Re: [PA Hero] Limited Nuclear War Not So Good Ok following with what the article had to say, much of the 3world nations would either starve to death or tear themselves apart to try to get what others had. Now places like Europe, UK, Cananda, and the US would have shortages, but would become safe zones and their millitarys would mobilize to guard their boarders and maintain the peace. Life would be a struggle but it would basically go on. Penn

Re: Working on my Home Grown Campaign: Fantasy Hero game Actually I do not have that book yet, one of the few actually. Thus when I get the chance to I will try to buy a copy of the HC Fantasy Hero, as well as both Asian Beastiary I and II. I also want to get the Character Creation handbook, plus Cops,Crews and Cabals too. Once I obtain these books then I will have all the Hero's books out for v5. Then as a new book comes out I will buy it to add to my resource library. I started collecting everything for my son because he runs a Champions and Dark Champions based campaign. I then discovered Fantasy Hero products, and bought that plus Star Hero stuff, along with PAH, Ninja Hero, and the new Traveller Hero. Now that D&D v3.5 is going to v4.0 I am done with D&D and wil be converting my D&D v3.5, Traveller d20, and Gamma World d20 all to the Hero System. I have collected Hero's System off and on from back to Champions v2. Now that my three games can all use one system, I am extremely happy and will begin the massive rebuild/rework/conversions process. Thus I need to have everything I can get in my resource library to help my cause and serve as a reference point for me. Penn

Re: Fantasy Hero Hardcover Hey is there any update on "When" the HC Fantasy Hero will be up for sale? Penn

Re: Silly Star Hero game idea: Star Mice Space Herpies....Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Re: Working on my Home Grown Campaign: Fantasy Hero game Also note that in D&D terms they were a 3+3HD creature thus 6-27 Hit Points at first level and had levels like PCs do and each level they gained a d8+1 in HPs. I understand that might not be understood by Non-D&D players but the rest that have played will get my meaning. Also there birth spell like power was like a first level spell that gained in power as they gained levels over time. Penn

Hello everyone, Ok recap, I am taking a 25+ yr D&D campaign and converting it from D&D v3.5 to Fantasy Hero v5. So I am trying to work on races currently, and would like to ask for some help from the collective here. In my campaign "Elves" are a Non-Player race and I consider them to be Fae. They are different than standard Elves of D&D so they really exist both in Farie Realm and the mudane Realm too. So to replace Elves, I created another race called "Truff'Tierri". They are the first race that was Mortal and had a Soul, that actually worshiped a God. They perfer to live in deep forests or high mountains away from humans and other humanoids. Physically speaking they are slightly taller than the average human (male or female) and are very strong and hardy a race. They also have like a 200 yr lifespan and have a low birthrate, thus there are not alot of them. Despite all that they excell at warfare and fighting and they all seem to have some minor magical talents that seem to varry from each one. Now I have found some figures by "Dark Age" figures that fit my idea for the race perfectly and here are some .jpg's for some of them. I will be using the weapon types as seen in these pics and tailer/rework this race to fit the feel and character of the figures/pics: Male Truff'Tierri: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Greatswordsmen.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Doublebladesmen.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Crossbowmen.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Greataxemen.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Doubleswordsmen.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Shieldswordsmen.jpg Female Truff'Tierri: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Bladetempestmaiden.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Doublebladesmaiden.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Doublebladesmaiden2.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Fandancermaiden.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Ringblademaiden.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Sworddancermaiden.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/pennshome723/Trufftierri_Wailingwhipmaiden.jpg Thus my design style is based on looking at a picture first and then tailor the design to fit the picture and then warp the design to fit the game play idea concept for the creature/being. So what i am looking for is some ideas of how to build these beings/race so I can get a feel how best to convert or build the rest of my unique races that I have in my own home grown fantasy campaign. I beg your assistance in this matter for a starting conversion project so I can get a better understanding and plus one! Penn

Re: My mostly hard sci-fi campaign Hey if you like, have a look at the ships from Babylon 5 A Call to Arms: http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=553 There are alot of cool gaming minatures there! Penn

Re: My mostly hard sci-fi campaign You know I always liked the show called Earth II. It had great potential for a campaign if say the Colony ship was sent by a company and actually landed safe and sound. Set up shop and the player PCs were a scouting team searching the planet and surrounding solar system. Penn

