And behold, I saw a pale horseman ride forth...

Yup, the end times are upon us.

I have, in my hot little hands, the HERO System 5th ed. Core Rulebook.

Strangely, I get the feeling that Annie's mom would love it. Y'know, what with the differential calculus required to determine your base characteristics and all.

mmm...RKA 4d6 NND....

Rock on. I haven't played since Revised, but good times.

I hope they've sped up combat a little - it tended to bog down as people tried to shake 18d6 for their energy blast damage...

I still remember Shift - he was an army experiment in shapeshifting who escaped. His favorite prank: turning into a coffee cup that weighed 6 tons and waiting for the party brick to give himself a hernia.

Mmm... 300-point Multipowers...

And I have a shiny new Ken Hite book. Which of us feels less clean, but strangely excited by the fact?

-I'm currently reading the 400-page Fantasy Hero supplement. Gotta say, they don't do things by halves . . .

Ummm ... RKA NND? Damn, that's almost as abusive as penetrating vs. mental defense...

That's a book I need to get someday soon.

I'm amazed at their publication schedule. Since the 5th ed. debuted a couple of years ago, they've had a steady stream of sourcebooks, sometimes more than one every month and all of them incredibly dense. It helps that they're doing a lot of catch-up from previous editions, but still...

very ambitious.

So... review? How is it?

[bluegargantua]

It's...OK. But I'm definately gonna have to tweak a few of the less realistic rules.

heh
