This game is based on Mattel's Masters of the Universe. It would be nothing without the many people involved in creating the brand and everything connected to it. I've tried to acknowledge everyone that I know had a part but there's bound to be omissions. Thanks to everyone involved.
A brand as large as this is not easy to wrap one's head around and while there's only one writer of this game most of the information here was originally collected by fans and shared on various websites, mailing lists and forums. I owe a great gratitude to all those people and I've tried to credit everyone but there might be people I've neglected to mention. I'd be happy to correct any mistakes, and change online aliases to the correct names if you wish.
This is version 0.4

This role-playing game, set in the fantastic universe of He-Man and She-Ra, is designed to work for anyone. However, this is the first draft release and far from complete. Therefore it is geared toward someone experienced with role playing games.
The comicbook story that starts on the next page explains what roleplaying games are, how they are played, and some core concepts for this game. If you are an experienced player, just skip past it.
The first half of the book is for every player of the game, while the second half is for the Game Keeper. The difference is explained in the comic.
Creation of this game
I first started working on this game in 2013. I looked around and found a few other projects that people had started but nothing finished or comprehensive. At the time there was no good cyclopedia for the setting either so at first the goal was to make this a game that could also be used by fans as a definitive source for knowledge. Before I could finish this game Dark Horse released the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - A character guide and world compendium which eased my burden a lot. All the material that was already finished is still in the game, but I've tried to avoid any unnecessary repetition. It's not necessary to have that book to play the game but it is recommended. All finished material is included which is why you will see sections dedicated to different incarnations of the Masters of the Universe franchise in some entries but not others. As comprehensive and correct as I have tried to be there is bound to be things I have gotten wrong, missed or forgotten. I would love your feedback so I can update the document. This original plan was to have two rules versions of this game, one simpler which coudl be played using only six sided dice, and one more advanced with a full set of rpg dice. This version is the latter and the simple reason is to be able to publish it sooner.
Welcome!
If you're new to roleplaying games, skip ahead to that section first (page X), and then come back here. If you're new to the world of Masters of the Universe, read that section first. (On page X.)
Before beginning play, you have a decision to make. Do you want to be the Keeper or a player? The Keeper is the main story teller, who sets the scene in which the players characters act. The players controls a single character each, whether a known character like Teela or a totally made up one. If you compare a role-playing game to a movie the Keeper is both the director, set designer and the one who plays all the extras and the players are the actors who play the main good guys. If you want to be the Keeper then all of this book is for you. If you want to be a player the last three chapters contains some secrets that are for the Keeper's eyes only, things for your character to discover during the game. You can switch roles at any time so this is not a permanent decision.
This game is for everyone and as such it has many options to choose from to get the right tone. Do you want your game sessions to feel like the old Filmation cartoon where characters don't use lethal force, or do you want the opposite? How to decide upon tone is explained later but that's just one of the ways you can change it. Masters of the Universe has had many incarnations that sometime contradict each other. This role- playing game tries to show these differences where possible, and where known, but for the most parts it uses its own version of the setting. It is a custom creation that uses all sources to try and make an inclusive setting. You don't have to know anything ahead of time though, all things will be explained. The goal has been that regardless of what your favorite incarnation of the Masters of the Universe is, you'll be able to recreate it through this game.
This is the main game book, and contains all the information a Keeper needs. There's a separate smaller book that contains all a Player needs.

There's a section in the end of some handy things that can be printed out to aid in play. A copy of the X book by Dark Horse is helpful, but not necessary.
About dice This game uses a full set of standard role-playing dice which are available at hobby stores. Whenever a dice is mentioned in the text it's written as the abbreviation dtype, for example d6, where d stands for dice and 6 for the number of sides of the dice. In the example that would be a regular, six-sided, die. If you're supposed to roll several dice and add together the result it will be written as numberofdicedtype, for example 2d6. If there's a modifier of some sort it will be written after the abbreviation and is added or subtracted from the result. So 2d6-3 means roll 2 six-sided dice, add them together and finally subtract 3 from that to get the result. To play this game you need d4, d6, d8, two d10 (or 1d10 and 1d100), d12 and d20.
The many versions of Masters of the Universe You should be aware that there have been several incarnations of the story each with its own mood, stories and history. Each incarnation is called a canon. This game have extra information for some canons but not all. The goal is to eventually cover all of them. If you don't aim for a certain canon, I suggest ignoring the canon specific sections. When the text decribes any setting details, like a place, or a person, if it isn't prefaced by a Canon name it's common to all or a majority of the canons. The RPG itself has its own canon which is a combination of the author's preferred parts of other canons. Things that are unique to a certain canon will be described separately like this example:
Sword of Eternos This long sword was created by the smith Cerbus and given to King Ansgar as a gift. FILMATION: The sword was stolen from the royal treasury by Skeletor but returned by He-Man. MYP: The sword was stolen by Skeletor and later destroyed in a battle.
What kind of place is this? The planet Eternia is the centre of the universe, and on it stands Castle Greyskull, home to the Power. Whosoever learns the secret of that power will be the Master of the Universe. Eternia is a post-apocalyptic world that went through a devastating war long ago. In some places civlization has managed to reestablish itself while in others it's still populated by hunter-gatherers. Eternia is a place where ancient technology meets ancient magic and where the forces of good battle the forces of evil, but it's also a lot more than that. Eternia is just one of several planets you can visit in this universe, and it lies in one of several magical dimensions that will also be possible for you to travel to. You can have adventures alongside She-Ra on the planet of Etheria in the time of her adventures or forge your own path and destiny in another time and place entirely. Or if you want to, you can take the role of the heroes, be He-Man, She-Ra, Teela, Bow or whoever you choose. Together, players and the Keeper decides where the adventures will take them. As you will see, the setting is vast and the possibility for adventures endless. CHAPTER ONE: CREATING A CHARACTER
Let's create a character. The basic steps is to choose a type, a profession and then determine some extra characteristics. For each of these steps you can either roll dice, or use a set number of points. Your Keeper might have already decided on one version or the other for you. The points options is best for if you already have an idea for what kind of character you want, or if you want to have control over the final outcome. The dice roll option is for if you like to be surprised during the process and make something interesting out of a random result. Some of the tables in this section have two rows of numbers. The first is unbiased and gives an equal chance to each option on the table. The other is biased to provide a bigger chance to get a result that's more accurate to the setting. In the game we're going to mention abilities and options frequently. When written with capital letters there's a specific meaning. Abilites are what determines how strong, fast, smart or good- looking your character is among other things. The six Abilities are described in detail below and every being in the game have Abilities. Options are extras that set a being apart from others in one way or another.
It's a good idea to have a scrap paper to record everything during character creation, and transfer that to a character sheet when everything's finished because you will do some calculations during the process.
Canon note: In this section the RPG canon is used for all entries, and other canons are mentioned when there's an important difference or detail of note.

ABILITIES Abilities are the main values that describe and define beings and a lot of other things in this game. They are given scores, allowing you to compare for example how strong one character is to another. This is part of what determines what your character can and cannot do. For example someone who is really strong will be able to throw a stone farther than someone that is less strong. A normal human being with an average score in all Abilities would have 10 in them. When we talk about the Abilities described below in this game we capitalize the word. First up are some explanations.
Strength This Ability measures how much your character can carry, how heavy weights he can lift and how far he can throw things. One point of Strength in real life is comparable to being able to lift and hold 8kg for a short time.
Agility This is a measure of how agile a person is, how easily the character can climb a tree or escape a rope when bound for example. This is also used to determine how good a character is at fine motor skills like those of use to a surgeon or someone picking a lock. Someone with a high Agility is like an olympic gymnast or famous escape artist.
Quickness This is a measure of how fast a character can react, move and do different things. Someone with a high quickness could be a world champion runner, or a quickshot.
Intelligence This is a measure of how smart the character is, how easy he can solve riddles, get technology to work or understand the plans of evil-doers. One point of Intelligence roughly equates to 10 points of IQ. Unlike some other Abilities, your ability as a player plays into this and different Keepers use this differently. (See sidebar.) Intelligence is also used as a measure of mental power as used by Magicians and Psions.
Looks This is a measure of how good the person looks. A person who looks good can easier get people's attentions, gain followers, get good deals and be liked.
Endurance This is a measure of how much a character can endure. How long is he out if someone knocks him unconscious? How many minutes can he run at full speed until he gets tired? World champion marathon runners are examples of people with high Endurance.
Physical and mental Abilities Sometimes the game refers to physical or mental Abilities. Intelligence is a mental Ability and all others are physical Abilities. Looks are considered to be neither.
Determining your character's Abilities Abilities are determined using points or by rolling dice. Regardless of what option you use the most you can have in an Ability at this point in the Character creation is 20 points, and the least is 5. For points determination take 80 points and divide them among the Abilities. If using dice roll 5d4 six times. Write the results down and then assign the scores to the Abilities in the order you want.
Ability score bonuses Depending on the score in an Ability, you might get a bonus. See the table below and write those bonuses down. These bonuses are used later, for various things.
Less than 12: No bonus 13-14: +1 15-16: +2 17-18: +3 19-20: +4 This table continues the same way. A character gains another +1 for each two steps above 20. TYPE Type in this game defines what kind of being your character is. Is the character a human, a robot or a talking intelligent animal? Types include humanoids, robots, cyborgs, intelligent animals, intelligent energies, magical constructs and many more. The type you choose or roll for will add several new components to your character. You will gain bonuses to some of your Abilities, and at this stage they can exceed 20. There is no longer any limit to the Ability scores. Then there are Type options. Bird-men for example gives your character wings enabling your character to fly. Almost all Types have several options, some that all members of that Type gain, some that you will have to choose from a list of several options. Almost all options have power levels and the higher the level the more powerful it becomes. Higher level wings makes your character fly faster, makes the wings more durable and so on. You always start at power level 1 in an option but you can raise some of them during character creation and all of them during play. The example names, characters from the setting, given for some of these species does not always mean that that's the name of that character's type. They are sometimes used as an example of what type of character you can create using that species. Some examples are used for several types of species like Stratos who is both an Avionian and an example of a Hybrid. The example characters come from various media and they are detailed later in the Keeper section of the book. Descriptions of each Type follows the tables for random selection. All Type options are explained after the Species descriptions. While this chapter describes a lot of Types, some are excluded because there's not enough information on them. It is possible to create your own Type should you wish to elaborate on some of those lesser known ones.
Type tables Coming up is a number of different tables. The first incorporates the entire universe of the game. The second is Eternia only, the third Etheria only, the fourth for a space or New Adventures of He- Man game and the fifth is for a Preternian game.
Random Types: How to use the table. Use 1d100 in the first or second column, as decided by your Keeper.

Types descriptions All the descriptions follow the same format. First is a description of the type itself and what's known of it. After that follows several sections. Abilities describes what Ability score bonuses that Type get. Equipment describes what equipment a starting character has access to and what the character can use. These are described by Technology level which are detailed in the Keeper's section of the book. A higher level means it's more sophisticated and advanced. Normal equipment can be used by anyone who understands it. Magical equipment and technological equipment might have restrictions with the most common usage restriction is belonging to the correct species. For example some of Eternias ancient technology only responds to the species native to the planet. Starting equipment is only concerned with the equipment listed in the equipment chapter later. A character can have and use any type of special equipment chosen or rolled as a Specialty regardless of normal limitations. The equipment section is based on what's most common for a certain species. If you want your character to have an atypical background, talk to your Keeper, or try the Special Origin Specialty in the Specialties step. Options describes additional choices for your character, usually making you chose one option from a list of several choices. Andreenids ex Buzz-Off This is a race of humanoids that resemble bees. They have their own civilization, a queendom with a high standing culture, and they are generally law abiding and friendly. The queendom of Andreeno lies in the Mystic Mountains and neighbours Avion, a country with which they have a history of distrust. Today they are allies through the Eternian Council, a small alliance of realms opposed to the demon Skeletor. They can use both new and ancient technology and commonly have access to technological items like cybernetic wings and helmets. FILMATION: Source canon. Just called Bee People. MYP: Most Andreenids come from the city (and country) of Andreenos in the Mystic Mountains. They are distrustful of others and had a rivalry with the Avions.

Aquaticans in general are distrustful of surface beings. Aquaticans have light blue or green skin with a green fin on men. Hair colors are green, blue, purple and hot pink, which turns white with age. While most of their technology is late medieval, they have access to some technological equipment such as beam firing tridents, and electronic and mechanic machines control some of their infrastructure.

Beast-Men ex Beast-Man Beast-men are an unique race of agile, ape-like humanoids that mostly inhabit jungles and forests. Their fur and hair is orange. They usually live in small tribes, can use most ancient technology, and are strong but not too bright. The tribes are usually governed either by the strongest (a war-chieftain) or the eldest/wisest. Usually the tribes are primitive and fearful of what they don't understand so flashy technology and magic is something they avoid. The color of the hair and fur differs according to region but is usually pretty bright. Primary colors are common, and is usually something that sticks out from the environment. Dull or dark colors are uncommon and pale colors rare. Most eye colors are in contrast to the fur. Northern tribes are more warlike and organized under strong leaders, and tend to use primitive equipment. Around the equator the tribes seldom use equipment and are organized into large family groups led by an elder in peaceful times, and a strong leader in wartimes. In the south they use equipment and are usually led by elders. Where available they live in or near ruins that offer shelter from environments or predators. Early DC: Beast Men propbably liven near the Mystic Mountains. GOLDEN: Beast Men had feline heads and were minions of Beast Man.

Some small cosmetic differences also exist like the size of the eyes, or pointed ears and the like.They are common in large parts of the universe, can use all ancient technology and are usually civilized. Some groups of humans have their own names like the blue-skinned Gar but there's no real difference between them other than the cultural specifics. This is a list of known cultures: Gar Silaxians Tree people Cat-Niks Stone people Beast Warriors/Protectors Cave Dwellers of Viev Arcadians Beast protectors Flower people Helioans Primans Serulan Snow people Torg Abilities: Humans get no ability bonuses, their main advantage is the ability to use almost any equipment, and the fact that belonging to the most widespread species, most everything is suited to them.

