  1. Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Where's Canadia?
  2. Re: Defying Gravity TV Series I've watched a few episodes and although it does have soap operishness (is there such a word) it tends to follow the characters and their interaction w/o getting stupid. For one they've avoided the whole pointless random bed-hopping that happens on alot modern soaps AND the characters are concerned about other aspects of human interaction other than wanting to sleep with or get their latest enemy. So far, me likey, Not to mention the latin chick, Paula is soooo cute and tough.
  3. Re: Megastructure Worlds Well the tube is divided into levels so the worlds are actually "flat". I think at some point the inhabitants might discover that kind of like their "Columbus" or "Magellan" running into a massive wall instead of falling off the edge or the walls could have massive transport gates which draw objects moving toward them in and place them back on the opposing side giving the effect of a globe/sphere.
  4. A while ago I put together for the following premise for an M-World (megastructure world). Just wondering what you guys think of the idea. And what you may have put together yourselves. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Long ago someone or something built IT. No one knows why, though they can guess. And no one knows how, but again they can guess. Welcome to ZoneWorld, a huge cylinder in space powered by, some suspect, zero point energy. It is over forty thousand miles long and a little over ten thousand miles in diameter. Contains over three hundred and fifty levels each level zoned off into ten to sixteen fully self-contained environments. The inhabitants, most of them, have no clue as to the true nature of their world. Some have attained “space flight” only to discover the “ceilings” of their environments, but are later silenced by the “illuminated” ones of their zone in one fashion or another. Of these there are about fifty zones. Some have gone over the brink into nuclear war, which as you may have guessed will not harm the zone world, or some would guess. These “nuked” zones range from the sterilized to the mutant vs. “human” lands and everything in between. The center of the cylinder contains a long tube containing water in unimaginable quantity floating in zero gravity created by what seem to be a series of gravity nullifiers, which run the length of the immense tube. Even this is a zone for all kinds of aquatic life, most very strange and alien. The variety of zones even includes what appear at first to be fantasy environments where magic exists (actually in these zones the “magic” is believed by some to be the zoneworld’s energy that the inhabitants have found a way to tap into). This energy can also be used to summon “creatures” from the genetic vats deep in the ship’s bowels that then teleport the summoned “creature” to the requested location, or some would guess. In some environments the inhabitants have found ways to use the zoneworld’s energy in other ways. Including some with so-called “superpowers”. In at least a couple of the zones the energy that powers the great vessel has interacted strangely with some element or virus causing the dead to walk again. These places of horror should be avoided by any traveling zoneworlder as the cause behind the dead rising is thought to be infectious. With hundreds of intelligent races and beings of low and great power the zoneworld is one hell of a ride for anyone of the inhabitants who discovers the true nature of their “world”. It is even believed by the few who know the actual nature of zoneworld that somewhere on it there’s an actual Chamber of Worlds, with gates which lead to other worlds or dimensions, some would guess. It is believed that the inhabitants may have been brought to the zoneworld by the original builders using the Chamber of Worlds. Zone 302 is the newest and was activated just before builders vanished. It bears a striking resemblance to a small blue planet orbiting third form it’s yellow star on the edge of a minor galaxy. The inhabitants believe they have been there from the beginning of time and believe that their world is spherical in nature. Their original world however is now dead and has been for some time.
  5. Re: Traveller Hero Core Books Now Available! Picked up my copies today !!! Can't wait to sit down and read them.
  6. Re: Stutterwarp Drive Most cool shadowcat. Most cool.
  7. I've been thinking about running the Kafer Invasion in 2300AD. And I want to try putting together a HERO version of the Stutterwarp Drive. Have any of you done this already or can you point me the right direction so I can get some ideas as to how to do this. Thank you.
  8. Re: Traveller Hero... an update from the authors Maybe this is a dumb question. But will there be any guidelines for converting stuff to Traveller HERO from other versions of the game??
  9. Re: Traveller Hero... an update from the authors Will they at least have the traditional black and red Traveller format??
  10. Re: Traveller Hero... an update from the authors :thumbup: That would be an E X C E L L E N T !!! format to go with. Especially if there's an optional box set. It also gives the option of players only having to buy what they need.
  11. Re: Speed of Travel For communication you might consider using robot couriers of some kind which a regular route. They would basically drop into a system receive and send messages by radio and then do the same at the next system and so on.
  12. Re: Galactic maps That's a NICE map Publius. What did you use as software to make it?
  13. Re: Galactic maps It is when it doesn't lockup or freeze.

  18. Re: Another possible origin of Mechanon... (Warning: Long) KEWL!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: I haven't played Champions in years but you may have just inspired me to run a Champions game. Thanks.
  19. I've been toying the idea of using a dyson sphere (shell) as the background for a campaign. Has anyone here done this before?? Any tips? Kind of inspired by that ST:TNG episode.
  20. Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Purple Rain Man
  21. Re: STARFIRE the Roleplaying Game Actually one of the first scenarios in Starfire one ship v. one ship in combat. So you can if you choose use it for one on one combat.
  22. I'm sure at least some of you have heard of STARFIRE by SDS originally put out by Armarillo Design. It's also a series of by books by David Weber and Steve White. Has anyone considered turning this into a full blow RPG universe?
