I am up for working on one, or some kind of 5E to 6E update pack if nothing else

Half OCV or 0 OCV. only wben firing on the move... call it 1/4 for half, 1/2 for 0

would also apply to some newer weapons, especialy ATGMs like Sagger or TOW

are you using the Innacurate rule for most WW2 tank guns? not a lot of ww2 tank guns were stabilized for firing on the move

M5 Stuart was the first

I havent publihed anywhere near everything I have done that could be useful... but I am a terrible writer when it comes to rules and manuscrpts, give me a framework to work in/with and I can do wonders

Emperors Choice owns all of Arduin now... and they are selling books again

www.empcho.com

after a discussion with the folks at Emperors Choice, I am dropping this request. they are requesting such stuff not be shared, but are still fine for personal use only,

not in any trouble... this was a general request

there were some Arduin Grimoire to Hero conversions done way back in time[2003?] and I have managed to lose whatever I had of them

were there ever newer things done? or does anybody still have what was done then?

have fun, and I love to see what other people do with my ideas

I have now submitted 2 large collections of Hero Designer files to Jason, these will end up being for sale at some point, one is assorted ground vehicles, the other is assorted air vehicles and spacecraft... a water vehicles collection

will follow shortly. if theres interest in more. I can follow up with more stuff later

are you looking for a specific conversion for a real vehicle?

that I can probably help with if nothing else, I have already done a LOT of assorted real vehicles in 5E terms for the most part

heres always a good starting point for conversion ideas for real vehicles at least

since I rarely read the Hero Boards anymore, it might be easier to contact me with TH on questions by e-mail or discord

you can get them here, but its file by file I think, you can get the whole CD with everything for 35.00 from Marc Miller directly

at this link https://www.farfuture.net/

you can download the ToC from there if you dont want the whole CD. if you dont have a CD drive, just ask Marc to put it all on a flash drive

it was written for 5E as 6E wasnt published yet, theres a conversion doc there on the CD. I can be reached on the Hero-Champions-RPG[Unoffical] Discord page

to answer questions. I was one of the authors of it

something to bear in mind... there was actually a published version of Traveller Hero, that is still available from Hero Games and Far Future Enterprises, the CD version at ffe.net has a whole ton of useful material

https://www.farfuture.net/ theres a table of contents for the CD.

I had a had in the project in the first place, a friend of mine who used to work for a novelty distributor had a source for them

I still have 2

on a sorta related note... Bundle of Holding is offering two collections of the little black books right now

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/LBB1-2020

just to clarify one thing from that quote, the re-issue of Traveller Hero is just the PDFs on CD. but I didnt know that was going to happen even at that point

an interesting idea, are the cars armed? might be time to dust off Autoduel Champions

coming in to this way late, has anybody else tinkered with the Desperado skirmish rules set? or the newer Gunfighters Ball set?

one bit of trivia... the first Train robbery didnt take place out west... it was near Chesterton Indiana, and the first train robbers were John and Simeon Reno

as far as fantasy old west goes, you might look at the stories of Mad Amos Malone by Alan Dean Foster

Knuckleduster has some really nice minatures jf nothing else https://www.knuckleduster.com/shop/

some mechs have a center torso cockpit, and are not quite as vulnerable to head shots[Archer, Orion].. there are also mechs that have 2 seat cockpits[Battlemaster, Cyclops, at least one Madcat Variant, at least one Atlas Variant]

and some mechs have a whole head cockpit that can be ejected[Hatchetman, Axeman]

FASA had a rather large Atlas model built for display at cons, it used a 2-seat F-16 Trainer cockpit model for the cockpit, it was built by Steve Venters iirc. not sure who built the later Madcat model they used after the Atlas was destroyed in transit

someplace in Europe

Commo is limited to Radiio, Laser, Maser, and some mechs have SATCOM capability. and LOS datalinks

ok heres my basic BT chassis templates

55 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 60 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 65 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 70 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 75 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 80 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 85 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 90 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 95 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 100 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 20 Ton Battlmech Template.hdt 25 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 30 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 35 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 40 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 45 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt 50 Ton Battlemech Template.hdt

one IS Assault Mech, 1 Clan Assault Mech

while doing some research, I found the maximum sensor ranges are 2 and 4km, except for satcom stuff

heres a rough example of a Battletech to Hero mech conversion I did

AS-7D Atlas.hdc Daishi Primary.hdc

dont forget Traveller Hero, which makes for a great 5E/6E Star Hero variant, with a whole ton of backround material available

Ships Sensors, taken from Traveller Hero

Radar

IR

UV

Densitomiter

Passive EMS

Active EMS

Neural Activity Sensor

RadScanner

Atmospheric Sensor

you could add sonar too, but I would limit that to more specific uses

been doing some tinkering with some conversion stuff for a possible Twilight 2000 Hero campaign

is this something worth bothering with?
