  1. I have played Hero system for a long time all the way from 1st edition. I love most of what you done with 6th but I miss 2 things. One EC's I can understand might have been unbalance so I will not worry about that. The other thing I miss is the Characteristics based on other Characteristics. It was logical to me that a persons endurance be based on his con and that speed was based on Dex. what I want to know was is there a game balance reason for the change or was it a simplifing move. It seems that you had to increase the base point scale to compensate for this change. A hero used to be around 250 pt's with disades now it 300pt's. If it is possible can you give us the option to go back to that system? I no longer have the old books to work with but a PDF with a character sheet and the adjusted base point values as well as a breft set of rules would be nice.

    Thank You

    It was just what I needed now has anyone converted the "Wilds Rar Trader" they only have the "Wilds Free Trader" in the trav. hero supplement. I have alway found that Far Traders Better suited for my players and my campian. Jump 2 is a good base.

  3. Re: Traveller starship combat

     

    Truly I think one of the problems is that hero does not really give any thought to relative speeds and distance most people forget that a1G maneuver drive in traveller translate in to a acc. of 1g per/timeunit this means that most ships combat is both at extreme differences in vol. and range. Ship a is moving 100000km/s in direction a and ship b is moving 24000km/s in direction b you just can not directly compare the two plus at most system speeds their are delays caused by distance ie light has to tarvele to. Do I have an answer no I just kind of wing it for the most part space ship combat never been a major part of my game.

    You Americans are just so cute when you're having an election. Is there any chance you can schedule them so you're always having one?

    Oh. Never mind then.

    Uhm, uh, Post-Apocalyptic Hero. Is that like when the grocery store runs out of Pellegrino? (We're a little sheltered here in Kitsilano.)

    If we did that than we would not have to play a post-apocalyptic hero game becouse we would be living in one:doi:

  5. Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next?

     

    hay I just was thinking maybee you could do Alien books like they did for megatravller combine an human major race with an alien race. like Solomani/Aslan which I am all ready using more background info and more race Spec. bundles and equipment

    actually it was printed for Mega with floor plans. it has 2 triple laser and 2 dual plasma?/fusions? guns and the gig I am not at home or I would give you the actual book. I think it was one of the mega trav mag. great ship I agree and I like it better than its sister by far.;)

  7. Re: Traveller-era guns

     

    :ugly: Also remember that the heavy armors like combat armor and battle dress are also military only items. also because of the real good chance of putting a hole in the ship most ship board weapons are mêlée or low speed like the accelerator rifle and snub pistols. the military goons in battle dress do not care if they breach the hull but the players might.

  8. Re: "Back when I started playing Champions...."

     

    Back when I started playing Champions we only had book 1 & 2 and were playing the orignal champions from the Champions. Some of you know them the Markman, IceStar, Giant, Flare, Rose. than our Ref made the mistake of letting us make our own characters. that is how I learned what true rule bending was. a 400pt character built with 250pt. if any one ever ask you for a 1/4 limit on teleknissis becouse it is only usable with a certian object think real hard about what they will do with that object than just say NO

  9. Re: Traveller: Jump Drive

     

    maybe an endurance battery with the limit can only be recharged by refueling than you could take in the fact that with a jump gov jumps shorter than max only use the app amount of fuel. many cannon ships did this like the fury class gunboat had a jump rating of 4 but could make multiple jump 1s if needed with out refueling.

  10. Re: Traveller Hero Update

     

    Yea I'm chopping at the Bit for this one also Just got "Out of the Darkness & Bearers of the Flame" they are a must. Not any real rules but pack with background and "Berers of the Flame" has an entire Domain with plenty to play with in it. please inform us as soon as it is done.
