    "Coffin" Kirk and Tank

    By AlHazred in Characters

    Here is a writeup for Brian "Coffin" Kirk and his ever-present sidekick, Tank. "Coffin" Kirk (so-named for his dead-pan stare) appeared in seven stories in Flying Aces magazine (October 1937 to June 1941). Written by Arch Whitehouse, the "Coffin" Kirk stories detail his battles against the evil Circle of Death in the skies over various parts of the world.

  3. More information about "Darklands Alchemy"

    Darklands Alchemy

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    The 1992 computer game Darklands had an interesting alchemy system. This prefab replicates that system tor Fantasy Hero, using the Alternate Enchanted Item Creation Rules from page 320 of the Fantasy Hero 6E book.
     
    The package contains the prefab file, an alchemy document (giving real point costs, Alchemy Skill roll modifications, and Long Term END costs for all of the formulas) and a potions document (giving the effects of each potion, price and weight). In a game adhering closely to Darklands, only one or two potions should be for sale in any given city.

    Equipment: Castlevania Combat Cross

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    This is the combat cross from the Castlevania series. I thought it was an interesting weapon, and at one time was going to include it in a High Fantasy Hero game as a non-standard weapon for a paladin type. The download includes an equipment card meant to be printed on 5.5" by 8.5" cardstock.

  5. More information about "Martial Art - Lunch Money"

    Martial Art - Lunch Money

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    In the brawls that spring up in the yard over the lunch money each kid brings to school, it is the girl who fights with the most savagery, the most viciousness, who wins. The little girls, who have practiced their craft, develop the maneuvers and techniques that make up the essence of this art. They tend to be the ones walking away with a jingling purse while their opponents lie bleeding and unconscious on the asphalt behind them.
     
    You can see this martial art at Surbrook's Stuff.

  7. Package Deal - Star Hero - Astronaut

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    Some time ago, I was looking through the list of Dark Champions professional package deals, and realized one very interesting option was missing -- Astronauts. I did research on astronaut training and found quite a lot of detail online. Putting it together, I worked up the package deal and this is the result.

    Package Deal - World of Darkness - Garou

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    As mentioned in this thread, I worked up some of the old World of Darkness stuff that I owned into Hero terms. My plan was to allow players of my High Fantasy Hero game the opportunity to play those "races" if they wanted to; plus I knew it would be an excellent opportunity to cut my teeth on 6E Hero, which is different enough I felt the need to practice. Werewolves are extremely interesting from a mechanical standpoint. The obvious power for them is Multiform, but after playing with the numbers for a while, it occurred to me that they're really only changing Characteristics around in the different forms. I tried it as a Multipower, and if fit a whole lot better.

    Package Deal - World of Darkness - Kindred

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    I worked up some of the old World of Darkness stuff that I owned into Hero terms. My plan was to allow players of my High Fantasy Hero game the opportunity to play those "races" if they wanted to; plus I knew it would be an excellent opportunity to cut my teeth on 6E Hero, which is different enough I felt the need to practice. Unfortunately, the thread I made to discuss this Package Deal did not survive the forum migration. I think this is a pretty elegant conversion, and welcome feedback.

    Package Deal - World of Darkness - Wraith

    By AlHazred in Prefabs

    Since I had created other World of Darkness package deals, I thought I'd complete the grouping which meant converting the most difficult character type. Wraith: the Oblivion is the most complex character type to play. There are a number of foibles to the package, which I'll deal with in the forum post.
     
    If you prefer a Template version, that's also available.

  13. More information about "Talislanta Hero - Bird Of Prey, Nighthawk"

    Talislanta Hero - Bird Of Prey, Nighthawk

    By AlHazred in Characters

    Nighthawks are a species of nocturnal raptor native to the wooded hills of Yrmania. Swiftest of Talislantan birds, these ebony predators hunt only during the late evening hours. They have exceptional night vision and can spot even the slightest movement on the ground from altitudes of over one thousand feet. Their shining feathers are as hard as flaked obsidian, their knife-edged wings being capable of slicing through even the toughest hide (the bird's claws and beak are used primarily to grasp and tear prey after it has been slain). Highly prized as hunting birds, nighthawks are sometimes tamed and kept as companions by Jaka traders and manhunters. The birds can be taught to hunt by day as well, provided they are given sufficient rest.

    Talislanta Hero - Dryad Bush

    By AlHazred in Characters

    This graceful variety of flowering shrub is found primarily in Astar of the Seven Kingdoms. Late at night, dryad bushes undergo an uncanny metamorphosis, becoming beautiful green forest nymphs. The transformation lasts only until dawn, after which the nymphs return to plant-form. The esteemed botanomancer, Viridian, once professed to have been married to a forest nymph, whom he saw only between the hours of sunset and sunrise.
     
    The pdf has both the bush and nymph forms.

    Talislanta Hero - Equs, Darkmane

    By AlHazred in Characters

    Equs are a hybrid of mammal and reptile prized as steeds throughout the continent. They are quite intelligent, and have their own language, called equan. Some few are even able to speak the languages of humanoids, though a natural tendency toward secrecy forbids most equs from boasting of this ability. In the wild, they travel in herds of up to about sixty individuals.
     
    There are four sub-species of equs: the common and reliable graymane; the swifter but less durable silvermane; snowmanes, built to endure frigid climes and sure-footed on ice or snow; and coal-black darkmanes, aggressive and spiteful creatures who often attack other equs on sight.
