Pathfinder HERO
|
|
Background
|
|
So, I've got a very detailed D&D
3e to HERO System Conversion thing that I provide elsewhere on the site
that's pretty widely referenced and used. However its very much a how-to, intended
to help GM's convert from whatever particular setting or combination of supplements
they use in their campaigns rather than a (practically impossible) attempt to provide
finished immediately consumable conversions of printed material. (There are also
matters of IP infringement to consider).
|
|
However perhaps the most common request I get from people regarding it is for more
examples of actual, concrete D&D characters and materials and what they look
like converted into the HERO System. So, I decided to choose an interesting D&D
3e based setting with high visibility and convert some material from it to serve
as a practical example. I initially chose Ptolus, but I got feedback that the rulebook
was too expensive, and ultimately fewer people acquired it than I initially thought
would.

|
Then came Pathfinder,
a new serialized setting / adventure path from
Paizo Publishing, the people responsible for putting out Dragon & Dungeon
magazines the last few years, up until WotC woefully decided to go all-digital and
killed off both.
|
|
The Paizo people are a talented bunch, including the likes of Erik Mona, long time
champion of my own favorite setting (The World of Greyhawk), RPGA, and other various
and sundry contributions to the fanbase. They have high production values and all
in all generally do a really good job of things.
|
|
While I'm not all that interested in it myself, I figured if there was any product
that a lot of people would pick up, out of curiosity if nothing else, it would be
at least the first issue of Pathfinder. The rest is here before you.
