Bogus&co are the devs earthsea party.

Why does this only include half of the Sin of Damnation missions?

Oh god, it's been so long since I saw this game.
/hero/ - Hero System General Thread #2
Hello /tg/ it's time for the good word of the Hero System to grace this board again. The Hero System is a toolkit RPG descended from such games as Champions, Fantasy Hero, Justice, Inc, or Danger International. These once disparate games were consolidated to form a single universal RPG system with which one can build any character. Hero System is the original "stat me" RPG with a robust character creation system that boasts the proud, longstanding, original power creation system in the history of role playing games.
I present two troves. First the current edition of the Hero System.

And the past edition of the Hero System.

The Hero System is as good a universal system as GURPS, Savage Worlds, or Fate and the time has come that we Hero fans rain praise upon it in order to show yet another way for the curious or prospective fa/tg/uy.
Finally, the question of the thread:
> What are your favorite things about the Hero System outside of its Power creation system?
deader than Current Marvel
sell me on the system, OP
Mono black reanimator
4x animate dead
4x exhume
4x entomb
4x buried alive
4x collective brutality
4x dark ritual
4x lotus petal
4x reanimate
4x griselbrand
4x cabal therapy
1x mikaeus, the unhallowed
3x grave titan
16x swamp
Is it finally good?
What would you change if anything?
In case of grafdiggers cage/leyline of the void i already have 4x disenchant and some wb lands in the sideboard.
>>54291603
If you are using buried alive you should consider playing the necrotic ooze/triskelion/phyrexian devourer combo. You could probably split up your reanimation targets too, 4x griselbrand is obviously good but 3 titans is probably too much and mikaeus is pretty bad. Some good ones are elesh norn, Iona, and tidespout tyrant. Also I think you should try to fit some thoughtseizes in there
>>54292051
Actually I saw you have cabal therapies, those are fine instead of thoughtseizes

How many space marine chapters have /tg/ made?
>>54291538
More than what's on the wiki.
I was there at the conception of the Huge Marines and the Rad Marines. Neither of them ever got a wiki page... which was sad, as I especially liked the Rad Marines reason for being.
>>54291608
I miss when namefags were a normal occurrence
I got into 40k in late 7th Edition with Necrons, but have wanted Orks or Imperial Guard since I firsted started learning about Warhammer. With 8th Edition making these factions much more competitive, now I'm looking at getting one or the other. Also in the running is AdMech, like the models and fluff too. Can you guys post well rounded lists for each faction for me? IG and Orks kind of scare me with the high model count, I am a slow painter and I don't want to field an unpainted army. Any advice on painting Orks and Guard would be appreciated too.
I'm thinking about an AdMech army too, so i'm gonna hijack your question.
>>54290824
Fine by me, hopefully anyone who owns these factions can chime in.
>>54290605
I really do wish I could help. I haven't been following the meta since TLOS became a thing. I mostly just build orky conversions now.
I want to do a "hack" of this. Elves are a faction. Which should be the other? Not dwarves, too classic.
Elves.
>>54290238
If your first idea was elves, you might as well go with greenskins, because that's already standard fantasy as fuck.
>>54290238
How about Drow?
How do I make a sandbox set in Las Vegas?
What would you do? How could casinos work? Would you put other places/towns in it?
>>54290025
lots and lots of drugs
>>54290195
I already put it in.Picture is not yet finished, I screwed it up.
>>54290025
What kind of game is it? Modern fantasy, realistic, something else? You need some direction to figure out your focus.
>How could casinos work?
They're places to meet, to sleep, to grab a bite or whatever. Sure there's all those tables and slots but those are background elements. Spending your time throwing money away is boring; focus on what the characters are doing and how they're using the casino as a cover or whatever. If that makes sense.
Is there a game like role master with less crunch?
>>54289267
literally MERP
>>54289267
D&D
>>54289267
>>54289485
Seconding MERP. Or Cyberspace, if you want a tech campaign.
What's the best way to do this? I was thinking of having her (the character) be forced to wear anti magic shackles.
>>54288924
Cut off the tongue, poke out the eye and cripple the fingers.
>>54289826
OP here. That may be cool, but I'm not aiming for that degree. Maybe breaking arms and legs will do.
>>54289960
I mean, if you want the players to be forced into a cutscene, just say so OP. If that's the case, DM fiat it. If you want an actual challenge for them to escape, prevent them from using magic and make sure things operate like an actual prison. Don't pull cliches like two people on duty at any given time and narcoleptic guards.
Where I can learn about game board design?
I'm mostly interested in the posibilities board games have on computers.
Tell me of your favorite questgiver NPC, GMs and players
>Tuppence, saint of wayward children

What quests did she give and how was she canonized?

Any thoughts on what decks will be successful once Hour of Devastation hits? I think U/W Monument is the deck to beat right now.

I took a look on these lotr rules, but it is largely based on D&D 5e. Thus it doesn't (or I have very bad eyes, since I can't find it) explain the core rule, like how fighting work and stuff. I never played 5e and don't want to buy the book just for that. Is there a quick, reliable ruleset around here ?
Also lotr rpg thread, I guess

>>54288532
If you want to run a LotR game and don't want to buy the D&D books, then just play The One Ring instead. Made by the same people as that module, but uses rules tailored for the Middle-Earth feeling rather than the abomination that d20 is.
