Feel free to do whatever you want to add to the Hero at Heart system, just please remember to only change pages that have already been established after discussion and concensus. Also, please try to keep to the mood of the system you are working in... If you want to make a comedy setting, that's fine, just make sure you don't put it within a serious campaign setting. No "Scooby-Doo-ing" in ESPER!
ALSO: If you enjoy playing this game, please tell your friends, share on Social Media and sites like Reddit, and most important of all, run games so others can experience it and do the same!
