Re: Hit Locations for Melee (particularly Fantasy/Mediaeval) combat In my fantasy Hero games players with shield can use them as a wall. a medium round shield would cover hit locations formthe shoulder to the thigh form one hex side if you hit those locatoins you have to penatrate the shield first. Roman legionires would get cover from the ankle to the shoulder. This repasents the person active holding the shield up and toward an attacker. A player can just take the shield bonus, which is a more active moving the shield in a parry (which randomly opens you up so you can get hit anywhere) Lord Ghee

came across this on the coast to coast site. good plot thread. http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/montmonster/ have fun have not look over the site. Lord Ghee

Re: Hit Locations for Melee (particularly Fantasy/Mediaeval) combat One reason I like Hero is that the hit chart was a lot like my experince in medival renacting combat and Marital art experince. In sparring you garde your head and torso so hand and leg blows are recieved and deliviered more. I use cover from shields and packs pouches as covering hit location. In a western game i was in a player stole some gold and was shot in that location and it saved him. Lord ghee

Re: Stupid firearms question it is generally not the heat that fires shell. If I remember correct the primer need to be wacked to go off. in a fire the round expands which allows the powder to be contacted by the fire which sets off the bullets ect. this is one reason that the rounds go off at different times and some never go off in the fire. Now heat might cause the powder and the primer to become more unstable eaisier togo off with less force. Lord Ghee

Re: Stupid firearms question Rumor has it that NASA had an Astronaut try out a 45 to see if it work and the rumor was that it did Rumor many years later wispherd that the soviets had mounted a 30mm cannon on a capsul and tried it out (it worked) so that they had a polieted anti sat system.

Re: Star Wars:the Gathering Storm Breaks GM to Dangerous Dan:"so you did not post anything on the game. DD to GM:" what is there to post, I flew up saw the Padawan Sabrina get Hosed off the tower so I pursuied her. Caught her in mid flight and then was stop by two Traffic Droids, which gave me tickets for :desceneding to fast, greatly exceeding the speed limit and most annoining of all picking up an illeagal hicthhiker. And the burn is that the Padawan did not get a ticket for Hitchhiking just stated "Jedi business". Wow that's . . .(really not hiding smile much) bad. so you going to get the jedi to pay for the tickets? DD looking at GM like he is insane;" Have you ever heard of a Jedi paying for anything" GM: oh, you got a point.

Re: Star Wars:the Gathering Storm Breaks Hello everyone, Friday we played. Unfortunately most of the Players showed up late and so we only got to play a half session. Piranha as GM had to remind the Jedi that they where on Coruscant for the great council. So the Jedi had to stay a couple of days so Tribune left in immediate pursuit. Chapter two title: Pirates of the space Mines. The opening scene : in the Jedi temple’s great hall. The Padawans Sabrina and Gerald (Roberts character) are walking to meet their masters as the great meeting has broken up. Yoda glides up and address the Padawans. Praises the rescues and questions about Sabrina’s light saber lost. After the exchange Yoda gives Sabrina a test of skill to determine if she is able to go on missions. Yoda: In danger you are (to Sabrina) Yoda: Run you must (to Gerald) Robert to GM: run I do Sabrina is then attacked by 6 Jedi training spheres. (GM note: Robert and Sabrina are new to Hero and I felt that it would be a good thing to get them and others get use to my style and their Jedi before their lives are on the line.) Sabrina pulls her blaster after her Light sabre fails (it worked just a minute ago really!) to activate. (yep she had one {yoda’s quote to El Tripon- young she is: dumb she’s not) GM surprised.) fights the spheres a bit then decides to run (to change the environment ect.) ends up finding Blackjack and Robert. Who together defeat the spheres. Quote : Sabrina to the clean up Droids “ Bill Yoda it was his training Session.” The Jedi Knight Blackjack and Padawans, Sabrina and Gerald, prompted by Sabrina inquire on Jedi stuff and outfit themselves with –breathers, skin armour, enviro cloaks and more. Master El Tripon joins them and the four leave to rescue the Senator. With Dangerous Dan as their pilot who uses his hyper space navigation and hyper space speed enhancer (lets mess with the plot, dratted mega skill {to cool}) to arrive in system almost on top of the Pirates who just intercepted the Tribune’s ship. Being Jedi their plan is one of getting captured with the bonus of the fact that Blackjack and Gerald disguise themselves figuring that the pirates would not expect a second Jedi pair. Into the pirate ship (a gaint converted mining ship) they go and are off loaded to the brig with Jedi Master El Tripon and Padawan Sabrina taken to the tractor beam warehouse where they are imprisoned floating in the air. Splash page everyone in their proper prison. Everyone had a good time. Next run Friday the June the 30th. Will be posting the Fire Driod and the Padawans. May the Force be with you . Lord Ghee.

