Re: Traveller Hero

Re: Traveller Hero
I'm hoping to have mine by Wednesday....an offhanded post on Facebook got several players in the DnD game I'm in asking "when's the game start?" So, time to dust of GMing skills.
Got mine yesterday! Had hoped to devour Book 1 after the kids went to bed, but shortly after that, a plumbing issue became something of an emergency, so I haven't even made it through the Races section yet.So far, extremely impressed! Nice, clean layout, and the brief sketches on races are enough to let those unfamiliar with them to make characters and get started. Even better, each and every entry features a direct reference to sources for more detail on the particular race, etc.
On the downside, I'm going to have to break down and buy Dark Champions just so I can read the stuff on page 150, because it comes up a _lot_!
Excellent job, guys!
Really looking forward to reading the rest, but I've got to devote the rest of the weekend to kids and classwork, so I won't be blistering through it at quite the pace I had hoped.

Re: What Genre book Reprint are you most anticipating?
I'd have to say Fantasy Hero. I can't imagine there'd be much difference from the 5th Edition version, but I have this Psych Lim: Completist (I own all previous editions of FH, so not getting the 6e version just doesn't seem likely). Champions would be a close second (for the same reason).

Re: PRE and EGO
So...just to throw this one out there - would people like to see a 'spirit' characteristic block' date=' separate from PRE/INT/EGO? It would probably also entail having OSCV and DSCV characteristics, and would be used for more 'mystical/spiritual' types of combat, stuff, like magic and miracles.[/quote']I'd like to see it. I'm working on my In Nomine conversion to Hero, and some things would just work better if there were a spirit characteristic block.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive
Has anyone seen them in local game stores? I might make a trip to mine this weekend to check. I am on their call list for when they arrive, but since I've just started frequenting this particular store, I'm not sure how good they are on follow up calls.

Re: Browncoat Mal Reynolds on Castle
I was howling while watching this with my wife last night.I just watched it last night (love my DVR!), and also had a good laugh at that sequence!

Re: 6ths are out of Customs and on way to warehouse!
Cool! So in a couple weeks my FLGS will be calling me saying they've got them in!

Re: Tremorsense
For my conversion of the bulette, I used "Class of Things," so my understanding of that may be wrong. And I forgot to add Range 'cause I spaced and thought simulated sense group (Touch) gave that to you automatically. Other than those two things, our builds are vary similar.
Edit: and I apparently can't read....I do have Range on my build, so our only difference is what class of things it's detectng.
Hello,I'm currently converting a D20 module for a Fantasy Nina hero game (5th ed. r). Well the ghouls have a power called Tremorsense. Basically it allows the monsters to sense anything moving with in 60 ft of them. So since this is the first time I bought an enhanced sense that wasn't prebuilt, I want to double check my work.
Tremorsense: Detect (vibrations on earth) Simulated sense group (touch) Detect limited things (5 pts) Targeting Sense (10 pts) Range (5 pts) 360 deg. (5 pts) Act cost 25 pts.
So does this look right ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Browncoat Mal Reynolds on Castle
Woho!What is Castle?
A novelist, Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), teams up with the NYPD as research for his next series of novels...and solve murders along the way. ABC Monday nights.

Re: Traveller Hero
I'm interested in getting this!
ok folks, how much actual interest is there in printed copies of Traveller Hero, if I can make them available at cover price+shipping at worst. I dont know for sure how many copies I can make available but it will be a limited quantity.a couple of folks have also talked about losing their Com-Star downloaded pdfs, I am at least trying to see if there is a way of fixing that issue, if DTRPG can do this, it should give justification for legit replacements, might involve being able to verify the original purchase, but I am working on that at least

Re: Official Hero Boards Super Team And Chat Channel!
Just started playing last night (I took a break after beta) My only character so far is Gospel Singer@culhwch I even got the costume very close to what it was designed as back when I played the character actively in a Champions game.

Re: How to: Spatial Compression technology
I'm fairly sure this is how the "Time Travel Capsule" was written up in the Ultimate Vehicle for 5th edition.That is the Ultimate Vehicle does it. Although Hero Designer complains about it when I open the HD file for the Time Travel Capsule for UV, so maybe not strictly legal?

Re: Poll: What do you play
Currently nothing. I will be in a DnD 3.5 game as soon as the GM has his world ready to play in. I'm hoping once that game gets going and I get to know the other players well (I only know the GM and 1 player at the moment), to get them intested in something HERO in the down times of the DnD game.

Re: First role playing memory
A friend purchased the D&D boxed set, and a few of us got together one Saturday afternoon. After rolling up our characters (I don't remember what I was), we went to the shop in the Keep to outfit ourselves. The guy who rolled up the Thief ran out of cash for everything he wanted, so he tried out his thieving ablilities. Needless to say, he failed miserably, and the guards killed us all as we tried to escape! Everyone was much more cautious of everyone else with the next set of characters.

Re: Sword Oriented Martial Art
I think the sword martial art in Fantasy Hero bought the clubs weapon element to simulate using the pommel as a weapon.

Re: closed beta applications
I've also signed up. Keeping my fingers crossed, but with the low number of hours I spend gaming (I answered 1-5 hours on that question), I'll be surprised if I do get in.
