I am fine with either

Bridget and I are fine with either also.

I think the session went pretty well. I hope everyone had a good time.
Players, please post some feedback on the ruleset, features you liked.. but more importantly features you'd like to see or that existed but didn't work quite right.

Also: I'm going to run this again..

Started a new thread to discuss it HERE.

Had a fun time. The ruleset ran great (though I am sure you were juggling behind the scenes) All in all, a great Champions experience.

You touched on nearly everything I saw deficient, the base STR die roll, combat modifier effects (1/2 dcv, 0 dcv, +/- cv, dbl dmg for surprise.invisible, etc.), token markers/icons for states (stun, dazed, entangled, etc.) I think you're on the right track, I really can't add anything you didn't mention yourself during the game.

I had a great time. It was fun playing Champions again after all these years. Bridget really enjoyed it also for her first time playing. She actually wants to play again soon and so do I.

I think the ruleset worked very well. As we discussed after the game, it still needs some work before release.

I thought the combat tracker was well done. It had a nice simple but elegant approach to a very complicated turn system. There are still a few things that need to be added but it seemed like one of the strong points of the ruleset.

The look and feel was another very strong point. The font and layout were really impressive.

The use of Weapons and Effects to handle powers also worked very well. It would be nice to combine those together so you don't have to go to separate areas to do the attacks and apply the effects. I also liked the effects you already had available.

OTG_Wraith mentioned some of the issues we had and you definitely needed to do some juggling behind the scenes but it helped with a lot of little things that really sped things up. The 2 biggest ones that come to mind are initiative tracking and hit/miss results (It was great not having to do the math with OCV/DCV to figure out the target number).

Keep up the good work and let me know if you are doing a different scenario in the future.

Hi. This sounds amazing. I looked into a VTT a few years back, but because none of them had a Hero System ruleset I never got in to it. But now... I'd be willing to get Fantasy Grounds for this. Where would I be able to add/download this Hero System ruleset you've built, or is it still not readily available to the general public?