Equipment: Any normal equipment, modern technology and common ancient artifacts. Shapeshifter ex Modulok, Catra There are several different types of shapeshifters. Some alternate between two forms, others can assume any form with about the same mass. Some can change as many times as they like and others can only change under certain conditions. Basically a shapeshifter has a normal natural form and that form's mental capabilities are retained across any form. You construct your shapeshifter from the following options. You have 6 points to buy options for. Abilities: You get no bonuses but your physical Ability scores can be rearranged freely across forms. In the new form you gain any common Option the species has at the same level as your level of Shapeshifting is. You can use one uncommon Option at the same level as your shapeshifting. A shape is always physical unless certain options are chosen. Type options: Many forms: 3p. You have one natural form and then several other forms you can change into. When creating your character you start with 4 forms. You can level this option up and at the highest level have 10 forms. Two forms: 1p. This is the basic version, you have a natural form and one you can change into. Unlimited shape shifting: 6p. This is the most powerful version of shape shifting, allowing your character to change into anything with roughly the same mass. Equipment change: All of your carried equipment becomes part of your new form. At the next level, you choose which equipment becomes part of you and what retains its shape. At the highest level, you can carry twice your maximum strength in the new form along with you, but the extra mass must be incorporated. Special conditions: This is a limiting options that give you extra points.You may come up with other conditions than those present here and your Keeper decides if they are approved and the cost. Involuntary change: You don't control when you change, instead something triggers it. Examples: Change occurs when night comes, change occurs when afraid, change occurs when unconscious, change occurs when exposed to cold water. Think it through. The more inconvenient the involuntary change is, the more points it is worth. Inconvenience should take into account both if the other form is something undesireable, and if the circumstanses will be frequent. For example if the other form has a very undesireable personality and occurs every night, that makes it a 2 pointer where as if both forms are equally good it would be worth 1 point. Up to 4 points extra can be gained this way. Personality change: The new form is a distinct individual with its own manners, name and (if used) skills. You gain 1 point if the personality change is to a positive type of character and 2 points if its an undesireable type of person. It is highly recommended that undesireability not be in the form of something unproductive like a desire to attack other characters but rather something that's inconvenient for an adventurer like cowardice, clumsiness and so on. Limited shape: The shape itself is limited in some way, for example you may retain its own voice, or only be able to change into different looking versions of the same species, or one of the forms can't talk. Maybe there's a limit to how many times you can change in a day? Can give from 1-4 points. Always talk to the Keeper for approval. Normal species: You can change but only into existing types of species. (That is any of the others that are organic, in this section.) Higher Abilities: With this option you get more points to distribute into your other form. For every 1 point in this option you gain 4 points extra. You can not raise Intelligence. Expert changer: 1p. With this option, when changing into something that itself has organic Options, like wings, you are able to have one of their options at one level higher than your shapeshifting Option. This Option can be bought several times, each time allowing for one Option being higher. You can not add them together and make one Option 2 levels higher. Masterful changer: 2p. This does the same as above, only the new forms Option becomes 2 levels higher. This can also be bought several times. Less mass: 1p. Your other shape or shapes can be less than your normal one. Level 1 gives half, 2 one tenth and 3 one hundredth. More mass: 1p. Your shape or shapes can be more than your normal one. Level 1 gives double, 2 5 times and 3 10 times. Mass mastery: 3p. Combines the two above. Intangible form: 1p. Your shape or shapes can become intangible. Everyone sees you but they can't interact physically with you and you can't interact with them or the environment. At level 2 you can interact with the environment. Invisible form: 1p. The shape or shape is invisible. At level 2 it is also totally silent if you wish it. Elemental form: Your shape or shapes can change the very matter you are made of. An element in this game is any common metal, common rock type, common organic substance, earth, air, fire and water. 1 p if one specific element, 2 p for up to 4, or 4 p for any.

Claws add damage if used, and they have a durability value depending on the material. Fangs: Fangs are sharp teeth, with or without canals for injecting venom. Stingers: A stinger is a sharp tip which is usually at the end of a movable part of a characters body like the end of a tail. The stinger does damage in and of itself but it usually has a second function like delivering poison, shooting streams of acid and so on. Sprays: A spray is a coneshaped stream, usually of a liquid of some sort. Breaths: A breath is an attack that can be formed to either make a spray, a cloud or a ray. Clouds: A cloud is a wide, billowing attack that covers an area. Rays: A ray is a narrow focused attack. Silent movement: Silent movement means there's no noise generated by the movement.

They give you additional Options for skills as well as additional bonuses to your Abilities. A profession explains what your character have been doing up until your adventures starts. It determines what additional equipment and resources your character starts with. This list is pretty large but in case you can't find any that fits there's a section on creating your own profession after the descriptions. Almost all professions have variants which are detailed in the descriptions. A cook can just as well be a specialized winemaker or pastry chef. Since this game encompasses a very wide set of cultures and technological settings, the meaning, titles and what exactly a profession entails also varies. The professions names are based on a medieval setting, with more modern or primitive versions and variants behind slashes.

SKILLS Some skills are not available to everyone but are dependent on certain levels of civilization. After the game has begun anyone can learn any skill, but some skills can't be self taught and require a teacher or book or similar. Those are marked with an asterisk. Skills are based on Abilities, so you get a base value that is equal to the relevant ability's bonus. After that you add skill levels. You get 20 points when you create your character and an additional point every 100 experience points you earn. Some species, professions and items give additional bonuses. When you need to know if you succeed at something using a skill, you roll a d20, add the result and all of the skill values together and compare it to a difficulty set by the Keeper. Most skills have a list of sample difficulties.
Skill lists Below are three skill lists. The first is a very extensive list, the second a more compact, curated list. The third list is focused on adventure. Which one you choose to use should be based on what you want the interaction to be like in the game. The more skills to choose from and use, the more the characters will depend on them during their adventures. If you are an experienced Keeper you probably already have a preference. If you're new, start with the shortest list, or skip skills altogether. The pros and cons of using skills. Just like rating Abilities, rating exactly what a character knows provides a degree of certainty and detail to the game. On the flip side of that is the fact that having skills in the game means that some characters won't be able to do certain things in the game. Skills makes Abilities less important. Using Abilities instead of skills. This is a easy way to make Abilities very important, and to still have some excitement as you roll to see if you succeed or not. This is detailed more below. Using judgement. This simply means that depending on how you as the Keeper see the setting and the player character ability to succeed at something you decide if it's possible or not. Someone who lives in a mountainous area probably knows how to climb mountains, and someone who lives near water knows how to swim.

Name Choose your name. Most Masters of the Universe have both a real given name and a codename or nickname, like Duncan who is more widely known as Man-at-Arms. The names of Masters of the Universe characters have a tendence to end with the suffixes -or, -a and -Man. Examples include Stinkor, Skeletor, Frosta, Castaspella, He-Man and Moss Man. Age Birthplace Family SPECIALTIES You should choose one or more Specialties. It can be a skill mastery, special physical Ability, mental Ability, special enhanced Type ability, unique equipment, companion or one of the ones that did not fit the other categories. This Specialty and your species is the core of your Masters of the Universe character, what makes it unique (apart from personality). Below are lists of Specialties. Those with an asterisk is used by an existing character from the Masters of the Universe. That doesn't mean they're off limits, its just a consideration for you if you want to have a unique character. Several Specialties have the same effects, regardless of what kind of Specialty it is. The difference is what the source is and what form it takes. The ability to fly can be had through a Specialty item, a physical Specialty or a mental one (as well as some species abilities) for example. It's mostly up to you and what you think would be cool for your character. Most Specialties have levels, ranging from 1 to 5. Most of the time the effect of a higher level means it becomes more powerful, but some instead add new possibilities and powers. Others have both levels that can be bought and add-ons that enhance the Specialty further. Most Specialties have no prerequisite, but some do. Usually this is a character level that needs to be met in order to take the higher level. Specialties can be improved and gained after play has begun but buying a new one then is more expensive to encourage you to to power up your existing Specialty. No starting characters in a group should have the same Specialty or Specialties. If that happens when rolling randomly, just reroll one or all with the same Specialty until everyone has a unique one. Or, if two or more want the same one, encourage the players to think about how the Specialties differ. This chapter has three sections. The first lists the Specialties by its source and name and gives the tables for random determination. The second details the Specialties in alphabetical order. Finally evil Specialties are detailed by themselves at the end. The evil Specialties are reserved for villains, unless your Keeper says otherwise.
Types of damage, and types of energies In the Specialties detailed below many concerns various energies and types of damage. This is a complete list with explanations and also shows which types are considered elemental. An energy being elemental is only important for some Specialties.

Random Specialty table: Special Ability Special Skill Special heightened species option Special secondary ability Special Physical ability Special Mental ability Special Item Special Companion Other Special Ability: A character with a special Ability gets to add an additional 10 points to the current Ability score if it's 20 or more. If it's less it can get raised to 20 before adding on the 10 points if you want. If any other player character has a score that's higher than the modified score due to a combination of species, profession and Options, you get 10 points more than their maximum score. If another character has its Strength raised, your characters Ability will also be raised so that it will always remain 10 points ahead when creating the character. (After play starts, it's up to you to decide if you want to keep increasing your score or not regardless of what other players do to their characters.) If two players want their character to have the same special Ability score Specialty they will both have the same score. Encourage the players to come up with what separates their characters special Abilities. Examples follows. If a character recieves a special Ability after the game has begun, a character who had the Special Abilty from the beginning will always stay 5 points ahead of that character.

Special Item: Each special item is unique. While anyone can use the item your character is always better at it. Generally you gain 5 points to whatever skill is used by an item. If not applicable you and the Keeper must agree on what the effect difference will be. Several descriptions have suggested effects.
Item suggestions The special item could be anything (although vehicles and weapons have separate entries below) and you are free to describe what the item is as long as the Keeper is ok with it. Here are some suggestions:

Some examples of companions are Orko, Battle Cat and Arrow.
Special vehicle: A special vehicle can be special in many different ways, but they are almost always unique, one of a kind. Even if they are similar to a common vehicle they will have at least something which makes them different.
Alphabetic descriptions of Specialties For any attack, see Offensive for the extra options available for ranges, areas of effect and similar. And see Defensive for all options regarding defensive Specialties and items.

If you raise the base defense against all attacks, any more specialized defense ir raised alongside it so it stays ahead of he base protection by the same amount as previously.

Cosmic enforcerer (3 pt) If you have rolled randomly and already gotten this as a profession, reroll ignoring this Specialty. Your mission is to see to it that the universe is in balance. Balance means people live in peace, are safe, healthy and so on. You intuitively know if a being is good, evil or neutral. As long as you are a Cosmic enforcerer you do not age, do not need to consume food or water (but you can if you wish to), do not need to breathe and can withstand the vacuum of space, high altitudes, high heat and high pressure. All these powers come from your armor (see below). You have access to special transportation to take you to your base. Create the specifics using the Special Vehicle Specialty with 50 vehicle points. All cosmic enforcerer vehicles can teleport and travel dimensions and space at warp speed at no extra cost. They are always for only one person, but can actually transport as many as can fit around and touch it. Your base has access to a variety of machines that can heal you, repair your vehicle, allow you to remotely view almost all of the universe, warns of dangers to the balance. It also stores extras of the armor and weapons of the enforcers. The Cosmic enforcerer armor is like a level 1 Armor Specialty but cannot be upgraded. The armor can not be removed unless you permit it. The armor does not confer its abilities to anyone that isn't a cosmic enforcerer and even loses its armor rating so it doesn't even provide any protection. The cosmic enforcerers have a selection of weapons, ranged and melee. They are energy powered by an energy that combines magic, normal energies and elements and the damage rating is 10. If any cosmic enforcerer equipment is lost or destroyed, or the enforcerer is unconscious or mortally wounded, the base will alert all other cosmic enforcerers. This alert is pretty smart so a short unconsciousness will not trigger it for example. You have a code of conduct that unless followed will strip you of your Cosmic enforcerer status. Points spent are retained and can be spent on other Specialties immediately should that happen. No killing if they can be turned to good or neutral. No harming innocents or unnecessarily damaging things needed for living. No personal interferance or participation or action in politics, war and bad relationships unless the balance is threatened. You may however inform others of a situation, and offer advice if asked. Never bring others into you base. Always answer an alarm when the balance is in danger. You may not get romantically involved with beings other than other Cosmic enforcerers.

They are all detailed below. If the defensive Specialty is an item you must decide what it actually is, like a medallion, a breastplate, a helmet, a shield and so on. Whatever you choose it protects the same way and as much regardless of actual physical size. Physical Any normal weapon or unarmed attack, anything that would be stopped by a physical barrier between it and you. Magical Magical attacks can be physical and elemental, and an armor can protect against those. Many magical attacks however are not physical, nor part of other types of attacks and those can only be protected against by spending 1 pt per spell.

Special Skill (1 pt) Physical, mental, item, other This can be used with any skill and has three effects, the skill you choose costs half to increase, you can increase it to double the usual limit and it grants you a signature use of the skill that only you can use. We provide some examples in the skill descriptions but you and your GM are encouraged to come up with more in the same vein. In this section additional special skills are described that are not based on regular skills. Superb two weapon fighter Superb shield and weapon fighter Superb martial artist Quick fighter Agile fighter

Special heightened species option (1 pt) Physical, mental This can be used in one of two ways. Either it allows you to double up all the bonuses and effects from one option, or pick one more species option than is regularly allowed. If there aren't enough options for your species, you need to choose the first version.
Special origin (1 pt) Other You weren't born here or there is something more to your birth. This is a pretty broad specialty and another one that you and the Keeper should collaborate on. When your origin is special you can disregard the equipment section of your species and instead look at what the origin would give. A beast-man from a technologically advanced civilization would be unafraid of technology and probably have such equipment. Unknown parentage: You don't know who your parents are, and if unique how you came to be. Unknown origin: Your memory is blank from a certain age and backwards. From another planet: Your from another planet than the main one your Keeper uses (usually Eternia and Etheria). How did you come here? Can you go back easily? Why did you come here?

Abilities: Strength (1 pt equals 5 Ability points) Agility (1 pt equals 1 Ability point) Quickness (See table) Endurance (1 pt equals 10 Ability points)
Quickness The speed of the vehicle is for travelling on planets and similar, a vehicle that has Space travel as an option can always travel at (at least) fast speed in space. A vehicles speed is reduced one level if it has to go through material such as sand or water, and two levels if going through rock or metal. Speed never drops below really slow unless the vehicle has lost power or parts of its drive train has broken. Really slow (crawl speed) (Gain 3 pts) Slow (walking speed) (Gain 2 pts) Low speed (running man) (Gain 1 pt) Normal (galopping horse, maximum speed of oar powered ship) (Free) Speedy (car, pedal to the metal, maximum speed of sail driven water ship) (1 pt) Quick (airplane, maximum speed of engine driven water ship, sail driven air ship) (2 pt) Fast (supersonic) (3 pt) Really fast (warp speed) (4 pt) Instant (Teleportation, see special ability below) (5 pt)
Power source: Magic (1 pt) Energy (1 pt) Oil (1 pt) Water (1 pt) Sun (Varies) Needs refill (Free) Needs special refilling station (Gain 1 pt) Never runs out (1 pt) Size
Power sources explained Magic is a type of energy which can be recharged by casting spells into it, usually a special section like a crystal. The level of the spell provides a refill according to a part of the maximum storage. A level 1 spell gives 1/5th of a charge and a level 5 spell fills it up completely. Magic can use the Never runs out option. Energy can be of any kind and can be refilled using energy of the same kind. Most energy can be converted to another by using special machines that might have to be constructed during play. Oil means any oil, sunflower oil, crude oil and so on. Water means any type of water, and any liquid that is mostly water like ales or soda. Sun means any sun or star or powerful light source. The speed of recharging gives the cost: 1 day (gain 1pt), 1 hour (Free), 10 minutes (1pt), 1 minute (2pts). Needs refill means that it needs to be refilled at some point, the opposite being Never runs out. Needs special refilling station means that the vehicle needs to be hooked up to some kind of unique or very rare recharging station. Usually this station will be in the characters base. Size means the size of the energy store and the cost depends on how far it can go on a full tank and still return to its starting point. A space travelling vehicle has at least a huge tank unless you and your GM agrees on something else. (A large tank would work between a planet and its moons for example.) Short (within a country, gain 1 pt), Normal (within a continent, Free), large (within an entire planet, 1 pt), huge (within a solar system, 2 pts), gigantic (within a galaxy, 3 pts), enormous (within the universe, 5 pts).
Areas of mobility: Land, wheeled Land, tracked Land, walking Land and sea, hovering (1 pt) Land terrain: Plains, flats and roads (Free) Land terrain: Hills, steep inclines and rocky ground (1 pt) Land terrain: Swamps, mud and marshlands (1 pt) Land terrain: Mountains, canyons and sheer walls (1 pt) Snow and ice (1 pt) Sea, sails (Free) Sea, engine (1 pt) Sea, oared (Gain 1 pt) Storms (1 pt) Underwater (1 pt) Air, wind Air, engine (1 pt) Air, sails Burrowing, sand and mud, ice (1 pt) Burrowing, stone and metal (1 pt) Space (2 pt) Dimensions (3 pt)
Mobility explained Land, sea, air, underwater, burrowing and space is just an explanation of where the vehicle can operate, and any vehicle can have one, more or all areas. Any vehicle protects its occupants with the protection needed to survive that area so there's no need to buy the High pressure adaptation specialty for a submarine for example. Wheeled, tracked or walking is just a description of how a land vehicle moves. There's no game advantage to one or the other. Land and sea, hovering is a type of movement which allows for the vehicle to drive over both land and water. This can also be envisioned as a land vehicle that is amphibious so it functions like a car on land and a boat in the water. Land terrain is what types of terrain a land vehicle can move over or through. The rougher the terrain, the lesser the speed possible in that area. Sea types describes how the vehicle is moved and each has a maximum speed allowed. (See the Quickness section above.) Storms means the vehicle can move through storms and similar conditions without taking damage, and without losing speed. Underwater means the vehicle can dive and move underwater. Unless otherwise decided the vehicle can go as deep as the deepest part of any ocean, contains air enough for its number of occupants for its entire tank operation range, has lights and windows and is comfortable to be in unless otherwise decided on. Air types describes how the air vehicle moves. Wind means it uses wind directions to move, like a baloon does. Sails and engine works like sails and engines on sea ships. An air vehicle provides the comforts and protection needed for its occupants unless otherwise decided. Burrowing vehicles can move through solid matter thanks to some device that moves material away from the vehicle. Space vehicles move through space, their range determined by their quickness. Dimension travelling vehicles can move their occupants to other dimensions. The usual way is by travelling to the Travel corridor and then on to the doorway to another dimension. The vehicle is similar to a submarine when it comes to what protection it gives. Some dimensions are so weird and have dangers that any normal protection can't withstand. In order to protect against everything, you need to buy all the Defensive specialty options for it.
Seats: One ( Gain 2 pts) Two (Gain 1 pt) Group (Free) Lots (Free)
Materials: Crystal (1 pt) Metal (1 pt) Stone (1 pt) Wood (Free) Bone (Free)
Crystal, metal and stone has an innate armor rating of 10, wood and bone has 3. Weaponry: See Offensive
Defences: See Armor and Defensive
Weaknesses: Water Cold Heat Attacks Sand
The vehicle is vulnerable to one or several materials or conditions. The more severe the condition the worse the performance gets until it will stop moving entirely. A weakness is rated 1 to 5 and so are the materials and conditions. Each level of weakness gains you 1 pt. Example of the waters danger levels are 1: small drops, mist, 2: light rain, 3: normal rain, 4: torrential rain, 5: completely submerged. A vehicle with water weakness 5 will be damaged from small drops, a vehicle with weakness 2 from light rain. Each level lowers the performance by a similar level, each level compromising a fifth. So a vehicle with level 2 weakness loses 1/5th of its speed when it's in light rain, and if submerged loses 4/5ths of its speed.

