Thanks all. Great ideas. I can't wait to take a look at your suggestions.

Hi everyone. I'm thinking of starting an episodic Fantasy Hero game where the players are part of an elite force for the government doing a variety of things such as courier, scouting, leading battles, special ops missions. What countries in the Turakian setting would you suggest this to be based in? Thanks.

Re: Arabian Knights I was going to suggest the Sha'ir's Handbook as well. I am a huge fan of Al-Qadim. I have all the TSR products and have often thought about converting it into HERO mechanics. The Clockwork Mage and Ghul Lord are two of my favorites.

Re: Has anyone here ported a Spycraft organization to HERO? I'm working on a variation of the Archer Foundation for my Champions game. It won't be a direct port but I am pulling lots of points from it to my organization.

Re: Wand of wonder like power Thanks everyone. I went with a VPP for the whole bow. I'm still working on the Random Arrow slot but overall it is a much easier way to go.

Hello all. I could use some help. One of my players has a character that is what I am calling a bow mage. She can transform her arrows into spell like effects to fire against her foes or for her allies. In our discussion today he stated he would like an arrow that has a completely random effect like the Wand of Wonder from D&D. The other powers are built into a 60 point MP. Any ideas on how to build this? I have some but I thought I would come to the experts first. Thanks

Re: Storn Idea to full picture Year 7 How about one of my NPC heroes. Chrysalis (Kai Saunders) Powers: The ability to create objects made of a pale blue crystal like substance. Most often she creates a set of armor and sword as she is a accomplished swordswoman. She has also been known to create darts that have a variety of effects and crystal 'tentacles' to hold foes in place. From her father she inherited some regeneration abilities. Background: She is the daughter of one of my former PCs and "Icicle" from rule book. Kai is actually from the future as well. Her age is about 30 where her father is only about 40. Doc, her father, is Maori. Appearance: Kai is a fit woman who the look of a martial artist. Her hair is shoulder length with a slight wave to it. The normal color is a very light blue but she often dies it brown to be less noticeable.Her eyes are a brilliant blue color. The crystal armor has an eastern flair to it, but does not conform to any one style. She can change its appearance as she likes. Her sword is usually in the style of a katana. She as a Maori tattoo that flows up her arms and around her collar bones to her neck. It is not one solid piece covering her whole arms, bur rather a path or a vine. With long sleeve shirts and a regular collar it cannot be seen. In a blouse that has a somewhat lower neckline the top of the tattoo would be visible. It comes to right where a t-shirt color would be.

Re: What happened to San Angelo? I have the original San Angelo book (signed by Patrick Sweeney), Denziens of San Angelo and Enemies of San Angelo in book form, Dragon's Gate in PDF. And then the three PDFs that were posted in the thread. If I am missing any please let me know! And thank you for clarifying what can be posted here. As I start to develop villains and teams I will start posting them here. My biggest chore right now is figuring out what I will keep with minimal changes from the books and what will be updated since 12 years have gone by.

Re: What happened to San Angelo? Thank you QM. That is what I thought but I wanted to check. I am having so much fun getting to run my San Angelo Campaign that I just dream about more source books for this wonderful city. I guess I will have to create them myself for my campaign. What would be the policy of sharing such things here? I mean if I create a number of mystic teams based in San Angelo would I be able to share them here for others to use? Thank you again for your answers and the PDFs. I am going to have a long weekend reading them and plotting my campaign.

Re: What happened to San Angelo? Does anyone know if there has ever been any thought of updating San Angelo to 5/6th edition and the timeline? Reading my original books and the PDFs here makes me really want more for the city. I am doing some updating/changing for my upcoming campaign. In the front of the Arroyo Verde book it mentions Mystics of San Angelo.

Re: What happened to San Angelo? Hi everyone. Just wanted to say I've loved San Angelo since it first came out. I am starting a new Champions game that will be set in San Angelo. Having fun rereading all the books and deciding what will be the main villains and storylines.

Re: Hell's Dawn I have put some thought into the other cities around the world and their status, but not lots yet. London is human controlled. Paris is demon controlled. Berlin is still under siege. Madrid is also under siege. Moscow human controlled. St. Petersburg under siege. Tokyo is human controlled with only a few pockets of demon resistance remaining. Beyond that not much done.

Re: Hell's Dawn Since this 'genre' is semi horror I would like some input from the boards. I want to really emphasize at times how weird some of the demons & their controlled cities are. To me this means a hesitation or pause, at times, as the characters take in the otherworldliness of what they are facing. At other times I hope to have it disgust the characters. This isn't horror in the sense of being scary or tense, but rather horror as a twisted/bizarre reflection of something that does not quite fit into this reality. Something along the lines of a Cthulu sanity roll, but not quite. Any ideas on how I could handle this? Thanks

Re: Hell's Dawn Most network TV and radio is gone since New York and LA are under Demon control. Some network stuff does come out of Atlanta. Both TV and radio are now broadcast at the local level with some reports being nationwide news. There is one radio 'network', DFW, that broadcasts on a satellite station that often seem to have news of the resistance and battles between human and demon forces. They also have updates on the battles that are being waged around the world. The seat of US government has moved to the Twin Cities. The President was killed in the initial assault on DC. The new President has declared a state of Emergency and nationalized much of the nation's resources to help combat the demons. While food in the rurals areas is pretty plentiful it can be scarce sometimes in the larger cities due to gas rationing, black markets and demon attacks on convoys. St. Louis has become known as the Burning City. While the initial rifts were large in each city most have been shut down to smaller, more stable gates between the realms. Except for St. Louis. The Arch has become a permanent gate from their world into this one. The legs of the arch and the area between them are constantly filled with brilliant red and black flames that seem to give off no heat. But if they are touched by anyone but a demon the person is instantly turned into a cinders. The light from the Arch fills most of St. Louis city itself with constantly flickering shadows and light, thus giving the appearance that the city is burning.

Re: Hell's Dawn Hell's Dawn update: I haven't had as much time as I would have liked over the last 2 weeks to work on Hell's Dawn, but I have gotten some things done. Demon controlled cities (where there is little to no direct combat between demon troops and human troops, resistance/underground fighting may still be occuring): New York Washington DC LA Las Vega Seattle/Vancouver Miami St. Louis Detroit/Windsor Demons/Humans still actively vying for control: Chicago Milwaukee Dallas/Fort Worth Denver Boston Phoenix Indianapolis Human controlled (where either the demons did not attack or were defeated) Minneapolis/St. Paul Atlanta Salt Lake City Santa Fe San Francisco This is by no means an exhaustive list, just what I have decided on.
