Steve Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 He hasn’t answered any rules questions since the end of May, and his profile said he last visited the forums in late July. Is he all right? Durzan Malakim and Amorkca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 He hasn't mentioned anything on Facebook. He hasn't posted much there either, but he routinely makes a Saturday cat post and that hasn't changed. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 The rumour is that his cat has taken over his Facebook page Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 With the changes to his old Q&A forum maybe he retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t looked in there for a while, so I didn’t know it changed. if he retired, I thought there would be some sort of official announcement.

Greywind Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 According to the post Simon made, Steve doesn't currently have time in his schedule. Durzan Malakim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 When Steve started that sub-forum, I believe he was Hero's full-time employee in overall charge of the rules. Now, he has to earn an income somewhere else, so it's not surprising the Rules Q board could not stay a priority. The game companies with way more full-time staff do not, to my knowledge, have anything similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Sorry about the delays, folks. Partly it relates to some health matters and other real life causes for delay, partly it relates to me being lazy, partly it relates to what Hugh pointed out -- since I don't work full time for Hero/DOJ anymore, sometimes other things ambush me and take priority. But I'm working out some things, and Jason and I have figured out an arrangement that will give me the ability to answer rules questions on a regular basis. First I will have to clear out the backlog and delete all responses from other people, but that's what I get for taking so long.

Hugh Neilson Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I think it's important for everyone (maybe Steve Long most of all) to consider just how unusual that Q&A Forum is. I don't believe that even the biggest players, like D&D or Pathfinder, make their top staff available to answer any and every rules question someone wants to post. Those games have a lot more resources backing them than Hero does. This is not "something Hero has to do to be in the game", it is a value-added which exceeds the norm - maybe someone else is aware of some other games that do this, but I doubt there are many, even if there are some. It was only notable by its absence because we have been spoiled by its presence. Chris Goodwin, Amorkca, Khymeria and 8 others 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hope you feel better soon, Steve. Hey, what happened to the Mythic Hero thread? It was pinned to one of the forums for quite a while but I don't see it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(New to the Hero forums) Although I've been playing Hero system fourth and fifth edition for the past 9 years. (I'm 16) I genuinely thought this game was dead and had few dedicated users other than myself and my friends. Had no idea the forum was this vibrant.

Brian Stanfield Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 @Steve Long Maybe you should consider setting up a Patreon campaign or something like that. There are enough people here who I’d imagine would throw in a little cash on a regular basis to help support the Q&A forum. Khas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still working hard on MH, trying to get at least a little work done on it every day, and more than a little whenever possible. megaplayboy, Derek Hiemforth, Steve and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
