Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Being a movie star counts for a lot but if he's going to be a Dallas Cowboy Dabne Coleman's gonna need to go the extra yards in ... Dabne does Dallas Some wishes even a leprechan can't grant, see what it takes in ... Darby O'Gill Does Dallas Being a beloved baker and chocolatier is a good start but becoming a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader means going all the way in... Little Debbie does Dallas

Re: Telegraph Operation If it's likely to be at all relevant I'd go with it as a Language, and consider Analyze as well to recogognize other Operators' 'hand' which was allegedly as distinct to the trained operatos as a voice. Otherwise just Sys Op should be fine.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares I don't know where and I don't know how but I am going to find a way to use that...repped.

Re: Grandiose Schemes II Ok what's phase 2? How does this help the villains? Are they selling the ability back to the highest bidders? Disruption and Chaos are great if that's what they're after, I suppose.

Re: Steampunk Star Wars (Needs Better Name) I think he might have been talking about the spelling of Vapor rather than the term Vapor Wars. I went with Engines of Revolution - but I like Aether Wars may use it for something else. I also like the Railroad thing - if I wasn't already working on a Railroad inspired setting...

Re: The Fall of Vault 88 Since you're looking for non-Fallout-y spice how about this You've got a long opening about the Ghoulification of the Vault; then the door opens onto the world - this world just a few decades in the future - A nuclear scare triggered some vault activations in the 50's - there was an actual incident - panic, confusion and the large body count meant that this Vault's original occupants were presumed dead and the sealed 'defunct' vault is now the center piece of a monument honoring the fallen. The timed opening is actually the Vault being cracked open on the Centenial memorial in preperation of it being converted into a museum/resort. So now the players manage to exit into a whole new world that's suddenly being exposed to whatever virus is creating the Ghouls...

Re: Re-introducing COM to 6th Edition

Re: Re-introducing COM to 6th Edition I will likely be porting the Complimentary Roll mechanic to 6th but leaveing it as a Talent. Here's the thread I started before 6th released talking about other possible Appearance applications like 'Face in the Crowd' where it would be aiding in Shadowing and Reducing Int chacks to remember the person http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73289

Re: Omcv 1? My first thought was - 'There's that Attack vs. Alternate Combat Value thingy which ought to create a disincenitve for this kind of thing.' At this point, as it turns out, it does not but perhaps in the APG there will be guidelines for targeting OCV's, if not they shouldn't be too hard to add - it'll expand game options and resolve this issue.

Re: Independent limitation in 6E Must spread rep...

Re: The unofficial: I Have 6th edition thread Retrieved the package from my agents this very evening - have yet to examine the disk. I think they were actually picking up copies for a couple of us - she said that when they picked it up on Saturday there were only 5 copies left; so I may have gotten lucky.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares That's not a nightmare; that's awesome squared.

Re: What is your plans for your first 6th Edition game? The next chapter (the 3rd) of my current game, so Heracles' Children:The Land of Rivers and Lakes - Martial Arts Superheroes in a war torn mythic China or possibley a conversion of one of my Savage World bits.

Re: Help naming a campaign Wyrds The Futures

Re: PI or Not? I'm not certain I agree with the premise, 'a limitation CANNOT give you good effects'. I buy an AOE 'only effects Warm Blooded Beings'; a legitimate limit; next week a new player joins playing The Magnificent Lizardo and his hoarde of trained iguana. Do I now need to find a way to make Lizardo's iguana immune to my attack so that they don't pop like baloons when entering it despite my nemesis Madam Mako's fiendish friends having always been immune? Sean's power build seems legitimate and appropriate to the sfx - having a character appropriate defense against a well reasoned power doesn't seem inappropriate at all;

Re: Reading the blurry handout....

Re: Sixth Edition Showcase #6: Defense Powers I have to say that, while I had every intention of purchasing 6th edition, these Showcases have converted me from a 'I guess I'll get it and see how it goes' buyer to an 'eagerly awaiting it's arrival' buyer. Thanks

Re: Hero System from the scratch.. 6th hasn't released but my understanding is that you should be able to convert most characters forward from 5th®with minimal difficulty, in at least some cases the only significant change would be the point cost. So pretty much, once 6th is released, you can evaluate it and decide if you'd like to convert. I can't speak to converting from Fuzion, I have the book in one of the boxes of RPG's to be shelved when I have space rather than RPG's that must be on shelves - haven't opened it in years.