Customizing further This is where you put the final touch to your character's specialty. If you're happy with it as is you can skip this step. Whatever the amount of powers and specialties we've dreamt up, we're sure you can come up with stuff we've missed, and that's what this is about. We can't discuss all permutations but here are some guidelines and examples. You and your Keeper should discuss what customization you want and the Keeper gets final approval. This isn't about trying to get an edge and upset game balance but rather to have your character work as you envision. Aestethics: This is what the specialty looks like. This is something you can modify as you wish, your forcefield, or energy beam, or armour or weapon or skill use can look like you want it to, any color. In the same vein an item can look like anything you want and be of any material except those that give additional properties. Effects: This is ultimately about balance. Say you have a forcefield and you want it to even more powerful than standard. Sure you can have that, but to balance that it has a weakness or two. If you want additional range for a power, the effect will be halved, for every range doubling. Combined specialties: If the keeper allows it a character can allow a character to have two or more specialties. We recommend no more than three per character and that for a high-powered game. Optionally each additional specialty beyond the first halves the efficiency of all of them. So three specialties would have them all at a quarter of their power.

EQUIPMENT This chapter is all about equipment and how to get it. First is a section where various goods are grouped by theme. That is followed by a description in alphabetical order. Then there are sections on what's available in certain locations that the characters will probably visit. Lastly are loot tables, for when you don't have time to prepare, organized by location and technology level.
Common Loot/findings table
Item, Civilization level, cost, availability For each item there is a notation which level of technology it's available at (CIV), how easily available it is (AVA). Civilization follows the periods or ages decribed in the civilizations chapter. Eternias ancient age is a special case as it is beyond all other levels of civilization. The availabilty can be used in several ways. Either you just determine the availability if the item is asked for, or you can have them roll trade or information skills. If it is a rare item you can also determine that it is available only more expensive. The base of the Eternian economy is trade but coins are becoming more common and in larger cities it's used most of the time. There are several types of coins used on Eternia but for the sake of simplicity there are modern coins, copper, silver and gold, and ancient coins silver and gold. Prices here are in copper coins. 100 copper = 10 silver = 1 gold. Ancient coins are worth double but weigh the same although they are slightly larger.
CIVILIZATION LEVEL: S= Stone Age. Finds of this type is common. B= Bronze Age. Finds of this type is common. I= Iron Age. Finds of this type is common. C= Classical Age. Finds of this type is very common. M= Medieval. This is the most common type of technology on Eternia and Etheria. R= Rennaisance. Finds of this type is rare. IN= Industrial Age. Finds of this type is rare. A= Atomic Age. Finds of this type is rare. This is the most common type of technology in the Horde territories. F= Fusion Age. Finds of this type is very rare. FF= Far Future. Finds of this type is very rare. This is the most common type of technology in the Tri-Solar System. THis was the level of the pre Great War Eternia

Battle Ram The Battle Ram is a wheeled vehicle with a projectile ram. It can be paired with a Jet Sled and controlled from the sled or from the back of the Battle Ram part. The ram shoots specially designed rams over long distances. FILMATION: The intensity of the vehicles weapon can be changed. At high power it will blast away a huge chunk of rock from a mountain and at low intensity it will after a short while blast the same amount of rock into smaller pieces of rock. There are at least 6 of this in the royal palace. The vehicle is voice commanded, and voice prints are put in before hand to keep unauthorized users away. Mini-comics: The Battle Ram is a combination battering ram, catapult and space-warp device, with a flame thrower, swivel mounted laser gun. The only known Battle Ram is owned by He-Man. A space-warp enables the vehicle to very quickly go from one place to another, without having to travel the intervening distance. RPG: Only one known, mostly functioning, Battle Ram exists, in the care of Man-at-Arms. Speed Power source Consumption Armor Hit points Driver Passenger Weapons Other

It has a safety measure which allows it to land if it looses the pilot. Mini-comics: Only one Jet sled is known to exist, in the care of He-Man. RPG: Only one known functioning Jet Sled exist, in the care of Man at Arms. While the sleds were common, the problem is finding enough of them to make one functioning sled. About a months full time excavation of a pre-Great War site may yield the material for one that someone may make one functioning Jet sled out of.

MAGIC AND PSIONICS This chapter details what magic and psionics are and what they can accomplish. From a game rules perspective magic and psionic powers work the same but they are dissimilar in how they are gained, and what exact effects they have.
Magic Magic is its own type of elemental energy which can be used to manipulate the world. Some beings are innate users of magic, but for most intelligent species it is an acquired, learned, skill. It is usually learned by asking a magic user to teach their knowledge, or by reading books on the subject.
Magis ic divided into two main branches, normal and dark. The first is used for almost everything and the second draws its power from demonic and evil sources. Any magic user can use either, but dark magic is more dangerous and best left to villains. Magic is then divided into three types based on the amount of preparation and time it needs. It can be improvised, prepared or ritual. Improvised use more magic power but allows for flexible use and can be used at will. Prepared use less magic power but have their limits defined. They sometimes need some materials, and while most can be cast at will, some take longer, up to 10 minutes. Rituals use a lot of magical power and take a lot of time and materials. They are the most powerful, and they can be cast by multiple participants to increase the power or ease the indivudual power drain. Using magic costs Magic Power. A normal person and a Magician gets 10 Magic Power points to start with while those with the Specialty get to chose different options which give different amounts of points. Add your Intelligence Ability score to this. As a last resort, if you are out of Magic Power points you may instead, do Ability damage to your Endurance and gain as many Magic Power points as you do damage. As you will see later, some magic items also use Magic points, and may be used by a magic user to power the users own spells.
Magician and Magic Specialty A magician is someone whose main profession is magic, and as such will have a very wide selection of magic powers to choose from in addition to any extra gained from also taking the Magic Specialty. Someone with the Specialty is more limited in their selection of powers but may use them in different ways sometimes. Non Magician Magic Specialty Level 1: You get a starting Magic Power Rating of 20 for use with improvised magic, or you get the normal 10 but get to choose 5 spells from the spell list that work at their maximum capacity, or you get the normal 10 but can choose one ritual that you can cast as if it was improvised as regards to material and time. The option you choose here is what improves with each level. If you want to have both the high Magic Rating for improvised spells, plus additional spells that work at maximum, you need to take the specialty twice. Level 2: Your Magic Power Rating is 30 for use with improvised magic. You get to choose an additional 5 spells from the spell list that work at their maximum capacity. You can choose one additional ritual that you can cast as if it was improvised as regards to material and time. Level 3: Your Magic Power Rating is 40 for use with improvised magic. You get to choose an additional 5 spells from the spell list that work at their maximum capacity. You can choose one additional ritual that you can cast as if it was improvised as regards to material and time. Regardless of what option you have, you can now identify a magic item and know its powers by holding it. You can counter magical protection by paying its protection value in Magic Power. Level 4: Your Magic Power Rating is 60 for use with improvised magic. You get to choose an additional 5 spells from the spell list that work at their maximum capacity. You can choose one additional ritual that you can cast as if it was improvised as regards to material and time. Regardless of what option you have, you can counter a spell by paying as much Magic Power as the caster. You can counter any damage you recieve by paying that amount of Magic Power. Level 5: Your Magic Power Rating is 100 for use with improvised magic. You get to choose an additional 10 spells from the spell list that work at their maximum capacity. You can choose one additional ritual that you can cast as if it was improvised as regards to material and time. You can counter any spell a Magic Specialty user casts for 10 regardless of the cost they paid if they are a lower level than you. You can counter any damage someone recieves by paying that amount of Magic Power. Add-ons: The Power: You add as many points as your Magic Power Rating. Improvised magic Improvised magis is instant and uses your Magic Power directly to power the effects of a magic effect made up on the spot. It can be used by both pure Magicians and those with only the Specialty. Some items may give a non magic user the ability to use improvised magic. Here's what it can do: Each point of magic power may negate as many points of magical, physical and psionic protection, magical, psionic and physical damage. If it becomes 0 or less, the damaging effect has not made contact with the target. It may heal as many points of damage. It may do magical force damage, 1d4 per point of Magic Power. You may add one type of energy or element per 5 points of Magic Power. The range is touch, or 10 meters per Magic Power. For each magic power spent you may increase or decrease a moving object or beings speed by 10 meters per turn. You may magically lift things of 5kg per Magic Power. You may summon magic beings, which have 1 in each value for every Magic Power. You may illuminate a 30 meter wide area for a minute per power. You may raise or lower a beings Ability by 1 for every Magic Power. You may substitute a spells material requirement for 1 Magic Power point for each 100 gold worth of materials. You may halve the casting time of a spell or ritual by paying its cost in Magic Power points. You may raise the difficulty of the Ability roll used to resist a magic effect, a point for a point. The Magician The name Magician means any magic user that isn't using the Specialty only, or an item to use magic. There are many different names used to denote a Magician but they are the same. Some alternate names include wizard, warlock, witch, conjurer, sorcerer and X. A Magicians most important skill is his use of magic spells, and therefore a driving force is learning new ones. New spells can come from other Magicians, from books of Magic, from artifacts and experimenting. Spells have levels and you must be of the same level to be able to use a spell. A starting Magician gets the Magic Knowledge Skill.
Magician levels 1: This level doesn't cost anything for someone who has chosen Magician as their starting Profession. You coose 10 spells as your staring spells. 2: You may use level 2 spells. You get 20 Magic Power. 3: You may use level 3 spells. You get 40 Magic Power. 4: You may use level 4 spells. You get 60 Magic Power. 5: You may use level 5 spells. You get 80 Magic Power. Add-ons: The Power (1): You add as many points as your Magic Power Rating. Easy (1): Choose 3 spells. Those always work at maximum effect. Spells All spells are listed alphabetically, but there is a list of the spells by level also. Almost every spell improves with each level and the effects will be detailed in the spell. All spells are decribed the same way, like this: Type: Normal or Dark. Improvised, prepared or ritual. Described earlier in this chapter. Materials: If any are needed, lists which and how much. Time: How much time it takes to cast the spell. Level: Which level you can take the spell at. Range: How far it can reach. Area of effect: How large an area it effects, or how many of a specific thing it can effect. Save: What type of Ability roll a target may roll to avoid the effect, or break free from a spell. Restricted: If the spell may only be cast once on Eternia. This is detailed more in the section of Spellcasting on Eternia and is used in the RPG and in Mini-comics canon. Cost: How many Magic Power points it costs to cast the spell. Then follows the main description.
Ranges The range of a spell can be either self, touch, a distance shown in meters, or kilometers, or a distance described by words. Self means the spell only affects yourself. Touch means you need to touch the person physically. It doesn't need to be body to body, the magician may use gloves and only touch another persons armor that the person is wearing for the spell to take effect. Described by words are written as to be easily understood. Some example may be the continent, the hemisphere, the planet, the dimension, within view and so on.
Areas of effect Commonly the areas are described by geometry like a circle, a cube and so on of a certain height, width, depth/breadth or diameter and affects everyone within the area. Some spells might affect a certain number of levels of beings, a certain weight in kilos, a number of hit points or Ability points. This will be clearly spelled out.

