Kwon Do special abilities Got him for you. And I agree I'll probably swipe this too.

Re: Attention Star Trek Fans

Re: CV3 Street Date? So very true! It was excellent!

Re: Pulp Hero Reprint anytime soon? You might want to ask over in the Company Questions forum since any sort of reprint would be a business decision rather than a discussion around the genre.

Re: CV3 Street Date? I received my copy today.

Re: the Return of Shadowcats Vehicular Insanity Shop Looking forward to it. I've enjoyed your previous work.

Re: Star Hero Nominated for Two ENnie Awards! That's great! I'll have to mark the voting on my calendar so I don't forget.

Re: OSR Champs? I considered doing this a few months ago. Ultimately I didn't do it. I agree with Killer Shrike about the Basic Rule book. Simplify things down a bit, don't use optional rules that are in 6E1 and 6E2, and you can get the "feel" of the old first edition rules.

Re: Hero System Power Cards Thanks. I just skipped right past that last night.

Re: Starting a 6th ed campaign and was wondering... You might take a look at the 5th Edition to 6th Edition Character Creation Summary in the Free Stuff section. It will give you a better idea of the changes in the system. There's lots of other good stuff in Free Stuff as well.

Re: Hero System Power Cards Did I miss the templates? Thanks.

Re: Superhero team Leader: PC or NPC? Like many others have already noted, in my games, the team leaders have always been PCs. They often have a boss, sponsor, etc. that they (usually) take orders from, but that's not out in the field. I can only think of one campaign where the team leader was "chosen" by the NPC organization; in reality the choice was made by the players and how they interacted, so it was more of a formalization of how they were already working together.

Re: TUALA MORN -- Interested In More Stuff? That's good news. And to answer your original question, I'll continue to show my support with a purchase.

Re: Hero Designer 3 die roller ported to Android? I've been using Dice Roller as well.
