Re: Tips for Space Ships Here's a "one-stop-shopping" thread on space combat, with links to a couple of other good discussion threads on the same topic. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/84315-Starship-combat And there's complete space combat system which will be able to meet your specifications, in the Terracide Star Hero setting, coming out at GenCon.

Re: The cranky thread My computer just keeps getting less reliable. I think it took some lightning damage during one of the storms we had earlier this year. You'd think that would kill it outright, but it's just limping along, gradually getting more pathetic every month....

Re: A Thread for Random Videos "Exit pig one!" Not safe for pork work. Bonus Christopher Walken: one of his best lines ever, from Man on Fire.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Does that mean you get to go shopping? Awesome!

Re: The cranky thread Oh, and it turns out the reason they call it "hornet spray" is because the little b@$t@rds actually like the *&^%$#@! stuff!!!

Re: The cranky thread You are hereby permitted to drink rum, and good whiskey that's old enough to vote. Hope you make it GenCon so I can buy you a round.

Re: Star Hero Command While there are some differences, the setting also has quite a few similarities: I think when Terracide comes out it'll have a lot of stuff you can use. (Or at least I hope so!)

Re: Musings on Random Musings This is Dinky: I've only got one pic and it's a little blurry, cuz she doesn't like to hold still. Ever.

Re: "Neat" Pictures In case you're looking for one that isn't too crowded....

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I seem to have completely forgotten how much trouble one little kitten can cause. Tiny little creature: great big heaps of trouble. It's a good thing they're so *&^%$#@! cute....

Re: "Neat" Pictures This is the coolest thing I've seen today:

Re: The cranky thread I was getting better -- I really was. A day and a half after coming home sick from heat exposure (120F heat index yesterday), I was just about to eat dinner when the power went out -- yeah, we're having another freaking lightning storm. It's after dark, and it's raining, but it's still hotter than f**K-all outside, so my place started getting hot really fast, and that didn't help one bit. Power's back on now (obviously, or I wouldn't be able to post here) and I've got the A/C cranked up high. Maybe I can get back to work tomorrow....

Re: Star Hero Command I went with a variation on this: genetically altered humans went to the stars alongside the 'base-line' stock, although in greater numbers. Some of them have their own cultures, while some colonies have strongly integrated cultures with multiple types of humans. I also wrote up a number of truly alien species which were so different from humans they aren't playable as PC's. Adventures involving one or more of these are always interesting, challenging, and most of all, weird.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I just got a first look at the Terracide layout, and it rocks. (Thanks, Bunneh!)

Re: +1 DC only with Haymaker All true, and as far as those types of CSL are concerned, I agree with you. It becomes an issue when the character has Rapid attack with the HTH only limitation, or Weapon Master defined to work with All Hand-to-Hand Killing Attacks, etc. -- then they want to apply it to a Ranged HKA. I haven't even seen this kind of pretzel logic used in other game systems, because HERO is the only system I know of that builds thrown weapons this way. In any other game system, (or in "real life" for that matter) a thrown weapon is a ranged attack by definition, and nobody with half a brain would argue otherwise. Edited to add: Not that I'm "bashing" HERO. It's flexible enough to avoid this issue by building thrown weapons as STR-based ranged attacks instead of "ranged hand weapons", which works just as well for my purposes.
