Dust Raven Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I'm still reading through Star Hero, but I was wondering... Who uses the universe (the "The Universe, Part 1,2 & 3) creation rules and how useful are they? Some of the stuff in there seems fairly complex (and I suppose it should be), so I'm wondering how other GMs handle creating their universe.

Ben Seeman Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Re: Look, Bob! Another Star! If you liked the rules from Star Hero, make sure you check out the sector generation software in the Free Stuff section that uses these rules. http://www.herogames.com/FreeStuff/Other%20Software/index.htm Complex indeed.

Aroooo Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Re: Look, Bob! Another Star! Just FYI I'm working on a Mac version of the sector gen software. Its not a port of the PC software, its a seperate build. I'm about half way through. Will let you know when its ready to test.

tkdguy Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: Look, Bob! Another Star! I like the Star Hero system way of generating star systems. I even use it in fantasy worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: Look, Bob! Another Star! Star Hero has the best and most scientifically accurate Universe creation rules I've ever seen, and I've seen a few! But mostly I just use them as guidelines; I like my sci-fi worlds a bit more handcrafted than random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: Look, Bob! Another Star! For some odd reason, don't ask me why, I read the title of this thread...and in my head it sounded just like Mary Tyler Moore doing her Laura Petri voice. Shrug.

Rapier Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: Look, Bob! Another Star! Holy guaca!! I don't have Star Hero yet...I'm an earthbound kind of guy. But that Sector Generator ROCKS! We have a side campaign of Silent Death and I spent literally months developing star systems...and did it all by hand, and with nowhere near that quality and evenness. Not only is this utility/proggy thing AWESOME, I'm all but drooling over the sector generation rules in Star Hero (if this is an example). Darn it, just when I had convinced myself I didn't need to buy this book yet. DAMN YOU ALL! *grumble grumble couldn't keep it to themselves could they? NOOOOOOO grumble* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
