okay, this is my first post on this site, and I've looked for something like this to make sure I'm not making people go over the same thing again, but couldn't find anything, so here goes. I have been playing D&D for a couple of years, but neither I nor my friends likes the look of 4th Edition, so we're abandoning ship. I'm starting up a Shadowrun campaign, but I don't think any of us are going to like it all that much, so I'm considering HERO as an alternative. Which comes to my questions.
1. Should I and my group, and I know you'll all be pretty biased towards this, get into HERO as opposed to some other system?
2. If so, should I start now, or wait for 6th Edition?
3. Is the genre book for my chosen genre (Champions) a wise investment?
4. How difficult would it be for someone new to the game to GM a campaign? This question comes from the fact that I'm ALWAYS the Gamemaster among my group.
Thank you for reading my post, and bless you if you can help answer my questions. Sorry about all the reading.
