Edsel Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: Hero Booth as a Headquarters Yea! My shame has been erased. The boot is gone. I guess we could always design a Hero Boot though. I'd be powered armor with sectional defenses area 17-18 only. But what sort of powers, other than defense, would we give it?

Thia Halmades Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Hero Booth as a Headquarters Jumping. Improved kicking. Concealed weapons. Extra running. Earthquake powers (slams). All sorts of nonsense. It's just a matter of making the reasonable decision and reasoning from effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Hero Boot as a Headquarters Tae Con Show. Steven S. Long: Come, buyers, and gather around the new convention booth, to see our fine assortment of HERO games products. Let us peruse the selection now. FREd Gruberman: Oo! Mr. Long! Mr. Long! SSL: Who disturbs my customers, as a fanboy disturbs Mark Hamill? FG: Ah... me! Fred! Fred Gruberman! SSL: ... FREd Gruberman? FG: Close enough! No disrespect intended but ah... how sturdy is this booth here? SSL: ... sturdy? The new booth is not merely a tool which we use to distribute our products, but a beckoning doorway for new players to join us in our appreciation of HERO games. FG: SO, what? DEF 2? Maybe? SSL: No, no, we do not measure ideas such as the power of knowledge contained in the booth with DEF. FREd Gruberman, you must learn to reason from effect. FG: Right, right, reason from effect! How many points does that cost? SSL: FREd Gruberman, Reason from Effect is the core principal upon which HERO games are based. Let us consult the index for further enlightenment on this topic. *pages turn* FG: AN INDEX?! I wanna hit people with the book right now! SSL: FREd Gruberman, Tae Con Show is a path which is to be used to educate others, such as yourself - never to simply win an argument through brute application of the rules, but to know the nuances of the text and all the endless possibilities it contains. Let us consult the index once more. FG: Listen, Steve, are we gonna start forcing people to buy this book, or am I gonna have to show you how to really sell the material? SSL: FREd Gruberman, you fail to grasp the principles of Tae Con Show. Approach, that you may see. Observe closely, fellow Herophiles. FG: Alright! Finally, some results! SSL: Booth To The Head *crunch* FG: OOOOWWW! YOU BOOTHED ME IN THE HEAD! SSL: You should count yourself lucky, FREd Gruberman. Few learn so much about HERO in a single day. FG: OW! I wasn't ready for that! Okay, c'mon, book writing guy, try it now, let's see what you -- SSL: Booth to the head. *crunch* FG: OW! Hey, okay, now I'm ready, try -- SSL: Booth to the head. *crunch* FG: Maybe I'll just... consult this index... SSL: Now, buyers, we can return our array of products... Heckler: Pardon me, Mr. Long? SSL: Yes, patron? Heckler: Mr. Gruberman was not wholly wrong. I want to run a Con Booth, too. SSL: Have you learned nothing from the lesson of FREd Gruberman? Heckler: Yes, Mr. Long, I have learned two things. First, that the Index is a tool, only as good as the person who consults it. SSL: Very good. Heckler: And to get in the first shot! Booth to the head! *erk* SSL: You failed to reason from effect. Heckler: Ah... YEAH, well, I've got a date with a booth babe... SSL: You, too, shall be honored to learn the nuances of the HERO system... Booth to the Head *crunch*. Heckler: Aiighhh! SSL: Can anyone tell what page to consult in this instance? Heckler2: Yes, Master, we believe all that knowledge is contained in the Index. SSL: Very good. Heckler2: But not even you can consult it fast enough to deal with all of us at once! GET HIM, GUYS! SSL: Booth *crunch* Booth to the *crunch* Booth *crunch* *crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch* Hecklers: AAiiighh... ohh... SSL: Let us now consult the index for Area of Effects... Great Googlymoogly! I think I just broken something trying not to laugh too loud here at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamo Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 HERO Writing Ah' date=' but can you do "Kung-Fu Fighting?"[/quote']Just remember: I'm no Tom Smith. Hero Writing (inspired by Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting") Steven Long was HERO writing. That cat was fast as lightning. In fact he was a little bit frightening, But he wrote with expert typing. There were crunchy combat rules and crunchy NPCs. He was setting DCs and he was setting CVs. It's an ancient Champions art that he knew right from the start, Put some points into a Con, and Recovery End and Stun. Steven Long was HERO writing. That cat was fast as lightning. In fact he was a little bit frightening, But he wrote with expert typing. There was mighty Mechanon and little Hummingbird. He said here comes Doctor D, (HA!) don't miss a word. He took the leader of Terror Inc, dropped his carcass in the drink. The silly questions made him dread, now we're into a brand new FREd. Steven Long was HERO writing. That cat was fast as lightning. In fact he was a little bit frightening, But he wrote with expert typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Typist Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: Hero Booth as a Headquarters Is it sad that every time I see that "Too Much Rep" box, I always try to click on it? I've always known it's fake, I always remind myself it's fake, I always remember the last time it STILL didn't work... But I can't help it. I always give in. What if???
