djkester Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 In generating a planet using the Star Hero published rules I have run into a snag. I don't see any rules for generating the age of the planet but the Life determination section needs the age of the planet to decide what life is present. Any ideas on how to generate the age of a planet? I'm leaning towards Age of the Star - (2D6 * 10,000,000) Did I miss something in the rules? Anyone else solve for this problem already? Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The age of a star's planets would be the same as the star's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaplayboy Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The age of a star's planets would be the same as the star's own. Maybe 10-20% younger, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Baker Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The description for Complexity on SH 120 says to use the planet's age from the Star System Data Table on page 103. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowcat1313 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I've never actually tried generating star systems with Hero, I always just fall back on a variant of Traveller, depending on how much detail I want on a particular system, its something I should take a better look at though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
