I had no idea - by 1996 I had comprehensively quit HERO System games (in part because I didn't like the way that they were reorganizing it, but also because everything that HERO could do that I wanted to do, I found that GURPS, MSH, V&V, or BRP could do better; I've never even bothered to look at 5th or 6th edition HERO). However, I may have to find a copy of that for setting ideas, just as I keep a copy of <i>Dark Champions</i> on hand for ideas on how to handle organized crime in a game setting.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-24886935913277932502014-03-19T23:54:56.927-07:002014-03-19T23:54:56.927-07:00Very happy to see you write about Lords of Creatio...Very happy to see you write about Lords of Creation, but I disagree with this.<br /><br />"Seriously, one of the alternate world settings is derived from the poetry of William Blake. There is nothing cooler than that in gaming."<br /><br />Hero Games's 1996 "The Ultimate Super Mage" had a whole cosmology based upon William Blake for playing out Dr.Strange-style superheroes. I claim this trumps Lords of Creation.Jay Duggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181402451119462976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-89302051965334416142014-03-18T12:30:21.290-07:002014-03-18T12:30:21.290-07:00I have not yet given a thorough review of MgT, tho...I have not yet given a thorough review of MgT, though I do plan to do so at some point. I hasten to add that I do think that it's one of the better Traveller editions to date, so it's not like I hate it or anything (in fact, I think that its stat mods might be profitably imported to MT in place of the stat/5 method, though I need to consider that more fully).<br /><br />Obviously, I largely agree with that assessment of the Gazetteer.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-35620551085362691812014-03-18T11:57:35.982-07:002014-03-18T11:57:35.982-07:00Not to turn this into a bash-fest, but have you la...Not to turn this into a bash-fest, but have you laid out your issues with MgT? I'm a fan but also have my issues with the system, and wondered if we're on the same wavelength.<br /><br />The Grayhawk Gazetteer may be the finest non-rules product ever created for any game, ever.Jason Packerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240705069654358715noreply@blogger.com