CHAPTER FIVE: THE GAME RULES This chapter details all the rules used in the Advanced rules set. You do not have to read the Basic rules to understand these rules. Some sections are very similar to the Basic rules and if you're moving from one to the next, read everything here carefully because they are different in almost all cases. Just like the Basic rules, there are options for you to chose from depending on your preferences. If you are unsure which rules set to use, read this chapter and see if it feels right and more interesting than the Basic rules if you have read those. You can also mix and match, so if you prefer the Basic rules but like something presented here, just use that exception.
The main rule of the game A roleplaying game is about characters trying to accomplish something, whether that is winning a jousting tournament or beauty contest, or repairing a broken down starship. Basically anything the players think is relevant for their characters to do. If it's relevant and important we use the rule as described below. If it's unimportant, there's no need to roll. Opening a door, eating a meal, routine tasks need not make use of any rule or roll. In order to determine if the character succeed we roll dice to add a bit of excitement to the procedings. The better someone is at doing what they are attempting the higher the chance of success. Any attempt at anything means you roll 1D20 against a Difficulty level set by the Keeper. Ability score modifiers are added to the roll. If your roll and modifier equals or exceeds the Difficulty level you succeed. If you have a relevant skill, the Difficulty level is lowered one step. The difficulty levels are as follows:
Easy (Shouldn't be rolled normally) Only 1 is a failure Normal (Shouldn't be rolled normally) 4+ Difficult 10+ Hard 16+ Nearly Impossible Only 20 is a success
This one rule is central to the entire game. The rest of the rules detail how you use the rule in various situations, how you can modify the difficulties, and some other more specialized rules that are used much more rarely.
If you use the Skill system you use your Skill bonus with your Ability score modifier against the difficulty levels below: Easy 6 Normal 12 Difficult 17 Hard 23 Nearly Impossible 30 The skills chapter has sample difficulties for common uses.
Action When things start to heat up, and several characters and other beings want to do something at the same time it's necessary to keep track of time and the order of events. This is done using Quickness. The being with the highest Quickness goes first, and then the rest do their actions in order from highest to lowest Quickness. Action sequences are divided into rounds. Rounds are about 10 seconds of time in the game world. Each being can move and do one thing of their own during their turn in a round. A list of examples of what a being can do is on the next page. Option: Additional things for quick beings For every 10 points of Quickness a being will be able to do 1 additional thing.
What a character can do in a round Open a bottle and drink it. Open a container and take an item out of it. Try to hit a target. Cast any one round spell. Activate a magic item. Open and close a door. Mount a steed. Get in a vehicle. Light a torch if you have the right equipment. Transform Start up a vehicle. Change ammunition in a weapon. Move an additional distance.
Some things that don't count towards what you can do Use a knowledge skill as long as you are not casting a spell. Speak, as long as you don't cast a spell with a vocal component.
Chases A person with higher Quickness will catch someone with lower Quickness.
Combat
Hitting and avoiding getting hit If a being tries to hit another being you use a variation of the main rule. Instead of trying to match or exceed a Difficulty level, the difficulty is the targets Armor class. So you roll 3d6, add the Ability modifier for the weapon or attack form the being uses. If the result is equal to or higher than the armor class the attack has hit. If a being tries to avoid getting hit they have to roll 3d6, and add either their Quickness or Agility Ability bonus against the attackers result. If the roll equals or exceeds the attack result, the hit is negated.
Holding If a being wants to hold a target, they first have to hit according to the rule above. If they succeed (after having checked for avoidance as the rule above), the target is held. The target may try to break free, using Agility or Strength. You use the main rule, and both the being holding and the held being rolls. The one with the highest result wins. A held being loses their Ability bonus to Agility and Quickness except for when trying to break free.
Doing damage If a being has hit another being you roll 1d6, adds the right Ability bonus and the weapon damage bonus. This amount is then deducted from the targets hit points. All weapons and attack characteristics are on the Attack form table.
Getting hurt When a being has 0 hit points, they are unconscious. They will regain consciousness and start at 1 hit point after 1 hour of game world time. If a being hits someone, and they would become unconscious, they can instead choose to kill the target.
Healing Normally a being that isn't unconscious regains all their hit points after a fight, or after six hours of rest.
Falls A being which falls takes 1d6 of damage for every 10 feet fallen, up to a maximum of 10d6. If the fall is under 10 feet the being may try an Agility roll to avoid the damage.
Fire A being which burns takes 1d6 of damage each turn. A being may take 1 turn to extinguish the fire.
Drowning A being which needs to breathe but is unable to will be able to hold its breath for 1d6 turns, or if prepared its Constitution in number of turns. After that the being will begin to die, either from being unable to breathe or by inhaling liquid. A minute after running out of air a normal being will lose consciousness, and unless rescued will be dead after four more minutes. (Under extreme conditions, with training and a good amount of preparation combined with non strenous activity a being can hold its breath for its Constitution in number of turns. Extremely lucky individuals who are submerged in frigid water may survive up to an hour without dying, but will need rescue and treatment by someone with knowledge of cold damage.)
Breaking stuff Just like a character, every object has a number of hit points. When an item has lost a quarter of its hit points any casual observer may see that it has been damaged. Sensitive items like most electronics will cease to function at this stage. When half the hit points have been lost an item is clearly damaged and a person will notice this by touch. Mechanical objects will cease to function at this stage. At a loss of all hit ponts an item is broken and will no longer perform its function. A pole may be cut in half, a door fallen off its hinges and so on. To completeley destroy an item however, making it impossible to repair by normal means, you need to do an additional 10 times its hit points in damage.

Improvement As a character goes through an adventure the character gains experience points. These can be used to improve or buy new options and abilities and buy new skills (and hit points). Experience points is recommended to be handed out at a rate of 100 per session, and 200 at the end of the last session of an adventure. Costs: New skill: 100 Raise an ability: 200 Raise an option: 300 New option: 400 Options: The rate of experience should really be about what your players enjoy. Most enjoy making their character a little bit better often. Feel free to experiment with the rate and change the cost for improvement. When can characters improve? This is another option. Some Keepers let the PC's use and get their improvement directly during an ongoing adventure, while others let the improvements happen after a finished adventure. Buying more hit points is another option. This should probably be limited to a max of 20 or combats might become too long.

Combat Filmation Heroic Lethal CHAPTER SEVEN: BEING A KEEPER
Being a Keeper is a great role, allowing you to entertain your friends and develop your creativity. The character players only control their characters and only need to know the rules that pertain to them, while the rest of the rules and the game is the Keepers to handle. That may sound like a lot to do but it's not overwhelming and it's really rewarding. This chapter is for those new to roleplaying or to Keeping so if you're experienced you may skip this chapter. If you haven't already read the introductory comicbook, then do so first and then return here.
The steps to become a Keeper Read this chapter (Read the Introduction to the Universe, if this setting is new to you) Create a character Read the Magic chapter (but skip the spells) Read the Basic rules Read the Adventures Chapter Run the Introductory Adventure
Character player and Keeper comparison Let us start with a comparison between the two roles of a player in a role playing game. PLAYER KEEPER Acting their character Acting every character other than the Player Characters Knowing the important rules Knowing almost all the rules Arbiting the rules Planning for the adventure Engaging the players Knowing their character Knowing the setting Organize the game
Looking at that list there's quite the difference, however there's only one that takes a lot more time and effort, and that's planning for the adventure. Adventures have their own chapter so we won't go in to any detail in this chapter.
Why be a Keeper? The main thing that draws some to Keeping is that it's a great creative outlet. A Keeper thinks about fun adventures, monsters, villains, mysteries, treasures and whatever else the player characters will encounter during the game. For some this is more fun than actually playing the game, while others like the reward of seeing their friends have fun meeting the challenges that the Keeper has set up. It is a unique experience and we do recommend that you try it once to see if it's for you.
Basic organization If you've decided to try and be a Keeper, it will be a great help to be organized. Get a notebook or a computer file folder for all your game notes. Keep it and the other game stuff together.
Knowing almost all the rules Knowing the rules of this game does not mean you have to memorize then in order to be a Keeper. Before running your first adventure you should read through the Basic rules once, just to learn the main, most often used rule and to see what the rules actually cover. During play you can use the Index to find any specific thing you might want to reference. The more you play the easier it becomes. You and your players will remember the rules that gets used often and the important ones. The main advantage of knowing the rules well is to not waste time and slow things down during the game session. It is fair for you to let the players be the ones that learn the rules they themselves use, like for example how a certain spell their character uses functions.
Arbiting the rules Sometimes a situation may occur that isn't covered by the rules. Then it is your job to decide how it will work during the game session in progress, and if needed, maybe elaborated on later. As an example, two player characters are involved in a food fight. So far they have only thrown solid small objects like apples and potatoes at each other which the basic rules cover. (Fighting and throwing things in general is covered. Exactly what is thrown is irrelevant in this case.) But then one of the characters wants to throw a custard and cream cake in the other player character's face. The Basic rules don't have rules for aiming at a specific body part, or what happens if you get something gooey in your face and eyes. This is where your decision comes in and the type of decisions you make is your game style. There is no right or wrong. If the players don't like your decision you can just change it directly, stick to it, or say that you will think about it later. Keeping the session going is more important than halting the game and taking a lot of time thinking things through. See the sidebar for some ways to think about this particular example and different ways to reason.
Planning for the Adventure The creation of the adventure is its own separate chapter. In short, this is about making sure you have easy access to what you need. You have your adventure notes. You may have maps prepared. You may have read up on an unusual rule that you know will be used. Anything that you can think of that will make it easy for you to run the adventure.
Engaging the players This is about knowing what your players enjoy and activating them. You will learn that some players enjoy the combact aspect of the game, some like overcoming mental challenges like riddles. Some like interpersonal interactions between their character and others, while others like solving mysteries. The more you play the more evident thir preferences become. You should tailor your adventures to their tastes, making sure there is stuff there for everyone. Also, don't let more than a few minutes between go by without you adressing each player. For example if the group of characters split up, shift between them often instead of playing through what happens to one group first, and then the other. The more everyone is involved the better.
Knowing the setting Your descriptions depict what the player character's see, and how the universe functions. In order for that to be consistent you will need to know the setting of the game. If you're new to Masters of the Universe this book describes the setting and there's a read and watchlist if you want more. Don't be afraid to use the images in this book to show to the players to supplement your descriptions. If your already familiar with this world, then it's just about describing your vision.
Acting all non player characters This is no different than being a player, acting out their character. Where it might be tricky are situations where you have several speaking characters or characters that are talking between themselves. In addition to the section on acting in the players part of the book, the best way to easily distinguish between characters is giving them unique voices, ways of speaking, and preparing the dialogue.
Organizing the game This is the practical part, deciding a place to play, deciding on times, making sure evryone is informed and so on. Acting, player knowledge
Playing with kids If you play with young kids you might want to simplify the game more than the basic game does. Read through the basic game for the gist of the rules, then apply the changes below. Create characters normally, but don't bother with skills. When a character want to accomplish something just have them roll a D6 against two difficulties: easy and hard. Easy is 1-4 and hard is 5 and 6. Use your judgement, but generally, if someone has 13 or more in an ability score, doing something based on that is easy, and lower it is hard. For hit points each character has 10. Villains and monsters have a quarter of their Constitution scores. When it comes to things other than the rules, keep it simple, use simple maps (drawn on graph paper), and tokens to make it easier for them to visualize.
Creating a character Follow the steps in that chapter.
This is the end of this Chapter on Keeping, but the Advenures Chapter goes into creating adventures while the Keepers tips and tricks gives lots of practical tips on a lot of the topics covered in this chapter. CHAPTER EIGHT: WHAT'S YOUR CANON?
CANONS (Pre-filmation, Original Mini-comics, Evolving reality, Mini-comics only, Filmation He-Man, Filmation She-Ra, Filmation Power Hour, DC Comics 1980's, Marvel Comics/Star Comics, Ladybird, The New Adventures of He-Man, He-Man, 2002 Carton, 2002 Comicbook, MOTUC, DC Comics 2012, RPG and Head Canon.
Canons This chapter goes into what differs from each canon to the next in mostly general terms while more specific details can be found in the various sections on the worlds and their inhabitants. Some of these canons are entirely self contained while others grew out of, or was additions to previously established events. There are main canons which are the most widely spread ones, and there are smaller canons which were regional. There's a section for each canon about the real life reasons and origins but this is far from a complete historical account. There's a section at the end of this book with suggestions for further reading and watching. If you are a fan of a certain canon, the rules section also has various options and recommendations to simulate the feeling of each canon.
Cast of characters Feel Depiction of the world Real world history
EARLY MINICOMICS Cast of characters: He-Man, Man-at-arms, Teela, Godess, Beast-Man, Stratos, Mer-man, Skeletor, Zodak, Battle Cat and the Spirit of Grayskull are all that figure. Feel: This canon is sword and sorcery inspired, the same genre as Conan the Barbarian, with some technology thrown in. The adventures here really centers around the protection of Castle Grayskull from Skeletor. Depiction of the world: We don't get to see much of the Universe beyond Castle Grayskull, but we learn that The Great War devastated Eternia and created portals in reality allowing beings from other dimensions access to the planet. The level of civilization seem to be at best medieval, with the addition of a few technological items and vehicles, probably leftovers from the war and the time before it. While there is some landscapes that are similar to earths there are also differences, especially in the plant life, and the planet has at least three moons. Real world history: The Mini-comics came with the action figures. The first four were written as illustrated story-books and some were created during the early development of the action figure line. As such there are contradictions within them, such as Stratos being evil at first, colors of characters not matchning and so on. This RPG in its descriptions does not include the early mistakes.
LATER MINICOMICS Cast of characters: In addition to the previous cast, new characters are introduced, in order they are: Sorceress, King Randor, Queen Marlena, Ram-Man, Tri-Klops, Man-E-Faces, Trap Jaw, Feel: The level of technology is more generic medieval and shows more civilization. The stories themselves are similar in scope to the predecessor. Depiction of the world: After the Filmation cartoon started some elements of that show started showing up in the minicomics but the minicomics were still a world of their own. There doesn't seem to be any effort to create a real continuity in some regards and the writers and artist sometimes had access to different reference so some mistakes continued to be made by the same creators. Real world history: The minicomics started becoming comic books instead of story books.
FILMATION Cast of characters: He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Battle Cat, Orko, Ram Man and Stratos are some of the mainstays but almost all of the people in the Character section shows up here. Feel: While there are some dangerous monsters and beings out to destroy life on Eternia, the heroes always manage to save the day without any killing or harm beyond a few bruised villains and beasts. For many people (most perhaps) this is the one version that trumps the rest. Each episode of this animated tv-series had an end segment where the moral of the episode is explained. Depiction of the world: The Universe is a vast place with lots of inhabited planets, dimensions and strange places. Eternia, while Earth-like and inhabited by humans is depicted as having a really alien looking landscape with strange plants and animals. The level of civilization while very varied shows a lot of technological equipment, especially in the Kingdom of Eternia. Real world history: Filmation agreed to produce a cartoon for Mattel's toy line, based in part by Michael Halperin's Masters of the Universe bible. They produced one series of Masters of the Universe and one of She-Ra.
MYP Cast of characters Feel Depiction of the world Real world history: This canon is presented by a cartoon by Mike Young Productions and a Comicbook published by X and Image Comics. It expanded greatly on the setting and characters.
Classics Cast of characters Feel Depiction of the world Real world history: The Classics canon is a toyline started in 2008 which sought to create a unified canon from all of the different sources. The story was told through biographies on the backs of the toy packaging and through some maps.
Early DC Comics Cast of characters Feel Depiction of the world Real world history

Head canon This is used to describe a person's own internal canon. For example some people don't like that Queen Marlena is from Earth. They might like a certain canon that includes that fact but disregard just that part.
RPG Cast of characters: Almost every character from this book. Feel: The goal of the RPG canon was to recreate the feel of the original minicomics but acknowledging as much as possible of what came next. The RPG canon also adds a lot of information in order to make it easier for new Game Masters to start up a campaign. Unlike the Classics canon there's no effort to take everything and trying to make everything fit and make sense. Instead I've chosen what I like, and what I think are interesting aspects of other canons. Depiction of the world: The Universe is a vast place and most places are in similar states as Eternia which is a post-apocalyptic world with a great deal of hope for the future and lots of opportunities for adventurers to help rebuild civilization.

The setting of this game is vast. It's just not a single planet, there's plenty of them, and other dimensions too, some filled with their own planets. There's time travel, worlds between worlds, there's anything you can imagine. Let's try to make sense of it all. We'll work our way from big to small.
What dimensions are In this game a dimension is any truly separate place with it's own set of natural laws which you can't reach by conventional means. Our entire universe, the one with our planet, our solar system and all its galaxies is one dimension. Other dimensions exist that may be smaller or larger, that may have the same natural laws or be totally foreign. Eternia exists in the same dimension as our Earth, but the dimension of Despondos where Hordak was trapped once is a totally different place. You can't travel to another dimension through any normal means, like walking, flying starships or even teleporting. You need a machine or magic item, or ability that can open either a direct portal, or open access to the Travel corridor. The Travel corridor is a dimension with the unique feature that you can use it to travel to any other dimension. It's like a central station between dimensions. Sometimes the word multiverse is used to describe the totality of all dimensions. Dimensions lie within different astral zones, and Trolla and Eternia are in different ones. The exact meaning of what an astral zone is is unknown apart from the fact that the further apart the zones are, the harder it is for magic of one zone to function in the other.
Sidebar The regular meaning of dimensions Dimensions on our earth is what we use to describe our world. Height, width and depth are the common 3 dimensions that describe a lot of what we see with our own eyes. Time is considered a fourth dimension.
Within dimensions Without making this into an astronomy section, the largest dimensions include entire universes. That means galaxies, stars, planets and so on. This text assumes you know what those are. On the other end of the spectrum, a dimension can be really small, like just enough to imprison one being. The rest of this chapter details all known dimensions, stars, planets and moons. The information here should be enough for a long time but there's still an entire section on creating your own dimensions and all they can contain later. Known dimensions and universes
The Travel corridor While more a maze than a corridor this place has one huge rootlike central structure that has dimensional doors here and there. Gravity here is centered to this structure and is normal earth gravity along its entire surface. While you can travel it as you wish it is much wiser to have a plan of action as it is very easy to get lost or end up somewhere really dangerous. Some portals are invisible to the naked eye, and some are closed and require some special way of opening them. Dimensions are generally grouped together and there are usually several openings into various places of the same dimension. Even though there are many beings that can access the corridor the chance of ever meeting someone else is slim due to its incredible vastness.
Despondos Despondos is described as a dark and terrifying dimension. Unlike other dimensions it's possible to summon it by setting up a portal to it. It will then slowly start to seep into the new dimension, and if unstopped consume it entirely until it becomes a permanent part of Despondos.
The Timeless Domain of Trolla Trolla is the home of the Trollans, a race of small, hovering humanoids that all use magic. While there is a definitive ground to the dimension, a lot of things are backwards or upside down compared to the majority of other places. Rainbows are upside down, magical spells must be said backwards for example. Known dangers include monsters such as large amfibious snakes, and lizards. Trolla has a strange feature in The bottomless hole of Trolla, a hole with no end.
Eternian dimension This is where you find Eternia, Earth, the Horde empire, most of the places the game is centered around. Normal laws of nature apply unless magic has altered them.