Re: Star Wars:the Gathering Storm Breaks Thats is Great Post Michele duh!

Re: Star Wars:the Gathering Storm Breaks From the "yummy licious dude's" (thanks, Sabrina) viewpoint: (GM note :Report from Tribune) I was in my suite acclimating to Corruscant's (sp?) inexorable gravity well when I noticed a large robot controlled vehicle of some sort careening through traffic toward my building. It slammed into the side of the tower, shattering windows and starting a large fire on the exterior of the building. Grabbing my laser pistol I headed for the door with my (almost) trusty protocal robot and found the blast doors closed, effectively locking me in the room. The air in the apartment was rapidly venting out into the atmosphere, dangerously low on oxygen at this altitude, so I activated my personal life support module and tried overriding the computer lock on the blast doors. I discovered that the security settings had been tampered with to show my apartment as vacant, adding to my suspicion that this had been no accident. A robot fire vehicle approached and a couple of rescue droids flew in the window. The rescue droids proceeded to grab the two of us and carry us out the broken window. I was concerned but the situation within the apartment was degrading rapidly so I decided going with them was the better strategy. Just as I was carried out the window, a small transport flew in and depositied four persons I soon learned were of the Jedi Order. Upon their arrival they were attacked by the robot fire vehicle, a woman being deliberately struck with a jet of water that sent her flying out the window. A mysterious force, or I should say Force, halted her descent and she managed to regain the window. My view of what was happening within the room was obscured by the bulk of the fire vehicle, but it was clear that is was engaged in some sort of battle with the Jedi, a second of whom was eventually swept out the window to fall out of my sight. The small craft that they had arrived in first tried to disable the fire droid by landing on it, then followed the falling Jedi. I later learned that he successfully caught up with the man. I fired a few shots at the fire droid but was not able to breach its defenses. I ordered the rescue droid to remain in the area and it refused the command. I used a Council security override code and it still refused my command, confirming my belief that this "accident" was to cover an attack against Council members and their families. Eventually I was carried out of sight of the conflict. My protocol robot and I were carried to a building where robots are maintained and repaired. When we reached a safe place to land I destroyed the rescue bots that had kidnapped us and proceeded on my own into the building. I found a room with (four?) men who appeared to be relaxing and asked them who they were. They at first mistook me for Senator Treyor, then told me that the Senator had been kidnapped as well. I asked to what end had these kidnappings been effected, and they responded that they wished to influence the Senator in his trade negotiations with the mining colonies. While the assertion seemed absurd on its face, I was hardly in a position to disagree. After learning that I was not Senator Treyor -- they did not inquire further into my actual identity-- I was allowed to leave. I took a cab back to the residence and attempted to visit the Senator's apartments. When I could not gain access, I alerted security that the Senator might be in danger. The security robots would not investigate, so I tracked down the security chief and, after considerable assistance, convinced him to make a physical check. Although cameras and other electronic surveillance showed the Senator present, it was a robot in his stead. At this point I could do little other than comandeer a suite and investigate through the infocore. I spent several hours backtracking the identities of the men who'd accomplished this coup. They had gained access to building security by posing as maintenance workers. They had not been too concerned about concealing their identities as I was able to pull up security footage of their entry into the building and match it to my recollection of the men I saw at the repair facility. At that time I was visited by (Jeff's, Loren's and Robert's characters) and the pilot who had been on the scene of the fire. They'd been told of the Senator's disappearance and sent to investigate. I led them to the factory where we spent an interminable time wandering the halls and learned very little. The men were all recent hires, had all been hired about the same time, and none could be accounted for. Further investigation revealed that they had taken a fast transport bound for the mining colonies. I made arrangements for the use of a faster transport, which could not be secured until the morning. I bid the Jedi good night. In the morning I had a message from (Blackjacks character) that they had been detained for at least another day by business of the Jedi Council. I secured a second fast transport for their use and left them a message saying that I would meet them at the mining colonies. I departed immediately with my protocol droid and the cadre of guards assigned me by the Council.

