Enlightened Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I mean I know that it was the Traveller setting in the Hero system, but was it just a direct conversion of the book? If so, which version of Traveller? Was anything new added? Anything taken out? I know I may never find a copy but I would still like to hear more about it.

shadowcat1313 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Traveller Hero was mostly a conversion of Classic Traveller, with some elments of Megatraveller and New Era thrown in. we really didnt add anything new or take much out that I remember, although characters dying during creation is now optional , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowcat1313 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? hmm.. it was posted at starherofandom for a quite a while, so you might try archive.org it was also posted at freelancetraveller at one point, but it was lost in a system crash there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlightened Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? I had been checking Amazon ever so often to see if they had this, and when I looked this morning...THEY DID. They had one copy of books one and two it seems! I of course promptly ordered both. I just hope I don't get a "Sorry. We were only foolin'. We don't actually have it." email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlHazred Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Sadly, the last time I ordered the books on Amazon, they eventually sent me my money back with a "sorry, our seller didn't actually have any" message. Grumble, grumble.

Sadly' date=' the last time I ordered the books on Amazon, they eventually sent me my money back with a "sorry, our seller didn't actually have any" message. Grumble, grumble.[/quote'] I'm beginning to get worried. It's been a week since I ordered them and the Amazon site still shows that they haven't shipped yet.

JmOz Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? I just wish there was a way to get the .pdf's of the products... or at least a total list of what I missed and the format they were in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlightened Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Update: I just got the "Your books have shipped" email from Amazon and a "Sorry it took so long" email from the seller! :D /joy joy/ The books still have an ocean to cross though, and anything could happen.

Charakan Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Trust me Enlightened, if your a Traveller and Hero fan you won't be dissapointed, I've played every version of Traveller and the Hero one is my favourite, I just wish I'd bought PDFs of the other Traveller Hero products apart from the two main books, I hadn't sat down and read the 5th edition rulebook, only skimmed and it looked to crunchy for my tastes, after sitting down and working my way through 5th ed I realised it was a simple, logical system that could build anything. I still buy the Mongoose stuff and have run it and had fun, but Hero suits my style of game better. I think its the only version apart from classic thats not full of errata as well.

shadowcat1313 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? I still have a copy of the free pdf, but I dont think I can give it out anymore, I can ask the powers that be, but I make no guarantees...

RexMundi Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Heh, that would be one PDF copy of a game I would strive to get ahold of. The rest of the entirety of the PDF gaming universe......meh....But for Travelller HERO I would make an exception. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Billy Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? I would just like to get the 8 Hero converted Extras and I think 6 addons. I only got the main two books and the two setting books (in hardcopy and PDF) but I waited too long to pick up the other pdf stuff and I missed my chance when I was in Iraq. I wish you guys had put out a few more announcements about the license imminently expiring, I might have been able to act sooner. TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlightened Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Book update: It's been three weeks since the date the company (through Amazon) claimed to have shipped the books but they still haven't arrived. However, they have given themselves a two month window. They say the books will be here sometime before August 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
