"The HERO System is Hero Games's award-winning roleplaying game system. Voted the Best Roleplaying Game of All Time by InQuest Magazine, it offers you more freedom to create exactly the character you want than any other system available.

The HERO System is unique because it's the only game on the market offering players and GMs the means to create any character they want, and yet keep that character balanced against other characters and threats. It's a point-build system based around the concept of special effects. The rules are written generically, allowing the gamer himself to decide exactly what a power or ability does, and then define it in game terms. For example, you won't find a "Lightning Bolt" or "Wings" power in the book that says, "Here's how you blast people," or "here's how you fly." Instead, the game elements are defined generically. Instead of Lightning Bolt there's Energy Blast and Killing Attack - Ranged; instead of Wings there's Flight.

As a player, you might decide, "I want my character to be able to fly - he has wings." Instead of just writing down whatever the game's designers say "Wings" do, you decide how to represent Wings in game terms, using Flight and some Power Modifiers. A character with the ability to fly by manipulating gravity would build his power using Flight in different ways, since gravity manipulation and wings, while both enabling a character to fly, work differently.

The result of this is that you aren't constrained by what the game's designers think. You apply your own creativity and the unmatched flexibility of the HERO System to create what you want.

Around the Hero Games offices, we like to explain it this way: Most games are like boutique stores: they cover one subject really well, but don't really provide anything else. A few systems, including other supposedly "generic" or "multi-genre" ones, are like department stores. They offer you lots of stuff, but you have to find it, and they may not have something you want. The HERO System is like Home Depot. It provides the tools to build anything you want - but you have to know what you want and how to do the work."

Gamers For Humanity is a not-for-profit organization, founded for the purpose of giving gamers a chance to organize for charitable activities and fellowship.

Lisa and Lori (with lots of help!) created Redneck Life.
Lisa grew up in Sweet Home, Oregon. Redheaded stepchild of an auto body guy (yes, the body shop had a keg-er-ator), she had a chance to see, first hand, how folks made the most of what they had and to have a good ol' time in the process.
She worked her way through college getting a B.S. in P.E. at O.S.U. (Oregon State) and made a career out of playing. Why not? Lisa married a Marine Corps pilot and lived in Virginia, Mississippi, California, Florida, North Carolina, Salt Lake City, and now Washington State. Lots of opportunities for research and development!
She is currently married to her first husband and has 3 redheaded children who are pert-near grown. Lisa has a flag and windsock company Celebration Flags, a few acres in the woods and is a dog trainer with a lots of critters: horses, a donkey, goats, dogs, birds, and a cat.
Lori grew up in Palos Verde, California with a premiere address, but in a single working parent household struggling to get by.
She married a couple of times, moved a lot getting a taste of life around all parts of the country. Mention Road Trip! and she packs up her brown paper suitcase and is ready to hit the road for more research and development!
Lori started up the Humane Society for Pulaski County in Kentucky. She saw a need, put her mind and energy to it for and made it happen.
Sales and Marketing is her specialty...oh, and guzzling the beer to make-fer more moving pieces. She is currently living in Kentucky? California? Salt Lake City? Depends on the week. But wherever she is she is guzzlin' beer takin' it for the team!

Those folks who run all the cool Call of Cthulu games.

The MU Skulls are a group of like minded people with a desire to run entertaining and creative roleplaying games. We specialize in horror roleplaying but very much enjoy a wide variety of games.
