Reading Post-Apocalyptic Hero has motivated me to finally work on converting things from the other post-apocalypse RPGs I have. I was going to start with 1st Edition Gamma World mutations but most of them are just talents and regular powers in Hero. For example, Directional Sense is Bump of Direction and Infravision is Infravision. Plus, Steve covered a lot of the others in PAH. That doesn't leave much to convert and the rest would just be listing what talent or power to use and page numbers for certain mutations in PAH. So I skipped to The World of Tank Girl. I know, I know, the movie was terrible. But I liked it anyway because I'm a post-apocalypse junkie. Which is why I bought the game. [i was going to make some comments on the system and how I converted things but I actually finished a few conversions and got so excited that I decided to post right away.] Toward the beginning of the book are NPC templates and toward the back are sample characters. I'll be posting a few at a time as I finish them but here's the complete list of what I'm working on: Cultist, Cult Leader (My modification of the Cultist.), Wasteland Mutant, Wasteland Raider/Slaver/Bandit, Punk Rocker, Pizza Delivery Boy, Slightly Cracked Inventor, Biker, Government Scientist, Waste Trader, Soldier Of Fortune, Ace Mechanic, and Independent Truck Driver.

Re: [Pulp] Suggested Reads Lord Liaden beat me to posting the link to The Pulp.net but I figured I'd post my favorite site of those I've found through that one: http://ageofaces.home.att.net/index.htm Click on the Age of Aces icon and you'll find a ton of WWI aerial adventures. By the way, I'll take a look at my pulp collection and post a list of names later.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Mmm, fishnets. Too bad I already repped you for one of the other Pariahs.

Re: Character Concepts and Appearance, what gets your juices flowing? Sometimes I start with one of my favorite genres and tailor a character to fit but most of my characters start out as jokes that I eventually get more ideas for and write up. Captain Crustacean was a joke answer to someone asking for a superhero name. Red Rover was a joke name for a masked pulp hero. Casey Gwynn - the barbed wire baseball bat toting alcoholic ex-baseball player - was a joke for a zombie apocalypse. Whether a character I build was based on my sense of humor or not, the ideas that I get come to me out of the blue. Although after creating some of them, I realize they bare resemblances to other popular characters. I must be subconciously channeling them into my own creations, meaning my imagination isn't as original as I thought. But as Solomon said, "There's nothing new under the sun." So while I don't set out to imitate other characters, I don't feel so bad when I do.

Re: Naming the baby I've done way too much work on 5th Edition Porn Hero to switch to 6th. No matter how appropriate the SexEd nickname is for it.
