First, is the life native to Pluto, or did they come from another cold world planet in another system? Do they have good tech lvl? Do you have any thoughts on it your self? If they are not native, I would have them be an other civilizations failed try at FTL or Hyperspace and they just ended up getting stuck on Pluto many ages ago. They may have even known that earth had life but was never able to communicate with them because of the difference in tech ( their communications always got confused with static background noise to or sensors), or they didn't want to contact us because they see us as war like and didn't want to become slaves, they are war like and were trying real hard to communicate with the home world to get aid to take over Earth, they are a noble race and wanted to let us progress on our natural path with out their intervention, or what not. I think I would have them live in caves/tunnel systems that they make. This might help them protect them selves from what solar radiation that would be around out there. On the other hand they may have adapted, and their bodies may be efficient at collecting solar/cosmic radiation to help their bodies process their food, and to keep them going. Kind of like a lizard sunning its self. As far as what you could have them look like I have no clue ... you could say that they are real big to collect solar/cosmic radiation ( though they need not be), but Pluto is not that big. I would stay away from the normal SiFi, human in a jumpers, look. They would have some type of adaptation for ice because that may be the main think that they walk on (maybe hard shell like pads on the bottom of their feet/foot that shaped like a cheese grater...keep them from slipping?) heck, they could melt in earth type temps. (Disad-Susceptibility: Temps in range X up ) .... I just read your post again, I think I went a bit off topic from what you were asking for... sorry . I'll think about it and if I come up with something I'll repost. Did you want game mech. as well?

Thanks for this post. Took a look at the program and it looks nice. Another bonuse is that some of the link on the linked site have good info. of there own.

So what was the answer?

Rigel - by any chance do you have the ISBN numbers for those books? I would like to go and take a look at them at a local store but they told be I would need there numbers to help them find them... or at leat their full names. Anyway, any info. would be helpfull. Drake- PS: having the ISBN numbers should also help Arooo find it... almost instantaneously.

Don't know if your plans include this but do you plan to do any of the post B5 things. I know there were not many episodes to work form but I would like to see a HERO write-up for Techno-Wizards (or was that Techno-Mages), some of the other equipment, and 'stuff'.

first - bevore someone frames me for my spelling, I'll say it first- my spelling sucks. ANYWAY, I thought this was a real good point because there are many other materials out there that can be used for money, and that would add flavor to a fantasy world. 1st) The avalability of 'money' it truly monopolised by the government. I know I can't find another leagle place that makes money. 2nd) If the powerrs that rule the land state this is what you will use, odds say that is what will be used. 3rd) Gold, sillver, and the like are not TRULY usefull to people. The lack of both is what caused them to have some worth, and both are way to soft and or heavy to use for tools. Aluminum falls in to the same 'usfullness' as gold and sliver, so why not make coins from it? I agree that there isn't all that much you can do with aluminum in a post-indus' world but just the fact that everyone dose not have it can make it priceless! In fact they found in a old world king's treasuery a set of aluminum flatware. Said to be worth a lot for the time! Over all you may not be able to do much with aluminum wafers made into coins (as someone pointed out) but what are you going to do with a gold, sillver, copper, platnum, ect... wafer. Not much. You want it for a coin that will not decay, and it works perficly for that. ---- as a side note: Pearlite was all the rage for a time. Even the wealthy would buy things made with it... untill they found out its just fossilized dinasaus dung.
