  1. Royal Navy Hero

    Re: Royal Navy Hero

     

    This would definitely include Shelley Chrystal "PRIMUS" Mactyre's Regency HERO sourcebook project. She's been working on this for a long time, and from all reports by management it looks like it will be published by Hero Games at some unspecified future date.

     

    In the meantime, you can see a few samples of what Shelley has been working on on her website: http://www.mactyre.net/archives/regency/ .

     

    I'd also like to go on the record as saying that the Royal Navy aspect of the project is my favorite part! :)

    Naturally.

     

    Though I do hope now with Napoleon gone we won't be reduced to fighting, ugh, "AMERICANS"!? Thank God I didn't have to serve against them, who has time to deal with uppity gnats?

     

    Where did you serve? I was in the North Atlantic and Indian Ocean.

     

    Now I know how to get to your character -- Americans! :)

  8. PRIMUS source book?

    Re: PRIMUS source book?

     

    If you plan to use it' date=' you should probably surf her site for ideas; it's obviously something she keeps coming back to, since there's just a ton of useful doodads in there...

     

    AlHazred has my number -- I so heart PRIMUS. I mean, when we got our spiffy Okidata color LED printer, the first thing I did was print out the Golden Avenger Keith Curtis drew for me!

    PS: thanks for all the encouraging words, guys! I'm plugging away on Regency HERO (and that pesky law thing - one more semester left!) right now and can't wait 'til the time comes to work on PRIMUS. :)

    PPS - and let me add' date=' it was pretty funny for the whole group as her character pulled my character down the main street by his ear to the church...[/quote']

     

    OMG -- I'd completely forgotten that incident! That was one of my favorite moments in the game. :)

    I'm enjoying what I've read! Do keep posting. :)

     

    To respond to your question, I think it really depends on the overall power level of the villains, as well as the turn you want the game to take. If it's more combat oriented, more assault agents; if it's more investigative (as your game seems to be), then more intelligence agents. The way I designed both investigative and assault agents is that neither character type would be bored in game -- investigative agents have some combat skills, assault agents have some investigative skills.

    Shelley thanks for your comment, I would like to take this chance to compliment you on your Regency site. And if I had made her the wife of an Earl, I would of used your status chart, but I came up with the Courtsey title to refect that fact that daughters and any sons of the after the first, while of the proper lineage were considered legally as commoners and generally were given the title as courtsey:)

    G -

     

    Thank you! You made my morning. Now that the second year of law school is nearly behind me (yeah! One more paper!) I'm settling down to work on RH before the last year starts in August.

     

    Actually -- technically -- everyone but the titled lord himself was a commoner. Even the son-and-heir was until he ascended to the title!

    By the way, Shelly, we both have been to your site, especially since doing a lot with PRIMUS in our games... I love all the background you have on the SA and the GA... very cool. Of course, we have made a few changes, but then, who doesn't? I just thought I'd add, since few people have complimented you in this, that I AM hoping to see the awesome backgrounds for the SA that are on your site. You have done a great job so far!

     

    Oh, you sweet thing, you! You made my evening. :)

     

    And when PRIMUS ultimately comes down the pike, everyone will be hearing about it; I love suggestions.

    I'd agree with the gadget pool except that it'd need a fairly high pool size. Not so much to pay for the gadgets' date=' but to allow sufficient active point limitations. I'd need to see what kind of tech PRIMUS has available; if there is lots of stuff of the "Many ads/many disads" type, a gadget pool might not be viable.[/quote']

     

    In PRIMUS -- and for Agent level games -- I swear by brownie points. (In the very cool PRIMUS ebook and a few places mentioned on the website.) It's also not a bad way to work things when the Avengers/agents are NPCs; easy for the GM to pick and choose what equipment to have on hand.

    It sounds like one of the resources you're looking for could be The Master List of Limitations. Maintained on the website of the Global Guardians PBEM' date=' this is an extensive compilation of fan-generated custom Psychological, Physical and Social Limitations to spice up your character Disadvantages. Great source of roleplaying ideas. :)[/quote']

     

    Lord Liaden to the rescue! That's the one I was thinking of.

    Oh, you know. Real life and stuff. Actually, my first job out of college was as a webmaster, and I never wanted to work on webpages when I got home. After I quit and did other things, I finally started updating again.

     

    And frankly, I got really sick of everyone telling me I wasn't doing the links the way they wanted me to. "You should organize by category." "You should give descriptions." "You should rank the sites." What do I look like, Yahoo!? Anyway, I figured they could maintain their own *!^& links if they so desired. :nya:

    Which is why I thought there'd be a Golden Avenger for every Federal District Court (http://www.law.emory.edu/FEDCTS/), and anywhere with a "major" presense should have more than one (New York would have at least one more, as well as Washington DC, Millenium City, Los Angeles, etc, etc). It should be an indication of "how bad things get" when you see more than one Golden Avenger handling a problem.

     

    Silver Avengers are the local guys (although I chuckle at distributing them along federal courts -- I can just see Silver Avengers PO'ed that they're stuck watching oral arguments); there's only one GA. There isn't a major power difference, esp. when you factor in equipment.

    If these guys could take the megavilains and theres alot of them 100+ then they would kinda outshine PCs.

     

    Yep -- and that's a great way to make the PCs hate PRIMUS, fast. But I don't think there should be more than around 15 or so. For one thing, it would be too expensive; for another, there needs to be a novelty factor.
