What is Heroes & Other Worlds?

Heroes & Other Worlds is a game of adventure inspired by Metagaming's classic Melee/Wizard/TFT system combined with inspiration from the Moldvay edited basic game. The rules are easy to learn and use standard six sided dice. The system is simple, sensible and flexible in the spirit of classic role playing games from the early 80's. Become a Hero, Other Worlds await!

Clint Staples has provided the following as a test for humanoid hit locations and effects.  Give it a spin and let me know what you think!

Hit Locations - Humanoids

51 – 59 Left Arm
41 - 50 Right Arm
28 - 40 Torso
20 - 28 Left Leg
11 - 19 Right Leg

Right Leg


Ranged [D66] Hit Location
64 - 66 Head
58 - 63 Left Arm
52 - 57 Right Arm
25 - 51 Torso
18 - 24 Left Leg
11 - 17 Right Leg

Minor Hit - Effects: Location hit but less that ½ ST – Next turn only.
  • Head – dizzy and confused, -2 DX and Move, 3/ Alertness or IQ to notice or act.
  • Arm – Lose the use of that arm, item carried [Weapon, torch, etc] is retained.
  • Torso – sickened and winded, -2 ST.
  • Leg – stumble, 1/2 Move.


Major Hit - Effects: Location hit for ½ ST or more – Effect continues until Healed or Physicked.
  • Head – as above; roll 3/ EN to remain conscious.
  • Arm – Lose use of that arm, drop anything carried.
  • Torso – as above; roll 3/ ST to stay standing.
  • Leg – drop to knees, fight from there, Move = 2.


If a location, previously wounded, is damaged again, the effect automatically becomes a Major Hit.

  1. So, as was demonstrated in the session I ran tonight - I totally screwed up the d66 hit locations. Obvious to all but me was things like there being no number 17 in a d66 progression. I worked a quick fix, but I am going to redo it further. Probably losing the d66 though.
