  1. For my D&D-like sorcerers, I use a themed Multipower; so a dragonborn sorcerer has say a breath weapon spell, a dragon-hide spell, etc. while a feyborn sorcerer has more glamour-like spells. My D&D-like wizards have a VPP and a list of known spells; the VPP can only be configured with those spells. To increase what's on their list required a Spell Inventor skill roll. Neither one makes real use of Vancian magic.

    int min

    When I was converting D&D 3.5e spells, I used INT min for wizard spells, EGO min for Cleric spells, and PRE min for Bard & Sorcerer spells. Since I wasn't using a magic roll when converting the spells, there was no benefit for being over the min, and if you were under the min, you couldn't cast the spell. I used the levels for STR min, but since Characteristic Drains were quite rare in what I was designing, there could be an argument for a lower Limitation value.
  3. So glad to hear this!! I purchased my copy.
  4. Ohhh!!!!! I would love a Kindle edition!! I hope you figure that out!
  5. I somehow missed this!! Any chance for a reprint? If not, I'll live with a PDF.
  6. This is why I gave up on my In Nomine-to-Hero conversion years ago..although I've recently pulled out the books again to see how I would do it.
  7. Not many: - Supers - Fantasy - A short-lived X-Files play-by-email game. I have ideas for many others, but no players interested alas....
  8. DC all the way. My current collection is around 70% DC, 15% Marvel, and 15% everything else (which is mostly Dynamite & IDW). The only Marvel titles I'm currently reading are All-New Invaders and Spider-Man 2099 (although I did pick up the new female Thor for a try-out). Whearas I'm getting about half of DC's output. I lost interest in Marvel in the 90s -- the stories just weren't what I wanted to read.
  9. I'd love to see: Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space; after reading the UNIT sourcebook, I'd briefly considered doing a conversion of that...plus I'd love to play in the Doctor Who universe Primeval: Uses the same system as Doctor Who. I loved the TV series, and this would just be a fun campaign.
  10. Luthor was also in prison post-new 52 reboot (current canon).
  11. Oh...don't get me started on D&D house rules!! Our GM uses a d% table for criticle hits/fumbles that have maimed/killed more PCs than it has monsters.... As for converting D&D/Pathfinder to HERO....I did most of the core 3.5 feats with little difficulty. I kind of gave up on an accurate spell system and said why not do systems? That way you could tell a sorcerer from a wizard (there's a bit more distiction between the 2 in Pathfinder, but IMHO the 3.5 sorcerer is just a weakened wizard). I also enjoy converting monsters to HERO, not always a straight conversion, though...more of a "this looks right" conversion.
  12. Our 3.5 DM bends rules left, right and center to make the game more fun. He's done this to the point where we currently have a player with a race that is in no way RAW legal. And even then, I still prefer HERO, and I wish I could convince everyone to switch.
  13. Hopefully soon!! While they can be had from iTunes right now, I'd much rather have them in DVD format.
  14. I like the current DC reboot myself. This is the most I've enjoyed Superman in years. And although, I've picked up a few Marvel books in the past, they haven't really interested my since the mid-90s. I'm currently not reading any Marvel books, and I do get a few Dynamite and IDW books for my non-DC reading.
  15. Cap is 30 STR? That seems high to me (although, I'm by no means a Cap (or Marvel) expert).
  16. I hadn't considered Asgardian healing, but was thinking Dr. Strange....
  17. Correct, The Time Travelers Companion is all about making Time Lord characters (and building TARDISes if you happen to not want a stock model).
  18. Kind of a tie between Bronze and Golden for me. I grew up mid-late Bronze, and those are the stories I love the most. But I also love the Golden Age stories where every thing was new in the comics. Most Silver Age stuff was just too campy (particularly from DC - my favorite company) for my tastes.
  19. It was Perez's & Wolfman's New Teen Titans that hooked me for life!
  20. I have both the 10th & 11th Doctor versions and all the sourcebooks. Not sure if I like the mechanics enough to play it, though.
  21. Live Action TV: Arrow Animated TV: Young Justice (it was Justice League Unlimited before that) Live Action Movie: Tough one...think I'd have to go Avengers Animated Movie: Batman: Under the Red Hood
  22. Yeah, sure wish my group was doing a HERO System campaign instead of D&D 3.5. I would certainly test it if we were!!
  23. Oh, I like the naked 0 END only when Berserk/Enraged with the Side Effect of being 0 END when coming out of it. I may have to build my next Fantasy Barbarian that way!!
  24. What are you using to edit? I tried making my own, but could never get it to look right with Word or Excel.
