I think this thread serves well enough (though I think locking this one would be overkill).

The sixth page or so people are chatting about online games.
Check out my books, Titanomachies and Divine Retribution, on my blog!

I don't understand how you could be so addicted, Cocuutje.

You've joined (well, not too long ago actually..) during the time where HMW has been up and down. I'd be surprised if you had 1 solid day of play! lol

I like that sort of online games....... And always liked TF i think even longer than some guys here. They wern't even born when TF aired for the first time.

Yeah still a rookie (and since when does somebody care when i joined), but played it for several days.... Just looking to kill time untill HMW is back on....

I just thought it was interesting how you've joined like, 3 weeks ago, and how you seem to enjoy HMW a lot. And, of course, HMW has been up and down in those last few weeks, so I was surprised to see you enjoy for however long it was up for.

I think it's a good thing! And I hope you stick around for a while! The more people we have playing HMW, the better!

I've been playing AdventureQuest since HMW went down, that and creating a lot of polls in the Fantasy Battle Forum.

Take a Transformer toy, give it Armor Class (AC) based on how tough/agile it is (from 10 to 30), give it hit points based on size and sturdiness (multiples of 10), give it damage based on it's weapons (multiple six-sided dice) and attack bonus based on it's skill (d20+bonus); give it damage and attack bonus for both ranged and melee. Then give it different attacks for it's other modes, and different AC too (but keep it's hit points total). Then do the same for other TFs and have a live-action HMW battle at home!


If that's too complicated, you can try one of these systems:
