Buttstroke, indeed. That was pretty funny, though. I have a question regarding character power levels, particularly with a Soap Operah bent. Does anyone have a suggestion on how powerful I should allow the characters in this campaign? I was thinking Standard Hero to give the Ghost her powers, but I'm not sure how the others (a marine, a firebat, and a goliath pilot) will work out with this many points. Just to be sure, as well- Hero-level characters don't have to pay for their equipment via points, correct? Does this include vehicles? I'm creating the Sara Star System, with the outpost colonies of the Colonial Empire, now. I'm also writing up vehicles (Goliath mech, Wraith-class fighter, Siege Tank, and a Battlecruiser which I'm having trouble judging how many pnts it should have) and various weapons (Gauss Rifle and Pistol, C-10 Cannister Rifle, Firebat Flame-thrower) for the campaign. Oi, and the Zerg atm, too, though I only have to worry about zerglings and hydralisks right now. I'll keep posting info if anyone's interested; it won't be too often in its coming because of summer school, but I'll update it as I get thru it. And keep up the kind words and suggestions, they help a lot. Charles

Hells yeah Terran Siege Tank I don't know if you're around the San Diego area, but I actually ran into a copy of the Alternity version of SC at a place called Game Towne. Otherwise I'd have no idea where it would be in your neck of the woods. As far as the critters website goes, thanks for the information. I'll be pouring over the web for source material and I'll keep an eye out for this one and, if found, will post the link here. Charles

Alrighty ya smart mamy, It is sat. So check yer email already and give me a reply Charlie who doesn't even know if smart mamy is an expression.

I like it. Don't know what it all *means* but I like it anyway. See ya Sat.

Agent333~ Thank you so much- that was exactly the thing I was looking for and needed. Being so new to the game I honestly didn't know where to start, but this basic groundwork will help me tremendously. And trust me, I *will* be coming back and asking more Q's. Again, thanks for the info and I'll put it to good use. Charles

Alas, if I only had a playstation! I wish that Blizzard hadn't chosen to make that a platform-only game, but I'm sure they had their reasons. For now I'm saving $$ to pick up Ultimate Vehicle and Fantasy Hero (when it gets here). Oh, BTW so I don't have to make a new post- would you recommend purchasing Ninja Hero or Ult. Martial Arts first? I don't have either and looked at both and am a little confused as to their roles in the HERO world. Just a wonder. Charles

Guys~ First, thanks for the welcome. I feel all warm and fuzzy Seriously, tho, very friendly board. As far as Starship Troopers goes, that would be awesome. If anyone has that, please let me know via post so I can use it! As far as using the Starcraft universe as a starting point for a campaign, I purchased the Alternity version of SC and am using that as a base of operations... of course I can't *find* the stupid boxed set now so I'm having to wing it. Again, thanks for the welcome and I'll be around! Charles

Guys~ Okay, first post on any HERO forum, so bear with me For starters, I'll let you know my background with HERO. I've owned it for three days. A very big wow to Steve Long and the rest of the crew for everything they've done- I've been reading and can see its potential. This is where my questions come in... I also purchased Star HERO with the original book because my gaming group has always been interested in playing in the StarCraft universe (FYI- Starcraft is a PC game produced by Blizzard and is still pretty fun; based in space with 3 major races[human, an insect-like race, and an advanced alien race]). Has anyone attempted to put StarCraft in HERO terms? I'm going to put a lot of work into trying to make it work and was hoping I could look at other's ideas on how this would convert into HERO. Thats about it. An inexperienced HERO GM with big ideas for a campaign of his own. Wish me luck (and a lot of time to read). Charles
