Nice, too bad I already have all those. I was a very avid fan of the Hero System.

It really is coming along. I think I have run 6 sessions with the ruleset, and it is getting more and more streamlined The improvements that BF has made to the Combat tracker have made handling PCs on Hold, Recovering, etc quite easy. Using FG simplifies keeping track of combat as it should. This last session I didn't have anything that I could suggest, that needs work. Must be a good sign.

Been spending time trying to refresh my brain with Champions rules after having a fairly long break playing PF.

It did take a little bit to get used to the idea that the PC who was active is at the top of the tracker. I think it was an elegant solution to the problem of having PCs that get to act a different number of times per turn. Just takes a while to adjust from how other games work.

I still have Hero Designer 3.0, so I bought some of HD packs from Drivethrurpg.com ( Conquerors, Killers and Crooks for example ) and used the handy conversion tool to make modules to import NPCs into the game. That is quite handy too. To be able to still get those Hero 5th HD packs is going to make things less time consuming.

surely you must feel like you are more like version 0.6.8 by now

[Blackfoot]

Nah. I was numbering them 0.0.x but the actual release numbers only take 'real' decimals... so this is actually 0.11 ... 0.09 would come out as 0 .. so I went from 0.0.7 to 0.1.0.. I didn't have any 'releases' for a long time. Now that we are running regular testing every week.. the releases are a lot more frequent.

And do we have to wait for it to get to v1.0 before we can play with it?
Having bought 3 different BoH packs of books and now looking at the Aaron Allston's Strike Force kickstarter, I feel I need to start joining in the fun... ;-)

I've run several playtest games at the last few FGCons.. that's probably the best way to get to play with it at this point.. otherwise it's wait for 1.0
