Hi everyone. Hope I put this in the right spot. Long time fan of HERO since early college and been here for a few years I believe, but usually lerked. Played quite a few HERO games as a GM. Anyways, I'm still using 5th Ed revised and im considering running a science Fantasy style campaign similar to sources like the Anime Outlawstar, Bucky O'Hare, or Archies Sonic the Hedgehog comic. Between technology and magic, the feel is somewhere between 50/50 and 60/40 ish is what I'm going for. Level is Heroic and will incorporate some kind of lvl up system. So I really need some help on this and apologies if these have been asked before. A few questions I have for this: 1. What HERO source books do you recommend/I should use? 2. Should I invest in 6th edition compared to HERO 5th Ed revised? I also have ultimate vehicle and ultimate skill for the 5th Ed I believe it is. 3. Last time I ran a game with multiple races, I ended up eye balling the differences between races. I want to do it again, but im considering using racial packages more closely this time around. Any thoughts on using racial packages? 4. Any advise on the specifics in running a science Fantasy using the HERO System is much appreciated! Like any issues in running the genre with the system for example. Thank you all kindly!
