  1. The closest we ever had to a fixed SPD campaign was what the group called the 4/2 Speed campaign. They would joke about an opponent being Super or fodder depending on what SPD he had.

     

    Supers had a SPD of 4

    Agents, Combat Trained, Law Enforcement, etc had a SPD of 2

    Normals had a SPD of 1 unless they were fleeing then they had a SPD of 2.

     

    As the campaign went on, one player talked me into allowing a SPD of 4+2 for a speedster concept and I allowed it. He moved on every phase and twice on 2 and 4 with his first move coming on his DEX and his second on DEX/2.

     

    A second player tried to talk me into a SPD 4+2 Martial Artist but I did not allow it. He maxed out on DEX and Skill Levels instead

     

    We used a Rule of X (Offense) and Y (Defense) to sort of balance things

  2. STARGUARD INTERNATIONAL, a.k.a. SGI, from Super Agents was the first time I remember the mention of Questonite and it was a plastic. It was invented by Jonny Quest's dad, Benton Quest. Although it was not spelled out in the supplement it was implied.

     

    History of SGI

    "The company was founded in 1976 by Dr. J.A. Quest, son of the world famous scientist who created the remarkably durable Questonite plastic..."

     

    Dr. Quest History

    "Dr. Quest, a flinty eyed blonde man entering his early 30's... Dr. Quest spent most of his teenage years free footing all over the South Pacific..."

     

    Questonite entered the CU and became the exotic element for creating weapons and shields as well as armor for facilities and vehicles during the Iron Crown Enterprises days of stewardship of Champions.

  4. In case anyone is wondering, I am currently working my way through 800 MB of Aaron's files, plucking out the "good stuff" and reading hundreds of pages of campaign history. It is rather awe-inspiring the extent of the Aaron Allston multiverse.

     

    Know what you mean and I only have a notebook with the history thorough the middle of the 80s...

  5. For the people in the know on Chronicles Earth, the Wardens Chronicles campaign homeworld, there are six documented parallel Earths. Each of which is called a Prime Parallel as the rules of physics as well as 'superhero physics' for them seem to closely mirror those of Chronicles Earth.

    Each alternate Earth is called "Prime Parallel: Earth X" or just "Earth X" with X being a number designation.


    Earth 1

    Inhabitants: Humans, Low-Level Machine Intelligences

    Dimension Brief: Technology stands at the forefront on this world. The average technology is roughly 30-50 years more advanced than Chronicles Earth. Multinational companies are potent political entities with only a couple of national states close to their level of influence on world affairs.


    Earth 2

    Inhabitants: Humans, Changed Humans, Changed Animals

    Dimension Brief: This world political scene is dominated by an almost constant state of war between paranormals and the armies of the technologists. National states are either pro-paranormal or pro-technology with a few minor political entities espousing neutrality and watching the battles from the sidelines.


    Earth 3

    Inhabitants: Humans, Several types of Psionic Animals/Creatures

    Dimension Brief: The power of the mind stands at the forefront on this world. There are no large national states, only small political polities arranged in an ever changing series of alliances. The general outlook is one of paranoia and constant small scale skirmishes.


    Earth 4

    Inhabitants: Humans, Several sub-species of humans and animals not present on Chronicles Earth

    Dimension Brief: This world is dominated by an oppressive world spanning empire. The Empire has ruled the world for the last several decades after ruthlessly crushing all opposition to its rule, or so it thought. Over the last decade, a strong rebel movement has risen to oppose the Empire.


    Earth 5

    Inhabitants: Humans, Demon-kin, Ven, Shahee, Other Mystical Creatures and Races

    Dimension Brief: All things magic and mystical stand at the forefront on this world. A world almost shattered by a war between the Sorcerors of Atlantis and the Demon-kin of Mur. The mystical energies released during the final days of the war sunk both Atlantis and Mur in addition to causing a rift in the dimensional fabric of the multiverse. Members of the Enclave traveled from Chronicles Earth and working with the Acadian Academy used magics to seal the rift.


    Earth 6

    Inhabitants: Humans, Koreskites

    Dimension Brief: A union of man and biological nanites, Koreskites, has placed the bio-sciences in great prominence on this world. Practitioners of the Art, those born with the ability to join with the nanites, are greatly respected for their abilities to defend the people from everything from microbes to monstrous entities.

  6. Savage Worlds is the new flavor for a 'generic' game engine and is quite popular right now... whether or not there are Hero System rules products from this line depends on sales... based on the support for Hero System being limited to the campaign book and two Serpent Scales pdfs then not other products, it does not appear that the sales are enough to support the effort to put out Hero System rules versions of the products... buy the products in the line for the source materials and background then build your own Hero System rules
