Ok here is a small challenge. At the very begining of the 1981 film Heavy Metal there is a short scene where a car is dropped out of the bottom of a space shuttle, drops down through the atmosphere and lands on a road. the driver shifts gears.. lets lose with a parachute out the back and then drives on his merry way. How would you make that car?

I just got the weird idea of doing an espeionage campaign set in the 1970s, when I first got into the genre. Girls, guns, gadgets, vehicles of eevry description you can imagine, and you get your choice of dealing with the KGB or some mad industrialist who decided he;d rather exterminate homo sapiens than make money.

Years ago I had the FGU game Bushido, what I was wondering is how good was the material and what "type" of Ninja HERO setting would it most closely fit into. Its been years and while I remember playing a bit and having fun I really don't remember much about it and was wondering if it was worth locating as material for HERO, I think I saw it was still available someplace. Thanks

With Dark Champions not due until 2004, is there any way before then that we can get a listing of firearms that people can use in their campaigns? I'd like to be able to know what sort of weapon that policeman is wearing on his holster, what kind of and how much damage his shotgun does (and what the range penalties are), and how much Armor of Damage Resistance you really need to bounce a tank shell off your chest. I'd like to know what kind of small arms the terrorists your dark hero is beating up on prefer, and how much it costs in points to equip your super-antihero with an M-16. What kind of firewarms coverage will Dark Champions have, anyway.

Me and my freinds were trying to compose a Vampire campaighn for hero and couldn't think of any ideas for a cool story line or character packages. We kinda wanted it to be like Vampire Hunter D, the Anime move, but like i said we couldn't think of anything. Please write if you have any ideas or if you have anything to say on the subject. Thanks

So here's the thing; My players have eagerly agreed to play a HK style action game using the hero system. I told them that I would be designing the characters at first, since I've got a pretty specific idea of the sorts of characters that would fit in the game. They have graciously agreed. The basic premise of the game is that each Pc was an assassin of some sort at one time in their lives, and are now looking for redemption. they have been brought together by an interested third party who will give them the opportunity to help "balance the scales" a bit. I've got three of of the five characters already down. 1- A 2 guns blazing, chow yun fat type. Of c…

Ever watch "Smallville," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," or "Roswell?" Seems to me that this is a nascent sub-genre that needs a little attention. The idea's a little kooky, but effective and identifiable. There's a humble, little town somewhere where things go bump in the night more than other places in the world. These bumping things are something which the authorities are incapable of dealing with so it falls to a single teen, or small group thereof, with extraordinary abilities to deal with this recurring paranormal threat. Granted, in the TV shows there's usually only one paranormal teen, so in a game you may want to make that a small group of teens with paranormal-…

Has anyone written up any of the charaters from the Meiji-era anime series Ruroni Kenshin ? I wonder how many points it's worth to have such kick-tail swordsmanship skills that you can disable people with a sword without disemboweling them by the simple act of fitting your blade backwards....

Okay, here is my question. I am creating a character for a modern, low-powered, martial arts campaign. He is a professor of Asian Philosophy. (I have a thread posted in Champions [don't know why I didn't put it here, reflex I guess] on his actual character design if anyone cares to look and offer comment.) http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=865 We are supposed to be students at a martial arts school. The professor is studying Karate because he keeps getting hassled by people who expect him to know it already. One of his quirks is the quoting of pithy Oriental sayings. My problem is, I don't know that many! Does anyone k…

For the past month or so, including much of the time that HeroGames was down, I have spent a ton of energy developing various creatures that I plan on having my characters encounter in the Chronicles of the Wishes game. There most recent encounter is the Snow Lyon which is an evolved bobcat that has been fused with ice magic (a subdivision of water magic) from the arctic region. I discovered that this creature has been incredibly lethal, much more than I anticipated. First, the creature is powerless without snow nearby. This is only a -0 limitation on powers because the creature has the ability to summon up a megascaled blizzard that is blinding. I had no idea h…

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... Wait wrong movie!! A long time ago there was a book published that listed every firearm from flintlocks to machine guns. It included hand grenades and bazookas. It even included mortars and flamethrowers. It listed each weapons stats including a standard ammunition load. At the back of the book in the appendix it listed Hero stats for every weapon. I think it also listed MSP&E stats but I'm not sure. Does anyone know the name of the book or the publisher. I know it is out of print, but with the name/publisher I can start my search.

With Chapter 1 of my campaign, Chronicles of the Wishes, about to come to an end, I'm curious if anyone would like to hear the story thus far on here? It is certainly a very interesting campaign with more twists and turns than even I anticipated.

Well, inspired by Storn's mention of the Tekkan characters in the RDU he plays in, I thought I would rip off the idea shamelessly and include Lei Wulong as an NPC in my Champions background - a sort of Jackie Chan/James Bond hybred. Once I got started on him, I realised that he was coming out pretty close to 350 points - so I thought I'd make that exact and have him as a potential Player Character. What I'm looking for is comments on the character, and suggestions for the last 40pts of disads. I decided to put him here instead of the Champions forum, because despite where I'm planning to use him, he seems more of a Dark Champions/Ninja Hero character. Fire away!…

The World The setting is fairly modern, the birth of the 21st Century. The character archetypes are all there. There are several Criminal Organizations/Business Conglomerates to divide the world under their influence. There are also several justice-minded organizations to oppose them. Mysticism runs rampant; there are mutants, cyborgs, sorcerers, supernatural beasties, demigods, demons, and robots. This type of campaign could best be described as “superheroes with a different costume codeâ€. The heroes and villains are for the most part very open in their identities. The numerous street fighting tournaments around the world have given these heroes and villa…

I know I already mentioned this on the other boards, but now that they're defunct, I thought I'd resurrect the topic here. Twilight of the Dead is my own recently-created guide for roleplaying the gritty survival horror of George Romero's Living Dead films in HERO System. There are also notes for adapting the concept to other settings and power levels as well as converting things to other game systems. You can read (and download) it all for free here. Enjoy!

I got a subscription to the first 12 issues of Raijin Comics (a good buy, if you like manly stories about manly men doing manly things in a manly way.) One of the series featured was "Bomber Girl", most notable for lasting only eleven chapters in Japan. But as long as I paid money for it, I thought you'd like to see a writeup.

My fantasy hero campaign is under way and going well, but I am just not satisfied yet. I am thinking of starting a web/email based campaign. Let me know what you guys think, and if anyone wants to try it, send me an email @ markwp@northrock.bm First, everyone gets a 450pt character. Complete background, history, etc. they start with an experienced and skilled Hero. Second, everyone dies. Then the game begins. Based on a mechanism that I will not inform anyone of yet, the ghosts of the characters can try and affect the physical world. Experience will be in the form of greater success at using old abilities and greater control over your ghostli…
