Re: Traveller HERO: end is approaching Looks like RPGNow is my best bet... PDFs are my preference. Thanks

Re: Traveller HERO: end is approaching Does anybody besides Comstar sell the TH products? They appear to only have 2 payment options... Paypal or Check/MO, I would really like to us a Visa Card...

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign That sounds good to me.... maybe we can swap from story Arc to Story Arc. That a way I can have time work out the maps and character sheets for future events. I am guessing that if we play this week and next then break for one week for Thanksgiving, Then if you are ready, that would be good. This first story arc is kind of short and I expect one or two sesions at the most, the second one is, or can be somewhat longer.

Re: Dark Matter Rising Yes, using my Alternity Hero adaptation... I have a PDF guide to converting Alternity to Hero if anyone is interested. It is currently 16 pages and only covers the basic character races from the StarDrive campaign setting. But the conversion tables and notes work just fine for Dark Matter as well. Heh... I managed to say all that without a single hint as to what the characters are going to get mixed up in...

Re: Dark Matter Rising Ghost Angel, and I have successfully tested him on MT 1.3b45. I will definately be using it this Thursday. I will leave the server up and running as much as possible between now and then so you can login and work on tokens and macros.

Re: Dark Matter Rising I have loaded up the MT server. The server name is Wolves Den. The player password is the same as used for Gemini Ascendant... Hope to see you there

Re: Who was WWII's most important leader? Patton... Then Audie Murphy... followed closely by... John Wayne

Re: Dark Matter Rising So as not to spoil any thing, I will not post character bios until after our first play session. But I now have 2 characters out of six ready for play

This thread is for our dark Matter Rising campaign. It is a Dark Champions/Horror Hero style campaign. Think Supernatural, meets X-Files, meets Sanctuary. This is a modern campaign set in the current time frame. Aliens, Bigfoot, Ghosts, Psionics, Magic, and such are considered finge science at best and pure fantasy by most. Characters are 100+50 Powerful Heroic figures. NCM is in play. Also I have decided to implement Normal Skill Maxima and set it at 16. What this means is that to raise a skill level to 17 or higher costs double the normal point cost. Of course this doesn't stop you from using SLs/CSLs/PSLs to raise levels. All Skill Enhancers are in play. Use the modern everyman skills from 5ER. Equipment is free but think Walmart, anything beyond the norm must be pre-approved. I will be giving each character a signature piece of equipment as a sort of "goodie", what you get will depend on your characters background, profession, primary skills, and perks (espcially contacts, access, and wealth). Range penalties will be in play IF we can get MT up and running (my preference). Attached is a campaign file (hdr) for use in HD. Enjoy! I am getting excited about Thursday

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign Ok, I got the first character last night, and she looks great. Well thought out. with that I am starting a Dark Matter Rising thread over in the Dark Champions forum for this campaign. Please look there for inofrmation and posting questions.

Re: Scourges Of The Galaxy I missed the announcement that it was released... I'm off to buy my copy.

Re: Search-Fu Failure... Utility Belt? There is also a great utility belt listed in DC.

Re: Traveller HERO: end is approaching Looks like I need to pony up... I only have book 2 PDF, I at least need to spring for book 1 PDF.

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign Heh... and I even spent XP to buy off that unluck... Oh well, I guess that's the way the cookie... uh, starship crumbles

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign Yeah but blowing up is all in a good cause... Maybe what Wade really needs is an explosion proof ship

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign Waahh!!! And Wade was so looking forward to shooting Dar'Gredick in the... schwaRTZ!!!

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign OK... news on a couple of things. 1) Solron has in his possession a shiney new laptop. It sport 2GB Ram plenty of speed, a huge HDD, and is running Windows Vista. And... wait for it... wait for it... Maptools 1.3b45 loads and runs great. He was able to log onto my server, view maps, see and move tokens, and the whole smear!!! I am not advocating that we move back to maptools... at this time. I just want everyone to be aware that Solron's hardware issues are taken care of. 2) I have decided based on the vote to proceed with a Dark Matter campaign. It is set in late 2008, modern America. Charactres are 100+50 (max 150 points), no hunteds. At the outset the characters do not know each other. Random travellers that meet at the start of the game. No powers at the outset, though perks and talents are ok. If you want to have the potential to develop psionics, or magic skills, you need to spend at least one point on a custom talent: Latent Psionics, or Latent Magic. That one point can later be re-distributed into the actual psionic or magic IF it develops. Most modern packages from Dark Champions are ok, such as Police officer, private detective, reporter, doctor, psychologist, scientist, photjournalist, parapsycholigist, student, soldier, private detective, militiaman, librarian, truck driver, politician, actor, pilot, or most any other profession you can think of that exists real world. Once each player submits a basic character, I will assign them some signature equipment based on their chosen profession, and then the players may supplement that with some individual purchases/choices. When you submit your character, if there is some specific piece of signature equipment you desire please let me know, and I will consider it. I am also open to questions about the characters and the campaign in general at any time. I am still in the preparatory stages at this time and won't be ready to run for another couple of weeks. After that I will just continue to do additional prep work, until such time as the group, and our existing campaign are ready for a change. Also once characters are submitted I will most likely start a thread based on that campaign over in the DC forum.

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign Hmmm... so far it looks like Dark Matter, I'd like to wait till we hear from Tim and Chad. Terrie says she is good either way.

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign I hope all is well... see you next week

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign The Echos of Heaven would be based off of the provided adventures initially and then flow to whereever the plot developed to. It is a fantasy setting where the world is a battleground between the forces of heaven and hell. Magic exists as do fantastic creatures. Angels, being the Warriors of God are about, but they can be anything but benign. Demons are the fallen angels of heaven, and while assumed evil, they are not neccesarily always inimical to mankind. And there are those caught in between... which brings us to the players In my Dark Matter campaign the characters start off knowing very little... sort of OMG did you see that, I thought that was only some story to frighten children. It is set in modern day earth however. It is a very dark and gritty campaign, and can sometimes be somewhat graphic, and violent. It is intended to be a sort of modern Call of Cuthulu type game... minus Cuthulu but with all of the other horror elements, ghosts, voodoo, undead, strange creatures, lost legends, aliens, black helicopters, witchcraft, men in dark suits, tin foil hats, and any other sorts of paranormal goodness for the players to explore. Of course you can tell others what you have seen, but then you risk being branded a nut case or worse being institutionalized. Which again brings us to the players...

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign I need a group vote... I have finally cleared my plate of a couple of projects, and am about to start work on preparing a new campaign, I am kind of feeling the itch to GM again. When the time comes, would you rather I run a Fantasy Hero campaign, or a Dark Champions campaign. The FH campaign would be set in the Echoes of Heaven campaign setting. And the DC campaign is a home brewed setting based loosley on the Dark Matter campaign setting. For any not familiar with Dark Matter, think of the new Sci-Fi series Sanctuary, with a healthy dose of X-Files, ghost hunters, and monster quest thrown into the mix.

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign :hail: Thats cool

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign OK... MT is not yet ready for consumption but this is cool... The guy that does the MT tutorial videos is Hero player... who knew Check this out: http://www.rptoolstutorials.net/random/attack2/attack2.html

Re: Gemini Ascendant Campaign ROFL this will be fun, watching Sam try and get Wade to quit calling her "Admiral", Wade knows it bugs her