Moving and still bridges connects some of the parts and at least one portal or intradimensional tunnel exist that transport people to another part of the dimension which seem different from the rest. Here trees grow upside down and waterfalls flow upwards. It has at least one type of monster in it. FILMATION: Appears in ”Taking of Grayskull”.

Maps (Eternos, Eternos palace, Eternia, Etheria, Castle Grayskull, Snake Mountain, The Fright Zone) CIVILIZATIONS A civilization is a group of people, its geographical reach, its culture and common history. This chapter discusses some basic concepts of a civilization and how its used in the game. Note that a comprehensive explanation of historical periods are beyond the scope of the game, and there are many generalizations in this chapter. History and archeology is a living science and new tools and discoveries may change what we understand of history.
This game has civilizations that range from unorganized family groups to highly advanced technological and magical societies. We use broad descriptive levels that makes it easy to know what a civilization is like. The first concerns technology and law, the second society and art.
Levels of technology In order to quickly get across information about the various realms, cities, planets and dimensions we use sets of levels describing technological advancement, type of government, allegiances using only a few words that are used throughout the game. This section describes what those words mean.
Levels of civilization There are eight levels of civilization which describes the average level of technological advancement. This is used together with all equipment lists to show what is available to buy or manufacture. Civilization also means advancements in the types of government known. STONE AGE A stone age civilization comprises family groups and tribes that survive on gathered plants and hunted animals. Stone and bone tool use is the first sign of civilization, as is language, paintings, carvings, and pottery. The most advanced technology of this time are bows, snares, farming and nets. Spoken languages are fairly common but very simple and regional and written language is exceedingly rare. Shelters are usually natural and people are often nomadic, moving with the weather and the main food animals. As farming, and the taming of animals become more common towards the more advanced stage of this age, year round shelter also becomes more common. The very first cities develop but rarely survive as a year or two of drought forces people to move on in order to survive. People practice rituals. Examples of this type of civilization is the Eternian tribe which Mini-comics He-Man came from and most beast-men tribes. Tribal civilizations are common across the planets of the universe and they can exist side by side with higher civilizations, like they do on ours. On Earth, the stone age begun 3,3 million years ago and ended 8000 years ago at the earliest and while the vast majority of humans have advanced beyond this stage there are still tribes that are on this level.
Eternia has had two long stone ages, one long before the great war and one after the end of the great war.
DAILY LIFE IN THE STONE AGE Gathering food is the main daily activity. The capable hunt edible animals by direct attacks with weapons such as axes and spears if neccessary. If possible they instead set traps or use bows if available. Those that are not fit enough to participate in hunts gather other food stuffs, fruits, vegetables and eggs. The elderly take care of the smallest children. When food is plentiful, time is taken to care for tools, clothes and equipment. Time together is also filled with stories, song and games. At some time of the years rituals are held near landmarks of significance, sometime man made. BRONZE AGE In the bronze age people are usually stationary. Trade develops and is usually formalized and some basic food used as the basic measurement of trade. Coins become more common over time, but are mostly used in cities or by merchants. Travel and trade between cities becomes common thanks to domesticated animals, wagons and ships. Not everyone has to work to live and societies usually develop some sort of hierarchy. While the majority of people will still be involved in providing food, there is enough demand for skilled labor and artisans. Religions starts to become more formalized. To help with organization written systems with widespread use develops. On Eternia both religions with connections to existing spiritual forces and those that are just imagination and myths exist. Mechanical constructs are the most advanced of the technologies of this age. Cranes, windmills, damworks exist, and the use of bronze, and later other metals allow for more durable constructions, more lethal weapons and more efficient protection. Most civilizations are ruled by meritocracy, dictatorship or a monarchy. An example of such a civilization is the Pelites.
Eternia has had two bronze ages, one before the Great war and one after. A lot of civilizations on Eternia is of this civilization level. HIGH CLASSICAL/IRON AGE At the height of the classical age advanced mechanical machines aid the people. Wind and waterpower is used to power elevators, trains and similar. Philosophers think up new types of government and ways to interact with the world. MEDIEVAL The medieval age saw the development of religions into very formalized structures and sometimes into rulers of countries. Land ownership is the main basis for wealth and power. Laws are usually thorough, but there's no equality in the law. Naval vessels become better and sturdier allowing for the circumnavigation of planets. Wind and water provide most of the needed power. Steel becomes the hardest known construction material and the main metal used for weapons and personal protection. This is the level of civilization of the most developed countries of Eternia and Etheria. INDUSTRIAL In the industrial age, industries provides many of the basics of a comfortable life, and monetary systems replace trade almost entirely. Energy comes from wind, water, steam, electricity and fossil fuels. As more people work less, spare time becomes the main focus of life, leading to hobbies and manufacturers to try and target other areas than just the neccessities of life. Machines become part of life, first in factories and later in people's homes. ATOMIC The atomic age, like the one on Earth now, means that nuclear power can replace most other energy forms. Advances in electronics leads to advances in all sciences and people living in such an era can lead carefree lives. Most diseases can be cured, understanding of nature is very high.
FUSION Fusion makes energy abundant and pave the way for a way of life where everything might be provided for someone living in such societies. This is where space travel takes off, where medical science can make people live forever, artificial life becomes indistinguishable from organic. The pre-war Eternians were at the high end of this level, and the main Horde Empire is currently in the Fusion age. FANTASTIC This is technology as magic. Computer systems can predict anything, running all basic functions of society and life in order for people to do what they feel like. Teleportation from world to world, knowledge of the history of the universe and beyond, dimensional travel, eternal life, regular interactions with other intelligent species, mind travel, telepathy. The only known instance of such a high technology level is Zodak and some of his equipment. RELIGION There are several different religions in the Universe. Those of Earth are not detailed here. Instead this chapter details those that are unique to this setting.

NATIONS Kingdoms Democracies Meritocracy Dictatorship THE WORLD OF ETERNIA Eternia is divided into the Light and Dark hemisphere and while both get equal amounts of daytime the weather systems on the dark side results in a heavier cloud cover. The clouds mixes with ashes from the many active volcanoes and the end result is that on an average day the dark hemisphere is rather gloomy and cloudy. Several varied realms are spread over its continents, some are no more than tribal areas while others are large kingdoms. Most realms are home to a single species or group of closely related species but there are some more inclusive ones as well. Even within each realm it varies between regions. Eternia is sparsely populated, usually there's pockets of civilization with large areas of wilderness between them. Eternias landscapes are usually unique, with twisted cliffs, strange crystalline structures and such permeating the planet but a few areas are similar to what can be seen on Earth. Eternia's crust is honeycombed with caverns. FILMATION: Eternia has three continents, with two on the light side and one mostly in the dark. RPG: Eternia has six continents. North and South Helmar is on the light side and Dorom is mostly on the dark side. MOTUC: After the creation of the Five Dimensions, the Gods hid all of their magic deep within the core of a small planet in the center of the dimension of Eternia. Here, in the form of a star, it was guarded by the giant Procrustus. Over the centuries the magic slowly seeped out, blessing many wise Eternian wizards with the power to control and tap into these great magic energies. Sensing the planet Eternia was the secret location of the God’s magic, the Unnamed One bred an army of Snake Warriors to raid it, hoping to seize the magic for his revenge. Although his servant King Hssss conquered Eternia for three centuries, the Great Wars against King Grayskull and the Horde invaders eventually ended Hssss’ reptilian rule. During these Wars, He-Ro’s techno virus spread across the planet, infecting Eternia and causing it to stand out in the Universe as a planet mixed with both magic and technology. Gifted with the Wisdom of Ages, The Elders of Grayskull secretly know that the twin warriors of the Great Prophecy would one day be born on their planet. Therefore, they made a secret bargain with Trolla. In return for keeping the Power Sword of He on Eternia, one member of the Elders was to join the Cosmic Enforcers, beings tasked with maintaining neutrality throughout the Universe. The sword was then split in two and hidden, awaiting a time when worthy heirs would reclaim it, channeling it’s power and their wisdom to transform into heroic Masters of the Universe, fulfilling the prophecy to defeat the Horde Empire and restore peace to the Universe.
All realms are described in the same format as follows: Capital: This names the capital or capitals, and the type of settlement it is.Village, town, city Population describes the number of people and what species or cultures that makes up the population. Rule describes how the realms is governed and the basics of its laws and attitude of its people. Tehnological level: This describes what technology is available in the realm. A general description is followed by sections for trade, festivities, local customs, religions and so forth. Finally there's a section that describes unusual features, ruins and other things that interests adventurers. ETERNIA MAP
NATIONS OF ETERNIA
ETERNIA, KINGDOM OF Capital: Eternos (city) Population: Around 10000 live in the city proper, another 20000 in the near vicnity and a total of 100000 in the country. 85% human, 10% gar and the rest a mix of friendly species. FILMATION: The population is probably ten times larger. Rule: Kingdom with inherited titles. Laws built on trust and belief in inherit goodness of people. Harshest penalties is imprisonment, exile or forced labour. Technological level: FILMATION: Medieval, with pockets of lower and higher levels. Higher levels are rare, and in some cases just singular items. RPG:
FILMATION: The main and largest kingdom of the planet, Eternia is a bastion for good. Eternias lead in technology has allowed them to settle or help settle colonies on the planets moon, stave off most common predators and the machinations of evil conquerors. Most of the population are hard workers, fishermen, hunters, farmers, people who live of the land. Most of the country is forested with plains to the north and south. The central parts are cleared and is mostly farmland around villages. The town of Eternos is the capital and its central location makes it a hub for trade not only for the country but for the whole continent. It and its palace has grown with the expansion of the country and is the largest town on the continent in terms of population size. The palace is the grandest modern building and has been continually expanded upon since it's founding. (RPG: 200 years ago.) It's almost a small city unto itself. It houses the royal family, the royal guard, the town guard and the army, royal stables, (FILMATION/STAR COMICS: the Eternian rail station), the workshop of Man-at-Arms and (RPG: the council chamber of the elite band of heroic warriors, the Masters). RPG: The Kingdom of Eternos (and not Eternia) was built up by the ancestors of the current rulers of the country and their allies. The kingdom is relatively young and split off from its parent country during the expansionist phase of the Herion Empire. The split was amicable and relations are still good between the countries. People flocked to Eternos as the new frontier and a place for lovers of freedom and it's still a land that values freedom of the people and of individuals. Its borders are established to the north and east while the others are not contested but a lawless no- mans-land, a wild frontier. Over the course of a long campaign (or in game, a few decades) it should go from being pretty much medieval with a smattering of electronic devices to something close to what the Filmation series depict. There's a future timeline later in the book. RPG: Trade is mostly barter but coin is used when needed. Traders usually accept any modern coins and Eternos mints its own currency since 20 years back. Ancient coins are worth three times the modern coin value because of larger size and purer metals. Eternos has the largest market for ancient artifacts but harmful items and weapons are not allowed and has to be turned in to the state. A finder's fee is paid out in these cases. Man-at-Arms investigates these and in some cases puts them to use. Trade RPG: Eternos trades with all free people and good natured species. In the central parts of Eternos traders come and go as they please but near the wilder areas they travel in larger, guarded caravans. Eternos is self-sustaing in food stuffs and most metals but import some specialty goods from across the world.
Festivities RPG: Eternians in general have one holiday per month during which villages have dances, contests and the like. Once every half year is Goddess day which is spent in prayer or ceremonies in her honor. Additionally there are the following days celebrated in Eternos City: King Randor's day, Queen Marlena's day, King Miro's day. The first two are on the tail end of a five day feast with tournaments, official announcements and balls. King Miro's day is at least a day long and is where King Randor and Queen Marlena sees citizens from across the country to hear grievances, answer pleas for help and so on in person. It goes on for as long as needed.
Mythology Eternians believe the Goddess, one of several good gods.
Local customs The basis of life in Eternia is cooperation for the benefit of all. People are generally friendly towards everyone, helpful and organized. People who don't fit that description are usually avoided.
Military Eternia has several military units. Border rangers patrol the wilder areas, mounted patrols guard the more dangerous roads, and small troops patrol the entire country. Some villages have their own guards and troops but most rely on the regular units. The rangers, mounted patrols and troops are the main military force. In addition to this is the royal guards that are stationed in the capital. They consist of sveral types of units trained for different types of combat. They have normal and mounted archers, trident men, infantry, cavalry and small specialized units that use equipment supplied by Man-At-Arms. They are led by their captain, Teela.

Technology level: Mostly medieval with some industrial. (FILMATION) Occasional atomic level of technology.
Avions borders are not exact except their border with the Andreenids. The township is clearly defined but there has never been any need for drawing borders on map since the mountains are sparsely populated and food and other necessities are in good supply. Avion is a mix of natural caves, avion made caves and external structures with the vast majority living on the surface and most of the caves used for storage or the rare emergency. The majority of people are in agriculture with plenty of hunters as well. About 10 percent of the population work with something else with an unusual amount of people involved in the technology field. Avion was lucky to come out of the Great War better than many others and to have found lots of working technology. Thanks to that they have been able to maintain and create items that put them ahead in the field.
Trade Avion is self sustaining so the little trade there is focuses on unique luxuries or technology. Most of the trade is with the Kingdom of Eternos.

DESERTS
Aridan city desert
Burning Desert This sand desert has no accessible water.
SANDS OF TIME This vast stone and sand desert has many places of interest in it. Once a fertile land, it has been the home of many civilizations, some that survive in other regions and many that have totally disappeared. The region became a desert when a civilization of giants left the planet for their home world. Today it is one of the most dangerous places on Eternia. Evil people from across the planet gather here as bands of bandits and highwaymen. Dangerous giant animals prowl the dunes, and crumbling ruins create unseen sinkholes. Sandstorms. Worst of all are the dangerous temporal vortices that sometime appear and snatch people away and deposit them in some other time. The following places of interest lie within the desert: Temple of the Sun, Temple of Darkness, House of Shokoti, The Eye of Chaos and Giant City. FILMATION: The name comes from all the old civilizations swallowed by the desert. LADYBIRD: The name comes from the existance of time vortexes that transport things and people to the past. GERMAN AUDIO: The name probably comes from the fact that the winds in the regions might transport beings to other time periods. East of CG and Evergreen forest. Time vortex A time vortex looks like a tornado that shimmers in different colors. They move randomly across the landscape and last between 5 minutes and an hour.
WASTELANDS Within the Evergreen Forest is this large wastelands with scarcely no water, few plants and strangely still air. This is where Castle Grayskull stands. Most of the landscape is barren rock, sharp cliffs and patches of cracked stone and clay. FILMATION: Source canon.
FORESTS
EVERGREEN FOREST A vast forest which surrounds the wastelands where Castle Greyskull stands. A part of the forest is called the Widget Woods. FILMATION: Source canon.
FORGOTTEN FOREST Kept by the treeprechaun Tollamar, this is where Skytree, the planets oldest plant stands. FILMATION: Source canon.
CRYSTAL FOREST Home to the Cave Dwellers and the Tree People. FILMATION: Source canon. RPG: Named after a series of crystal structures near its southern edge.
Dark Wood
MYSTICAL FOREST Home to the guardian mushrooms and at least one species of man-eating flowers, this is considered a relatively safe area and Teela sometimes takes royal guard trainees in the early teens to learn some basic skills. The main danger of the forest is that it is relatively close to Snake mountain. FILMATION: Source canon.

