Gadodel Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Is there a place where this has been done via the HERO rules? My Search-Fu isn't helping find anything... Oh, examples: Julius Caesar, George Washington etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirViss Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: People from History? The You Gotta Have Character articles in Digital Hero are in this vein. Myamoto Musashi, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Hatshepsut, John Gotti, Calamity Jane, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pytheas and Flavius Belisarius are amonst the better known people that the column has covered. The only one available as a sample is famous blues singer Robert Johnson. As for what can be found online, my search-fu probably isn't much better than yours.

SKJAM! Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Re: People from History? The GURPS Time Travel-related books (Who's Who, IIRC) have a number of historical person writeups, which can be relatively easily adapted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadodel Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: People from History? Ironic, I forgot about this thread. Surely, someone has some write-ups of various well-remembered characters from history?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: People from History? I am working on a writeup for Nikola Tesla, has anybody else tried this one? I am not incredibly familiar with his work, so I am pulling what I can from the book Tesla-- A Man out of Time... by Margaret Cheney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
