Seenar Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I have created an adaptation of Prime Directive (mostly based on the first edition rules) for Hero. Here is a link to my material. I plan on running this as an online game at some point in the future. Let me know what you think. Prime Directive Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I think it looks pretty cool! Our group once tried Prime Directive but we just hated the RPG system it used. I thought about adapting it to Hero but never seemed to have the time. I plan to liberally (just a figure of speech;) ) "borrow" from the material I am seeing here. Have you done any adaptations of the weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tables for the phasers: Phaser Chart Phaser Multipower Costs if you want the points. Please use whatever you would like. I hated the First Ed system too, and now second ed is GURPS. Four Stats per character? Yuck. If you have any suggestions, or find stuff that does not work let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Thanks for the phaser charts. Its been years since I looked at Prime Directive, in fact I think that I sold all of the original stuff. I'm sure you are more up on this stuff than I am but I'll look it over. I may not have a chance to run a game anytime soon but I never know when my current group may decide to switch gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 How much of the GURPS Prime Directive material did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seenar Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Originally posted by Peregrine How much of the GURPS Prime Directive material did you use? Practically none. I don't like GURPS, and I don't understand the system well enough to make good conversions of things. Besides, they made Vulcans way to expensive.

Peregrine Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 While I'm beginning to come to a similar conclusion about GURPS, I'd recommend the GURPS Prime Directive line for the background material on the Star Fleet Battles version of the Trek universe. Lots of interesting bits, even if you don't use that version whole cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcans would be fairly expensive, at least if you assume that they all have the same psionic/martial skills as Spock and Tuvok. (T'Pol doesn't, but who really thinks Enterprise should be treated as canon?) As for the phaser charts: Is the overload setting xd6 Explosion in Killing or Normal damage?

Seenar Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Normal damage. I figured it was less focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Originally posted by Seenar Normal damage. I figured it was less focused. After all, Kirk tossed an overloaded one in a disposal chute, and it didn't even blow out the wall. That's definately not a killing attack.
