doppelganger Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Would it be possible from someone to post the table of contents for Terran Empire? Legally, I mean. I'm interesting the book, but I would like a rough overview of what's in it. Steve, is that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I wish the old message boards were still up. Steve posted that information there before everything crashed. I wish I had saved a copy; I would have reposted it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Here is a really quick overview: Chapter 1: History Covers 2397-2703. (7-16) Chapter 2: Peoples of the Milky Way Humans, Species of the Empire, Other species of the Federation, Species of the Conjoined Civilizations, Other Galactic Species. (17-48) Chapter 3: Powers And Pawns The Terran Empire, Other Branches of Government, World of the Empire, Other Powers. (49-88) Chapter 4: Galactic Society Travel and Communications, Religion and Philosophy, The Underworld. (89-104) Chapter 5: Character Creation Package Deals, Game Elements. (105-132) Chapter 6: Equipment and Technology General Tech Issues, Weapons, Defenses, Computers, Misc Equipment, Price List. (133-155) Chapter 7: Starships Imperial Starship Tech, Terran Empire Starships, Ackalian Starships, Se'ecra Starships, Thorgon Starships, Velarian Starships. (156-190) Chapter 8: Terran Empire Campaigns Campaign Guidelines, GM's Vault. (191-204) Everyone of those sections listed above has many subsections. TE is just an incredible book, IMO. I read the playtest manuscript and was still blown away by the book! If you want to get a basic idea of what the aliens are like in the book, check out this link from Digital Hero. You do not get the nice art pics in the link, but you get the basics of the type of information. http://www.herogames.com/digitalHero/Samples/dh08_terran_aliens.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuSoardGraphite Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hey.... I finaly saw a copy of Terran Empire at the store the other day so I perused through it to see if it could be of use to me. (I didn't have the cash to buy it unfortunately as I was purchasing TUV at the time) I was looking through it when I saw something that disturbed me greatly. Elder Wyrms But...but...what the!?! Those are my badguys for my Star Hero campaign damnit! I stole those guys from ICE's Darkspace fair and square! [shakes fist at sky] ....okay. I'm calm now. I'm over it. Guess that goes to show great minds think alike. So to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hey, those Elder Worms have a long, long Champions association. Nothing to do with ICE; I've never even read that product. I'm just takin' advantage of the Hero Universe concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Elder Wyrms Specifically, Elder Wyrms (or Elder Worms) are associated with The Slug, whom I see illustrated on page 116 of the Champions genre book, and mentioned on pages 17 and 24 of Champions Universe (first appearing in 1979).

tomd1969 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 And weren't they also associated with the Seven Horsemen? In the back of that adventure, wasn't there a UFO located somewhere in the Arctic (IIRC) that held a contigent of Elder Worms? Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly. I'll have to admit: my memory is incredibly fuzzy on the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering how long ICE and HERO were in bed together, its not surprising that there has been some sharing (stealing?) of ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if ICE borrowed the concept of the Elder Worms for their Darkspace book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
