Vondy Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Okay - Susano has a Vampire to Hero conversion that's hosted at Surbrook's Stuff. Has anyone playtested it? If so, how did it work out? Has anyone built characters with it? If so, care to post them? The reason I ask is this: I've been running a vampire PBEM that's based loosely on the World of Darkness (I say loosely because its a work of canonical heresy that ignores the meta-plot and pulls elements and characters from all over the place). Its not my preferred game, but the players are having a good time, and its been a good writing exercise. Right now its virtually systemless (I've been using the DP9 Core System), but I've been thinking about using hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I wrote up a package deal for vampires using 4th edition rules, but it was based more on Forever Knight. I posted it on the boards earlier in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Harrison Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Re: vampire hero I'm the guy who wrote the conversion on Surbrook's site. Originally posted by D-Man Okay - Susano has a Vampire to Hero conversion that's hosted at Surbrook's Stuff. Has anyone playtested it? If so, how did it work out?

Has anyone built characters with it? If so, care to post them? I've built lots of characters.

Vondy Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Thanks! I'll take a look at them over the weekend to get a feel for what you did. PBEM is really story and prose centric (at least with my group) so the system is almost invisible, but it has to have some consistent method of conflict / action resolution, and that being the case MAKE MINE HERO!

Agent333 Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Well, I have run a successful WW to HERO games with my friends for over 2 years. You can find the rules I use below. http://members.tripod.com/~HRClark333/Vrules.html The difference between Robert's rules and my own is that I take alot of liberties with the rules, so I really don't suggest any cross genre stories (If you're looking to add V:tM style vamps to an existing game, use Robert's rules). My rules were used with character creation, and continuing growth in an easy curve, in mind. Therefore: I tried to keep each level of a Discipline under or around 20 points. As for the expense of the characters, I just increased the base points whenever a revision made them cost more. The idea was for players to make the equivalent of a 50 point base/ 50 point disadvantage character with all the vampire abilities on top of it. This has worked really well for making new characters and new players have had a blast making vampires for our game. The difference I've found between White Wolf Vampire and HERO Vampire is simple: Combat. I like the White Wolf game and I like the system for everything else except combat. This was the reason I did the conversion in the first place. With HERO the pace was faster, the actions players were willing to take were more daring and slower characters didn't get ground under the heel of a faster character quite so badly. I don't know if this will be your experience, but it certainly was mine and it kept my players and I coming back for more for a long time. The rules are for 4th edition unfortunately, but I work on a 5th ed conversion from time to time. So, you have my apologies, but hopefully I'll do the 5th ed rules as soon as our latest story-line (which is on hold) concludes. The bad news about that is: the new rules will be based on my group's style of play and not strictly according to WW progression. So, I guess the 5th edition rules can't really be called a conversion. More like an interpretation. Ah well, it was fun, but some things take on a life of their own. D-Man, I hope Robert and I have given you plenty to chew on and I hope whatever game you run will be as big a blast as I've had with my friends. Any questions or comments are, as always, welcome.

Vondy Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Okay: here's the first one. An NPC (Toreador). I may put a short background up for her tommorow, I did change one thing: I used a charges reserve (naked advantage to simulate the blood pool and put the -0 lim "uses charges reserve" on the MP). I did this for characters who may have some form of blood magic (rituals), which I decided to build as stand alone powers. I defined the drink blood as body to charges, which will be on a 1 to 1 basis. I didn't bother to put in XP to even out her points.

Bloodstone Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 why is the embrace designed as a summon and not as a transform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Harrison Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Originally posted by Bloodstone why is the embrace designed as a summon and not as a transform? Transforms fade away, or have a defined mechanism for being undone - as such, they aren't very good for modeling the Embrace. In contrast, a summon does not need to built with some way of undoing the summon - its effects can last FOREVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you save a lot of points by putting as much as you did in a multipower? The "charges reserve" on the multipower is an interesting idea - it seems like it might be easier to keep track of a relatively small number of charges than a larger number of END points from an END Reserve.

