Flagship - The Independent Magazine for Gamers

Hello everyone,

I have been a RPGer now for 32+ yrs ( I am currently 43) and have played Champions v2 since back to 1984. Over the years I have bought different Hero Systems products mainly for Champions genre game but within the last two years I have discovered Hero Systems has vasty expanded its genres.

Here is their web site:

Also here is their vast message board:

The Hero System is the 2nd largest system out there and is closing on D&D quickly, they are also almost as old as D&D as well. the current version 5 has a huge selection of many different products and they are all of use in what ever genre you wish to play in.

Now I use to play D&D v3.5 d20, but with the advent of their up and coming v4 I refuse to rebuy everything again because they have choosen to recreate the wheel again and refuse to have any conversion at all. Thus after 32+ yrs of playing D&D I am done and in the process of converting / reworking my Fantasy campaign, but am using Fantasy Hero System to do it. I am also planning on converting my Gamma World d20 to use Post Apocolypse Hero, and convert my Traveller to Taveller Hero. Thus I will finally be using one single system the Hero System, to run all three of my favorite genres with.

Now I just need the time to do all my converions, plus rewrite and rework of each of my three campaigns.

I used to be a strong fan of Hero system. Recently I gave Feng Shui another go. That system is all messed up, but it is fast, and that is Hero's big problem.
