Smokeless Joe Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'm looking for Hero System information on blimps, dirigibles, balloons and other lighter-than-air vehicles. Do any of the current books give any examples or suggestions? Any other Hero resources I should check out? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Blimp/dirigible resources? TUV 75 has a basic airship writeup and related information. The forthcoming Masterminds And Madmen features a villain, the Skymaster, who has a super-dirigible (the Skyfortress) as his headquarters. In addition to a full character sheet for the Skyfortress, the book features six pages of maps by the boards' very own Publius showing the insides of the Skyfortress in extreme detail -- the Lightning Cannon, the living quarters, the through deck for launching and landing the Skymaster's Airmada of planes, mess halls, storerooms, labs, observation decks, you name it!

Smokeless Joe Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Blimp/dirigible resources? Thanks for the suggestions! Does the Hero System Vehicle Sourcebook have anything on blimps, or just TUV? -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Blimp/dirigible resources? Does the Hero System Vehicle Sourcebook have anything on blimps, or just TUV? Just TUV. The fan consensus about not reprinting the vehicles from TUV in the HSVS was pretty strong, so the contents of the two books are completely distinct. Right now I am, however, planning to do more dirigibles in the forthcoming Pulp Resource Guide. In addition to some real-life ones, like the R100 and such, I'll have plenty of fictional ones like mini-dirigibles, mega-dirigibles, catamaran dirigibles, steel-hulled dirigibles, and anything else I can think of.
