Though I haven’t hosted a GURPS campaign for… some time, it is my favorite RPG system. My mecha-verse is an American-style space opera. My meta-verse is comprised largely of my GURPS Supers and Champions characters.

As for the space opera component, what drives the story? Inter-galactic intrigue? Epic world-destroying battles? Individual universe-saving heroics? Fantastic inventions without the technobabble? These are all found in “Farscape.”

Are humans the only race? Are they genetically-modified or cyber-enhanced? If there are aliens, are they superior or inferior? Are they equals to, the masters of or slaves to humans? Is that Kleexoblotz with the seven hetero-chromatic eyes and single triple-jointed leg truly alien or merely a human being in a costume?

Many space operas have elements of classic literature, mythology, and folklore in them. Regardless of the genre, I have found that “opera” style campaigns fall into two general timelines. The first builds itself into a history. Either from the founding of an empire or a rule in decline that has a rich history. “Dune” is a perfect example.

The second category starts in the middle of the action – usually a war or rebellion. History is written as events unfold. References to ancient treaties, battles, even marriages are mentioned to explain circumstances. At times, these “hidden histories” drive the campaign’s direction. Examples include “Star Trek,” “Babylon 5,” and many anime storylines.

Check out donjon’s Fractal World Generator for planet and solar system ideas.

I have countless campaign and scenario ideas. More than willing to brainstorm or help you build from your foundation.

I like Night Terror. But given his hands, think that he would have “demonic feet” rather than wearing shoes. Still very cool. I love the “face” and the eyes as epaulets are a great touch.

The use of the tongue for Rorrim’s tail is clever. Mad props for Meltdown. Those guns are awesome.

Danke, Legatus.

Inspired by the song “A Shogun Named Marcus” by the band Clutch: Redneck Shogun. His torso is way out of line from his legs. But, I like the feudal lord in the background.

Yes, I’m a New World samurai
And a redneck nonetheless!
So bee-bop a-whop sham-boom
Domo-arigato if I got to!

A “personal” piece. A rather surprising Christmas at Mutti’s.

Combine two archetypes into one character. This was fun.

The Fairfield State Firesharks are the arch-rivals of the Littleton Lemon-Lime Ligers. The male cheerleader is confused because he is merely raising his arm in the air. He is not holding Debby above his head.

Wow, lots of really great character designs and concepts! I like Shade’s expression. His head tilted adds that subtle “I am in some serious freaking pain!” body language.

Character Contest 66 – Cyborg

CyberPink is part of my official meta-verse. She is under the control of Dr. Menudo, a major villain. Both characters are original to HeroMachine. So, thanks to Jeff for the inspiration.

I like CyberPink’s design all around: her clothes, her prosthetics, and the background. My intent was for her introduction to be a segue. Like the first two minutes of a television show before the opening credits. Personally, I think that I nailed it. Problem is, no producer has yet to call.

Introduction / Segue
“Señora, I normally do not work on living subjects. It is… safer that way.”

“Listen, ‘Doctor’, those bastards took my arm, my ear, my eye… my man, my club, my g..damn bike!”

“What is it you want then? Repairs? I can make you whole but it will be very expensive. How much are you willing to pay?”

“I will pay whatever you want. The whole damn world will pay.”

Dr. Menudo smiled then leaned forward in her office chair. “Very well, Señora, you shall have your revenge.”

I like the electrical nodes on his shoulder en lieu of the classic neck-bolts. It shows how much power it takes to keep him alive. Plus the potential energy that he has should he wish to move or break something.

Okay guys, I’ve run into a slight issue…

I have started to write a story about the “Old West” and wish to capture an image of the heroine, Star Micheals, riding her horse Inferno but I cannot seem to find the correct balance.

Can you help?

If so, please advise me on what I need to do or better yet, give me step-by-step instructions, up to you…

Willkommen auf HeroMachine, KIM81T! You should post a picture of your design so far. That will give others a frame of reference.
