Fantasy Hero (3e)
You've just entered a fantastic world of heroes¸ adventures¸ and enchantments-the world of Fantasy Hero. Through these rules¸ you'll learn how to create a fantasy world and how to create stories set in that world. You and your friends will create heroic characters to star in these stories¸ and working together¸ you'll create adventures as gripping as any you've ever read. These adventures will be even more exciting because you¸ in the guise of your character¸ will be making the choices¸ defeating the villains¸ and rescuing the maidens. Fantasy Hero is a roleplaying game¸ where the players create characters and play their roles in a story created by the Game Master. These rules show you how to create characters¸ how to resolve combat¸ how to fashion a world¸ and how to invent stories. Fantasy Hero is a game for many people to play. One person¸ who's decided to be the Game Master¸ has to read and understand all of these rules¸ since he'll be creating the stories and settings and guiding the player-characters through these stories. The players need only create or be given characters to play-but the more they know about Fantasy Hero¸ the easier it will be for the Game Master to tell his story. Fantasy Hero uses the Hero System¸ a consistent set of roleplaying rules that has been used in Champions (superhero roleplaying)¸ Justice Inc. ('20s and '30s roleplaying)¸ and Danger International (modern roleplaying). Characters created in any of these games can play in any of them. The basic rules in each game are the same¸ though each game has different special rules for its particular genre. Once you've learned to play any one of these games¸ you'll know how to play them all!
