I thought I would post the logs from my Zombie Hero game "And the dead shall walk..." These logs contain adult language that may be offensive. They are also quite long. It is dawn and a storm looms on horizon. Dark thunderheads billow and churn in the distance, lightening flashing in ominous silence among them. Its been 3 days since you've seen any people. Any living people anyway. There are plenty of bodies. People killed in the rioting, or that actually succumbed to the Flu...or "them" and died in the wreck clogged streets. The charnel smell of fire and rotting flesh hangs faintly in the air, tainting everything you taste with its foulness. Supplies are running lo…

So, I just submitted my game proposals for a local convention and, since I didn't feel like running four supers games, I made one of them something that's probably more Horror HERO than anything else. I have the setting and threat down since I used it as an alternate universe in one of my campaigns, but now I need to run up pregenrated characters. Given the genre, these are normals -- the convenience store clerk, the off-duty paramedic, the bus driver... poor schlubs who've gotten caught in the middle of everything falling apart. I'm not quite sure where I want to do the point level. On the one hand, really low point characters may not interest convention players,…

I am putting together a PA game and want there to be a handful of standard powercell sizes for futuristic equipment to make the game a little more playable and fun for the characters. What I want to do is for the powercells to provide so many generic "charges" per use when fully charged. Then items that use them will expend a certain number of charges per use. An example would be a Laser Pack cell having 50 charges. Then the equipment that used that particular cell would look soemthing like this: Mark 1 Laser Pistol: Normal Shot - 2d6 RKA (1 charge) Overload (destroys gun and cell) EB Explosion (1d6 per charge left in the cell) Mark 1 Laser Ca…

With this week's reelase of my latest book, The Kevin & Kell Rroleplaying Game, I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on HERO conversions of the game, or on HERO roleplaying in Domain. I also wonder if there are fans of the comic strip that would have some insight on the subject.

The Renaissance Era can much be argued, but for our purposes it stretches from the late 13th Century to the early 17th Century. Followed by the Regency Era, the Victorian Era, The Pulp Era, and well you get the picture.

I just finished reading Laura King's spectacularly good novel The Beekeeper's Apprentice, about a teenage girl in 1915 Sussex whose life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a semi-retired Sherlock Holmes. the heroine, Mary Russell, learns Holmes' trade and eventually becomes involved in a deadly revenge plot against the Great Detective. the novel includes a barely-coeverd but quite intriguing sujourn to 1918 Palestine, during which the two have several adventures that King decides not to desribe in detail. I was wondering how to write up Mary, and would like to know if there are any other readers of this quite long series who have ideas on the subject.

How would one do a HERO campaign based on CALMP's multi-dimensional manga and anime series Tsubasa Reservior Chroncile? (In case you were wondering, the aniem just started in Japan a couple fo weeks ago and several groups are planneing to subtitle it.) Figuring out how to handle the dimensional-travel aspects would be tough. So would the fact that each world might have different verions of the same people.

Or, what is Susano working on now? Seeing as I have gaps of dead time at work (which right now is watching a lot of progress bars crawl across the screen), I've been working on some new character adaptations: HG Wells characters The Time Traveller and his Time Machine -- I'm rebuilding this one, editing characteristics, expanding skills, and making the Time Machine a vehicle. Moorlock -- generic Dr. Moreau -- I think he uses a Transform to turn animals into "people" The Invisible Man -- possible rebuild Dr. Cavor Selenites -- generic (did I mention I have a really nice collection of classic HG Wells stories in one volume? I am skipping WAR OF THE…

There has been a lot of heated discussion, cotnroversy, and general eyes-popping-out-in-disbelief over the new anime comedy series Bokutetsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan ("Club-to-Death Angel Dokuro-chan) and I have been wondering how to write up the character. I might ahve a go at it over the weekend, but first a couple of rules questions: 1. Is there any way in the HERO System rules to model bringing someone back from the dead, healing all his injuries so he's at full BODY and STUN, and cleaining up the mess you made when you took the top of his head off with a spiked club all in one action? 2. How big an Power Advantage is it to be able to "Transform: Person into Anyth…

I frequently hear the classic comedy RPG Teenagers from Outer Space referred to as "The Unofficial Uresei Yatsura RPG". if this is true, then the realtively new anime Trouble Chocolate is somebody's TFOS camapign gone horribly, horribly wrong. Cacao (who, despite the name, is male) is a student at a school with 100,000 students and staff, 666 subjects and over a thousand clubs. But that's not one of the important things about him. the improtant things abotu him are that he has a bottomless pit for a stomach, he has untapped natural magical power, and chocolate gets him drunk. This all fits together when a summoning teacher (yes, summoning magic is one of the sub…

The frist part of this three-epsiode OVA series just arrvied in fansub, and I was wondering how people would soggest gaming it. The central character is a junior high school boy named Souta who, unknown to himslf, has the power of the "key pof the Seal"/ Basically, God had been afraid of man's power so he split the world between a world of magic and a world of science. Souta lives in the 'world of science" (our world). Unfrotunately, a demon pricness from the world of Magic is looking for the key of the Seal and to kill the person who has it. So a "musketeer" named Akazukin and her wofl companion have come to our world to protect him. One of the pronblems with m…

This has been placed here as it seemed the thing to do, even though the character is a Champions character he borrows a lot from Wuxia style cinimatics My question is on asian philosiphy and Ch'i, specificaly how does Ch'i interact with the inanimate world. The character has two powers especificaly that I am trying to determine if he should take a "Only vs living" type limitation on 1) Find Weakness: Essentialy he is seeing how Ch'i flows through a target and finding weak points to strike via that 2) +2 DCV (in a MP) with him watching how Ch'I flows around him and reacting to it with superhuman nimbleness

Hello everyone. Okay for some of you that don’t know I have a convention coming up where I am going to be GM’ing a Martial Arts adventure. The write up I gave the convention was: Title: Students of Wan Feng and the Green Monkey Description: Medieval Martial Arts As students of the great Chinese martial artist Wan Feng you live a secluded life. However, all that changes when your “Sifu†goes missing and the local warlord declares your school to be outlawed. Can you find master Wan and your school's save the secret documents? The basic idea is that the characters all are from the same “school†and must fight and save their school. I do have a plot,…
