Thanks for the info. I shall pass on it as I don't know a thing about Minion Wars and I play on my own independent setting anyway. Sounds cool, though.

Matt

What is "Heroes of the Megaverse"? A book for HU? Never heard of it!

Matt

What on earth is a "juicer"? I don't play any Palladium except HU and N&SS.

Matt

Springfield...almost as common as Greenville!

Lately I'm using the city of Seaboard as my new game setting was inspired by the Atlas Comics line that lasted from '74-'75.

Matt

Do martial arts and chi tricks from Ninjas & Superspies count as powers? I treat them as powers for my purposes in super hero games.

Matt

I think someone already said it up above, but not aging and time stopping are two different things. Not aging simply means the deleterious effects of time are negated: the weapon isn't going to decompose or fall apart over the eons the way everything else does; it's spared the ravages of time--this ...

Matt

I'd buy this book as long as it was proofread and edited ("whole" where it should be "hole"). Reminds me of that "The Law is a Ass" column about legal errors in super hero comics, especially the farce known as "The Trial of the Flash."

Matt

How silly.

Matt

Does anyone know where one might find HU write-ups for super heroes from comic books? For instance, how someone wrote up Spider-Man or Black Panther. Mainly I'd like to see it to get an idea of what others feel would reflect their agility, acrobatic/gymnastic abilities, etc., so I have a comparison/...

Matt

OK, so I am not a lawyer. With the photo evidence, what about those traffic cameras or video surveillance obtained from local surveillance cameras? There is no "photographer" to be questioned. At least here in Southern California those red-light cameras are thrown out as evidence all the ...

Matt

Love that Crimson Fist story.

Matt

Thanks for the useful references. Sounds like what I need.

Starting to appreciate HU after years of overlooking it. Really enjoy the combat system as it makes opponents feel like their choices matter (as opposed to games where the attacker's roll decides everything).

Matt

Sounds like it was a fun game. Gotta love a villain who sends you nude photos of himself.

Matt

Muchas gracias.

Matt

A bunch of powers can do this, but really anything with an electrical attack can be conducted via contact. Energy expulsion, Electricity, APS Electricity, Control Static electricity, ect. All you need is an available attack and the will to zap someone. Thanks. Anything I would need to make sure it ...

Matt

If a hero can generate an electric shock to someone trying to grab him, in the fashion of an electric eel, what power would that be?

Matt

I meant these tables, not other tables published in Rifter.

Matt

Is there anywhere all those tables are in one place?

This would be fantastic.

Matt

I first played Recon in 1989 when I was in the Army. We used to play it during our deployments during our down time. I hate that Palladium isn't planning on supporting the title any longer. I just inquired as to if they would be willing to sell the rights to Recon to me. If I can get it I am going ...

Matt

You know what book is really missing for HU... The World book! We have one stinking city, we have one stinking prison.... what about the bigger world??? Make the world book man! Rifts gives a whole world and several hints to dimension and rifts and more... HU needs a world book - Get on it already....

Matt

Personally I dislike the "you already know each other" only a little less than I detest "you all work for th government" stuff. Other than responding to the same crime, I have two other methods: (1) responding separately to different crimes that turn out to be part of a single, l...

Matt

I remember in '92 ( god I'm old ) walking into my local comic shop and seeing a Tmnaos sitting on the shelf next to a rifts main book, a robotech, and the GM screen . I bought the tmnt and rifts books in the same week .... Two weeks later transdimentional showed up with mutants down under.... I was...

Matt

Is there a thread or forum for actual play write-ups/reports? I'd be interested in reading about ongoing adventures and campaigns of others, and hope to inaugurate my own Heroes Unlimited game soon and would post a play-by-play if anyone else is interested. I'm still digesting the rules but it seems...

Matt

Fat makes people fatter in my experience. Admittedly, I have no science to back me up; it's just an observation made from multiple trips to Walmart. Still haven't seen any skinny fat people.

Matt

Best of all, you can legally download for free almost every adventure module for TSR's Marvel Super Heroes game at Classic Marvel Forever. I have adapted a few for use in my games.

Matt

The combat rules are, to me, part of the attraction. Giving the defender an opportunity to parry/dodge/entangle feels more like a real fight than games where the attacker just rolls vs. a target number. I'm also enjoying the idiosyncracies of Palladium. The kinks that haven't been ironed out and the...

Matt

I wouldn't allow it but simply on grounds of taste and power level as it doesn't fit the type of super hero games I enjoy.

What the heck is a "skinny muscular build"? Kinda hard to be both muscular and skinny at the same time, isn't it?

Matt

I'd fix a lot of those typos and give more detail on the mechanics. Unless it's a problem unique to my copy, I'd also note that there is no explanation of how to parry in the section on combat steps. That was a huge problem for me.

Matt

Your first post is similar to my experience... found some used cheap copies of Palladium games in good condition...I think for about $35 I got Heroes Unlimited, Powers Unlimited 1-3, HU GM Guide, Ninjas & Superspies, Mystic China, and Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles! However, I have never played a ...

Matt

glad I could help! One thing though -- careful about implementing combat rules from Ninjas & Superspies. They aren't the same as the other systems. In RIFTS and Heroes they follow a similar flow but N&SS has a very quirky flow to combat if you're not used to it or jumping back and forth bet...

Matt

I think I found why I was confused. In Heroes Unlimited (at least in my copy) where Step 3 says a defender can attempt to parry, dodge, or entangle, IT NEVER SAYS HOW! Luckily I had your example and I found the missing information in Ninjas & Superspies. One of the advantages of all the Palladiu...

Matt

Thank you...I'll be reading that over with the rules in hand. I think I understand better.

Matt

Seen the first two SHIELDs...not very inspired writing...I'll watch one more before I decide whether to stop recording it. Honestly, SHIELD was my least favorite part of all the Marvel movies aside from seeing how snazzy Cobie Smulders looked in uniform. Never even seen the original Robocop, so it d...

Matt

I'm new to Palladium games. I happened upon some inexpensive used copies of Heroes Unlimited, 3 Powers Unlimited books, Teenage Turtle Ninja Mutants, Ninjas and Superspies, and a book called Mystic China. I really like the idea of super hero and martial arts roleplaying but I get very turned around ...
