I'm completely new to Hero. When I opened up the core books to run a fantasy game I was completely overwhelmed. So, I went to Fantasy Hero 6th. It's a fantastic book and gets the gears turning in anticipation, but it's still doesn't provide tight enough constraints to comfortably dig in and start building. My hope is that Fantasy Hero Complete cranks things down a little bit, letting me jump in and go. Savage Worlds was mentioned upstream. I've run a good bit, jumping from setting to setting - almost all of them my own, though bits from published settings to get pulled in from time to time. It's just so easy to get started with Savage Worlds. Hopefully Complete is Hero's analog of the Explorer Edition.
