No, you're not. See this thread.

HERO combat offers a lot of options. D20 combat does too, but my experience is that people pick up the basics of D20 combat a lot faster than they do HERO, and that D20 combat generally runs quite a bit more quickly. The need to track STUN and BODY as well as END, people getting stunned or...

Hero all the way, given your stated preferences. Be ready for a steep learning curve on character creation and combat, though.

I'm really not sure what the question is, here. Is it "Can I play D&D without lots of magic items?" In which case the answer is yes, but you'll need to tone down the challenges your PCs face. Or is it "Are the Iron Heroes classes balanced with D&D classes?" in which case the answer is not...

I think that making it easier to move around your foes was actually the point of the IH changes. It's part of the game's theme of "make doing something other than a full attack worthwhile" :) An equally important change to AoOs is that they are provoked by entering a square, not exiting it...

All kinds of cool stuff. :) Also a.k.a. Capellan, as it happens. I got the proofs of Blood Storm recently, so it should be pretty close to release. :cool: The draft of my third IH book is done, and we're currently playtesting it. I'll be pitching ideas for my fourth book to the fine folks...

A friend and I had a short discussion about it.

I'll go you one better. I not only owned the game, I wrote and ran events for it at three different conventions. It was actually a lot of fun to play.

This is my experience in Brisbane, also. I expect ENworld to fix this around the time they send out the prizes for the server drive.

Chapter Three: Book from the Dead "So what do we do now?" Simon wanted to know. "We question this one." Floyd pointed to the dead leader of the grey-skinned creatures. "... she doesn't look very talkative." "Son, in the mornin' I'll show you a little thing I like to call the King's...

I don't have an update ready yet, but I have been busy with something else X-Path related: a wiki for the game. Check it out here.

There will be more, but writing that is fun and profitable keeps getting in the way of writing that's just for fun :confused:

We play again tonight, so this weekend if I can get to a computer where ENworld works, or early next week at the latest :) What I really need to do is update Q-Ship.

Chapter Two : Things Turn Grim(lock) "It was a terrible battle." Ms. Coltraine assured the guardsman as she gave him a winning smile, "But we drove off those evil wererats in the end." "Thank you for your efforts," the guardsmen smiles back at the attractive young woman, clearly swayed by her...

The concept of Villain classes is very different to what people seem to be taking away from this thread. Some immediate facts: Villain classes are not better than PC classes. Villain classes do not 'break the rules'. They do use different rules, but so do templates, monster advancement by...

I actually thought my comment was a paraphrasing of something off Critical Miss, but I can't seem to find it, now. And for those who don't know: Jonny Nexus's links contain language and concepts that are not grandma friendly. Funny, yes. Grandma-friendly, no.

D&D: A game where you valiantly battle the forces of evil and destruction and ultimately become a super-powerful, super-wealthy adventurer. WFRP: A game where you valiantly battle the forces of evil and destruction and ultimately die in a ditch. Alone. In the rain. And nobody cares. I loves...

Chapter One : Fun at the Fair The streets of Brindinford were thronged with people talking, laughing, trading and generally enjoying the carnival atmosphere of the massive fair that sprawled across half the city. Floyd Anderson was not feeling the fun. "It's not Cherry Coke." "It tastes the...

2. If D20 games aren't eligible for the "Best Game" category, then it isn't a "Best Game" category at all: it's a "Best Non-d20 Game" category, and needs to be named as such.

Releasing your Animal Companion is A-OK,a nd I see no reason why you couldn't call a previous one back later. Giant Crocodiles are a great choice in a swamp, and are certainly big enough to be ridden. You GM may assign a -5 penalty (for being a creature that is ill-suited to riding) and if you...
