this almost 200 page **FREE** pdf was put out today... the plans are in Traveller squares, but this can be worked around

oops... forgot to post the tour schedule information... https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/flight-experiences/fly-the-ford-eaa-ford-tri-motor-airplane-tour

The EAA has 2 Ford Tri-Motors that are touring the country this summer... they are the -5AT series versions, one is stopping here locally this weekend, and I am going to get lots of pictures hopefully... cant justify 75.00 for a 35 minute ride sadly... but the Tri-Motor was the first aircraft designed from the start to carry passengers. this one can carry 11 and 3 crew, at the incredibly fast speed of 80 mph. they are also really loud!

thats the cover to book 1

depends on the arms race... I might have set a record for the largest damage causing raygun

wow.... Battlefield Press is going to be printing new versions of the old Terran Trade Authority books, with the original art, later this year or early 2019.. I remember reading these when I was a lot younger... they are really hard to find at a reasonable price these days. some great source and inspirational material in them, sadly I only have Space Wars, Worlds, and Weapons on my shelf still

if theres anything I can do to help on this project let me know

 heres one source of ideas http://hierax.com/hero/shadow/

Heres Killer Shrikes slightly awesome High Fantasy Hero page http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/FantasyHERO.aspx

but it never really covered Shadow World, D&D, Warhammer. Lone Wolf.. along with a few bits and pieces from the Arduin Grimoire too

OK would you say that gurps spaceships uses a similar system to gurps traveller? But allowing a lot more technologies? I could live with that....

yes, GURPS Spaceships allows for a lot more technologies, although Mongoose Traveller does allow some other weapons technologies not used in earlier editions, and Traveller Hero was published before Mongoose Traveller

if you want a more structured starship construction system for Hero, Traveller Hero is the way to go, the original Champions 2 vehicle rules had rules for figuring out how much space something took up, but that got tossed out the nearest airlock in later editions... which I have never agreed with, and was flat out told no when I suggested adding it back in. as far as GURPS Spaceships, GURPS Traveller went to a modular construction system for it and GURPS WW2 used the same system for building other vehicles

one of my favorite books to draw inspiration from has always been Barlowe's Guide to Extra-Terrestrials

Yes I have the FFE cd

I'd like to have the correct pdf

just send me an e-mail at shadowcat48li@yahoo.com

turnaround time is minimal

if anybody buys the Traveller Hero CD from FFE, theres an error with one of the ship files, just contact me and I can send the corrected file, its a deck plan error with GAS-7

things change and tech evolves... Traveller celebrated its 40th anniversary in publication on saturday

Traveller hasnt evolved as well as it could have... but what really has

the ideas of trans-human traveller definately intrigues me... and adapting to Star Hero/Traveller Hero should certainly be doable

what can I do to help?

Traveller Hero is still kinda my baby, along with Eodin

are you looking for more books on world building? rule suggestions? software suggestions?

for world building/generation rules from a gaming standpoint... few things come close to Traveller, from the basic Classic Traveller... to the really complex World Builders Handbook for Megatraveller

theres a free program called Heaven and Earth wherre you can select the amount of complexity you want even

I keep losing track of whos buying the CD. theres a a problem with one of hte files in that the its got one wrong deck plan in it... Marc and I found this AFTER the CD went to print, so rather then reprint them, we just did a corrected file for the one in error, so people who order the CD just need to send me an e-mail and I will send them a copy of the corrected file that way.. GAS #7 is the file in error. just e-mail me at shadowcat48li@yahoo.com

I just ordered it. I contacted Marc and mentioned I didn't have a CD rom on my laptop. He offered USB or SIM card. So if no CD is your hold up send him a email and he will work something out for you

 

once you get it ordered e-mail me at shadowcat48li@yahoo.com, there is a file in error, I will e-mail back the corrected file, it was an issue with deckplans getting switched. just one page in one file

interesting take on the 6E version

Yes, this one. http://www.farfuture.net/Contents%20CDROM%20Traveller%20HERO.pdf

 

You emailed me the corrected GAS-7 file.

I lose track of who I send what sometimes.. so I would rather ask to be sure

did you pick up the CD from FFE? that has a lot of my design notes and such that never saw actual publication

C-Note... Interesting "Upgraded" Gazelle

its always nice to see somebody elses take on my ideas

I did the all the ship conversions for Traveller Hero

heres my tinkering stuff, its all assorted templates and prefabs

Battlemechs.zip

I have tinkered a lot over the years with converting battletech to Hero, mostly just to do costing for mechs, in Hero points, and keep mech combat in Battletech

I have posted the results of my tinkering here and on the Hero System Fan group facebook page
