Chris Goodwin Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I've just finished a massive update of this document, if anyone is interested. It lives at http://home.comcast.net/~archer7/rw2hero.html Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Seeman Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Archer that is the BOMB! I especially like the part where it says "This should go without saying, but a copy of Robot Warriors is necessary in order to use these rules." Could I bother you to add a link to our Online Store for the PDF? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Goodwin Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Thanks, everyone. Ben, I'd be happy to. Do you just want a link to the store, or is there a link to go straight to the RW PDF? Edit: I put a link to the store in. If there's a different link you want me to use, PM me with it and I'll put it right in. NSG: Someone's got to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Seeman Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Hey Archer... Ifyou could change the link to https://secure.compnetco.com/herogames/browse.jsp?categoryID=4 that would be great... that makes it so it goes to the E-Books category. Thanks!

Chris Goodwin Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Okay, there's even more update goodness in it now, including a table to help build Hero System Powers into robots.

JmOz Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated It might be worth adding something to the description of Robot Warriors PDF to indicate this is available...

steriaca Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated I'm waiting for Steve to apoint Archer to do a Mecha Hero sub-genra book, and prehaps a Vehical Soursebook 2: The Big Popup Book Of Mecha (including updates on all the mecha which appeares in both Robot Wariors and Robot Gladiators).

I'm guessing that either Michael Surbrook or Nu Soard Graphite would be better choices for Mecha Hero, and one of them or Bob Greenwade for the Big Book O' Mecha. Though if he wanted to publish the mecha design rules from RW for fifth edition, and/or a Big Book O' RW Mecha, I'm your man. (Incidentally, even more editing has been going on on the document all day. In fact, if you want to just get the document all at once with all of the day's updates, your best bet is to try at like 3 in the morning when I'm asleep!)

Little Ray Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Just a thought: the electronics (sensors, commo) seem too big. Maybe they should be the same size as weapons as proportional to their point values? Backward compatability just ain't that important.

Chris Goodwin Posted August 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated For the strictly hypothetical "Robot Warriors, Second Edition" backward compatibility is not important at all. But I realized that while forward compatibility is desirable, forward compatibility with a minimum of fuss is more like what I was looking for.

Backward compatability just ain't that important.[/quote'] Oh -- and keeping the same proportion of size to points as is used for weapons ends up meaning that most sensors are in the .008 Mass Units range. Unworkable, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Wow! You did do a bit of updating in there. Looks great. Now if only my copy of Robot Warriors hadn't disintigrated on me (yes, I used it a lot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Major Tom Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated What can one say to someone who's done such a fantastic job at converting an "Old School" genre book like Robot Warriors to "New School" format? Something like this: Thanks, Archer. Major Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Goodwin Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Putting the "romance" in "thread necromancy" since 2004... Thought I'd just attach the file here because I'm having some... issues. It's a zipped HTML file. Download it, unzip it, double-click and it should open in your browser.

shadowcat1313 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated been tinkering with a bit of everything, non dark ages though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Re: Robot Warriors to Hero System Fifth Edition massively updated Ok, I haven't played since 3055. So I'm not enlightened about the Dark Ages. (I just couldn't resist) And even then not so much. When my daughter and me played, I stick with 3025. One of these days though, I might try to write up some omnimechs just using Inner Sphere tech. And see if if the Omnis aren't so overly powerful. Shadowcat you wouldn't per chance have a scan of the old Citytech or Battletech? Its the wespons list which is so small on my compendium make smy eyes squint.