The "charges reserve" on the multipower is an interesting idea - it seems like it might be easier to keep track of a relatively small number of charges than a larger number of END points from an END Reserve. The cost is the same (in terms of the multipower). My primary motivation was to minimize the book keeping involved. I built it as a naked advantage because I wanted to have the option of building rituals as stand-alone powers and put (uses charges -0) on them. If the character, like this one, doesn't have such rituals (or stand alone powers) then the charges could just as easily be attached directly to the multipower.

Vondy Posted November 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Here is Katherine, a nosferatu Ancillae from the antebellum south. She's adapted incredibly well to technology. Her mentor is Phantomas (in Paris), who was the phantom of the opera and maintains files on almost every known kindred in the world (and geneology charts, etc). She has two other contacts on note: Brogo (the nosferatu prince of the baltic states (named for the pass that leads to castle dracula)), and Desmonda, her sire, who resides in New Orleans. I was expecting Katherine to be a minor background character, but one of the players really latched onto her so she's become a headliner, as it were. She's described as not being as hideous as most nosferatu (he skin is pale, looks like scar tissue, and is pulled tight.

AlHazred Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Hey, D-Man, you used Hero Designer to make these, right? Any chance of posting the files? I'm considering slightly modifying the Tremere for my Pulp Heroes game; I'd like to put in a supernatural villain, and I figure on making him a Nazi occult researcher who's made himself a vampire. He's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vondy Posted November 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Here is the first of the PCs. Patrick Dodd, Toreador Patrick graduated from Juliard in the 30's and began a career as a pinup artist. He found growing recognition as the 40's opened, but his career went on haiatus with the advent of the second world war. An idealist, and a patriot, he joined the marine corps and ended up becoming one of the flying leathernecks of black sheep squadron. After the war he returned to the states and settled in SF, where he resumed his career. In 1949 he painted the pinup "naomi," which not only sealed his place as a world class artist, but also his fate. The model for that pinup was a Toreador elder named Naomi, who so liked the final result of his work, that she gave him the dark gift. The pair resettled in Seattle, where he opened a studio and began churning out an incredible stream of work. The city underwent a long term seige from 1954-1972. Early in this siege, referred to as "the sabbat war" by most of the survivors, the Prince and Patrick's sire were killed. The city changed hands several times, with the Camarilla defenders being led by the "Council of Seasons." Patrick was a member of a coterie called "Cerberus," which included himself, katherine (above), and the Tremere Heinrich Von Steiner. Bianca, also above, is his former lover.

Vondy Posted November 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Here is Heinrich Von Steiner, another PC, and the self perceived leader of Cerberus. He is a Tremere, and recently discovered he was embraced personally by Meerlinda (and thus lower in generation than he expected). Since the clan's Justicar recently dissapeared he has temporarily installed in the position by his sire a an emergency measure (basically, they needed a Justicar who wasn't clan bound NOW (because there is something dark going on with Tremere himself)) - indeed Heinrich suspects Tremere may have done away with his precessor (who was like a brother to him) and kept it from the clan... The write up doesn't include the rituals he knows (which will be built outside the MP).

Vondy Posted November 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 And here is the last of the PCs: Sasha AKA Marcel. I decided Sasha spent a decade or so as an archon for the Toreador Justicar Aneke (who is aware of the facts below). She assisted him in coming to Seattle to act as her eyes and ears on the ground because some very big nasties have come to stay there. He starts play with several secrets, but no infrastructure in place, like the other characters. He also has mental problems: he was used as an infiltrator by a Tzimisce Warlord (now dead) who reshaped his mind and body for each role he was to play. He doesn't actually remember who he was, and has memories from several identities. He most strongly identifies with his role as a Toreador, but also has an affinity for the Brujah. He committed amaranth on a female nosferatu who had spent centuries looking over her mortal kin and has taken on an odd trait: he too looks after them now. He came to seattle because his "mortal ward" is studying at the UW.
