If an region is know of it weather, environment, or terrian in TA you may want to list the information. I think the environment of an area is missing from many game world. Mike

Religion: Since this a alternate Earth where magic exist, I would consider using some god/goddess from real Earth Mythology (Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, etc...).

I have been looking forward to the Turakian Age since Fantasy Hero came out. I think this will give the Hero System a chance to stand out in large volume of fantasy RPG in the market. Here is what I would like to see in the Turakian Age Races: I think you must have elves and dwarves in the book, to appeal to the status quo group. Other than that, go wild. Avoid a halfling type race. The Erqigdlitn (MMM pg. 38) is a great example of a race would like to see. Same for evil races, orcs are old hash. Avoid using drow, since they have been over done in other RPGs. Create something new that will scare the pants off of the PCs, even at 75+ points. Professions: You have this covered in Fantasy Hero and MMM, just the one for special military units. Religion: Most RPGs make religion too black and white. These are gods, and should not be limited to such concepts as good and evil. One areas sun and farming god may be another areas god of fire and burning. Also, do we need demi-human gods? Couldn't a god of battle appear to humans as human and dwarves as a dwarf? The regions of the world: Any countries/fief you list I would like to see some basic information: 1. Capital 2. Ruler/type of Government 3. Alliances/Enemies 4. Economy and what they trade. 5. Groups of special interests: head temples of god, large magic school, large thieves guild, etc… 6. Any special laws: no magic. 7. Special units: packages deals and mass combat stats of special group/units 8. Maps, maps, maps Magic: I think you have magic covered pretty well. You may want to stat out some magic artifacts that are famous from that age (great for plot seed). I would also avoid Psionics, it would make the world seem to D&D like. History: Give us lots of details and lots of plot seeds, and we will be happy. More later Mike

I wanted to create a thread where people could post magic items they create for Fantasy Hero. They may be your favorite magic items other RPGs converted to Hero, or better yet one of your own design. Mike

I still think DOJ needs to include all stats with the adventure they publish. I think a stat block with no background would not prevent the sell of other books, and would allow the books to used stand alone. Mike
