Site(s)
Index
Here, for those too impatient to follow
the links around the long way is an index for
Mark's Astounding
CyberEmpire O'Doom! with an
annotated description of what's where. It doesn't cover everything by
a long shot, but it will lead you to the starting pages for most of
what's available.
This is exactly what it sounds like - a small collection of links
to sites I visit frequently, covering
- Anime stuff - a few links to major indexes
- Bryce and Poser - a list of tutorials, great sites and places
to download models
- Comix (including Manga) - both online and links to companies
that sell the paper kind
- Search Directories - InfoSeek, Yahoo, etc. ,etc.
- Friends of Mark - my friend's home pages
- Food and Drink - links to recipe pages restaurant reviews and
so on.
- Gaming stuff - both roleplaying and tabletop (mostly DBM and
variants)
- Apple and Macintosh computer-related stuff - icons, shareware,
news, etc.
- Movies - what's on, where, reviews, etc.
- News - online newspapers and new services
- New Zealand links - information, airline schedules and
news
- Science stuff - related to tuberculosis and Immunology - my
work areas
- Travel stuff - online booking services, timetables, etc.
This a collection of pages that mostly exist to showcase my 3-D
rendered art. I mostly use Bryce, Poser and Ray Dream studio by
Metacreations, with occasional forays into Stratavision when I need
my blood pressure raising.
- Old
Favourites - pictures of mine that have been selected for
display on other people's sites
- Galleries
- Mostly Fantasy images - castles, dragons, wizards, etc.
- Links
- a list of tutorials, great sites and places to download
models
OK- this is actually the main reason for this site's existence. I
put it together to provide a resource for players in a game I ran.
It's gotten way, way out of hand since then.
- Links to Hero system
resources - mostly jumping off points with good collections of
HSR related material.
- House rules for
Hero system - these are my house rules. They involve fairly
minimal changes, but plug some big-ass ol' holes in the existing
rules. They also include easy rules to speed combat up big time,
expanded skills rules, plus some discussion of how and why.
- New rules for Martial
arts - a much more balanced and flexible system to replace or
augment the one from the HSR.
- Character
Archive - character sheets and character art for original Hero
System characters from roleplaying games I've been in or run
- Random
Fantasy Hero Character generator - a series of tables for
generating random characters within predefined points limits and
general classes - magic-users, priests, warriors, merchants and
rogues. Actually gives pretty good results.
- The
Ultimate Grimoire - an enormous and fully indexed collection
of pregenerated spells for use with Hero system games.
- Also magic items of all kinds, plus advice on generating
magic-using characters, designing original magic systems and
GM'ing games where magic is involved, plus rules for D&D
style magic, medieval magic, Voodoo, Lovecraftian magic, Feng
Shui, etc. etc.
- Occasional Action
Theatre! Individual adventures suitable for an evening's
entertainment with a strong bias towards Hong Kong Action
- Adventures come with maps, cut-out counters and character
and NPC sheets with plenty of new art.
- Battlefleet
Gothic. Battle reports and ongoing campaign based on starfleet
combat in the WH40K universe
- Gothick
Empires. This is a Fantasy Hero game world based on my (very)
long-running game. It' still growing, but right now contains:
- Sengoku
- a fantasy Hero game world set in Medieval Japan in the era of
the Sengoku Jiddai. This contains:
