There's been some interesting comments though in the general discussion. Forget Status Points, Plot Points and the fact that Michael Cule dares to dislike the system. A while back, someone, I won't embarrass them further here, suggested that "Xena - Blurry Thing On Channel 5" was a good model for a combat system and that HW fitted the bill exactly. Then someone else compared it to "The A-Team." AND THEY WERE PEOPLE WHO LIKED THE SYSTEM! Don't let these people loose on the marketing campaign: "HERO WARS - The GLORANTHAN RPG (Can simulate any old cock found on the tube with no additional rules!)"
One can now see what young Greggily Weggily meant when he wrote "Only a couple of diehards had difficulty adjusting to a new paradigm, as we'd expected..."
Roll on the indeterminate month when the game comes out,