MOUNT KRONA FILMATION: Source canon. Near Eternos palace and fertile plains. CASTLE GRAYSKULL
Castle Greyskull is one of the most important places of the Masters of the Universe world. It holds the secrets of the Universe and someone with those secrets can become the Master of the Universe. As such it is always in danger of evil forces looking to gain entrance.
FILMATION: MYP: RPG: The castle is a magical building with a mind of its own. It's not really intelligent, but rather aware and reacts by instinct. It can grow and shrink, and change location, and inside rooms can move around and items within them can appear and disappear. While the characters may visit the castle fairly often during a campaign make sure to play up the mystery and uncertainty and have things change between or during each visit. The origin of the castle is left open, a perennial mystery if you like. It's your game and if you decide it to have nothing to to with some secret to the Universe it doesn't. It could just be a red herring. There might not even be a secret. Classics: Long Ago, in ages past at the end of the Great Wars the Cosmic Warrior He-Ro joined forces with King Grayskull. Their combined might became a beacon of hope, bringing together the greatest warriors from across Preternia. Together, this band of warriors bacme the first Masters of the Universe, fighting against the Horde and Snake Men invaders. Heroically sacrificing himself to save King Grayskull's life, He-Ro passed his magical sword to the King, ensuring only those with great strength, courage, wisdom, and compassion would wield the sword of He. To safeguard the sword's power source and protect the Kingdom, King Grayskull ordered a great fortress erected. With the help of the giants, this mighty fortress was constructed first from a single enchanted stone, which was sculpted into a giant Power Skull. Later, towers and walls were erected around the Skull Stone and the fortress was protected by the magic of the Elders. After the King's death, his fortress would remain, fading from memory into legend, but always protecting the hidden power of the Universe and the secrets of Eternia from evil. Mini-comics:
Rooms The rooms and other areas of the castle are described below. Behind the name of the room are the canon names so you know in which canons they are known to exist.
Forge of Power This is where the swords of Power and Honor were forged (and can be reforged), and where even corodite items like He-Man's armour can be forged in order to give it special abilities.
Techno throne room This throne room is one of three throne rooms and is usually situated above the upper dungeon. The throne itself is a metal construct from which you can control some of the technology in the castle. The throne itself can rotate to offer the one sitting in it a good view as well as change the height and shape of the back. One of the functions of the throne is to open a trap door in the middle of the room. Another is to shoot a beam of jolting energy that can render even He-Man unconscious. A third is to active and direct an army of armors that can pick up weapons and attack, as long as the one operating the throne wields the Power sword. Along the walls are several computer panels of unknown origins and usage except some that are clearly used for outer surveillance. There's also an empty technological suit left over from an earlier civilization.
Sorceress throne room After the decision to house a guardian in castle grayskull, this has been their throne room. Usually the throne room is the last room after the chamber of pillars and the entry chamber when He-Man and the guardians friends and allies comes to visit. Chamber of pillars

THE WORLD OF ETHERIA There are three main canons for the world, making it a relatively simpler place to describe. Mini-comics: FILMATION Netflix: RPG: Etheria was for a long time trapped in another dimension but is now in the same universe as Eternia. MOTUC: Beautiful Planet of Despondos. After the Overlords of Trolla harnessed the aura of the Gods, they used this "Power of the Universe" to become immortal and vowed to maintain neutrality in all Five Dimensions. Sensing how dark the Dimension of Desponso was, they used the Power to create a being of formless light and sent him to Despondos to bring hope to those trapped there. It settled on the Planet Etheria, turning the small planet into a lush paradise, standing out in an otherwise dark dimension. Protected by magic, Etheria remained a home for free beings until Hordak discovered it during his banishment. Overthrowing the local monarchs, he declared Etheria his new homeworld and ruled for years as it's tyrannical dictator.

Terra Continent Artifacts An artifact in this sense is an extremely powerful, and most often a unique, magic item. Artifacts are extremely rare and no more than one should show up in an adventure. They are best used sparingly, and as quest items, and to be used once in order to solve a problem. Solving that problem should also mean the end of the artifact, or the emptying of its power. They should not be used as a common resource for the player characters. If one ends up in their hands as a permanent item, there's a section on how to solve that problem after the descriptions. The one exception to this is of course any artifact created as part of character creation. While they might be unique, they won't be extremely powerful and warrant extreme measures.
Staff of Avion (FILMATION) The staff of Avion is a golden staff of unknown origin. It is named after its current location with the bird-men of Avion where it's used once a year to start a festival with magical fireworks. It can also be used to see weak points in crystal. If used for evil it will explode within approximately one hour, and the explosion is powerful enough to destroy half of Eternia.
Emerald staff of Avion (Mini-comics)
Diamond of Disappearance This magical diamond is one of several (last, or lost?) that when seen by living beings will make them disappear into a timeless dimension. The higher the life form or the more powerful the longer it takes, but it's just a matter of seconds. A ray will shoot out, and energy will engulf the victim. The last one is believed to be destroyed by He-Man. The diamond was usually kept within a box.
Starseed A yellow crystal ball with glimmering insides, this is one of the most powerful items in the Universe. It is a remnant of the Big Bang, the event that created this Universe and as Eternia is at its center, the Starseed used to be there. It gives the user the power to do almost everything like move mountains and make people disappear forever. The seed has a dark side and any mortal that holds it will be tempted by its power to do evil things. It's current whereabouts is unknown since Zodak took custody of it after He-Man took it out of its resting place.
Shaping Staff This magical staff can transform any living matter into something else and project images through the center of its ring shaped top. If damaged the spells it projects will backfire on the wielder. The staff was well known but thought lost until found in a cave near the Crystal Sea by Evil-Lyn. It was broken by He-Man.
Grimalkin This statue of a cat was used to imprison a powerful cat demon. If it is released it can only be imprisoned again if the power of the storm is used.

SPECIAL ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS OF PEOPLE This section describes all the various groups of people that are centered around ideals and goals rather than geography. Each group is unique so there are no standard form that describes them.
The elders
The ancients The ancients are generally understood to be the people living on Eternia before the Great War.
The first ones
COUNCIL OF ELDERS This was a council of highly regarded people of various species in the time before the Great War. Members were voted in by the world's government and served as councillors to the government and to important institutions. Most all of them were highly intelligent, wise, experienced and personable but there were exceptions at some times. Even alien species were on the seat as there was no prejudice present. They were the ones responsible for using the Eternity bomb that ended the Great War and their civilization. The spirit of grayskull is the combined minds of the last council.
ETERNIAN COUNCIL This council gathers the leaders of the so called free lands, those countries that together face the threat of Skeletor. At the current time that includes Eternos, Avion, the Andreenids, the Ice Kingdom and the moon colonies. The hope is that through diplomacy this will increase to include all free nations. MYP:
The armies of the alliance against Skeletor THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE The Masters of the Universe are a group of individuals who are superb at what they do and several have really unique abilities or equipment (Specialties). The group has no one leader and they assemble under the leadership of whomever called the group together at the time. Usually this is done in reply to a threat to the free peoples of the planet. Occasionally they will do proactive work and then they are usually called by Man-at-Arms or Teela. Most of the Masters work for Eternos in their downtime, helping the guard and army, patrolling the country while some are rulers of other countries and usually at home. The group in its various incarnations has helped stop Skeletor, the Snake Men and the Evil Horde among many other threats. The Masters are He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Stratos, Ram Man, Man-e-Faces, Syklone, Buzz- Off, Moss-Man, Roboto, Fisto, Stonedar, Rokkon, Mekanek, Clamp Champ, Snout Spout, Extendar and Fearless Photog.

Mini-comics: Originally the title of Masters of the Universe was bestowed upon He-Man, Teela and Man-at-Arms by the Spirit of Grayskull after they defended the castle from Skeletor. RPG: The Masters of the Universe are simply called The Masters, while Masters of the Universe refers to those that understand and gain the Power of Grayskull. Campaign use: The player characters could work for or become members of the Masters. This would be a good setup that makes the motivation of the characters easy, for why they go on adventures and takes on missions.
The armies of the Kindom of Eternia
SKELETOR'S CIRCLE OF EVIL Skeletor usually keeps his own council but like the Masters he sometimes gathers other evil-doers together to get their feedback, and gain access to expertise that he lacks.

MOTUC: In the heavily populated outer systems of the Eternian Dimension, the Democratic Alliance was set up to enforce the trade routes and keep the peace. All of this changed the day Seferus Kur came to power and founded the Horde Empire. Calling himself the Horde Lord, he and his sons used technology and newly discovered magic to unnaturally extend the lives of those they commanded. Ruling the galaxy through terror and fear for many centuries, Seferus’ sons used black spells to assassinate their father, and the eldest son Anillis claimed Hordeworld’s throne for himself. To secure his rule, the newly dubbed Horde Prime sent his scheming younger brother roar away on a foolish crusade of revenge. Eventually, the Earth/Eternian Twin Warriors invaded Horde World and in a climactic battle, ended the Horde Empire’s rule using the Power of Grayskull.
THE SNAKE MEN The snake men were genetically engineered by the Unnamed One and some of them were chosen to lead their peers. Those are King Hiss and his close associates.

Several battalions of Snake Men were assigned to the Viper Lord King Hssss and traveled with him to Eternia to plunder its hidden magic for their formless master. Unprepared for an attack by invading Horde armies, the Snake Army was driven into hibernation and eventually, trapped in the Void by the warrior Zodak. Five millennia later, Hssss and his reptile army escaped their imprisonment and once again took up the fight to claim Eternia. Snake Men fight loyally in the armies King Hiss-- against the heroic Masters of the Universe.

Challenged and eventually defeated by a champion of the north, the Fighting Foe men were cast into a glacier and magically frozen for over five thousand years. Eventually, they were discovered by Hordak who returned to Eternia and set them free in return for serving in his army during the Second Ultimate Battleground.
Space Mutants The space mutants was a band of evil mutants gathered under Flogg. Members: Skeletor, Karatti, Optikk.
Darksmoke Dragons PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE This section describes many of the characters that have appeared in various media over the years. Some characters are described in great detail while others have only their game statistics presented. For more information on those that lack detail, please refere to the X by Dark Horse, he-man.org's database or their media. Good characters have their name in blue, evil characters in red and neutral characters in grey. The list is alphabetical with the names in their most commonly used form, with or without a title, so for example Queen Angella is found under Q instead of A, while Captain Sea Hawk is found under S instead of C. HE-MAN
Location: Eternia, mainly within the Kingdom of Eternia. Description: He-Man is the most powerful man in the universe. He is a strong and well trained combatant that tries to do good where he can and battles evil wherever it is. While He-Man has a normal level of intelligence, he is a quick study and has great memory. He learns from his mistakes, and gladly takes advice from those that are better than him at some things. He is kind hearted, friendly, has a great pathos and a high level of empathy. He feels most at home in nature and loves the company of his close friends. He is romantically attracted to Teela. Early Mini-Comics: He-Man came from a primitive tribe and set out from his jungle home in order to protect Castle Grayskull and the planet from the forces of evil. He discovered the Goddess being attacked by a beast, and with his bare hands stopped it from attacking her further. As a reward and claiming he was a prophezised legendary warrior, the Goddess gave him items and equipment from centuries before the Great Wars. This includes a harness that projects a forcefield that protects him, and a harness that give him strength enough to punch through rock. A shield, boots, belt, arm bands and axe completes He-Mans basic equipment. He sometimes also carries a knife in his boot. He uses the Battle Ram, Wind Raider or Battle Cat to get about. He lives in a stone house in a valley some miles from Castle Greyskull. His adventures centers on stopping Skeletor, mainly from gaining the power of Greyskull. He will eventually be the true king of Castle Greyskull. Mini-Comics: He-man uses Falcon to send messages to the Goddess. As Adam one of his hobbies is uncovering mysteries of the ancient ruins of the planet. He is joined in this interest by Fisto. FILMATION: He-Man is a more powerful version of Prince Adam, the son of Queen Marlena and King Randor and operates out of Eternos palace. Him being He-Man is a secret to most people and he essentially fakes incompetence and cowardice as Adam. Adam transforms into the He-Man form and look by raising the Sword of Power up high and uttering ”By the power of Grayskull...I have the Power!” In the middle of that sentence lightning will strike him and he will change his form. Adam is mentored by Man-at-Arms and gets many of his missions from the Sorceress. He-Man believes in non violence and in not killing anyone and will try to solve any problem with his mind and words. He is known by most people in Eternia and it's nearby regions. Most of He-Mans life is spent as Adam but there are many times during his life where some threat to him, the Kingdom, the world, the Sorceress and his friends requires him to take action. During his lifetime he is the main obstacle for any evil that would try to do harm to the planet and its inhabitants. He-Man is able to break the fourth wall and directly acknowledge the presence of the viewer. MYP: He-man is 16. MOTUC: A direct descendent of the legendary King Grayskull, Prince Adam of Eternia was chosen to protect his ancestor’s Power Sword from evil. At first he used a techno vest with a built-in force field to fight evil, but Adam has since learned to combine both halves of the Power Sword, using it to channel the energy of the Elders and become He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe! He guards the safety of all Eternia along side the heroic Masters of the Universe. To adapt to new enemies and situations, Adam has learned to tap further into the great power which his sword unlocks. The combined Power of the Universe and the Knowledge of the Elders is used by Adam to imagine and create new forms of armor and weapons to combat evil. His BATTLE ARMOR was created to protect He-Man during his early battles with Skeletor and his evil warriors. Using the Power of Grayskull, He-Man The Most Powerful Man In The Universe is now shielded by his mighty BATTLE ARMOR. Using the combined power of the Central Tower with the newly created Cosmic Key. The Sorceress disguised He-Man and sent him back to Preternia - A time where his ancestor, King Grayskull fought for freedom against the Horde invaders and Snake Men from the Nameless Dimension. Quickly allying himself with Grayskull and the wizard- warrior, He-Ro. He-Man aided them in many battles. Even turning the tide of the first Ultimate Battleground. During this battle he learned the secret to defeating the Snake Men and with this knowledge returned to his own time to finally stop King Hssss once and for all. Disguised in a cloak and mask, He-Man cannot reveal his true identity to his own ancestor! After his trip to Preternia, He-Man returned to his own time period with the hidden knowledge of the Snakemen's one true weakness. Together, with the new Sorceress and his twin sister, Adora, He- Man and the Renegade Masters of the Universe planned a final strike against all who opposed freedom. The heroes forged an uneasy alliance with Skeletor and his Evil Warriors, and clashed against the Snakemen and Horde warriors on the fields of Central Tower during the Second Ultimate Battleground. Powered by the Orb of Grayskull, Flying Fists He-Man repelled his serpentine villains with his fist-flinging power! When Skeletor banished Randor to Despondos, he used Faker to convince the royal court that He- Man was not only a Gar, but also responsible for the King's "death." This ruse turned the people of Eternia against He-Man and the Masters soon became renegades in their own land. Driving to the underground caves of Tundoria, the Masters reformed as an elite attack squad. They returned to the surface and found not only Skeletor ruling Eternia, but King Hssss and a newly returned Hordak also challenging for control. To enhance his strength for these new battles ahead, He-Man used the Powers of Grayskull to energize his weapons, giving them a new Thunder Punch to combat evil! When the Snake Men returned to Eternia from their banishment in the Void, Adam used the Power of Grayskull to create upgraded armor more adapted to combat his new reptilian enemy. Equipped with a venom-proof shield and a cordite snake pincher. Adam is now fully protected in his Snake Armor, ready to fight off King Hssss and his army of snake warriors! Eventually, Adam was forced to used his armor to battle against his former friend and mentor Duncan who had been hideously transformed by the Serpent's Ring into a Snake Man. Refusing to kill Duncan, Adam's Snake Armor was destroyed by Snake Man-At-Arms' newly invented neutralizer blaster which could disrupt the Power of Grayskull itself! Following the Second Ultimate Battleground, a victorious Skeletor abandoned Eternia after learning of the might of the Horde Empire. Eager to stop his old nemesis, He-Man quickly joined forces with the Galactic Protectors who had arrived through a Laser Gate to seek his aid. Combining his power with that of the Starship Eternia, Adam forsook his alternate identity, becoming He-Man permanently. With the triple strength of the Power of the Universe, the Elder’s Wisdom to tap into hidden magic and now the Energy of Starship Eternia, the Most Powerful Man in the Universe is ready to travel through space to capture Skeletor and bring him to justice! After his sister defeated Horde prime, the threat of Adam’s old enemy Skeletor once more called He-man to one final battle. In an epic duel on the Jaw Bridge of the great Temple of Power on Trolla, He-man at last defeated Skeletor in single combat. Recovering the Vortex Key, He-man could now return to his home world. There he found his queen mother keeping the throne and mourning the passing of King Randor. Taking his rightful place as his father’s heir, Adam became King He-man ruling over all Eternia with his wisdom and strength. He married Teela and together with their son Dare took over his father’s legacy as the new He-ro, defender of Eternia and the wielder of the Sword of Power. In the midst of their final battle with Horde Prime, He-Man and Skeletor simultaneously grabbed the Vortex Key transporting them to Trolla. Finding himself on a world turned upside down, He- Man allied himself with the remaining Defenders of Trolla while Skeletor took command of the Unnamed One's Revenge Squad, which was responsible for decimating much of the planet. Eventually, He-Man and Skeletor met on the Jaw Bridge of the great Temple of Power. Though both were enhanced by the Star Tree's power and the Aura of the Gods, it was He-Man who became the ultimate victor, using the Sword of He to separate Keldor from Demo-Man, seemingly ending the threat of Skeletor forever. RPG: He-Man is Adam, the son of King Randor and Queen Marlena, and was abducted along with his twin sister Adora at age 7 by minions of Hordak. However he was saved by tribal warriors before the Horde could bring the young He-Man to Hordak. Suffering from amnesia he did not know where he came from and was unable to return. He-Man became part of the tribe and after reaching adulthood at age 16 and having regained glimpses of his past, set off to try and find his home again. He encountered the Goddess and gained the pre Great War gear he is famous for and befriended Battle Cat shortly thereafter. Upon finally reaching Eternos he was reunited with his family and his memories restored. He now uses Adam as a disguise to get some down time but spends most of his time as He-Man, travelling the lands, making friends and battling evil. His close friends and family knows his identity. He believes in using combat as a last resort and will actively try to not kill sentient beings. Campaign use: In the timeline for the game He-Man has been active about a decade, and will be active for another before starting to wind down. See the Timelines chapter for exact details. For the characters as long as they don't work out of Eternos city he will start as sort of a modern legend and if you are running a longer campaign, about halfway through he should become a peer and perhaps near the end an equal. If you don't want him to overshadow the characters but still have him in the game either depower him to acceptable levels, or have him close to retirement at the start. He-Man can be a role model, a quest giver or a distant rumour depending on what you want.
Strength: 21, MC: Enough to open Castle Greyskulls jawbridge, more that Teela, MAA, Fisto and Yellow warrior together Agility: 11, F: 16, M: 18 Quickness: 13, F: 20, M: 16 Intelligence: 10, F: 14 Looks: 16 Endurance: 21 Unique items: Mini-comics: Techno harness of Strength The harness gives He-Man an effective Strength score of 250. It also absorbs falls from at least 10 meters. Techno harness of Protection The harness gives He-Man increased protection in the form of a power field. F: No special powers. Bracers of strength The bracers gives He-Man an effective Strength score of 250. Sword of power FILMATION: The sword is what gives Adam the ability to change into He-Man. The sword can deflect magical bolts, withstand the force of meteor impact. Classics: The sword is the Sword of He and enables a chosen guardian to call upon its power to gain various benefits. In Adams case the ability to become He-Man. Axe Shield FILMATION, MYP: Unique abilities: The Power The Power infuses Adam with an unknown power granted by Grayskull that transform him into He- Man. In He-Man form his Strength and Endurance are Endless, but they adapt to the situation, giving He-Man just enough to do what he needs to do. The power also enables some magical connection between He-Man and objects that he touches, enabling him for example to lift an entire mountain without it breaking apart, or the ground beneath to give way. This part of the power cannot be used consciously by He-Man. (In play, the game master, determines what happens and not.) The normal power level of his Strength is just about enough to crush diamonds. Apart from these increased physical attributes, He-Man also becomes very hard to harm, enabling him to punch through heavy materials without breaking bones. This part is semiconscious and is influenced in part by He-Man's mood. If he feels secure, the level of protection is low. This means that he can be knocked unconscious or even killed if caught unawares. If He-man notices his power isn't enough at the moment he can telepathically ask the Sorceress for more. Other specific feats he can accomplish is turning himself into a human tornado to deflect flying vechicles and set them down gently. He can also store and release lightning, but this will usually knock him off his feet. He can whirl his sword fast enough to create winds. He can throw items of about 2 tons weight many miles, taking more than 60 seconds before they land. Wrist gun: this wrist gun is usually hidden in the cuff of Prince Adam's shirt. It shoots rays of fire.

