Re: Star Wars: Jedi characters and Miscellaneous Hello NSS , I think it looks great so far . What I would like to see are a few pregenerated charcter Heroes ( Jedi , Rebel Trooper , etc ... ) , Villians ( bounty Hunters , Storm Troopers , etc ... ) , and a few important NPCs yu have planned for your game . Storm Troopers suffer 3d6 Unluck w/first shot Blasters Only . Oh and yah gotta have various STAR WARS sound tracks playing quietly in the background . What else are you looking for ? Cheers QM P.S. : I like the rough draft . I can actually download it .

I was looking through various HERO web sites and noticed quite a few Victorian/Regency HERO campaigns , but few Characters . Since HEROphiles are a prolific bunch I thought to draw on your generosity and invite you to submite your own Characters . cheerio chums QM

Ok , here goes . There are 12 Segements in a combat turn and a PC w/SPD 4 Dodges on Segment 6 . A NPC attacks in Segment 8 . Does the PC get the bonus from Dodge until his Segment 9 ? In otherwords do Manuver Modifiers effect only the Segment they are used or do they carry over until the next Segement the PC acts in ? Hope that was clear ? Thanks QM

Heh Greatworm !!! Could you give me a link to your HERO Conversion stuff or post it somewhere . That would be great . Thanks QM

Re: Things We'd Like To See:PRIMUS I can't believe I missed this one . I whole heartedly agree with my fellow HEROphiles reguarding keeping the IRON GUARDS , but add newer technologies and gadgets and call them Iron Guard Mark I , II , and III . I would also like to see Susano's Digital Hero #10 artical slipped in there soem where . Modified of coarse , but still useful . With the release of the Ultimate Mytic , The Mystic World , Vibora Bay , DEMON , etc... I really like the idea of expanding the Wizards Agent Division . Thanks Qm

Re: Your Character's Greatest Fear? Freyrsson the Mystic fears not death , the unknown , or failure . What he fears is regret . An Vanir Hybred and Mystic who is immortal , he fears not helping , not acting , or mistakes that will haunt for as long he lives . QM

Heh Nato , cool stuff Thanks Nato , I actually really like SPYCRAFT and SHAOWFORCE ARCHER , but I do not like the base system . Somethings I'd steal wholesale other I'd junk . What I'd really like is non glossy pages and shiny type . Ugh .. make it difficult to read for any amount of time . And a Master List of the Feats and stuff from all their products . They have great fan sites though . Got a lot of use out of it for my old Shadowrun campaign ( gods I wish I had seen the HERO Conversion stuff way back ) . Steve has been kind enough to let me know everytime I ask about Danger International / The Espionage World sourcebooks that it will be part of the Dark Champions subgenre . Great work BTW . Hope to see you getting more work from DoJ soon . Cheers QM

Re: How would you do it? Not all Diamonds a flawless . Perhaps a Vulnerability of some sort . I remember a write up of Diamond Lil' of Alpha Flight . Here Hair was Diamond sharp , her nails could cut through just about anything ( a HKA w/Reduced Penetration , but Armor Piercing ) . Damage Reduction or Reflection vs Light Based Attacks . A Damage Shield , Penetrating ( Only vs Physical Attacks ) . The Ultimate Brick is coming out soon could provide some great stuff . ( HURRY UP GUYS ) Cheers QM P.S. : Check out Surbrook's Stuff , Character Archive , European Enemies ( Corrected ) , Fawcett . Also check out Enemies of San Angelo . really cool write-ups .

Re: Seeking Online Resources for Danger International ( aka The Espionage World )

I realized that the standard HERO System 5th Edition Character sheets are to contricted for my use . Has anyone created their own with larger Skills , Perks , Talents , Powers , Disadvantage sections . Good for pregenerated characters in a Heroic( semi Cinematic ) campaign . Please and thank you . QM

Heh folks , I seeking Star HERO player created characters and their Standard Equipment stuff . I'm runnig a BATTLETECH HERO campaign and the players want more characters samples than I can provide . Their are thousands of Champions characters , but few Star HERO characters available Online . Thanks QM P.S. : around the 150 to 200 pt. mark .

Heh Folks , I'm seeking good online resources for Danger International ( aka The Espionage World ) . My Battletech campaign looks to be heading into the espionage subgenre right now . I've got many GURPS books , and others . Any suggestions ??? Thanks QM

BATTLEcat1313 formerly known as Shadowcat1313 You are the MAN , thanks for posting the text files on the Star HERO Fandom web site in text . I can not properly articulate my appreciation for your hard work . Thank You QM P.S. : The Heat Sinks forum looks good .

Re: Character write ups:More or stop? Nope just label CHARCTER WRITE UP or start your own version of the HERO a Day... Sorta thread . That would be cool actually . Sincerely QM

Re: Warhammer Battlemech So what about post'n all that BATTLETECH stuff up on somethin' I'z ken understand ???

TUV : Warhammer BattleMech Heh Shadowcat1313 , that's really cool . You missed a few things , but they are minor overall . A added what I thought you missed and I've got a few questions in reguards to your conversions . A Warhammer possesses 11 tons of Armor , 18 Heat Sinks , 2 Small Lasers , and 2 MGs . Great stuff BTW . I couldn't even critique it without your hard work on the conversion rules . Please continue to post in non - hdc. format .

Re: Publishing Fiction Check RDU Niel's Secret Worlds . That's a short story in and of itself .

Re: Lightsabre Combat! Hello Folks , I look forward to seeing the varied Jedi Light Sabres / Laser Swords techniques in The Ultimate Martial Artists format . Then Jedi Charcters at various stages ; Apprentice , Journey Man , and Master . With some Package Deals for them . Add in differing Philosophies of the Force ( DARK AND LIGHT ) . Various Force Sensitives and their kinds . Cheers QM

Hello Darren , Steve , Ben , and fellow Herophiles . I wanted to know if the Dark Champions sourcebooks overlap so much of the Danger International genre / settings that we will never see Danger International save a as a World setting source book say something like The Espionage World . I know it's more speculation than than a question , but I was recently going through my Dark Champions sourcebooks and discovered many characters came from an Espionage style background . The opposition was quite often related as well . I really like the Espionage subgenre and hope that the new Dark Champions sourcebooks will address it . As for DANGER INTERNATIONAL well perhaps it could provide a basis for a The Espionage World sourcebooks . Thoughtfully yours QM

Heh Susano , have you checked this one out . It's got some great Conversions of other setting you might like . http://appleseedd6.tripod.com/

-15 Susceptibility : Transit Disorientation Syndrome ( Common , Instant , +3d6 Drain to DEX ) The origin of this disadvantage is mostly literary . And has only been converted to MW3 . A terrible system IMOO . The effect I'm looking for is a sick and hampered for a period . About half an hour . It happens when a JumpShip leaps from one star to another instantly . Leaving them incapacitated . It needs to last about half an hour leaving the sufferer partially incapacitated . How who you work it out .