Re: 6th Edition Hero System As with all things, time brings changes. I for one leaving D&Dv3.5 for Hero's v5...main reason is I refuse to buy another version of D&D v4. With Fantasy Hero, I can convert my D&D campaign over. Also add in Traveller/Star Hero, I can convert my Traveller campaign too. I hope and pray that the Hero System doesn't come up with a Hero v6, and then makes it so all earlier systems books are useless. If that were to happen, I might just quit gaming! Penn

Re: My mostly hard sci-fi campaign Awesome job so far TKDGUY... I had a thought for Mars, you could have them working on trying to terra-form Mars collectively. You might work out a number of things that each colony is doing to help the process along. I like to think that the water on Mars is frozen or deep in the planet in caverns and etc. Maybe they are able to add to the atmospher and get more water in the air and increase the planets temperature. Maybe they were able to alter some type of plant that they have seeded on the Mar's surface that has managed to survive and begin to spread. Penn

Re: [Campaign Design] Starting Small... Look the best way to make everyone happy is be upfront and honest with your players and tell them what you are planning in the scope of the campaign. If someone doesn't want to play then for yourself and the willing players cut them free and get another player to fill the gap if you need one. Penn

Re: Battlestar Galactica Hero My only problem with the BG game is that they want to put out materials based off the show. Well season 1 was ok, and 1.5 was ok too, the rest was far to Soap based for my taste. Plus the shows last season is this next season. Also the company is supposed to put out 6 products for the line. If they do put all 6 out, my guess is there will not be anymore than that. Penn

Re: Battlestar Galactica Hero It would be cool to convert Battlestar Galatica into the Traveller Hero system! Penn

Hello everyone, Ok the core rule book for Battlestar Galactica is out and for sale here: http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=34228 Now I like the new show but I will say that there is far to much Soap (style stuff) and not enough true SciFi for my taste. I also liked the Old Show and don't care for some of the changes that the new Show made like the Cylons and various characters and etc. Oh well as a GM I can change the campaign to meet my own feelings and desirers. Now I did for a while run a Traveller system (d20) Batllestar Galactica based campaign in my own version of their space. In my own home grown campaign, my players were members of the 102 Battle Group. It consisted of the Battlestar Oracle, Heavy Cruiser Promethious, the Cruiser Minatour, (2) Destroyers, (2) Armed Troop Transports, (10) Armed Cargo Transports, (1) Fueler, and (1) Mini Repairer. These ships made up a resupply battlegroup, and they did not have the upgraded software yet so they were 100% effective against the Cylons. They also did not have any Cylons in their BG 102 either. So after the attack, they started to pickup civillians and other rescue some of the other Colonial Fleet support vessels and started going to different battle areas and rescued stranded Viper pilots and their Vipers, plus anyone else they could find. Now they were able to fight off any Cylon attack, and were able to rescue a few virus infected vessels. Now they know that the Battlestar Galactica survived, and tried to hook up with them at their mobilization point but arrive to late to connect but intime to save many of the civilian fleet. The managed to collect a few more Jump capable civilian vessels, and manged to drag out of moth balls another (12) Armed Troop Transports, and (16) more Armed Cargo transports and staffed them with many of the civilian crews and rescued Colonial Fleet personel. Furthermore they found the small civilian fleet that was stripped by Cain and the Battlestar Pegasus too and merged them into their fleet as well too. Thus after a while this new RTF jumped out of Colonail Space and went off in their own direction(not in the direction of Earth) to find a new beginning elsewhere in space. The campaign lasted for slightly less than two years , and the players made up a Scouting team aboard a Colonial Scout that had a (55) crew, that was assigned to scouting duty. At the end of the campaign the players were incharge of the vessel, and had located a planet that a race that was in space but did not have Jump tech yet. The players were working out a deal for them giving them the tech for Jump and weapons and stystems, the Aliens would service, and resupply the Colonials so they could continue on to find another world to settle Penn

Re: Stats for Dad LOL... hey at the least Awesome vid and very well done, my hats off to you! As to stats well, Superman is to much so something slightly less than that! Penn

Re: New Guy On Board Awesome artwork on your web pages, now it is great to meet a artist with a flare for SciFi/Fantasy work! Penn

Re: Star Hero/Traveller Hero star map request: Both of you, thank you so very much!!! Penn

