  1. WWYCD: The Nightmare on Hero Street

    Re: WWYCD: The Nightmare on Hero Street

     

    Old CorPse would be more than happy if this clown could kill him. (Hasn't worked with any one else.) Hell, he might try to find a way to stay asleep much longer than normal...

     

    Eventually this Nightmare guy will get bored, which usually happens when a particular villain gets a bug up his ass about old CorPse-y. And when he gets bored, he's going to let his guard down...

  5. Traveller Hero - the soon to be GONE!

    Re: Traveller Hero - the soon to be GONE!

     

    Hi there,

     

    I just want to stop by to clarify a few things--

     

    1. We do still have quite a long time on this license, and will be publishing Traveller material for quite some time.

     

    2. We currently have at least one other print product in the plans.

     

    3. We will be discussing future plans with the Powers that Be for Traveller when we get closer to the end of the license... customer demand, if it warrants it, can convince the powers that be to do things that may not currently be the plan.

     

    4. We intend to discuss options for continuing to support Star Hero well into the future with the kind folks at DOJ. Even if this support is not 'official' Traveller, players and GMs of Traveller Hero will find the material to be very helpful for their games.

    Cool... thanks for all the updates guys...

    "You got space opera in my holocaust !!"

    Two great genres that play great together !!!!! :thumbup:

    Nicely done.

     

    Yeah... I'd agree.. all the angst of a "man we brought this on ourselves apocalypse" and all the explosions of a show set in space.

  17. Vehicle DCV... I had no idea

    Re: Vehicle DCV... I had no idea

     

    No. FREd = Fifth Rules Edition -- the unrevised 5th Ed.

     

    And I've always played that a DCV cannot be below 0 after Range Modifiers and similar factors.

     

    Aha! Aha x2.

     

    As far as I'm concerned you are the end of the line on Matters Vehicular.

     

    Would you mind giving an example for how Size/Range, etc., would interact for a big vehicle?

    That would be under "Missed And Random Shots' date='" FREd p. 284/5ER p. 423.[/quote']

     

    Aren't FRed and 5ER just two different ways of saying the same thing?

     

    FREd=Fifth Revised Edition.

    5ER=Fifth Edition Revised.

     

    Also, I looked at the scattering rules you mentioned. (Thank you for sending that along.) But technically they'd only be useful if you missed what your were aiming at, as opposed to missing a small part of something bigger you were aiming at. (ie you hit that destroyer floating beyond the carrier.)

     

    However, yes, you could use this in a pinch or if it seemed to make sense.

     

    For my money, the size differential rules that g-a mentions above are probably the most appropriate for the original situation I brought up.

  20. What rule don't people know?

    Re: What rule don't people know?

     

    I don't really see it being a problem with a game if someone who is vastly strong can hold on to someone who isn't. I would think that's a rather appropriate feature' date=' not a bug.[/quote']

     

    I think there's a caveat somewhere in the Grab rules that expresses as much. (ie if you're silly-much stronger than someone else your DCV doesn't necessarily get halved.)

  24. WWI Battleship

    in Pulp Hero

    Posted

    Re: WWI Battleship

     

    I based the 1SPD on the notion that firing a broadside every 12 seconds is a pretty good rate for back then. The x8ncm means that it takes a battleship 96 seconds to go from dead in the water to full speed. Not sure if that's accurate...

     

    About the guns? I based the damage off my old copy of Golden Age Champions. It had a 37mm gun do 3 1/2 d6 and a 75mm gun do 4d6+1. From this I extrapolated that every 20mm = +1DC

     

    Im not exactly a huge fan of warships, but I needed one for a scenario Im working on and I was disappointed to find that neither FRed, GAC, or Pulp Hero had a proper write-up for one. I suppose if you want something done right...

     

    Cool, good to know your thinking on that. I wonder if the The Ultimate Vehicle or the Vehicle Sourcebook have something like.
