Traxx Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 A while ago there was some discussion about how well Hero works with the Shadow World setting. I'm here to say....just great. Just check out our Blog that tides us over from week to week in between getting together. Comments are welcome. http://hhackers.blogspot.com/2004/09/story-thus-far.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World As I understand it, Western Shores, the setting in the previous edition of Fantasy Hero was part of Shadowworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuk Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World Shadow World was way cool. I just wish it'd had as much FH stuff as it did Rolemaster, but even if it had none, it'd still be pretty usable. Hmmm...maybe that can be the next place for my players to go to...

I haven't read Western Shores material for ages though but I can't remember anything hinting such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World In the introduction to the "sample campaign setting" section of Fantasy Hero, it had something to the effect of "if using shadowworlds, Western Shores is located on the continent of xxxx" . But I can't remember more than that (will have to look at at home). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Western Shores can be incorporated into the Shadow World by placing the continent 3000 miles northwest of the continent of Palia... You got me intrigued so I already had the book in my hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadDomain Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World Ah! You got me intrigued so I already had the book in my hands ... but looking at the map of the eastern hemisphere of Kulthea, it doesn't seem to make sense. 3000 miles nortwest of Palia there is already Kelestia. There is no room there (or in the sea between Palia and Kelestia to put the 3000 miles stretch of the Western Shores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World I believe that Heirax's Site has a section dedicated to Shadow World.

Starwolf Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World Ah the memories...I once ran an epic campaign on Kulthea. I had FH packages for dragon lords, K'taa Viir, and other sundry Shadow World goodies. The only thing we ever struggled with was converting the Shadow World/Rolemaster magic into Hero system. Perhaps with the new FH and the Grimoires I'll start a new version.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cndblank Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World I would like to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World Converting the Shadow World magic system to Hero is something I'd like to do in the future. Next time I run a major Fantasy campaign, it will be using the Shadow World setting... speaking of which, has anyone seen the newest offerings from ICE as far as Shadow World is concerned?

Old Man Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: Haalkitaine Hackers in Shadow World Actually, until you mentioned it I had no idea Shadow World was being reprinted. Intriguing. But I'm behind on my Hero purchases already, so Shadow World will have to wait a bit. Hopefully this incarnation of SW will be more consistent than the original. 66% of the original SW books were excellent, and the other 33% were useless crap. There was no middle ground, it seemed.
