Exactly my point.

You might want to consider any threads of importance to be Stickied in some way for reference.

Anyone taken a look at the new Kickstarter: Champions Character Creation Cards?

Link available on Hero Games main page

I looked at the kickstarter and was not impressed.  The best thing about Champions is the freedom to design the character as you want, and trying to put that into a few cards isn't going to work.  This might work to help beginners or to throw together a simple character quickly, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Are these the only HERO games on RPOL currently?

I'm planning to begin the pruning by consolidating the three threads for the oldest versions into one.

I will be eliminating
• Older Versions: 3rd
• Older Versions: 2nd
• Older Versions: 1st Edition

These will become
• Older Versions

No one has posted in these for a LOONNNNNGGGGGGGG time, so I don't think it will be a problem.

As far as I know lensmen.

I see no problem in that soulsight.

Is everyone ok with eliminating the 'Into the Breach' and 'Kickstarters' threads? They seem to have served their purpose.
As 'Introductions' seems to be, for the most part, useless I propose removing this thread and expecting introductions to be done in 'Chit Chat' from this point forward.

Makes sense

's ok with me

I'm good with that

These threads have not been very active, just looking around for HERO activity.

HERO System games, current status

Thanks for the heads-up.

I was lurking on the dteam.  It was a very interesting premise.

How do you export as text in Hero Designer 6?

First you need a Text export template.

Which can be found in the Hero Designer thread in Hero games website

Then dl it, and select it from the
HD Current Character > Export > Select Export Format

The Preview Character, that should give you the character in the text format

Perfect. Thank you.

Developing export templates isn't extremely difficult. Here's one I worked up for games on here:

Well, with all the free time on my hands these days, I keep feeling like I should take a shot at running a game.  Which just leaves all the actual details of setting up a game to figure out.

In particular, I know I want to do some group character and game generation.  And that I expect to be a little selective on group membership.  Not first come, first serve, but having some questions in the rtj to get some sense of the player and what kind of game they want.  I'd like to avoid trying to avoid having the Punisher babysit the Power Pack, for instance. :)

I'm trying to pin down the questions I want to ask.  I think one is going to be: "Tell me your 3 favorite superhero comics, movies, shows, or other media."  I'm also thinking something along the lines of "What genre(s) and/or tone(s) are you hoping to see in this game?"

Anyone have any ideas for questions to ask?  Or other suggestions for things to get lined up before I start looking for players?

In case anyone's interested in old 4e books, Bundle of Holding has revived their Champions bundles again.  There's the 4e Essentials and 4e Universe bundles.

Have a look:  https://bundleofholding.com

Game over, man.  My game is done; yet another casualty of this dumpster-fire of a year.  Maybe when I'm in a better place mentally I'll try again.

Yep that happens.

But you tried it and probably learned a few things.

It's the only way I know to get better at GM'ing.
