shadowcat1313 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Re: Religion in Traveller this question popped up on the Traveller Mailing List, and we got an answer from Loren Wiseman >I'm going to guess that the reason religion is scarcely mentioned in the >canon is because either a) the chief designers weren't interested in it, >or it had too much potential for controversy, It's door number two. There is too much potential for argument/flamewars/bad manners over religion and Traveller, so it is left up to the individual group to decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works ok, I posted revised versions of all the basic ships for comment some notes on the methods to my madness 1. I dont include seperate floorplates on the ships, in traveller there part of life support, so I just include them with the various effects of change environment 2. I went with not including fuel tankage as a power, but I did include a fuel processor, because not all ships have them. I did stat out fuel tankage if it would be needed, but I dont see a need, unless we want to include drop tanks like on the Gazelle, or fuel bladders 3. I havent included computers, thats probably the last thing we need to add, do we just want to go with the standard starship computers from TE? 4. Powerplants... do we need to cut back on the END on these? 5. Armor, while rummaging through the TE book, I see superconducting layer for an armor option for personal armor, GT and TNE have it as an option for Starship Armor at TL-12, but its only a 50% reduction, should we add this?

It really affects refueling frequency. 3. I'd say we go with TE computers, but add notes on the Traveller-specific programs that get run. 4. They probably need to be more in line with the ones from TE, but I haven't done any END-counting yet. (Still converting package deals from TNE). 5. Sure.

shadowcat1313 Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works do I need to do revised ship sheets? or can you just plug things in on your end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I can plug things in, no prob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Just a note... things are coming along nicely, we're up to 176 pages and this thing will easily be 200 pages by the time it's ready. Some of the slowness is looking up Cr costs and weights of individual items across a number of books, but that's how it goes. I've sent Shadowcat and Tancred the current draft to peruse in case I goofed on anything so far. I'll be out of town on business this week, so unfortunately I won't be able to do any work on the project this week. I figure in the next 30 days we should be good to go.

shadowcat1313 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I've been taking a sanity break from things, just debating whats left to work and what to crank out next... my question is, can we include a basic traveller scenario, or just leave it as a sourcebook, I think I will ask Marc about the use of a tournament module from years gone by I found I have a copy of that never saw publication that I know of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I think some (new) characters created as TravellerHERO characters, plus an adventure would be a nice extra. That's something I always liked about the old Espionage and Danger International books and IIRC the first Star HERO book - adventures and maps as well as source material.

shadowcat1313 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I was going to ask Marc if we could use either Shadows or Plague of Perruques, somewhere I have memory alpha also... why dont you e-mail Marc and see what he will allow us to use if we can use something already done.

Eodin Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Done. Oh by the way, I was perusing the Travellerrpg website after you mentioned it, and found two comments of interest. One was that HERO is too open-ended, and another was that the weapons on one of the posted ships on the Star Hero fandom Traveller page was confusing - something about 7 extra weapons/bays/turrets/whatever. Hopefully our stuff will get a fair viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tancred Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works I got the email just fine last night. Just because it takes half an hour to download on dial-up, no big deal. I'll start reviewing tonight; didn't have time to look at it last night. And yes, the cover is absolutely awesome.

CDad Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works On a scale of 1-10, this is a 10! I can only begin to imagine the hours (and hours) put into this project. I bow to your Star-fu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Re: TravellerHERO PDF in the works Shadowcat, I'll try again tonight at the other email address. You and Tancred can take your time reviewing it this week - my flight leaves tomorrow and I won't be back until the weekend, so you won't be holding me up on anything. Yeah, I like how the cover turned out... I wanted something reminiscent of the LBBs that are so Traveller, and something that was HERO green and black, and voila.
