[QUOTE="Eosin the Red, post: 1485545, member: 168"] I am down with Dogbrains explanations except for the speedster...You just gotta be more creative :) I currently run a Fantasy Hero game and have started a Story Hour based on it, I just did not label it as such. I am also behind a week on posting to it. Anyway back on topic. I have always held that Hero worked best in Modern or Supers and even swore at one point that I would never run another FH game but then they changed the magic rules and gave me some ideas. Suddenly, the system that I loved the most could be used for the genre I love the most. I have not been disappointed. I would 100% say that you need fantasy Hero before you try to run a fantasy game in the system. It is not a game that you "grok" until you have played it a few times. The rules become much easier after some play -- much more so than d20 for me. There are some really good sites for Fantasy Hero on the web - nothing like ENworld but some good sites none the less. I and a few others are also regulars on the Hero boards where they have a Fantasy Hero section so feel free to drop by and discuss "how do you do this?" If you have any questions for an active FH DM drop me a line. [/QUOTE]
