I have the 1st version of runewars.It's been a while since I played it, but I agree with their views on the fate cards. I mean I suppose I understand where the designers were coming from, but I like to chuck dice personally.
As far as the heros go, I don't recall the hero phases of the game bogging gameplay down too much, but it was our group's first time playing and we were still in learning mode.
Hope that helps.
