PM would be fine by me.

One thing to keep in mind is that the statement "an IH party is equivalent to a D&D party of the same level" has to be considered in light of the fact that not all D&D parties of the same level are equal (or even close to it) in every encounter. IH parties excel at certain tasks (especially at...

Hero Games have published a number of adventures for Champions that could be readily adapted to any supers system. They also publish some of the finest setting material for supers game in general. As far as science fiction goes, a lot depends on what kind of game you want to run. "Science...

Bad news: I may have to drop out of this. Just had word that one of my scheduled GMs for the Iron Heroes event may not be able to make it to Gencon. If he doesn't come, I'll have to take his Saturday 2-6 game. I don't know for certain yet whether this will come to pass, but wanted to give a...

I never played Dragon Mountain. Reading it was bad enough. Unlike Erik, I thought the opening campaign book sounded terrible, and the mountain itself was far worse, for all the reasons stated above. The first part of Night Below was mostly fun. Then we got into the Underdark and the wheels...

Without offering advice on which system to buy (since my bias should be obvious from my sig!), there was one thing I wanted to clear up: The original IH core book and Mastering IH are both available in print at discounted prices. The revised core book should be available by Gencon. The...

They're not that recent any more, but if you haven't seen The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, Dog Soldiers or Undead then you're missing out.

It's all about Patrick Troughton.

Clockwork Golem Workshop's PDFs are pretty much entirely OGC. A lot of the material is rules related, but what fluff there is, is OGC as well (mainly new deities and the flavour text for the new spells, races and PrCs).

$9 for the PDF. 100 pages. This thread contains previews of the new traits, feats, classes and magic system.

I'm reading a collection of works by Edgar Wallace, who was one of the most successful and prolific authors in the UK (and indeed, the world) during the period 1905-1933. Amongst other things, Wallace had a story credit on the 1933 version of King Kong, though Wikipedia asserts that he "was...

This counter collection brings to you every monster in the Iron Heroes Bestiary - including a multi-page multi-level Colossus of Thard! Also included are counters for each class in the Iron Heroes Revised Core Book as well as multiple representations of the 3 new character classes found in the...

As with all things nerdy, Wikipedia has a full list of companions. Quite a large number were either well-educated (Susan, Liz, Harry, Grace, Zoe, Adric, Romana, Nyssa) or had other useful skills (the Brigadier, Sarah Jane, Leela, K-9). And some were just useless (Tegan, Peri). :)

From the Iron Heroes Revised and Iron Heroes Player's Companion legal text: "The original purchaser may print or photocopy copies for his or her own personal use only." Doin' our bit :)

I gave it a 5 - strictly average. It was OK. But it could have been much better. It was at least 20 minutes too long, and had far too many extraneous characters. Having 2 or 3 humans that we were supposed to not want to get stomped would have been enough. This had at least 7. With all the...

There will be a print version. Should be available by Gencon.

It's fun. Lightweight, certainly, but the episodes are consistently entertaining. Tension is built and maintained well in the scripts, the effects are excellent, and the cast does their job quite adequately. It's certainly far, far better than Torchwood.

Print edition now available. You can pick up a copy at Gencon if you're there, or order it through an online retailer or from your LGS. You can get the PDF at Your Games Now or ENworld's storefront for $9.00. The ultimate player's addition to their Iron Heroes game! This book is jam packed...

The Lion King.

The unarmed combat material from the IHPC was already shared in one of the previews.
