Susano Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I did the conversion of the Metacreator/Hero Creator files to 5e Hero Designer. and to HTML JIC you don't have Hero Designer. Vehicles and Bases could only be converted to HTML. It was a LOT of files. What? 200? 300? I know it was something like 125 folders worth of stuff.

Tasha Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 What? 200? 300? I know it was something like 125 folders worth of stuff. Honestly it's all a fog of opening folders, choosing files, running first one, then another filter on them. Rinse/Repeat. Then excitement when the Power Supply on my computer went "Pop" with a folder full of un-converted stuff. Yuck. Still worth it though Hope everyone enjoys the files Tasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shigeru Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I missed the boat on this, which suck mightily. Strike Force is, bar none, the best RPG supplement I have ever owned. And I still own and reference my yellowing copy, as well as other Allston supplements. Can't wait for the PDF. Great work, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yeah I missed the window but I'll hold out til the product launches. I can't honestly remember what I donated or what the reward was, I don't have a lot of money but it was some at least. I plan on getting a print copy when I can anyway.

Susano Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 We are working on the book right now. We are getting the artwork prepped for the interior, which will be in full color since we hit 40k. Also being developed is the GMing section, with advice from Aaron and others.

Armitage Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Got my PDF today. At first, I thought that my name had been misspelled on the backer list, but it seems that there was another backer whose name is one letter different than mine. Also backing at a completely different level, but I didn't remember what level I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armitage Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I hate to be the guy who nitpicks, but... Page 34, Number of Supers. (Details redacted to maintain spoilers.) "Conservative estimates suggest that, in recent years, one person in a million on Strike Force Earth has innate powers that can be considered paranormal or even superhuman. With a world population between X and Y billion ...(REDACTED)..., this yields a figure of X to Y million paranormals." One billion divided by one million is one thousand. Either one person in a thousand has powers or the paranormals only number in the thousands. Page 35 then discusses one paranormal in a thousand being powerful enough to be a hero or a villain, with those then numbering in the thousands, suggesting that the earlier millions is correct.

Those are Aaron's exact words... so as you can tell none of us are strong on math....

Armitage Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 RKA 15d6, Reduced Endurance (½ END; +¼) Overlord sure couldn't do that in the original. That's one heck of an upgrade. It's not even an armor system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it odd that there was no mention in his description of what's essentially a single-target tactical nuclear warhead. EDIT: I just looked in the Strike Force Archives that I got with the Kickstarter, and I'm seeing a 5d6 RKA that's part of his Multipower, on the 1995 version of Overlord.

Armitage Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 When I open the file, I get a message saying that the RKA was in the Multipower, but was moved out because it was too big. The same thing happens for every version of Overlord. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
