I am in need of some scripting help. I am trying to program a character sheet for a game system into a PDF form so that all the calculations are automatic (well most of them). I need help with creating an array and objects to simulate tables in the PDF. Since Adobe Acrobat uses an "enhanced"...

I was directed to this thread when I asked about Realm Works in a thread I started. I was looking through the different programs and some of them look pretty cool. But I didn't see Realm Works listed I also was not patient enough to read through all 12 pages of posts, so forgive me if it's been...

I am looking for some good campaign management software and Realm Works looks like it might fit the bill, but it is a little costly at $50. I would like to get some personal opinions on the software from the people on here from those who have used Realm Works (or know of someone who has) before...

Never played BASH but ICONS sounds a lot better from your description. My old gaming buddy from the 80's name is on the ICONS book (that's how he puts it) but he still recommends MSH from the 80's. Maybe because we had a lot of great gaming moments playing it. I guess that is one of the things...

All these online generators are fun and useful at times. Great job Morrus and to all the developers! Is there any chance these will be available on your app for android? That would be even better as I wouldn't have to pre-generate, save, and print them out. Bruce

Cool, it sounds a lot like the games I played with my friends in the 80's. I hope to get that back with this new group. I think having a good connection with your players is essential to running a great long term game. The group I am running with now is currently only 3 players strong...

I agree. I think narrative games are better suited for the super hero genre, at least for me it is. I know the group I played MSH with in the 80's enjoyed the narrative more and I enjoyed running the games, and playing them when my other friend GM'd. I prefer a more mechanical thing for my...

I'd love to be able to check out the last rendition of Marvel Super Heroes but it isn't available anymore (I think the license ran out). Back in the first few years of the decade I got all excited and ordered a newly published Marvel Super Heroes game. I don't think I had ever been so...

I have done pretty much the same in the past. 1. I still used karma but expanded to be much like your hero points idea. Which wasn't much expanding if I remember correctly. Didn't the regular karma rules already handle most of that stuff? 2. Did you make up rules for this and how did you handle...

I prefer skill based systems over anything else. Like Rolemaster and HARP. I can see how they aren't that important but I have my quirks. Bruce

The more I look at it, I feel the same way. For super hero games a looser more narrative system works best. Are you talking about the Margaret Weis/Tracy Hickman production of Marvel Super Heroes? I found that I had a lot more of the physical books of the original Marvel Super Heroes than I...

I was going for the netbook conversion of Marvel Super Heroes, but I discovered that it is a d20 conversion. I have a question for d20 fans, would it be easy to convert over to a percentile system by simply multiplying everything by 5 or would it need more detailed conversions? And yes I am a...

Marvel Super Heroes, otherwise the FASERIP system, lacked a good balanced power/stat improvement system and the skill system was very weak (i.e. it was incomplete). I haven't had the chance to see if whomever did the "expert netbook" update changed any of these things. Bruce

A super hero game!....lol The game I would like to run would be something with varying power levels. I plan on running two groups with my players (all the same game). I'd like the players to have the ability to create any kind of superhero with any kind of super power imaginable. Basically they...

After a discussion about doing something different with my players we decided to play a Superhero RPG. But which is the best one? I am not looking for complex. I am looking for simple but complete. The players will be playing multiple characters, one at a high power level and at least one at a...

I have been playing RPG's since late 1981, and I have played a lot of RPG's in my time. My favorite all time games are Rolemaster and HARP. The mechanics in both games are solid and straightforward. You don't need any special rules to get something to work as it all fits together smoothly. Some...

Hi! I am starting a game of HARP that I will be running bi-weekly on Thursday evenings (for now) at Lightspeed Hobbies on Rt 6 in Portage Indiana. I am looking for more players for that game. I am also looking to game in Rolemaster , I can GM and have GM'd just about all ICE RPG's (published...

Thanks people! I'm starting a new thread about OpenRPG.

Awesome stuff people! I glanced and TreeSheets and I like it as I am an excessive excel user. Battlegrounds games has some interesting links that I am in the process of checking out.

Thanks Hand of Evil! Interestingly enough The ScreenMonkey software may solve another problem. I am moving soon and my current players asked if we could play the game online. Though I am pretty sure there are free programs out there. BTW are you the right or left hand? Being as the right is the...
