|

SVC has been super busy working to make us color play aids. This time he has tackled the Hydrans with their three-tentacled selves. Whether you are playing a Hydran and want to know what your insignia looks like or a GM who wants folks to run into a Hydran and be able to say "You just ran into a Hydran in an enviro suit; he has this for his insignia", I think you will like it. (Ohhhhhhhh NOOOOOOO, we just knocked down a captain! RUNNNNNNNN!)

Perhaps it's just a naturally occurring bias, but when I first read this, I read; "You just ran over a Hydran in an enviro suit..."
I was estatic... then I re-read it and discovered that I had misread it the first time through...
Then I thought, "What if my Klingon Marine ran into the Hydran while driving a Heavy Assualt Tank! Then I was happy again. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Really officer, I thought it was a trash can. You know, one of those decorated ones -- maybe like those horses and cows and things that cities do that get all gussied up.
Let's see if you make your fast talk/diplomacy roll ...

I wonder if an excited Hydran looks like those flappy-arm inflatable thingees that car-dealerships use to catch the eye of folks. _________________

In case anyone missed it before, it's worth noting that the e23 download for Module Prime Alpha comes with a species profile for the Hydrans, too...
Also, I'm imaging His Hydran Majesty wearing a crown shaped like that kingly insignia shown in the file above. _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

Will, no they don't. Those things the car dealerships use are much too tall.
But I bet if they were shorter and had three tentacles, they would, sort of. |

Gary, you are very right about that Module. SVC's play aid above does expand on the ranks listed in that module. Still, I think that the starting core of PD: Hydrans (or wherever the Hydrans end up) is there. It is a very data-rich module. |

I would offer to write PD: Low-down, Dirty-Rot... ummm, I mean PD: Hydrans; but somehow - I don't think the idea would be well received. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Well, when it comes time and if a Hydran Triad hasn't gotten you, we'll have to see!

I think the Hydran Triad is planning to take Tony out by disguising a fire hydrant as a Hydran. When he rams it with his car... smash!

You know, I think it would be hysterical if Hydran marine combat armor just happened to bear more than a passing resemblance to a human 20th century fire hydrant.
Seriously. That would be a hoot. _________________

Let's not do anything that encourages one of Tony's cars to misbehave! |

Well, I was driving down the road, minding my own business when I saw a Gorn with a tail doing a soft-shoe routine. He was carrying a cane and hat as props. Now naturally, this caught my eye as everyone knows that Gorns don't have tails and they rarely do soft-shoe routines. I quickly realized that this was really Two-Tent Hydraxomas, the skilled Hydran assassin who lost a tentacle when he tried to save an innocent Matriarchal from a disruptor blast, and that the cane was really an energy weapon! I ducked out of the line of fire.
Unfortunately, the car didn't and I couldn't see to drive (being that I had ducked, you know) and well, the car had this accident. But I am alive and well and that is all that matters!
You could try that!

I'll keep that one in reserve, Jean. Fortunately, I still have one daughter who just got her permit - so for the next year or so, I can blame vehicular mishaps on her.
After that, I may consider the disguised Hydran assassin bit. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro
