D&D Beyond Like Tool for Hero Games or something like the Beyond Tool Is there an online website/service that provides something like the Online Character Tools with mouse hover links to more details about the object under the mouse. I've been using the D&D Beyond tool for the last year and my players really like the tool. Is there something similar to that for players and GM's in the Champions/Heroes rules set? It doesn't have to be an all inclusive tool but I'd definitely like something for the following: Online Character Sheet Campaign Notes Rules lookup or maybe a place to store and access PDF's. Bonus Points if there is some kind of tool to manage/store/present maps with Grid/Hex overlay options.

(Crossposted from the Hero System forum, after the highly sensible recommendation to come here.) So, my beloved S/O has decided that she, along with another dear friend of ours, wants to GM something in the Eberron setting. For a variety of reasons, they're considering Hero, probably Fantasy Hero Complete, as the system for this endeavor. I was wondering if anyone had taken a swing at this before, or if there are any recommendations? A couple things to note: This is not supposed to feel like standard D&D. Both GMs harbor a burning hatred for D&D in general, and are definitely not trying to replicate its feel They want different kinds of magic to feel different. Wizards, Sorcerers, Dragonmark magic - all should feel distinct. This is designed to be a political intrigue game, that branches out into the occasional expedition. But courtly intrigue first, monster-thwacking probably third at best. Neither of the GMs has run Hero before, though one of them was a player in my brief wargamey Hero sessions, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Both are very "Simulationist" from a GNS theory perspective - they like solid mechanical representation of things. Anyway! I was wondering if the Herosphere had any thoughts on the matter? Thanks, all!
