Re: Selling All of My HERO 6E Books, 50% Off Cover! Sold! Thank you, HERO community, for your help in finding these books a good home!

Re: Selling All of My HERO 6E Books, 50% Off Cover! Looks like Media Mail via USPS will send all ~40lbs. of books for around $18.50 or so. I randomly picked Madison, WI as a destination from my home in San Francisco, and that's the price I was shown as an estimate when I went to the USPS and showed them the books.

Re: Selling All of My HERO 6E Books, 50% Off Cover! Yup!

Re: Selling All of My HERO 6E Books, 50% Off Cover! Bigby-- *haha* I got the same response from the GURPS forum, but I'm trying to work a deal there, too. (Selling all my GURPS 4E books, too!) :-) Media mail is slow but cheap. Let me check with the local USPS tomorrow if you're interested. I'll see what the cheapest route is!

Re: Selling All of My HERO 6E Books, 50% Off Cover! *hahahah* Okay, that got a real-live chuckle out of me. My wife's looking at me funny. *haha*

Re: Selling All of My HERO 6E Books, 50% Off Cover! Because I have them and want to sell them, of course!

SOLD. Thank you! **POSTAGE UPDATE: Looks like Media Mail via USPS will send all ~40lbs. of books for around $18.50 or so. I randomly picked Madison, WI as a destination from my home in San Francisco, and that's the price I was shown as an estimate when I went to the USPS and showed them the books. (I saw that a similar "selling my stuff" thread was okayed in the Champions section, so I'm posting here.) I'm selling my entire HERO 6E collection of RPG rulebooks for 50% off cover price. Except as noted, they are undamaged and appear essentially as they did when shipped to me. **Please note that they are being sold as a LOT and not as individual books. You get 'em all or none.** ;-) Here's what I've got: Volume 1: Character Creation -- SPINE BROKEN and repaired with the magic of Elmer's glue and duct tape. Minor highlighting and margin notes in the first ~70 pages. Volume 2: Combat & Adventuring -- Minor highlighting in the first 7 pages. Advanced Player's Guide (softcover) Champions Powers Beastiary (softcover) Ultimate Base (softcover) Equipment Guide (softcover) Basic Rulebook (softcover) Martial Arts (softcover) Champions Universe Star Hero Fantasy Hero Arcane Adversaries (softcover) I'll ship wherever you are, but they weigh a total of ~35lbs. if you trust the average bathroom scale, so be warned! If you happen to be in the SF Bay Area, pickup from the Outer Sunset is probably best. Cash if we meet, or PayPal for shipping (cost + shipping, I won't charge a cheesy "handling" fee).

Re: Strongbow's Art Thread! New practice--I'm learning how to digitally paint after working only in linework...ever. This is my first fully-executed digital painting. Many more to come! One with logo, one without... [ATTACH=CONFIG]42969[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]42970[/ATTACH]

Re: Strongbow's Art Thread! In order to practice painting 3D models in Photoshop, I designed an ElectroMag Sport Bike today in Google SketchUp Pro 8. I love creating tech that looks like it might actually work, even if I have to fudge the science to get there. If you're interested in this kind of concept work, I've included a brief description for each view of the bike with my thoughts on how my imaginary bike would operate.I cobbled together the 3D elements of 5 sport bikes, a hover car and a turbine engine for this design. Next, the model will be painted in 2D in various color schemes, etc. for digital painting practice.I imagined a bike powered by electromagnetism, with only an electric "push" to get the opposing magnets inside the turbine-like engine to rotate, causing a sort of "perpetual motion" reaction that powers the bike.From this view, you can see the multiple storage / balancing motors that ensure even, safe power from the magnetic turbine. Without these, the mass-to-power ratio would be very dangerous! Please do not disable any of the balancing relays--manufacturer is not liable for death or injury resulting from excessive speed!Note that the single-fork design never actually touches the wheels. This is due to the magnetic bond that keeps the wheels at a specified distance in a frictionless magnetic relationship to the forks, which emit a constantly fluctuating "roll" of magnetism that propels the opposing magnets in the wheels. This also eliminates the need for a power train in the traditional sense--no chain, etc. needed. Everything is electronically controlled.Note the front-end of the magnetic coil turbine just behind the front wheel. In a retail market version, a screen would likely need to be erected to keep water and soil out of the inner relays.As the turbine itself makes very little noise, the manufacturer offers six different operating sounds to choose from. You can also upload your own personal "engine" sounds via any personal holographic music player.Though the "single fork" design may appear unbalanced, the natural pull of the magnetic field the bike emits provides the balance for the rider. An operator would not feel any difference in balance between this bike and a traditional two-fork design so long as the engine is operating. Care should be taken when pushing the bike while the engine is not on--remain in control of the bike at all times!

Re: Skyrealms of Jorune Conversion to HERO 6E. Maybe because I use Chrome and Gmail as my primaries, but it downloaded and saved with no fuss for me. Still--good for others just in case the download doesn't work so well!

Re: Skyrealms of Jorune Conversion to HERO 6E. Many thanks! Seeing what's been done before, whether I use the idea or not, is like finding a mental gold mine--thank you, LL!
