[QUOTE="Hatchling Dragon, post: 1488138, member: 580"] Quick tip for anyone playing HERO, pardon me if I'm repeating an earlier post, get a Whiteboard and some dry-erase markers. Also good would be the margins of your Battlemat, or even a spare mat that you aren't actively using. I've found that it's a [b]huge[/b] help, especialy to new players, if you have a copy of the Speed Chart showing the Segments that everyone acts on (ie: thier Phases). If you're like my group, and your character sheets are pretty-much public domain, then just list END and STUN (or more) on the Board to help people keep track of just what sorta shape thier character's in. Right at first we even listed all 'Mobs' on the board too, just to let everyone get more of a feel for how the system works. We still list enemy Phases on the chart, it's just too convient for the GM and PC's to keep track of who's going before whom. I suppose this means we've been following that already mentioned idea of the "Throw Away Starter Game", one of the best tips I've heard for a new HERO group. And I'm not saying this just because it was [b]my[/b] idea for our group to try it ;) Hatchling Dragon [/QUOTE]
