Rolemaster Shadow World Conversion

[Tywyll]

Hey,

Anyone remember the old Shadow World Boxed set, way back when Rolemaster and Hero were done together? I have the boxed set, but I've lost the conversion guide that had all the Hero Stats

I would desperately love to get my hands on the stats for the 'Shards' and 'Greater Shards' monsters if anyone wouldn't mind either posting them or sending me a PM.

And assuming it doesn't violate any rules of course. I do own the stuff, just can't put my hands on the book.

Thanks!

That doesn't really help. Since I'm trying to convert a monster, and monster stat lines are, sadly, very different from PC stats, the stuff in this doc only barely touches what I need.

I did. Please check out my response.
Unless there is a link I'm not seeing, the only /actual/ info I can find on that site is a link to a PDF dealing with converting PC characteristics. That won't help with monster stats as they are from an old school game that did monsters completely differently from pcs.

If I am missing something, please point me to the actual link.

Oops

Sorry

Yeah, I lost that information myself. I would very much like to have it back, but alas, all I have access to is the new Shadow World master atlas and it doesn't have any HERO stats in it (though I have no problem converting on my own)

If I remember right, the Shards were Automatons with ungodly amounts of Speed. I think their Speed scores were in the 6-8 range!

lemme go digging, I have the relevant books here myself, gonna be after christmas though, I can work up at least some rough stats for the shards.

I havent really done much conversion of the rolemaster critters, but I will see what I can put together

I'll also check my Shadow World box set when I get home. I actually sold the first release when I was in hard times, but I bought the box set last year when I saw it for sale. I'm not sure if it is the same as the first printing, but I'll let you know.

A friend of mine has all the Shadow World stuff from the era of dual-statting; I cannot remember seeing any Shard stats though.

I have been toying with the idea of converting the Feeder Races (Hue Eaters, Bone Eaters, Flesh Eaters, etc. - i.e. the followers of the Breathless) to HERO, as soon as Real Life(TM) lets me.

This will actually be a conversion from Bladestorm as the Shadow World Atlas I have (2nd ed.) had an error in it (well, it looked like an error - it looked like some paragraphs had been left off the page and not flowed onto a new one) where they were described, but not statted up properly (whereas their masters were). The only stats I have were those in the Bladelands Sourcebook (part of the Bladestorm boxed set).

As soon as I get them done I will post them here/and or put them on the Hero Designer site. I was going to do an Agath (Demon-Drake), but the HB, MMM and NKN volumes have that pretty well covered already.

Eventually I hope to turn stuff out with the regularity and the quality of Susano's output (), but first I have a load of Real Life Work () to do (and my 'mousing' shoulder needs to quit giving me trouble - that's where I am prone to RSI-type problems, and it's not much fun when my job [typesetting + book layout] involves moving a mouse around all day).

Finally took a look, I had 4 source books that were all the dual stats, and the Master Atlas, which is 2nd edition unfortunately. The only Shard stats I found were in the Master Atlas, but they were strictly Rolemaster. Sorry. I looked through the other source books and couldn't find any write ups for them there either.

For Bismark, my book also seems somehow incomplete regarding them. I couldn't find any paragraph errors, but it looks like they failed to include more info. Give me a page reference and I'll check mine to be sure.

I know without a doubt that there were FH stats for shards SOMEWHERE, but they weren't all that well written, IIRC. Still nasty tho.

On the topic of nasty...
Try writing up a Shadoworld Navigator

They were most likely in the 1st edition master atlas.

I agree, the Navigators are insanely powerful.

RPMiller: Regarding the 'missing bits' pertaining to the Hue-Eaters and Breathless in the Shadow World Master Atlas 2nd edition:

I misremembered the nature of the mistake - they were mentioned in the text on pp. 79-80 but the stats were omitted from the chart on page 82 (odd - 5 Agothu mentioned in text, only 4 statted up in the table; 6 Agothu servants mentioned in the text, only 5 statted up in the table).

I have just found my copy of Bladestorm, so Hue-Eater stats will be done [I love the Ogres in this book - furry, tailed marsupials ...]
