Re: Turakian Age Maps Some devoted gamer, with talent and CC2 Pro in probably post maps for download. Heck I am sure people will contribute all kinds of things. Although art is notoriously guarded.

Hand on Heronomicon Okay, I will take the bait. Why do you doubt that you will actually use HERO system to run>> no flame, just curious.

Re: Cities Strrets of Silver Lead developer: Harald henning d 20 system, A Twin Crown's Adventurers Guide ISBN: 0-9712145-3-0 Little on the expensive side, and for d 20, but I read throughit and it has a pretty good tapestry for a Venice like city setting. Includes a fold out, detachable map.

the Astral .hdc Turns out the Astral Form is a tiny bit over than what is paid for by the character. Wil have to go back and edit.

2 Cent Here is my system, for quick fightd, not all All armor gives its resistent DEF in non-resistent DEF. Thus 6 pt chain is 6 res +6 non-res DEF WeaponSmiths can increase that number when Armor is created. I track only the Stun total in a phase for any one PC. Then if you take enough STUN past DEF to exceed your CON, you are Stunned. Next I make the PC make a CON roll. or suffer the effects of the first level, ie. -10, of negative Stun total. The Con roll can be influenced by Characteristic skill lvls. Thus Hearty PC's, bought +3 lvls. Con based, and have a CON of 18 thats 16-. Every time they are Stunned that is -1 to the CON roll and every +10 STUN that ecveeds their CON is -1 This way they fight until they drop, and no one has to kepp a running total of STUN just have many times they have been Stunned, much easier.

Ya man, I go back that far. Game Table, now that was a while ago. D & J still going but last I heard they are slimming down there considerable stockpiles. Just off San Carlos, between Bascom and Race at the time I signed on to the board. Still go to the Century theaters right on Winchester, in fact will only see all the LOTR movies there. Quick note: Two Towers was the first film there to sell out all showings on opening day. Gurps is the SJG rip off of Hero. In no way will you get worked for making that observation. The shame belongs entirely with SJG.

Re: What do I need?? bull44, I echo archer's words. I would add that %th edition is tuned more to heroic level adventuring than earlier editions. Plenty of help for the genre, package deals, magic items, characters will be available here on the Hero boards by we few, we happy few.

So I wrote in a custom Uncontolled , limited by time to 5 minutes to mimic that the ody temp comes back slowly The Drain is 1 Hex, accurate to reflect a "causual" or "touch" attack like to hit. Where just a glancing blow on the target anf the effect goes to work. The gradual effect on the CE is for each new owner / user. It takes that much time to increment the power to full effect I like to balance the real points of an item with limitations just like characters. The effects run from the sublte to the gross, from physical to mental. This item is one in a campaign I am preparing for where the players are trying to edit it out magic items / effects fromthe affairs of Men, fearing that they have too great a corupting influence. Any thoughts? love to hear 'em

Right smack dab in the frontal lobes Lord Liaden: ood observayations, but. I could make a great case for Autofire actuallu acting more as disadvantage than advantage. Given the bell curve of 3 d6, visa vie the "to hit" roll. Unless there is a CV delta between user and target this advantage does not work very well. 1. Points spent on Levels for this attack Autofire skills allow access to the greaster use of this advantage over any other advantage. 2. points spent on Autofire skills Increased END or charge spent for shots that probably do not "hit". 3/ The more autofire multiples the user buys the more each of the above become more expensive. I use your post to set forth my theory. And, yes, you point out that in a heroic game, I the GM build the equipment and thus balance into items not paid for by players. But waht headaches are you reffering to? NuSoaed Graphite: That is it exactly. the first slot I included Increased Max range, +1/4 to reflect tighter weapon control. But I will add in the levels and acheive the balance iI wanted. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

I think the answer is Heroic. That said, this will e a Space Opera, Galaxy spanning, War of attrition campaign. The characters do use a suite of Powers as skills that blend everything, sort of magic, from Cyberware to information technoloy gone amuck.

