badger3k Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Just looking through some older stuff I have, and decided to reread the Fading Suns (d20 version). I like the setting somewhat, but didn't care for the d20 rules for it. Since Hero is useful for the base, before I did any conversions, has anybody else done any? I only found a few threads, but nobody had posted anything (or gave any links) (unless I missed them, that is). So, did anybody do anything with it?

KawangaKid Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Alas ... no. I haven't been able to do any conversions. It's a course enough damage scale that you can handle it relatively easily. The HERO stats would have to be shoe-horned into the system's emphasis for Spiritual stuff...

Rick Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I just download and read the basic source material from Holist's Web site...shouldn't be a difficult translation. Fading Suns is fairly generic Space Opera. No shoe horning, remember write up the source material, not the game system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuSoardGraphite Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Thats pretty cool. Never knew much about Fading Suns, but that was an interesting read. I'd play that (if it used HERO of course...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookwyrm Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I own the original Fading Suns RPG and have been slowly converting it over to Hero stats. The old Fading Suns system used a point system to build characters and to purchase weapons and equipment. Doing a Hero conversion is not much of a stretch. I have been using Fantasy Hero more as the backbone for my conversion more than Star Hero. Shield technology and its feudal culture makes the Fading Suns setting more of a Swords and Starships genre. I have found the Spiritual Stuff coverts over to Hero stats somewhat smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
