    One thing I REALLY liked about HERO over D&D

    Speaking as someone who plays both games, I have a few insights to share ... judge them as you will ;) 1 - d20 has some wonderful support, but it also has some real crappy support as well. In all, I would say there's an even amount of both. Hero has a a steady stream of books and a weekly...

    The HERO System

    I don't think you'll be disappointed PCD :) Feel free to drop by the Hero boards as well (www.herogames.com/forums) and say howdy ... IMHO, it's one of the best fan-bases you'll find with TONS of conversions and info for anyone playing the system :) Just tell 'em Sketch sent ya ;)

    The HERO System

    IMHO, Steve Long is one of the most responsive designers in the biz ... He posts nearly every day and has a board where you can ask him questions, which he usually answers every morning. The man's a machine I tell ya ;)

    The HERO System

    I've been a fan of Hero for years :) While I've been running d20 for the last 4 years, I've recently picked up 5th ed and found it a great book! Streamlined from 4th ed, the newest edition is a monster book which goes under the title of a "Toolkit" and that's exactly what it is. You can build...

    What is your Opinion of GURPS?

    I like GURPS ... but I'd wait till 4e comes out before making any judgement. I've ran a multitude of games in it and yes it can be complicated at times ... but I think that's true of any system that you play. I think my only gripes with the system are: 1) Mages with Photographic Memory are...

    d20 Hatred near you?

    Personally, I like d20 ... but I'm also a fan of other systems :) I think some of the hatred for d20 stems from vX.X ... I know it ticked me off. Understandable that Star Wars needed some rule tweaking ... but coming out with a "Revised" book a year after the original d20 book?! Come on ...

    D&D 4E Betting on 4e

    Personally ... I've gotten so sick of Xe or X.Xe ... why not just let the system sit for a while ... a long while. It seems to me that you have to be a millionaire to play a game these days ... even other companies have started in with their own systems (ie: GURPS 4e) ... I understand that...

    "Classic" Dragon Articles

    Personally ... I've always enjoyed alternate ideas ...new races, new classes, varient classes, new prestige classes, new feats and new uses for skills. I think that Dragon could use a regular article that introduces either a new class or varient class into the game. For example, I'd love to...

    Albany, NY Gameday!(Aftermath)

    Depending on the time and location, the wife and I could go ... we're only 2 hours north of Albany ... I may even be inclined to run a game or two depending on how many people were there, how much it was, etc :)

    I'd like to see either, but I think I'd rather see Doc Ock ... or maybe Spider Man? ;)

    Alignment House Rules

    Hey Gang, I've been looking over D&D in the context of my game and have been thinking of throwing alignments out the door. I was wondering if others have done this? Anyone have any interesting house rules they'd like to share?

    Grimm

    I just got this and I'm quite impressed. The wife and I are actually working on some new creatures of the land ... and we've been thinking about either advanced classes or prestige classes ... anyone else thinking on this wavelength? :)

    Cantina Closing Bash - Poll

    LTNS Gang ... Having this pointed out by a friend, Morra and I appreciate many of the kind words :) Though the Cantina had possibility to flourish, it's a shame to have to see it pass. But if it has to pass, we say let it pass with the dignity that it deserves, as well the powerful presence...
