Re: Traveller Hero... an update from the authors Looks good. While I probably won't play the Hero version, I have enjoyed reading the other Com*Star Traveller products. Yeah, it is a big beastie. I recently picked up the re-prints of the CT Supplement books, one of which had it. Impressive ship. For people who have not seen it, it is the big flying eyeball of doom seen here. http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/traveller/starships/img/cover_lg.jpg

Re: Heroes for pay I'm a fan of Supertemps from GURPS: Supers. Have powers and are not sure what to do with them? Sign on with Supertemps! In addition to the Guardian Division (Heroes for Hire), there are the Industrial and Entertainment Divisions. So even if you don't want to use yours powers risking your life, you can make a living or at least some extra cash. If you have some kind of oddball problem, just contact Supertemps and they will see about hooking you up with someone with powers that could help. I think it is one of the more realistic Super Setting Corperations I have read about.

Re: [Character] Apex First, I rather enjoyed reading the session summaries. I'm going to have to spend some serious time going over your site Killer Shrike. I've read a number of Hero books, but just for the setting info. I've never really looked at the builds. Thinking that it would be worthwhile to attemp to grok the system, I created my first Hero system character tonight. I was going for a more or less generic brick. I am quite amused at how close he turned out to Apex in some ways. This leads me to belive that I managed to create a character that would be mechanically Viable in a Champions game. My STR was only 60, my speed 6 and my body 30. However my Con, Int, Dex, Ego, Pre, PD/rPD and ED/rED were all the same. I didn't have any powers other the the DR and an extra 4" of running, instead going with some skills and some Karate. I didn't reference any of the pre-gen characters while I was working (other to get Distinctive Features: Mutant from the Teen Heroes Book). I just sort of played things by feel and benchmarks. I think my next step will be to test out the combat rules. Apex looks like he would be an good guy to trial run against.

Re: (best ever...) reasons for becoming a superhero Not sure if this qulifies as "best ever" but here is one for a character that I did up but never used. Because I am, quite frankly, a monster. I get off on stuff that would make most of the people on Death Row sick to their stomachs. It is only by doing this, channelling my impulses in a controlled way that I can begin to function in society. Only be associating with people who will not tolerate my slipping and strong enough to stop me DEAD if I do fall can I, in good Conscience, allow myself to live.

Re: Algernon Files Questions Other then the stats being for a different game, is there any difference between the Hero and M&M version of the book?
