You simply subscribe to the Mod here using the button above. On the discord simply message myself (same name)

OK I have looked here and on discord (and I have not been long on ether) and I have been unable to find where I can download the mod. Where can I do so? Also once I get it working where can I get objects to create the playing area?
Brennall  [author] Mar 1, 2021 @ 2:26am 
Yes, those in the Discord have access to the next version if you are interested.

Any further work or updates on this?

The next version is almost finished testing and is being used actively by a number of groups. It is possible using the "create a dice roll" ability to make knockback calculations and rolls.

Looks great. Any chance of adding knockback calculations with the dice roller?

Hello Panpiper .. seek me out on the Discord and we can talk about if it will work for you and give you some help!

Thank you for doing this. I absolutely love Hero System and have for nearly 40 years. I dream of someday actually getting to play it again (on a regular basis, other than PbP). The chance of ever finding an actual real life tabletop Hero game is vanishingly remote, but this could be nearly as good. I just hope my brain is sufficient to figure out the nuts and bolts. It's nowhere near as agile as it once was. If I can get this working for me, you've just majorly increased the quality of my life.

Hi s.gottlieb .. It sounds like you might have an old version of the JsonExporter or a complex character. The very latest version is v2.3 and is being uploaded this weekend. It is on my Github here: - https://github.com/Brennall/tts-hero-mod/blob/master/JsonExporter.hde

Hello. I tried to import character stats as described in the second video, but I got the error message: 'Error in script (character name-87f31f) function <doreaddesc>:chunk_0 Cannot access fieldassert of userdata<luagameobjectscript>

Hi Ailbe, join us over on the discord link above. We could always do with people willing to help!

If there is any way I can help, let me know. Hero System was by far my favorite system, and I'd love to see it successfully ported. This is a project I'd be willing to spend time on, if you need / want it.

Thanks Rampage. I hope it does!

Been playing Hero System since it was published. Built a few simple tables for it too. But what you have done is totally Next Level Awesome! I hope it spawns more players of the Hero System, which IMHO is the #1 RPG system for any genre. Certainly the work you have done here is the best I have seen. I look forward to seeing more. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Hero Designer export template file changed to Version 1.6 to improve martial arts and strength added damage. Please redownload

Each hex in the mod is done as 1m. You could simply halve the hex size and the ruler would measure in inches correctly for you.

1. No More Hexes - as above
2. Name Changes - No difference, mod ignores the name and extracts the data. a d6 is still a d6
3. Character Creation - The combat record does not care about comps / disads
4. Characteristics - I trust the output from hero designer. I do not calculate points
5. Comeliness - Only thing so far needing coding and exporter change
6. Skill Changes - as above trust what Hero Designer is telling me
7. Perks And Talents Changes - Lightning Reflexes works
8. Removed Powers - Same as above. Gliding already in
9. Changed Powers - Same as above
10. New Powers - Same as above

So one thing to change to support 5e is Comeliness.

Given the above you could change to TTS now on that basis and just make a custom dice roll to account for comeliness rolls.

Send me a friend request if you want to talk further about testing for 5e

Hey Brother Argos! There's a thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1z0s3k/hero_system_5th_to_6th/ with a quick summary and here: https://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/82828-5th-edition-vs-6th-edition/ that has another explanation of the various differences. I am wondering when importing from HD if it will easily handle the range conversion. In 5ER, 1" = 2 meters. In 6th, as you know, everything is just done in meters. A few other stats and name changes. I'd make the switch to 6th, but I our group has been playing for over a decade and is pretty heavily invested in 5ER.

And, to be totally clear, if you don't or can't do anything to make this more compatible, no worries at all! Roll20 isn't really compatible with 5ER either, and we are still using it. The work you've put in so far is definitely worth a cup of coffee, so if you've got a Patreon or something like it, post a link or friend me here and I'll treat a fellow gamer. :)

Hi Pancake is me .. Cheers .. it is only my first mod. I already have the second phase planned with more improvements.
Brennall  [author] Mar 18, 2020 @ 10:01am 
Hi Eightiesboi,

You are welcome. I am trying to help revitalise the hero system where I can.

Actually in theory it supports most of 5e already (certainly for killing rolls). I think the stall point will be comliness (I skipped the 5e era so forgive me). I am working on the videos at the moment, but would be happy to merge in 5e (and earlier) if you can find the differences for me. Just need a list of what is different from what is currently in the mod.

I am moving my entire gaming group online, for the obvious reason. We just started using Roll20, but I saw your work on this and it is really amazing! I assume though that it is made with Hero 6 in mind, yes? We're still playing on 5ER. Assuming I am correct, how difficult would it be for me to adapt the assets to 5ER?

Oh, and beautiful work! Thank you for making this!

Hi Mark, I responded to your query over on herogames forum!
mark.sinanju Mar 16, 2020 @ 11:21pm 
HOW do I actually get INTO this thing?
