Haven't played HERo but I really enjoy the M&M3 system


Wait, wait, wait .... the true problem that I had with 4E wasnt the power based character classes, the ease of adventure structure thanks to monster stat blocks, or the total change of core classes to essential class models .... it was the total lack of support for their own core campaign setting. The Nentir Vale was a good area for adventure. It was full of interesting people, places & organizations that were both fulfilling & entertaining; but referencing a board game to map the world south of the Vale was tiresome. I know I could have just created all this on my own but I truely love going back on all my world-building to keep a campaign world on track with the core system. I don't care what system you play, if it makes you happy & keeps your imagination then so be it, but a campaign system MUST have the support of the game designer or that game is nothing more than pure home-brew. Wizards gave the 4E fans a taste of Eberron, Athas & the Forgotten Realms but that is where their support ended. I know that another edition of Dungeons & Dragons will be received by all in the gaming community, Wizards will supply all the usual source material in a new format & we will either hate it or love it .....
Bottom line here is: Support your game systems! Home-brew or not but support the game systems or those of us who do home-brew, will create on our own & new editions of old favorites may become the do-do of the beloved industry.
Just my two cents.


I don't disagree with any point made thus far, but as a former player of 4E, I was a little upset that the game I was playing was being revised after I had finally adapted a campaign my players enjoyed. I feel like I had to "House-Rule the crap out of the system to have something to actually play. I have finally moved over to Pathfinder & hopefully can stay for a spell.
Just my two cents.
