Re: Military Campaign Yes playing in the 'military' can become a tad bit boring for the players as well as the GM. Penn

Re: FTL vs. Lots of Megascale Movement I much perfer Robotech Fold engines better myself! Penn

Re: Musings on Random Musings Well yes I am a registered REPUBLICAN, and have been all my adult life! Now if we could just find some good ones to actually run, we'd be alwrite. For me really I vote whomever would do the best job, NOT by party. Penn

Re: Glassy Mars When is the manned landings on Mars planned for 2012-2015? Or did they push it back to 2020? Penn

Re: FTL vs. Lots of Megascale Movement FTL is Faster the Light movement and depending on what SciFi reference show you are looking at, it does have differences. Star Trek FTL is Warp Speed or Trans Warp...but then they also have used others too Star Wars uses a kinda Warp speed as well Battlestar Galatica FTL uses a kind of Jump into hyper-space, as well as does Traveller as well as SG-1/SGA B5 uses a Jump Gate system Fold is something completely different but that was used by Robotech series.. I will leave "Megascale Movement" to someone else... Penn

Re: Rail gun damage? We need Plasma Rifles... Penn

Re: PAH - KV Virus - Infected designing I plan to use this KV Virus as the cause of my Apocalypse in my PAH campaign set in a PAH and Traveller hero campaign setting!!! I like it much better than either the T-Virus from Resident Evil or Dawn of the Dead flesh eating Zombies!!! Penn

Re: PAH - KV Virus - Infected designing Hey TH...read it dude and help me out!!! Ok to continue on with what I would like to design: Thus is what I would like to have designed into TWO packages for the infected of KV Virus : Mutant Package, Night Walker Package! I need the aid of this collective body please!!! Penn

:dynHello my fellow Hero gamers, I would like to humbly ask for some design assistance in building a "package" for the "infected" with the KV Virus. Now let me stress I am looking for working ideas and assistance in creating this to better design this for my Post Apocalyse Hero campaign also set in a Traveller Hero new era 1248. For myself I want to see and get a good feeling and understanding of how and why you feel it should be designed what-ever way. Although I have collected Hero System stuff, and I have read it all...sadly till reciently I have been a d20 GM. So I am a bit rusty and not fully up to snuff on all v5 Hero Systems stuff, and seek the "Help" of this collective to aid me with this design element:angst:! GOAL: To design the KV Virus "package for the Infected" using the Hero System v5. The KV Virus is the infection used in the current movie of "I am Legend", where by the "infected" become genetically altered Nightwalkers that have lost all their humanity and are total berserking flesh eaters. I intend to use the infection on a world in my combo PAH/TH campaign, and have the players be apart of the 2% of humanity that is immune totally to the KV Virus. I need help in designing this using the Hero System v5. I want to design a 'package' that I can take any character and "Infect them" and then end up with a KV Virus Infected. So how is this so far, I will follow with more shortly with what things I wanted to do or have them have. Penn

Re: Post Apocalypse Hero: I am Legend Some more comments: Well it was a pretty good movie and I will also buy it once it is out on DVD! Penn

Re: Setting for a "realistic" campaign in space I still like my first design of 2 worlds about each star, works the best! You could also state that they have never made the leap to discover star drive tech. Simply position your binary star system between galatic arms within the galaxy and there isn't another near by solar system to be able to reach. Thus this would explain why star driv tech was never seriously worked on, and why they would have focused on doing tera-forming projects on the various different world to make those four different world liveable to humantity. As to space ships, maybe you base the ships off of Traveller based smaller ships. Thus System Defense Boats, and small merchants and etc. Make the crews like 4-5 men with maybe a robot or two with a AI computer and etc. Penn Penn

Re: T5th give me a break Hey I don't like the way this all went down, and I own the (4) products (2 TH, 2 New 1248 era) from Comstar , but I like all Traveller items and look at it all as resource material for my own campaign. I don't care whom puts it out as long as it still keeps rolling on with more stuff. I seem to collect it all, kinda like I need to have all Hero's stuff now too! Penn

Re: Horror Playtest Hey the "infected" from I am Legend are much cooler than any plain flesh eating Zombie! They are a must for a HH or PAH campaign!!! Penn

Re: Ninja Hero Question Hey if you want to send me a Christmas present, I'd be more than happy to be Rep'd as often as anyone wants...need to get that up high:Dtoo! Penn

Re: Turakian Age Q: Gunpowder? I always like to give "gun powder" to Dwarves and call it something like "Breath of Mordin" Stating that it has secret elements that defy all attemts to duplicate it outside of the secret Dwarven temples that make it. Besides it is only the Dwarves that have the skill to make the metal barrels strong enough to be able to be used with it anyway as well too. Penn

Re: Ninja Hero Question Hey you know what I discovered, I don't have a copy of: The Ultimate Martial Artist So this morning I just had to order it as well as Cops,Crews, and Cabals One simply must have them ALL...!!! Penn

Re: Post Apocalypse Hero: I am Legend Hmmmm.... Some comments with spoilers: Just more of my thoughts! Penn

Re: Post Apocalypse Hero: I am Legend My comments about the ending...to follow below(push button to read): Just my 2 cents and thoughts to all! Penn PS: I will use this Virus in my PAH/TH campaign...I like it much better than the pure Resident Evil (T-Virus) and Dawn of the Dead (Plague).

Re: Post Apocalypse Hero: I am Legend Well the ending was a bit a disapointment, I would have liked them to draw out the final stuff a little more. Do you think they did it like that to make a follow up movie? Penn

Re: Post Apocalypse Hero: I am Legend Well cool and thank you Thia Halmades, I have made the changes you have said and it works like a charm...AWESOME!!! Penn

Hello everyone, ************* Spoiler Alert - If you plan to see "I am Legend" do not read**** - - - ********************** Spoiler - Last Warning!!! ******************** Ok one of my friends/players and I just got back from watching "I Am Legend". It was a pretty good movie and is most definately Post Apocalypse Hero setting!!! . The movie is well worth seeing! Penn

Re: Setting for a "realistic" campaign in space OK with a Binary star system, with a major and minor star I would advise designing the system as follows: Primary Star system (2) planets with atmospheres that humans can breath, make one a perfect Earth like duplicate, and the other slightly different and requires a resperator because of lower oxygen levels. Maybe the 2nd planet is Dune Like, Or Frozen in Ice, or Water world...but make it different. Secondary Star System (1) Moon around a Large gas Giant , not a perfect world but breathable atmosphere, and the other planet is a Mars like world with a thicker atmosphere and running water and some plant and animal life as well too. Thus you would have (4) planets, and then the rest of the worlds (planets/moons) might have bases and/or colonies on them. The next question is, are you using humans and No other Intelligent Alien species. Two different races could have developed in those different systems and etc. Penn

Re: Horror Playtest Hey don't forget Flesh munching Zombies guys.... Penn

Re: Starship Wrecks Awesome models and sceens!!! Penn

Re: What is Your Favorite Item? Hmmm Cauldron of Souls - Magic item if used with the correct magical rituals, and if one sacrafices a virgin victum by adding their blood to the cauldron's mix and then they can make depending on the rituals used and power expended different Undead like; Skeltons, Zombies, Ghouls and the like. Other undead are also possible, but it all depends on the rituals used. Penn
