Re: My first Terran Empire Campaign idea... That didn't even cross my mind, but hmmmmmm........

Re: My first Terran Empire Campaign idea... I want to thank you all for your input. This has given me a lot of things to think on.

Re: My first Terran Empire Campaign idea... I want to thank you guys for the input. This has given me some things to think about. Take care.

Re: My first Terran Empire Campaign idea... I was thinking about that. Mr. X could be financing this on his own or gone rogue since it his daughter. As far as Imperial records are concerned, the player's no longer exist and will not be hunted. Mr. X just wants his daughter back , if the players are sucessful, they will no longer hear from Mr. X again , but can use him as a contact. Again I have a lot of details to work out.

Sorry if this post is long.... This morning I hae been thiking for some reason about how to start my first Terran Empire Campaign. I have a brief outline and wanted to get some feedback on. It will start with the characters execution. They are all convicted criminals, some may have een framed, others in the wrong place at the wrong time, and others still may be actual bad guys. They are brought into a room and strapped to the electric chairs. At the moment of truth , the lights flash , people scream, and the room goes dark. After a few moments the lights come back on and standing in front of them is a man dressed in a military uniform. ( I will call this guy Mr. X for now ) Mr. X informs the PC's "You're all dead, welcome to the afterlife." He goes on to explain based on their skills they are the right people for a job he needs done. Six months ago the military lost contact with one of their research facilities located on a planet. ( I am still learning the Terran Empire setting and will flesh out stuff later. ) When the first rescue teams arrived, they found the planet devastated, no suvivors. The Higher ups declared a quaritine of the planet, noone is to land. Warning becaons have been placed in orbit to warn off anyone who comes close. They Empire also has setup a regular patrol of the system to catch any scanvengers, pirates, etc. Mr. X informs them that three weeks ago his people received a distress signal coming from the science facility on that planet. His requests for a rescue mission have been denied. Mr. X explains he needs a team that is off the grid so to speak and the PC's are it. He assures them they will be compensated for this mission. Also if any PC's refuse then thier original sentence will be carried out. Once the group accepts, Mr. X explains he can get the group on the planet unnoticed. He has the schedule of the patrols and other details. Once in orbit the PC's will take a shuttle down and land at the city. They will get a reading of the distress signal. What the PC's are going to find is that the planet is infested with zombies. The PC's will located the survivors, fight through a zombie infested city, they will locate a merchant ship they can use to get all the survivors off planet andas a bonus they can keep the ship for further adventures. The leader of the survivors will be the daughter of Mr. X. I know this is just a start and I have some work cut out for me getting more details, but this is what I came up with lying in bed this morning. Thanks.

Re: Dilema... and the wife is happy, she let me get a few books. HERO System Combat Book Post Apocalyptic HERO Champions and Fantasy HERO PDF's on cd. Now I think I can have fun.

Re: Dilema... Wooohoooo. Consider my luck good. I start working 2/25. Yeah me.

Re: Dilema... yeah it is a bit stressful. Anyhoo I am actually out the door to an interview. woohooo

Re: Dilema... Ah ha!!! I am not just any loser!!!!!!!

Re: Dilema... I know work first, hopefully I will have good news by the end of next week. I am content with what I have now. I am still learning the rules and thinking of a Star Hero campaign I would like to try. The time off has been a blessing, more bonding time with my three girls.

Ok, what to do today? Look for a job or learn more on the rule system, working on campaign ideas? hmmmmm...

Re: Hello... I wasn't happy either, but on a good note, my boss was let go hours before I was.

Re: Hello... Sorry to hear that Thia. I was laid off back in September and still looking, so I had to dip into the kids college fund to bye the goodies.....

Re: Hello... Thank you.

Re: Hello... Actually way ahead of you on that. I picked that up and the Star Hero and Terran Empire character packs. It has helped out, once I figured out how to use the program. Thanks.

Re: Hello... One thing I have noticed as I read more of the rules, is its flexibility. So much so as it may require me to bring the third brain cell online.

Re: Hello... Lol - You guys are nuts. I know I am in the right place.

Re: Hello... Thanks one and all. It may take some time while I learn the system, raise three girls, not piss off the wife , which reminds me it took 10 years to get her to play d&d, she actually likes it, how am I going to break her in on this, hmmmmmmmm.

My name is Gary and I just wanted to say hello to the community and introduce myself. A few weeks ago I was getting board playing in my current system and was looking for something new and different. I picked up the 5E revised book and Star Hero. I remember playing champions when it first came out and that it was fun. Well a week later I picked up Terran Empire and Worlds of Empire. I have been real impressed. I am still in the process of learning the rules, but I think I have the basics down. I am gathering ideas to start a Star Hero campaign, but that is going to take a little time. I have reading these boards for a couple weeks now and see a lot of great ideas and helpful people. I hope to be able to give back as I learn myself. I look forward getting to know everyone. Happy gaming...
