incrdbil Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Anyone have a few sample, starting Atlantean Age characters they would liek to share that I could use for reference purposes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrandom Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 A noob question, but what are you referring to with Atlantean Age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 A published setting, super-heroic fantasy. Not my cuppa tea, really, but that didn't stop me from buying the book. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Specifically, this thing here: [url=https://www.herogames.com/viewItem.htm?itemID=232633]https://www.herogames.com/viewItem.htm?itemID=232633[/url=https://www.herogames.com/viewItem.htm?itemID=232633] I don't have it yet, but I'll likely get it eventually.

Jrandom Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just bought it and am reading it. How much of the book is based on actually mythos? Is it just the names Atlantis and Lemuria, with the rest being modern day fiction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lemuria is very fresh, as sunken lands go -- it was hypothesized as a means to explain the distribution of various species in Africa and Indonesia, before this newfangled continental drift thingie. It came about in the 1800s. I think it was Madame Blavatsky that made Lemuria the home of an advanced, psionic species of Man. As for Atlantis, the Ten Kings, their descent from Poseidon, their Empire, and so forth -- that's straight from Plato. I don't think there's been any earlier recorded versions of that myth; chances are good that he made the whole thing up whole-cloth, as a political/sociological metaphor. Most of the rest of it - straight up Rule Of Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Also, in Hero Games's official present-day superhero setting, the "Champions Universe," remnants of both Atlantis and Lemuria continue to exist as undersea realms. The Atlantean Age is part of the historical timeline of that universe. The Champions book Hidden Lands outlines their history over the intervening millennia, and what they're like today (although the MMORPG, Champions Online, has added more to Lemuria since HL was published).

Doctor Agenda Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 In operation, it's a setting for Fantasy Hero Champions. Empyreans fit in, which should tell you something. However, there's no reason you can't run it as a 75-point Fantasy Hero setting; just don't get in a fight with Atlantean magic-equipped super soldiers or Lemurian agents with sorcery-tech if you can't also take on dragons. Of course, getting ahold of Atlantean or Lemurian gear could be quite a power-up. I'd be up for a low-fantasy to epic fantasy game like that.

Dr Divago Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I ninja the post to ask a related question: does someone did a 6E conversion for Atlantean Age setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I ninja the post to ask a related question: does someone did a 6E conversion for Atlantean Age setting? I think the term is 'Necro' not 'Ninja' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incrdbil Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I don't believe so, but it doesn't seem too hard. My main idea on that would be redressing the costs of items versus spells. Spell like abilities come far cheaper than items, to the point of taking spell buffs to normal free items is a far better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 A former player of mine wanted to run a time-lost Atlantean lancer as his PC in a modern-day supers game. It proved to be suprisingly easy to adapt him. Lancers are magically augmented to peak-human physical level just in their baseline template. Adding a divine-blood template, and a few of their standard enchanted weapons and equipment, brought him most of the way to starting superhero status.
