Hi everyone! If I were to play either the Aeon Trinity setting or the Mutant Chronicles setting using the Hero system, would Star Hero be of any help to me? Is there any other book that might be of intrest?

Brain Dorio (silver marble) was about to give this stuff away about a month ago. I stopped him. Now is the time. Enjoy the fun with this. Full TE compatible write up, deck plans, new AI, and ground vehicle. Thisi s from out home TE Star Hero campaign. For those who know me, I ran "Terror Formed" aka "Search and Rescue" at Gen Con. I will be posting the files seperatley as they are too large to be posted individually. Hope you can use this in your home campaign.

I was at a conference this last week. The conference center was a heavy, dark place, with some tall hallways and rooms (Hynes Conference Center in Boston), and it got me to thinking about goverment complexes in sci fi settings. Obviously the rooms and hallways have to be made wider and taller in order to make more room for the larger races in the empire/universe. In addition, in common sitting rooms there would be a variety of funrniture so that multiple races would have comfortable* places to sit and wait. In addition rooms would have to be made larger (taller and wider) in order to provide room for races which take up more volume and area. For those with spec…

I was thinking of making an alien martial artist for Champions (I know, wrong forum) but that started me thinking... what martial arts would have survived/developed in the TE Setting? The only ones I see mention of is fencing on one Terran world, and Commando Training for certain packages. While I don't want to have my starpirate campaign turn into "Ninja Hero in space" (Not that that couldn't be cool in it's own right), more than one of my players is playing an alien and might want to spend some exp in that area (though frankly, I think dirty infighting variations would be the typical pirate thing). So, any thoughts on which races might have their own styles e…

Hi Hero Games! Here is one approach to a Star Hero campaign set in the Terran Empire setting. Players are the captain and crew of The Gunslinger Betty, a battered old survey ship turned into salvage vessel ( read - space going garbage truck ). Where there are bright and shining examples of gleaming pinnacles of technology in the fleet the Betty is on the extreme -other- end of the spectrum. Barely functional from voyage to voyage and loving referred to as "The Coffin" or "That @!*# Death Trap..." the Betty carries it's ship's compliment and crew on salvage missions picking up on worlds which the line of colonization, high adventure and blazing starship bat…

Imagine makind built start\ships to seek out new life and new civilizations,e tc. -- and didn;t find any? Carl Sagan theorized that is possible that all civilizations that reach a certain stage of tehcnological development inevitably destory themselves. For example, any civilzation that develops atomic power would inevitably obliterate itself in a nuclear war. If Earth were to beat those odds, but every other civilization that reached the Atomic Age wnet up in a string of mushroom clouds, than we would indeed be alone in the universe. What kind of starfaring camapign would emerge if this were the case? Many of the most theortically desirable worlds to colonize …

People always think of these super-dramatic things that they or their characters would do if they had access to time travel. Which leads me to ask what sounds like a personal question -- if you had access to time travel technology, what would YOU do with it? Personally, I'd use it for mundane little things which would hopefully not damage the timestream. If you can go back in time by a couple of hours, you'll never be late for work. And think of the boon for a game collector if you can go back to when your favorite game was in print and pick up a copy and carry it back to the present! I'd be tempted to go forward to hwen my favorite new movie comes out on DVD, but th…

This should be in the Nongaming discussions, but I dropped it here to reach a wider audience. :-) If you haven't yet purchased the Farscape Season one DVDs, you might want to look at mediaplay.com. They have the entire first season for 45 bucks. The SRP is 139. Amazon has it for 127. At that big a discount, I felt the need to let people know- mainly because I avoided them so long because of the price. Back to regularly scheduled gaming conversations.

It worked!

Pardon, I know no one asked, but I just had to say.... It worked! I ran my first ever Star HERO game yesterday. It seemed to be a hit! This is the same group that included one player who hated/was bored by Sci Fi, but loved Pirates. I made the story about intersteller piracy, and ran the 'origin story' if you will for the crew, and they all liked it and want to keep it. We don't get together too often, and have other campaigns, but it did not die at birth. Whew... sorry about this, I just had to go and cheer.

Since this question was once asked of the Star Frontiers setting, and since I actually have had time to read this most excellent book myself- I thought I'd ask what race(s) in the Terran Empire setting is your favorite? I've been looking at them for a bit now. I'm not sure I could pick just one. Here are three that stick out for me... I like the Osathri, they seem rather handicapped in play... but I can't help but feel for their plight. You could get a lot of drama for either a loyalist or a discontent. Fish with attitude. The Fassai with their 'hundred houses' strike me as something a player or GM could tailor easily, while still maintianing a common threa…

Anyone have any websites or other suggestions that would have blueprints for spaceships? I just really need a floor plan, as the hero books have stats and such.

On Pages 8-9 of Terran Empire the history mentions an independent little colony called Capac, that didn't want to join the new Terran Empire right at it's start. The plucky little planet paid the price and it's capital city was seized.... fair enough. For some reason, that intrigued me right there. When we got into planet descriptions starting on pg. 68, I went looking for a description of it. Only it wasn't there. Not a big deal, I figure there are a few options on 'where' it is... 1. It's destroyed utterly somehow. 2. It's name was changed (Maybe it's Triumph?) 3. It's no longer imporant enough to bother putting on the map. While any official …

Pyrokinetics?
by Guest oddbatt- 2 replies
- 106 views
I was going over the Psionics rules and noticed that they lack any information on Pyrokinetic powers. Most of them can easily be created, except one so I need some help. How do you simulate psionically igniting objects without external flame? Not really an EB because it does not immediately eradicate the object you are igniting. Not really a Transform because the item is destroyed (however slowly) in the process. So... any ideas? Thanks! Pax.

My copy of Terran Empire finally arrived in the mail today! Now I can start making devious plans for my Embassy to Mon'da campaign (no doubt further complicated by the contents of The Spacer's Toolkit once I have a hard copy of that).

I just got my copy of Terran Empire, and so far I'm finding it pretty good. One thing which concerns me though is all the jokes my players are inevitably going to make when they find out about the existence of the Fex. I'm wondering if Mr Cambias knew what the word meant when gave the name to a major alien race? I'll give you a clue: the plural is "faeces".

I was thinking of converting this type of Jedi for my game. I'm just having some questions on how to make this power for linking to people/objects I was considering basing on the mind link power.

Greetings, I am building a starship that has FTL travel. One of the optional adders is "Rapid Non Combat Movement" does not have a description in FREd. Can someone shed some light on what this advantage means?? Thanks! Polaris

Greetings all, One of the neat things about playing Star Hero is the wide variety of worlds that can be explored. In our game, some of the players are playing heads of their own governments (like Starfire). One of the empires is more of a fantasy flare (one of the worlds in that empire is Fearun). The player who plays the empire filled with mostly magic was going to send a probing task force into Thorgan space (why pick on a small empire when you can provoke one of the biggest bullies on the block). She contends that the Thorgans would not likely have much resistance to the magic weapons of her warships. Any thoughts?? I don't know if this would be overly…
