It was much more fun, but also required much more work from me as the GM. Players that got past the learning curve LOVED it. Not all players got past that curve. The combat system is MUCH more cinematic than D&D and much more memorable.You can think of D&D as a canned off-the-shelf software product, where as the HERO System is much more like a programming language. The strengths of the system is that you can do just about anything you want with it. The weakness is you have to do most of the work to do it. People like me that prefer full control love it, more casual gamers who dont want to get into the guts of a game system dont love it.</blockquote>