Hello everyone, I got my copy of PAH yesturday and read it from cover to cover:thumbup:!!! Now I am awaiting the arrivial of Book One and Two of Traveller Hero next:D. So I have decided to combine my idea of PAH (Gamma World) and Traveller/Star Hero together. I need to ask for a realistic resource of star located around the Sol (Earth system). I am looking for real systems locations star charts. Does anyone have good reference to point to for me. I can not find my stuff for Traveller 2300 for some reason. Requesting help my friends: My campaign idea is the following: Players will be created as 100/ +100 dis's from a Star/Traveller Hero. The PCs will not have access to FTL/Jump drives but rather will have embarked on a Cryo Sleeper explorer to a nearby solar system. While in flight they were awakened as the ship suffered some damage, AND that meant that the trip was going to take alot longer to reach their destination system than was planned. It was decided to continue on to their destination system instead of heading back home. Now while their long sleep happened mankind discovered "Fold Engines" and that made travel between solar systems extremely fast. So by the time the PC's reach their destination system, mankind has already bin there for years and set up a colony in the system BUT PAH had happened and so starts the campaign. Penn

Re: Traveller Hero... What's Next? How about a Metamorphosis Alpha PAH setting in Traveller Hero? Penn

Re: New to Fantasy Hero Hi there, Ok I have all the books and know the Hero's systems "ok" but I have to convert my D&D campaign over to the Fantasy Hero's system Now the books you might want are: - Hero System: Fantasy Hero (this is the main book and you want the HC version of it when it comes out shortly) Some good resource for FH books are: - FH - Nobles, Knights & Necromancer - HS - Enchanted Items - HS - Fantasy Hero Battlegrounds - HS - Fantasy Hero Grimoire - HS - Monsters, Minion, Marauders Also some examples of Fantasy Hero settings: - HS - FH The Valdorian Age - HS - FH The Turakian Age - HS - Tuala Morn Also when it comes out here soon: - FH - The Celtic Bestary I should also point out there are two other books set in the Asian setting that I don't want but they are: FH - Asian Bestary I& II Also some othere good Hero books to have might be: - HS - 5th Edition Revised HC - HS - Combat Handbook - HS - Besiary For more magic resource books I might point too these: - HS - The Ultimate Mystic - HS - Arcane Adversaries - HS - Champions Demon Servants of Darkness - HS - The Mystic World Plus many other Hero System (HS) books can add something to the game mechanics for you that you can include somewhere along the way for the mechanics. The rest is just story telling and writing on your part to create a campaign for your players to play in. There are many online resources as well too... I will be using them myself as I too go through the design and redesign process to recreate my campaign using the Hero System. Penn

Re: Star Hero:? Steve, I am only speaking as a player that has bought the first version of Star Hero (1st printing) and has rebought everything that is out in print for SH, plus as a GM whom has played Traveller for years and now converting my own campaign to Traveller Hero/Star Hero based with my own home grown setting to use. Thus speaking for myself only then, I would buy anything else that comes out for SH. I hope with TH now out there, that it will help spur more support for each other. Also after reading your post, it is my view of your comments that Star Hero is being left out on the vine to see if it withers and falls off or somehow though "magic" sprouts and grows some more. I am sorry if I sound kinda of negative, but it looks like Star hero is on it's way out to me then. I hate to see good ideas die is all. Penn

Re: [Review] Post-Apocalyptic Hero Sounds like a keeper to me, can't wait till it arrives in the mail for me!!! Penn

Re: Who's run The Savage Earth? Sorry guys, I meant "creator" NOT "creature"!!! I corrected/edit my post, I'm bad someone hit me with a FISH...LOL!!! That's what you get when your doing multiple things at work, that are not for work! Penn

Re: Who's run The Savage Earth? Hello there, I went to the web site and poked around and read a few spot things...it is a pretty good read for a campaign setting. Get the creator to submit it to Hero's and try to get it published as a campaign setting for PAH, it would be a great place to GM and play within. Penn

Re: Yet Another PA Campaign Idea Could you say there were massive solar flar activity from our sun and the Earth was hit by these waves that acted like EMP pulses and knocked out all electrical equipment. Plus over the next couple months the Earth kept being hit by these solar pulses and almost all electrical hardware was fused and destroyed. You could also state that these solar pulses also brought a strange radiation that cause many people to get sick and coupled with a loss of all or electrical tools and the radiation that many people died. Those that survived were the stronger folks and some were changed at the gene level. Then as time moved on the new children born to man, most were normal but sum were mutants. Penn
