Lifetime RPer here. I switched to HGd10 some years ago and it is my favorite system for freedom and simplicity. It allows for maximum creativity and fun. When friends recruit me to play the old granddaddy of tabletop rpgs - I explain to them, I cannot revert back to those restrictions and complicated rules/dice structure. I cannot revert back to times when you're superpowered hero rolls a 1 - failing to swat a fly.
Hgd10's flexible rule system and character creation means: if you can think of it, you can play it.
Balance is thrown out. Thank goodness! There are no boss-babe 90 lb supermodels physically overcoming the strongest assassins on the planet. Woke insanity does not inherently permeate the system.
Pros: Flexibility, Creativity, Freedom, Simplicity
Cons: if you're stuck in your ways - you're going to miss out!
Give this highly-developed / play-tested-for-many-years game a try. You won't regret it. Get in from the beginning!!

Really looking forward to this launch - I've been in the orbit of HGd10 for a while now and it's easily one of the best systems I've had the pleasure of being a part of.
This RPG delivers a ruleset that feels instantly fun and effortlessly smooth. Every mechanic is designed to keep players in the action, making turns faster, choices clearer, and gameplay more exciting from the moment you sit down. It’s approachable for newcomers and deeply satisfying for veterans — the kind of system that makes you want to grab some dice and start playing right away.
Character creation is where this game truly shines. The customization options are bold, flexible, and extremely engaging, letting players build exactly the kind of hero they want. Whether you’re crafting a finely tuned powerhouse or experimenting with a wild new concept, the system gives you the freedom to make something that feels uniquely yours. It’s intuitive, it’s creative, and it’s the kind of process that leaves you buzzing with ideas.
If you love games that empower players, spark creativity, and keep the energy high at the table, this RPG is going to hit all the right notes. It’s polished, fast‑paced, and loaded endless with possibilities — a must‑have for any gamer who wants a character‑driven experience that’s as fun to build as it is to play.

I have never enjoyed the depth and flexibility of a game system so much. The ease with which it can be deeply crunchy, or free-flowing and chill is amazing. Its even better when you get more comfortable with the rules and even the crunchy game begins to be free flowing. Anything you can imagine can be brought to life and it has been a pleasure to play; be it as a pure mage absolutely blasting a dragon sized dinosaur with with my full Myr pool and SO many dice, or as a body-magic wielding counter-assassin-sword-mage dancing through combat with the grace of a tiger, and the force of a raging gorilla... What kind of Hero will YOU bring to the Guild?!

I started play Hero’s Guild back in November of 2025, and it is one of the most engaging tabletop RPG experiences I've played. Using a D10-based system, it strikes a great balance between accessibility and depth, allowing both new and experienced players to jump in and enjoy the game.
What really sets Hero’s Guild apart is its real-time character growth. Your skills, abilities, and power develop naturally through your actions and choices during play rather than feeling locked behind rigid progression systems. Every session feels meaningful because your character evolves based on how you actually play them. The system encourages creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving while still making combat and challenges exciting. Successes feel earned and character advancement feels organic and rewarding. The world-building and roleplay opportunities are excellent, giving players plenty of freedom to shape their own stories while still providing enough structure to keep the game moving.
If you're looking for a tabletop RPG where your character's growth reflects your journey and decisions in real time, Hero’s Guild is absolutely worth trying. It's a refreshing take on progression that makes every adventure feel unique and personal.

Playing Hero's Guild is an absolute blast! After playing a few characters and getting to experience the gameplay, the game strikes a great balance between structure and freedom. The rules provide enough structure to keep things smooth, yet leaves the door wide open for imagination. I will admit that grabbing the reigns to play the game takes some time, but even with a basic understanding I still had the space to do so much.
5/5 : Will continue to play as long as I'm able.

The Hero's Guild system takes the mundane restrictions out of the TTRPG experience, creating a one of a kind experience. Once you use Hero's Guild all other systems will feel like stepping stones leading you to what you really wanted all along!
