Does anyone play Hellboy?

Paul Drye · 09-02-2004, 05:08 PM

I ask because I'm enormously enamored of the setting (here's a laugh: I bought the original Seed of Destruction mini-series when it came out ten years back because it was written by John Byrne -- my god, I was such a fanboy).

Anyway, I'm contemplating feeding my illness by writing a few pieces for the PbG Hellboy, for submission to Pyramid. Would anyone care to see such a thing happen? I've noticed no Hellboy there to date.

I don't play it, but considering that PbG stuff is still fairly usable for anyone who runs GURPS, and also considering that I think the setting kicks ass (but never bought the RPG), I'd truly love to see a few Hellboy articles in Pyramid.

Write it up and send it in! Steven loves "firsts".

The RPG is a really nice book. It's almost on par(IMO) with the deluxe edition of gurps 4th edition. And it's got the size and feeling of a comic book.

Not played it yet, I hate my fellow gamers, all they care about is leveling up (yeah, not gurps), but I'm going to change it somehow.

The movie finally reached the UK, so I went to see it last night.

It's certainly raised my interest in all things big, red and stoney-fisted. I might go seek the game out....

I have a regular play group every week. We've played nearly ten adventures so far, and been highly successful.

In a round-about way yes...

While I've never bought Hellboy, but intend to, I've purchased The Nocturnals for M&M and run it under GURPS...

If you're looking for a Dark Supernatural Supers game I suggest it... I love the Hellboy comics... but the Nocturnals has an edge for it's team aspect...

Yes please post them for Pyramid, since I love Hellboy, I would love to see Hellboy stuff on Pyramid.
