Re: Darklands (Microprose, 1992) Alchemy [6E] I've never heard of this, but I'm extremely interested in Alchemy game mechanics.

Re: Real Armor And END I'm not, nor have I ever been, involved in the SCA, but I know Kamarathin came up with some fairly interesting methods for dealing with heavy armors in Kingdom of Tursh.

Re: Pole Arm Quiz 12 of 22. I remember a lot of those pics from my D&D days.

Re: Atlantis found... Wow. I liked the comments on the article at the end by the scientists mentioned. Pretty cool.

Re: LOTR thoughts There was mention of a Fading of Elves that did not return West. I pictured them as ghasts or some sort of vampire. I envisioned using them somewhere, sometime during the campaign (s).

Re: Nostalgia: Anybody Else Covert Old Gaming Material? I guess we would need to define 'convert' a little better for me to answer. I have ran campaigns in Middle Earth, Wheel of Time, and Magic: The Gathering, so I suppose it was conversion of a sort. Only one of those was with HERO, though.

Re: LOTR thoughts No biggie. We'd get through it. I've never culminated any of that in any of the various campaigns I've run.

Re: LOTR thoughts I'll see if I can find the article. But basically the Evil was using propaganda with younger Gondorians and malcontents to 'popularize' bad folks in the Third Age. Sort of like we've done with pirates, bandits, and thieves of bygone days. I don't want to spoil too much in case you were to actually play in a Fourth Age game I was running.

Re: LOTR thoughts I don't want to give up all the details of my setting, but the Sons of Denethor were the creation of a more insidious Evil. The majority of it came from various places on the net, but the SoD were from Tolkien himself. In that next novel he started children of Gondor were actually acting like orcs and popularizing the evils of the Third Age. Where JRRT left off, I took up the mantle. There was also talk of Sauron's daughter. In my campaign, the subjugated of Nurn were happy to be out from under the yoke of Sauron, but old hatreds die hard. I played a lot with all of that, but as the most versed in the lore, the players just took it for what it was as there wasn't a whole lot left of Tolkien's Middle Earth but the locations and the 'history'. I can see Andy's side of enjoying TA more because of that.

Re: LOTR thoughts Here are two of the aforementioned threads. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/25021 http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/43975 I started another game more recently set in Helm's Deep. I posited a community consisting mostly of Rohan burgeoning behind the Deeping Wall and trading with Aglarond. The two players played Legendary type figures, one Rohan and the other a Dwarf. We only had a few sessions but fun was had by all.

Re: LOTR thoughts I ran a game at Herocentral (and sporadically do so with my ftf group) that used this storyline a bit. You can search this forum for details. The plot is extremely convoluted but here is a tidbit: A rebellious group called the Sons of Denethor had a distant relative of the King kidnapped by agents of Herumor (Dark Lord) hoping to start a rebellion and remove the King and return to the age of Wardens. I started my game 250 Fourth Age. The majority of the Sauron/Saruman antagonists were indeed removed by the White Lady and her Riders. Aragorn/Ellendil almost immediately began to go after these threats as well as shore up possible enemies to the East and South. Then, he began to rebuild civilaztion to the North and West.

Re: Blackwyrm Looking For Star Hero Submissions Best of luck to all the submitters. I need to look at this forum more often. I would have tossed Maug V into the ring! I'm looking forward to hearing more about all of this stuff!

Re: Eberron Hero And should more Eberron Hero goodness.

Re: Eberron Hero If she doesn't, she damn well should.

Re: Fantasy art

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate Space Opera campaign? I don't know that I've heard the specifics of that...

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate Whatever you feel the most comfortable with is great with me, Nol. It would be fun to do something on the side, but with Sw being our pick-up guy and in BFE, we'll have to punt or spend time with our families.

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate I stepped afk to watch The Decision. I checked for your place too, but it wasn't on the list.

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate No problem. Thanks for trying. And, like you say, we'll be ready next time! Rag... You got anything?

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate No need to apologize as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy!

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate I sent the PM as well, Rag.

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate I guess you'll have to run a one off, SW. Two weeks without a game and I could explode!

Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate No server?

Re: Talislanta Hero [6E] Wow. I didn't realize it, but all the Talislanta books I have are the First Edition ones. Crazy. Someone should run a Talislanta game online. :innocent whistle:
