Eodin Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 For those who have purchased Traveller Hero, now that you've seen it, I'm interested in what else you'd like to see in the line. As indicated in the TH books, we are converting the GAS, Robots, and other properties as well as Grand Fleet and Gadgets/Gear. I'd like to hear want lists/wish lists of what else you would like to see in the Traveller Hero line. What books would make your Traveller Hero games more enjoyable?

Bygoneyrs Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Speaking for myself, and 30+ yr Traveller player/GM I like the New Era of 1248 by Comstar Games. Now my own campaigns over the years have ranged from 1109 till 1125 eras. Now I think that 1248, is well set in a great bit of history and a perect starting up place for the Traveller game. Ok so what would I like to see next, well what about a Startup starting point? Have someone create a single system, and work it up completely. Define a single system with all it's orbits and what is found there. Further develope the main home world in that system that the players can come from. Design a complete culture with it's history, then develope the world and starport along with other details of why this world and system are unique. Maybe have both Humans and Dryone in the system together as the two races, and explian why and how they made it back into the stars after the great collapse and etc. Spin a couple of different subplots as well going on and give clues to some others that are left for GMs to add to and expand on if they wish to. Also maybe give a small star maps and give some basic information on the neighboring systems. Maybe define some plots that might be happening in each of the other systems as well and have the players be on a exploration mission and etc. Penn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bygoneyrs Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Also I would like to see a world that has been cut off from star travel, that has developed a society like Judge Dread!... Hmmm maybe a new Judge Dread Hero based Genre!!!

Eodin Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? maybe we could get an expanded vehicle/starship construction rule set? I had honestly thought about expanding some of that information in the two current books, but I didn't want to essentially re-write the Hero System The Ultimate Vehicle books. But it's definitely worth a look, since Traveller Contragrav Thrusters and other Traveller-specific technologies could be expanded on for size, cost, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bygoneyrs Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Eodin, A APH setting locked in a TH setting would be awesome....a Amber or Red Zone maybe. There are many different plot lines that you could define and run in those settings! Penn After Post-Apocalyptic Hero came out' date=' another thing I'd like to build is one or more world-locked PAH settings in The New Era.

shadowcat1313 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? the first thing that comes to mind from TNE is the world of Promise, where several virus infected mainframes are at war with each and using human pawns to conduct the war.

Jkeown Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? I'd like info on the Nobility... I'm thinking of getting GURPS Traveller Nobles, but I'm keen on not having to convert it. Also... Where are the Racial Prefabs/Templates for Traveller? If they aren't available, and I just do them myself, are they postable? I'd rather not cause trouble for Com Star and Eodin, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? there in TH Book 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? I think that adventures and details about sectors that have not been given before would be the coolest. I do not know if you are confined by the license to any one sector or another, but there are quite a few (Antares comes to mind) that have never really been done. A grand adventure in the Marches or even a short campaign like Psionic Knights from the DGP book would be neat also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkeown Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? there in TH Book 1 I'm sorry. I was in a hurry when I posted that. I meant... where are the prefabs for Hero Designer? I have both PDF's... I just want more Hero Designer support. Even if I have to create it myself and make it available (if I'm allowed). I don't know the details of your agreement, and if posting the .hdt's and .hdp's would cause trouble, I won't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? When you purchase the PDFs of Traveller Hero, all the HD files are bundled with it. So unless you hear different from Steve L or Polaris, please don't post the HD files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? By the way, I wanted to toot our horn a little... I just went out to DriveThruRPG to buy the Serenity PDF. I saw that those who bought the Serenity RPG also bought Traveller Hero. TH Book 1 ranks 34 and TH Book 2 ranks 37 in the top 100 sales list. I have to say, I did a double-take. Out on the ComStar site, Traveller Hero 1 and 2 rank top in the Traveller Hero sales line. Just thinking about it makes my head spin a little WAHOOOOOOOOO!!! Okay, so back to the topic at hand. I'm seeing some good ideas of what people would like to see. Setting (Star System/Subsector) books, adventure campaigns, books of starship deckplans, some PAH settings in the New Era. Anything else?

Bygoneyrs Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? How about a Metamorphosis Alpha PAH setting in Traveller Hero? Penn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Hero Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Yes. *More* books of starship deckplans. One of Hero Systems weaknesses, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Please...no more deckplan books...or equipment books... need development of the undeveloped...in at least a semi-official capacity. and adventures. the mini-campaign or adventure path model seems to work really well.

If so everyone who bought them at DriveThruRPG didn't get them. I'm not going to worry about it, tho, I'll just make some up for my own use, and I will not make them public.

tytalan Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? hay I just was thinking maybee you could do Alien books like they did for megatravller combine an human major race with an alien race. like Solomani/Aslan which I am all ready using more background info and more race Spec. bundles and equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowcat1313 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? ok, I think this ones my fault on the racial prefabs. not sure they were ever done in the first place, all I had was the equipment prefabs. this should be correctable easily enough, just have to have the time to put them together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Shadowcat, Tancred did the racial packages, they're on our development site. All of the HD files should be there, probably just spread out in the file storage area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? Forgive me; I'm sure this is out of place; I hope it's not in bad taste... I've been offline for a rather long time, but I was waiting for Traveller Hero... I checked the HERO store, but can't find it. Can anyone shoot me a PM or some-such thing on where I can purchase it?