Named a guardian by the spirit of Castle Grayskull. A clone of the goddess made by Skeletor. Can be reabsorbed by the Goddess. Named after her mother. Can enter Castle Grayskull because she is a clone of the Goddess. MOTUC: The adoptive daughter of Duncan, the current Man-At-Arms, Teela grew up in the palace of King Randor. Trained from an early age in the ways of battle, at 18 she became Captain of the Guard, leading Randor’s troops and acting as a defacto member of the Masters of the Universe. She has yet to become aware of her true heritage as the magically cloned daughter, and heir to, the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull. She carries the staff of Ka which was once used by the Snake Men in their epic battles against the Horde and King Grayskull during the Great Wars.Teela uses her magical staff to track her foes every move. After being wounded by King Hssss' venom, the Sorceress of Grayskull knew her time was short. She quickly arranged a mission with Teela to the Elder's training citadel in the Polar Ice Cap. Here, the Sorceress revealed Teela's true heritage, that she was secretly her magically clonded daughter and destined to become the next guardian of the Castle Grayskull and its secrets! Although in a state of disbelief, Teela knew in her heart that her mother spoke the truth, and trained with the Sorceress until the venom overtook her. Returning to Grayskull as the new guardian, Teela uses her new magic to protect the Power of Grayskull and guard the safety of all Eternians. FILMATION: Teela is the child of the Sorceress and an unknown soldier from an earlier conflict. She was adopted by Man-at-Arms because he was better equipped to care for her. She works as the captain of the guards of Eternos Palace and city, the next highest military rank in the country after the King. She is good friends with Prince Adam but believes he doesn't take his duties seriously enough. She does not know that Adam is He-Man and is somewhat enamored with the latter, although she recognizes that they both have good qualities. Teela is probably in her twenties. Canon3 MYP: Teela is 16 years old. It's intimated that her father is either Man-at-Arms or Fisto. RPG: Teela is 28 years old. He-man and Teela are a couple but with all their adventures they rarely have time for each other. When they do they prefer to relax in the wilds. Teela knows He-Man is Adam's secret identity. Marlena and Teela are close, and the royal couple considers her almost as their daughter. Man-at-Arms is her father but this has not been revealed to her yet. CDC: Teela is now the Sorceress after her mother's death. Campaign use: Teela is a good quest giver if the characters are more of a military nature or if that is the focus of the campaign. She can also be a trainer or advice giver for a fighter type character. She can be used as a damsel in distress but there are better choices. Special equipment: Teela has a sword that was made for her by Hermod the smith, as a gift from Randor and Marlena when she got the captaincy of the guard.

SKELETOR Location: Snake Mountain Description: Skeletor is a villain whose main goal is to possess the secret of Castle Greyskull. Early mini-comics: The most evil being on Eternia. A demon from another dimension. Knows about the universe and other planets, times and dimensions. Hopes to marry Teela which he thinks is a beauty, and conquer the Universe together. Mini-comics: Evil and ruthless. Disgusted by goodness. As an alternative to ruling with Teela by his side, he will consider sacrificing her to summon a mighty demon that will give him the power to breach Castle Grayskull's walls. Reaching Castle Grayskull is something he might have trieds 100 times. He wants to learn Sorceress magic. Was a student and high in rank under Hordak, but betrayed and imprisoned him. FILMATION: Mean and cruel but not without a sense of humor, he loves calling his subordinates mean nicknames. Only out for himself. Has his own, evil, dimension. Has slaves (probably not human). MOTUC: Banished from the royal palace, in part due to distrust for the rare blue-skinned Gar race, Prince Keldor became an outcast. He travelled Eternia seeking knowledge and guidance, eventually discovering the ancient Spirit of Hordak. From him, Keldor learned of the dark arts and came to realize that to truly unite Eternia he would need to take command of the planet himself. He gathered an army of fellow outcasts and led them into battle against his brother, Captain Randor. Eventually defeated and near death, Keldor once again turned to Hordak who, in exchange for his own freedom, agreed to save Keldor's life by merging him with Demo-Man, twisting Keldor into Skeletor - Lord of Destruction! Realising his pupil Keldor had no intention of releasing him from Despondos, Hordak merged him with an extra-dimensional being called Demo-Man. While this saved Keldor's life, it also drove him temporarily insane and convinced him to open a portal to Despondos and lead what he thought were "his people" into Eternia. Hordak intended to use this ruse as a means to escape once the portal was opened, but the new merged being "Skeletor" was quickly defeated by Oo-Larr, the Jungle He-Man, and Hordak remained trapped. Soon after, with the help of Evil-Lyn, Skeletor gained control of the powerful spirit inside him, increasing his abilities ten-fold. He was now the true Overlord of Evil and one of the most dangerous men on Eternia! Mortally wounded in battle with his half-brother Captain Randor, Keldor turned to his dark-arts master Hordak to save his life. Hordak merged Keldor with an extra-dimensional being Demo-Man from Despondos, Keldor was forever changed into Skeletor, Overlord of Evil! He gathered together many of Eternia’s greatest outcasts and evil warriors in his quest to gain entry into Castle Grayskull and obtain what he believes is the universe’s ultimate power source. Using dark magic taught by Hordak. Skeletor occasionally creates new forms of armor and weapons to outmaneuver the Masters of the Universe. His Battle Armor was first created to help Skeletor penetrate through the Mystic Wall in order to kidnap Adora and secretly clone the Sorceress of Grayskull. The original armor was destroyed by Oo-larr after three strikes with his mighty battle ax sending Skeletor back behind the Wall. Skeletor reformed the armor 20 years later in a effort to combat a similar battle suit now worn by He-Man. Although lacking the mystic qualities of the original, his new armor was stronger and more powerful. Skeletor, Evil Lord of Destruction is now protected by his magic Battle Armor. As the ruler of Eternia following Randor's banishment, Skeletor created a new magical armor infused with an Eternian Dragon, giving him the power to paralyze his enemies at first glance. His rule was cut short, however, when Skeletor's former master Hordak returned from Despondos with the help of Evil-Lyn. Hordak not only overthrew Skeletor, but drove the Snake Men into hibernation. Forced into a war on multiple fronts, Skeletor continued to lead his Evil Warriors into battle, often having to fight side-by-side with his former enemies - the now renegade Masters of the Universe. Perched on his master's armor, the Evil Dragon "pet" of Skeletor stops his enemies cold with his paralyzing jet spray of venom. In preparation for the Second Ultimate Battleground, Skeletor commissioned a new armor upgrade from his chief weapons master, Spikor. Arming himself with Terror Claws, Skeletor leapt into battle against the Snake Men, Horde Army and the Masters of the Universe. In single combat he slew Gygor, Lord of the Vine Jungle, and eventually fought and mortally wounded his former master. Finishing Hordak off with a magical spell which drained his essence, Skeletor learned of the might of the Horde Empire, and quickly turned his ambitions to the stars. After the battle, Skeletor left Eternia behind in favor of a grander prize - as ruler of the entire Universe! Wounded by Hordak’s final buzz saw attack at the end of the Second Ultimate Battleground, the victorious Skeletor mended his body with a techno virus from Preternia. Having learned of the might of the Horde Empire, he abandoned Eternia in search of a grander prize - the entire Universe! Finding a Laser Gate at the far end of his own galaxy, he passed through it to the Tri-Solar System just above the planet Denebria. It was here he recruited the Horde’s Mutant Army in a plan to lead them in mutiny against the Empire. But Skeletor was followed by He-man, She-ra and many of the Master of the Universe who had themselves allied with the Galactic Protectors. Skeletor now fights a new intergalactic battle; to rule the universe and to destroy He-man once and for all! After taking command of the Unnamed One's Revenge Squad, Skeletor led his all new group of Evil Warriors against the Trollans' defensive stronghold. Breaking into the Temple of Power using Horde Prime's Vortex key, Skeletor absorbed ultimate power from the Star Tree, gaining his Laser Light abilities. Preparing to flee, Skeletor was confronted by his old enemy He-Man on the Jaw Bridge Gate. In their climactic final duel, Skeletor was defeated when He-Man used the Power of Grayskull to separate Keldor from the demon that kept him alive. With a clear mind and in what he thought was his dying breath, Keldor gave his nephew the Vortex Key, asking him to protect Eternia as the true ruler and heir to the throne. (Although lacking any skin, Skeletor’s bony exterior has left him open to oral decay and poor dental hygiene. When his wails of pain become to much, his servants Grizzlor and Beastman have been known to call upon the only known expert in Eternia who can help — Mo-Larr the Eternian Dentist! Quick to forget, Skeletor often loses track of his appointments, distracted by his massage chair and Eternian periodical collection.) RPG: Skeletor is part of a race of demonic beings that mostly share his light blue skin and skeletal head. He is ambitious, intelligent and evil and likes to take a personal part in his schemes which all have one goal. To find the secret of Castle Grayskull and become the sole master of the universe. Skeletor will use whatever means to reach his goal, but he prefers to do it without killing as he wants to rule the universe and he wants as many subjects as possible to lord over. Skeletor was forced into a magic melding of prince Keldor when Keldor was dying from an acid that ate through his face and into his skull. This had the effect of merging Keldors and Skeletors personalities and memories and also making Skeletor's body be only half-demonic and more susceptible to damage. Skeletors body now does not heal or gain nourishment in normal ways and it needs to be sustained through other means. This eventually neccessitates him getting cybernetic implants and other types of replacement parts as functions are lost. Skeletor has a good grasp of both magic and technology as well as a decent knowledge of the multiverse. He uses this to his advantage in his schemes. His biggest weaknesses is lack of patience, and inability to accurately determine the strengths of those that oppose him, believing himself superior to everyone else. Skeletor is intelligent and very resourceful. He has built alliances, gathered various forces, built dangerous machines, taken slaves, all in preparation to rule the planet. His plans have multiple stages, some involving only himself, some involving the others in his circle of evil, and some that will take all of his armies. Campaign use: Skeletor can be used in several different ways. He is one of the most well known of the characters from the franchise and as such he is better used as a recurring or main villain. Depending on the tone of the campaign he is probably best served by being used fairly seldom, especially if heroes manage to thwart his plots, so as to still give a sense of dread when they meet the settings best known villain. If you want to have the tone of the FILMATION cartoon, then meeting and stopping him frequently is desireable. One idea for a tough adventure would have the characters try to find a means of separating Keldor and Skeletor. Keldor is perhaps able to be turned back to good?