Re: Star Wars:the Gathering Storm Breaks here is some group e mails form Lord Ghee to group Subject: Game >Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 15:40:15 -0600 > >OK who was at the game? Did Chris play, I heard that Robert Played. So I >very gratful to blackjack for helping him with a charater. The same goes to >El Tripon for the help that he gave to Sabrina. >what happen!!!! >thanks Piranha for filling in and getting the game off to a start. >I will be able to game master Friday. >It seems the evil I have been doing to my Bosses vodoo doll is having an >effect. from Sabrina What happened was a big "lets pic on the padhwan's" well you know what I say, I say robert and I get a big box of toilet paper and tag Piranha house!!!!! PADWAN POWER!!!!! *high five to Robert* Lord Ghee - what You all are unhappy? sabrina reply no no not unhappiness. just padjuan power toilet papering manny's house. Basically we were headed to Yoda's shack when a garbage truck ran in front of us and crashed into a building. welp the fire broke out and so it was octpus jedi (aka Blackjack) and his padjuans to the rescue or so we thought. (El Tripon was late so I was on loan to jeff as the spare padjuan) it was about that time we realized our wookie was cooked cause the fire equiptment started attacking us and it knocked Robert off the 200 mile tall building. For a moment we all thought Robert could fly but fortunatley dan realized he was only falling with style so he used the ship to play catch the rookie (and he got a big fat ticket for that I might add) in the mean time I was busy impressing squid man and the fire hoses with my ability to duck and move for about a full phase when we finally got knocked out from the water. you could say we got hosed. when we woke up we found ourselfs in the dump and me missing my light sabre. so Blackjack and I headed over to yoda's and caught up with everyone where we discovered that the whole thing was faked so that they could kidnap a senator. so me and a blasted r2 unit spent the evening making a new sabre while everyone else got to go see the yummy lucious dude (aka senators son) and found the clues as to who did it..... and we left off with yoda wanting to delay us with a meeting and the Yummy senators son splitting from the party and taking off early so that he could persue the daddynappers. and that is why Piranha (as GM) is a goat raper and his house must be tp'ed Lord Ghee -Oh so it was a good time.

Re: Star Wars:the Gathering Storm Breaks STAR WARS EPOSIDE I.I THE GATHERING STORM BREAKS It is a dark time for the Galactic Republic, as the separatists movement gains momentum. The Senate is locked in debate and corruption flourishes. The Jedi have been dispatched to the far reaches of the Galaxy to act as the traditional peacemakers. Recently the Jedi have broken the Trade Federation’s blockade on Naboo. The victory seems fleeting as more conflicts are arising between the powers of the Republic. As the clouds of Civil War loom the Jedi council calls a general meeting .

Hello everyone this thread is about our STAR WARS campaign here in El Paso Texas. The Main Game Master: Lord Ghee*. 1st Assistant Game Master: Piranha. Jedi Master: El Tripon*. Jedi: BlackJack*. Padiwan to Jedi Master: Sabrina. Padiwan to Jedi: Robert. R-20 D-40 Jedi repair droid: Kathon. Tribune: Michele. Protocol Droid of Tribune: Piranha. Pilot wandering by: Dangerous Dan*. * = poster on this glorious board (AND yes all I know is the Driods name ) Well the game got off to a great start I had wanted to do a Star Wars game for over a year but it took that long for our group to get a gap. Then after a month of planning my work interfered and I could not make the game. Luckily Piranha step in and ran the start. A great time had by all – I could tell by the laughter on the other end of the phone when I was able to call. So here there will be posts on what happen thoughts and what not. 150pts and light sabers are 2 d6 killing double penetrating. And now cue fanfare: curtain.
