Lord Mhoram
Hero
Yeah. I can understand.Heh, it's interesting how different folks want different things. That bolded part is the part I would like to avoid.
For RPGs I tend to really love system that have a small (medium) devoted fanbase, but not top of the market - and play them for decades. I played HERO as my primary system 30+ years, and now I'm into Cypher and I have a feeling it will be the same.
I've always liked one flavor or another of D&D, as it was my first RPG, so there is serious nostolgia for it, even if the rules shift a lot.