Any one can chip in, NuSoard you out there? I have a problem with Autofire as a concept and thus the mechanic of the Advantage in HERO Why should the same bullet, beam, missle etc. be less powerful (by .5 in this case) just because of a high cycle rate or iteration? I have a Mecha MP and I find the de-powering of the same energy, just differnt advantage to be breaking my suspension of disbelief. I am in search of an arguement as to why it would work that way. If I make Autofire a 0, yes zero, adv, have badly does that mess with play balance? besides everyone having weapon that autofire. In the far future what is the ig deal? Any ideas, let me hear 'em

Few if any know of her telepathic abilities. Because of her constant intake of data and its processing she can appear distracted and inattentive.. Her mind, conciousness, is in a constant state of use. Few if any telepaths could penetrate the seemingly whirling cacaphony of theory and application.Access turns to Sculpting and riding to try and concentrate on the here and now , and as relaxation techniques. Quote:Yeah, I know. It may not seem possible, but trust me years from now they might discover the science it uses.Background: Access started out as a low level telepath trying to gain control over her power. A power that forced her to isolate from the rest of society.Becoming a recuse and introverted Access was accepted by only one group. Nerdy, social outcast intellectuals. Access used her power to stay up with the rest of her group as she read the ideas and interests of the group and then studied in those areas. Soon she realized a that life was worth interacting with others. Access began to chart a path from recluse to the productive member of society. The more she studied with able and even brillant minds, the more others regarded her as exceptional. Then Access began to slowly mix with others and absorb their ideas and shift through all the permutations that they could notsee or discarded as not of interest. Then her first encounter with Hybrid. A super hero of vast intellect who was in battle with an Alien villian known as Incarnetrix. During the battle Access was receiving thoughts andf more. The way in which both minds shifted through strageties and adapted to powers and tactics of the other caused Access to re-align and process vast amopunts of Knowledge into useful and product ideas. Access was present at the defeat of hybrid,and as he was being taken away she read his dread at the thought that, all these people and how helpless they would be at the merciless intellect of his foe. Access then decided to travel the world and absorb and more importantly apply the vast knowledge of humanity for good. Powers/Tactics: Campaign Use: my challenge would have been: A Super Psionic entity that is the fusion of 5 other mentalist mindsNuts again. That second Mental defence should have the limit: Only vrs. Telepathy

Got it Working now.. post soon.

Re: Thoughts... Time does seem to be a choking point.. Figure 1 jour to 1 hour 15 for each combat more in the beginnning less at the end due to player learning curve First fight is a simulation on the carrier. Next 2 fights are probably going to be encounters on the search side of the search and destroy mission. Players may evade encounters or decide that capture and interrogation are needed. Hard to predict. Then base asssualt or end.alt_1 fight. that 1 week of training at the start of the game will start character plots and / or non-mecha based skill use. Some sub-plot based on archetypes and "Things the players are Not meant to know" THat plus how much the players chafe under the thumb of military command structure and the group dynamic, ie. whether they gel or fall apart. Not to mention the horror of : GM must change things on the fly; because not all 8 cPC Slots are filled. Going to make it a 10 hour run, probably best.

Now,...the basics So figure envelopes for each characteer THe outside of which is just the archetypes listed above. Complete character bio, experience, MOS etc. on the inside ONly one to be able to pull some one else's jacket is the Lt. Figure 3 Mecha fights to an 8 hour run, maybe 4 for a 10 hour run MAybe the first hour or two is taken up by descriptions and role playing. maybe some skill use early on HAnd out the Mecha sheets and spend some time getting everyone up to speed on mechanics and systems. scenario unfolds, players refine tactics and organize. Some description and atmosphere type scene setting the climax fight falling action: causalties reported, mission debreif Not much of a music guy myself but it does work in gasmes I have played in.
