Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them? How long does it take to make an NPC for you? Is it easier than making a PC?

Re: Is it fun to play RPGs online? Yeah, I've heard Klooge was a good program to use.

Re: Where Can I Find Info On Editions 1-3? Hey, I just posted in the thread "List of Gaming Books" (you can search for it under my profile) and in it I list all the 4th edition HERO books I have on PDF. Some of them, though, I have a feeling might be 3rd edition, but I'm not sure? Could you look at that list and tell me if any of them are 3rd edition books? Thanks

Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them? I know exactly what you mean. Since it hasn't been until recently that I've become dedicated, I always started to create worlds only to never work on them again. It's because my mood always changes, as well. My most recent one was a Mortal Kombat campaign because at the time I was really into the Mortal Kombat games and their interesting story lines. Even though I still think Mortal Kombat is really cool, I'm not in the mood to continue that world. However, since I did put the most effort into that world, I probably will come back to it eventually. It would disappoint me if I didn't. Also, for those talking about it a couple threads above this one, published campaigns get altered many times as well. Why do you think there are always new editions to books like Forgotten Realms, the upcoming Eberron, Greyhawk, and all the older out-of-print ones? They always get changed, and they also depend on the players who purchased them to change it as they see fit, if necessary.

Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them? How long does it take you guys to build worlds for campaigns?

Re: Double The Hero Excitement! They finally officially announced it!

Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them?

Re: Double The Hero Excitement! I don't know why the 2 big announcements aren't on the website, though. They said they would by Monday morning, which was yesterday. Still no sign

Re: Double The Hero Excitement!

Re: Double The Hero Excitement! By the way, I just got the new issue of Game Informer in the mail and read the article on Champions Online. If you want to read more about it (for the time being, at least), I suggest you buy this magazine (it also has other great content in case you wondering whether Champions Online was the only interesting thing in it). They said it would come out in 2009, near the release of 6th edition I'm guessing. It showed screens of some of the characters and looks pretty neat as it's own game. It's coming out for both the PC and the 360 (obviously the PC is the superior system to get it for) and there is cross-platform play for both. This was a continuation of Marvel Online which, sadly, got canceled (I would have much rather had Marvel Online than Champions Online, but that's just me. I think that Champions is a weird world to use because most of the mainstream probably doesn't know about it and the characters aren't as exciting as name-brand ones.).

Re: Double The Hero Excitement!

Re: Double The Hero Excitement! No, it couldn't be done. No video game ever can create what you create. True, it could be possible that the base rules could be converted to a video game (just as D&D was for Neverwinter Nights/Baldur's Gate), but that's based on a campaign set forth by the developer. For an MMORPG, it has way more content, but still is limited to what the developers decide to put in the game. Even games with editors, like Neverwinter Nights, couldn't do such a thing. What if I wanted a HERO game set in the Neanderthal age, but with high technology and space travel? Something radical like that that is easily available to make in any pen&paper game, and it doesn't even have to be radical. It's impossible to put that into a game. Sure, if you yourself were a game designer/developer, you could put in what you want as long as you had the skill/patience to do it. And even in the end it wouldn't be near as good as the pen & paper version. Even if it did, which is impossible, it wouldn't be as fun as the experience of sitting down with a group of friends, or even on a chat/online-based game, and roleplaying like we're all used to. Pen & paper RPGs are known for their extreme set of customizable tools, mostly to create anything you want. A video game just can't do that. It can't even come close.

Re: buying weapons (money or points?) Lol, now this thread is getting sparked up again

Re: Double The Hero Excitement! How in the world could you possibly convert the HERO System (as well as any RPG system) to an animated video game?

Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them? Great

Re: Double The Hero Excitement!

Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them? Have you been playing online, then? And if you have, couldn't you use your ideas there instead of waiting for a F2F game?

Re: Is it worth it to make stuff on your free time without even playing them? Are there classes in Fantasy HERO?

Re: buying weapons (money or points?) Haha I can't believe my n00b question sparked so much interest back then

Re: Is it fun to play RPGs online? Yeah I started doing it now and it's actually really fun. I use OpenRPG. The only bad thing is that schedules always get screwed up, and it's not as fun as F2F (of course). By the way, this is my 100th post!!

Re: Where Can I Find Info On Editions 1-3? Yeah, it was definitely 4th Edition.

Re: Double The Hero Excitement! It doesn't really matter if it is or isn't. In no way does it affect the pure role-playing game because it doesn't use the HERO System. It's just a video games using the Champions characters. Also, Champions books will still be made in the future so we didn't lose anything, thankfully .