HORDAK Location Description Mini-comic: She-Ra: MOTUC: Second born heir to the Horde Empire, Hec-Tor Kur arrived on the planet Eternia while battling the cosmic warrior He-Ro. Taking the name Hordak, he raised an army and challenged the Snake Men for rule over the planet. And although he defeated King Hssss, Grayskull, leader of the free people of Eternia succeeded in banishing him to the dimension of Despondos. It was there that centuries later Hordak contacted a young alchemist named Keldor and began teaching him the ways of the dark arts in exchange for freedom from his extra-dimensional prison. While trapped in the dark dimension of Despondos, Hordak discovered the power to project his spirit back to Eternia. In this form, he made contact with the banished Prince Keldor. Through dark magic and manipulation, Hordak was able to entice Keldor to forsake his birthright and become an Overlord of Evil. He taught Keldor the ways of black magic and eventually, in return for Keldor's promise to release him from Despondos, saved Keldor's life by merging him with a powerful demon. In his Spirit form, Hordak projects his essence to Eternia, turning Keldor to the side of evil. After millennia of wandering through Despondos, Horde scouts located a small magical planet deep in the centre of this terrible dimension. Hordak led his troops there, overthrowing the local monarchs and claiming it as a new Horde home world. Exposed to the planet’s natural magic, Hordak’s blood rose to the surface, giving him a bluish skin hue. After his stepdaughter’s betrayal, he began to loose control of the planet and eventually gave it up completely when Shadow Weaver discovered a Laser Gate portal back to Eternia. Once there, Hordak and his army quickly overthrew Skeletor’s royal forces and took control. From his new Fright Zone mountain fortress Hordak continued his obsession for magical secrets, hoping to use them to achieve his ultimate goal; returning to Horde World to claim the entire Empire for himself! After being released from exile in Despondos by Evil-Lyn, Hordak returned to Eternia with his ageless army to once again claim its hidden magical properties for his own. Finding his former pupil Skeletor on the throne following the apparent "death" of King Randor, Hordak upgraded his armor with a Hurricane Blaster which he used to challenge the Lord of Destruction and drive the Snake Men back into hibernation. After ripping through the walls of Snake Mountain, Hurricane Hordak casts off his battle shield and advances on Skeletor whirling his thunderball mace! After King Miro and Randor returned from exile in Despondos, the Three Towers returned to the surface signaling the time when the Second Ultimate Battleground would commence. To prepare for this battle, Hordak invaded Central Tower in an attempt to steal the secret of Time Travel. But without the Cosmic Key to channel the Tower's energy, Hordak's body was mutated, creating a Buzz Saw Blaster which could lash out at any enemy from his chest. During their final battle, Skeletor magically drained Hordak's essence revealing the secrets and might of the Horde empire. But in Hordak's last breath, while he appeared surrounded and defenseless, Hordak's buzz saw blasts were unleashed, striking out at Skeletor in a final cataclysmic blow! If not for a nearby Bionotops, Skeletor would have indeed perished and Hordak's revenge complete. RPG: Hordak Ravz was one of the most ambitious of the Horde Marshalls and still is. With his generals he launched an invasion of Etheria and through magic, they, and the planet was sent into the dimension of Despondos. After the initial invasion was beat back they set up base in the Fright Zone to regroup. Campaign use: Unless the Horde is really the focus if your campaign Hordak or Hordak Primes goal are basically the same. As a villain Hordak is more for using military force to achieve his goals rather than trying a clever ploy. However, since his military force is limited he is not beyond it. Hordak does not care about respect other than respect for him, and he does not care about sparing opponents lives. Like Skeletor and King Hiss he should probably be used sparingly so that he doesn't become a joke by being defeated to much.

For five thousand years he and his army waited until Evil-Lyn and a Snake Men descendant named Kobra Kahn opened the Snake Pit to free them. King Hssss often tricks foes by appearing heroic but then transforms into a seething mass of serpents and leads the Snake Men into battle! Beheaded by Zodak during the battle against Serpos, King Hssss slowly regenerated thanks to the darkness of his dungeon cell. Regrouping at Serpos' destroyed temple deep in Subternia, Hssss lead the Snake Men to the surface to find Skeletor and a newly returned Hordak warring for the throne of Eternia.

They prefer to stay out of direct sunlight as it hurts their eyes. Their intelligence allows them to fashion crude tools, similar to a stone age civilization. FILMATION: Source canon. One of the types of beasts that Beast Man employs. MYP: Shadow beats have black fur and are afraid of light. MOTUC: Great ape-like beasts who live in tribes throughout the dark hemisphere. Shadow Beasts can only come out in the absence of light. Originally created by Count Marzo, as a weapon to use against his enemies, the beasts were driven back by Princes Keldor and Randor and forced to reside in the shadow of Mount Barathrum. There they developed a long standing hatred of both the Human and Gar race. Easily manipulated, the ever growing colony of Beasts was later controlled by Beast Man in the service of Skeletor to take down Eternos Palace. With their great strength and stealth- like appearance, Shadow Beasts are more than a match for most heroic warriors!

The common persons view A commoner on Eternia For a normal person living on Eternia life is not dissimilar to what life was like for a person from early medieval Earth. For a commoner, while he knows of good and evil forces, he will never be a witness of any great events. For a commoner, life is about making sure one and ones' family has food year round, in order to survive. Usually this means working fields, tending animals, giving service to ones god or gods. Now, if you happen to be a commoner living near any of the more important places on the planet such as Eternos palace, life is a bit different. Your life is still about surviving, but you will probably have seen the heroes and villains others have only heard about. You know that there is a low intensity conflict between King Randor and Skeletor. What keeps you there is your extended family and the fear of the unknown. If you relocate to a different place, what certainty is there that their might not be other dangers? On Eternia a commoner might face evil humanoids, wandering monsters and weird magical phenomena. This has resulted in a people that are usually prepared to defend themselves

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE This is one section in which you will find most of the differences between canons. I have decided to treat each canon as a separate universe and only the RPG and Classics timelines are attempts at reconciling some of the differencies and inconsistencies. Some of the canons have sections that are compatible but I leave it up to you to decide what parts you want to use in your game. First up is a short history timeline of what is assumed to be common events. That one is followed by the canon specific timelines. Lastly the events are explained.

It's growth and fall. Eternos founding (Eternos city was founded by King Randor's grandfather, and a ”simple” wooden palace erected.) The Ork War (40 years before the now) King Miro.

Descriptions of all events This section details all events. Those that are unique to one or more canons are marked as such in the headline/title. All others, the differences are described in each description.
Creation of the universe The universe is created by powerful beings, perhaps gods, and the last remnant of creation, the Starseed is placed in the centre of Eternia, the planet at the centre of the universe. Classics: RPG: The creator gods were more like cosmic forces of nature, albeit with a will. As the universe expanded they were divided into smaller and smaller beings. With each new generation they became more self aware, gained more of a distinct personality but lost some power. The gods are detailed in the chapter on Religion.
The rise of the Horde Empire Through conquest the Horde Empire expands, first across it's home planet and then to other solar systems across the Milky Way galaxy and others.
Preternia Similar to Earth's past, Eternias ancient times have dinosaurs and other creatures not present in todays world. A techno organic virus spread, creating cybernetic creatures with strange abilities that were sometimes tamed as steeds or used in battle. He-Ro and X are considered to be the origins of the bond between select champions of the Power of Grayskull. The Snake Men and Horde first appear on Eternia. Classics: RPG: MYP:
2220 Humans from Earth launches the Starfinder program (MOV, RPG, Classics) The Starfinder program was Earth's first interstellar mission tasked with finding habitable planets around another solar system. It was deemed a failure when it's first craft fell into a wormhole. The program would be relaunched under a different name two decades later after having concluded that the wormhole event was a fluke. 2220 Marlena's space flight (RPG, from early story development) Classics: RPG: Captain Marlena Glenn and her crew cumputer expert Evelyn Powers, mechanic Biff Eastman and sensor specialist Thomas Edward Skope are sucked through a wormhole created by the Great War and crashes on Eternia. The magic of the planet feeds of the evil and ill intent of her crew transforming them into the persons now known as Evil-Lyn, Beastman and Triklops. The great war Fought between great forces (perhaps the technologically advanced Eternians and the Horde Empire) the weapons used tore holes in the fabric of the universe and destroyed the civilization. RPG: Fought by Eternians and Horde Empire. Ended when the council of Elders decided to use the Eternity bomb, deciding between the destruction of their civilization or the destruction of all living beings on the planet and the Secret of Grayskull falling into the Horde's hands. The war is named after the effect it had rather than the length. The main conflict was just under a month, of intense full scale, land, sea, air and space combat with more than a billion dead before it ended.
Avion's founding
The empire (RPG) The empire grew from smaller realms until it dominated the central light hemisphere. Eventually wars, technological advances and political differences made it split into smaller regions again.
Eternos founding RPG: The city and palace was founded by ancestors of King Randor. Originally simple stone, wood and clay buildings, over the course of time it has changed and grown into what it looks like today.
The Ork War (40 years before the now)
12000 He-man's and She-Ra's birth RPG: Hordak sends Skeletor to kidnap the prince, but he only succeeds in capturing She-Ra. A later attempt also fails but He-Man is separated from his parents and lives in a jungle tribe for many years.
The Count Marzo uprisings
Keldor's apprenticeship (MYP, Classics) Prince Keldor studies magic and is contacted by Hordak who teaches him powerful magic in exchange for his freedom from Despondos. RPG: Prince Keldor is not Skeletor in the RPG setting, but was absorbed by him at a later date, gaining his knowledge.
Skeletor's arrival on Eternia Through a rift in the Universe, Skeletor, one of a demoic race of beings finds Eternia, becoming one of its greatest foes. Classics: Mini-Comics: MYP:

Etheria's imprisonment

This game does not try to be the kind of game that has rules for every situation, but to cover the most common needs a Masters of the Universe game has. The advanced game is similar enough to the world's largest role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons, and its similies and the rules and expansions for that game might easily be used in this one. Please read the sidebar if that interests you. This section has a lot of options, examples and notes. The options are in yellow sidebars, examples are in italicized text and notes are in blue sidebars.
Level of Violence The level of violence in your games comes down to two things where you can choose different levels. The first one is description of the violence. You can play up the gore and dismemberments, and deaths and injuries during battle and in the world, or you can play it down and keep combat to a tactical exercise which at most describes hits, parries and misses, and not focus on the fighting in describing the settings. The other is a choice of which rules to use, and there are several sub choices to make. First you have hit points. Hit points represents how much damage a character can take, but when they run out what happens? In a gritty game the character dies, and on the other side of the spectrum the character falls unconscious. Evil or good, neither wants the other side killed, only defeated and put in prison. The first is arguably more realistic, but the other is more kid friendly and better simulates the Filmation cartoons. As you read through the chapter, make a note on which alternatives you want for your game. Here is a summary of three levels that you can use as is, or as a base for your vision of the game.
Kid friendly Hit dice and taking damage: When a character is hit it is increasingly weakened (your choice if this has an actual effect) and at zero is knocked out by the strain until the battle is over or the Keeper decides he wakes up. No one dies. Heroes might be captured and jailed and defeated villains are jailed, or if in a hurry may just be left where they fell. Descriptive: Describe combats as exciting stuff, just don't focus (or perhaps even mention) blood, specific damage, but rather the action. ”You punch him in the jaw and he goes all cross eyed!”
Heroic fantasy Hit dice and taking damage: When a character is hit it is increasingly weakened and at zero looses consciousness. The character will come to after a time (Keeper decides, or follow the advanced rules). If the character has recieved double his Constitution in damage he is bleeding to death. What happens to defeated characters and villains is up to the Keeper (according to what serves the story) or players according to what they characters are like. Descriptive: Describe combat as exciting and dangerous stuff, describe the weapon hits and effect but keep the main focus on the action. Extrapolate the effect depending on the amount of damage done. ”You give him an uppercut that sends him reeling back, blood pouring out of his mouth.”
Realistic Hit dice and taking damage: When a character is hit it is increasingly weakened (according to the rules) and at zero looses consciousness. The character will come to after a time (follow the advanced rules). If the character has recieved double his Constitution in bludgeoning damage, or his normal Constitution in slashing or piercing damage he is bleeding to death. Defeated opponents are taken care of in the way that makes most sense. Descriptive: Combat is filled by adrenaline, fear and danger. Describe damage fairly detailed, focus on feelings and sensation rather than action. ”Your fist connects with his jaw. You can hear his teeth grind against each other, blood sputters out of his mouth and nose, staining your arm. Your hand goes numb. He sways from the blow.”

Index CHAPTER SIXTEEN: ADVENTURES IN THE UNIVERSE ADVENTURES The universe of this game is huge, rivalled only by a few others in its scope and possibilities, and that leads to endless and varied types of adventures. If we liken roleplaying games to television, an adventure would be one story, regardless of it being one episode long or more. One main plot with perhaps some subplots. One step up from this, a campaign, is a series of adventures that have something in common. It can be a main plotline that runs through all adventures like the machinations of an evil villain, and the adventures is about dealing with his or her henchpeople. It can also be held together by just the characters or the setting. This would be like a television season. On the other side of the spectrum from the campaign is the scene, similar to its television counterpart, it's a series of continuos events set in the same location at the same time. So a series of scenes makes an adventyre, and a series of adventures make a campaign. Now that you're familiar with those terms let's go back to adventures. This game provides two sample adventures, one shorter and one longer. The first is ideal for the first game, enabling you to test out and learn the game by playing it. The other is a little bit more advanced, so if you have problems with some of the theories look at those adventures to see it in practise.
CREATING AN ADVENTURE Creating an adventure begins with an idea, from something like ”it would be cool to have a battle in a swamp” to ”I'd like to set up a court full of intrigue for the characters to try and establish who is working for good and help them”. Sample ideas comes later in ths chapter. Whatever the idea is, there are a few steps to consider. How does the characters get involved, what will they face, and how might it end. For those of you that write your own stories this process is probably familiar. For those that don't we got you covered.
INTRODUCING THE CHARACTERS TO THE ADVENTURE The beginning is about hooking the players in and try to make them excited for what they and their characters will face. An adventure is about events out of the ordinary. While Prince Adam in Filmation usually lives his life in the court, sometimes something happens and he will have to transform into He-Man in order to endure his adventures. Think about how some of your favorite books, cartoons or movies have started. You can start your adventures in the same way. The most important part of a beginning is to make it exciting in a way that the players and characters want to follow up on what happened. Try to have it involve the characters directly and have it be about what they care about. Also, be aware of what your players like, it's no good having an adventure set in a court full of intrigue if what they want is to battle evil creatures. For a sample of ways to begin an adventure, see the sidebar. Let's use the swamp battle idea as an introduction and I'll show you some ways you can change an idea. Idea One: One or all of the characters recieve a letter from a friend, there is a battle raging in the nearby Swamp of Ashelorn and the friend is afraid, could the characters come help and investigate? This is a pretty common way to start an adventure, the characters are called upon to act by someone they know. After some time playing you will have recurring characters and those will be the best to use to goad the characters into action. Did you notice that giving the location also adds something to the feel of the place. It's no longer a generic place. What if was something more descriptive like the Swamp of Black Death or the Faery Swamp? Idea Two: Travelling from one place to another the characters are making their place when they are ambushed by evil swamp beings. Why? Idea Three: After a short time of swamp combat it's time to tell the background of the adventure. Starting the adventure with some action directly from the outset gets people pumped up, but some people dislike this way of telling a story, and wants everything to happen like in real life, event by event. See if you can think of your own variations to start an adventure. The start should provide the characters with enough impetus to continue, to reach some sort of goal or conclusion. In idea one the starting goal is helping the friend so they might go and talk to that person first, or they might head to the swamp first. It's important that each scene has ways to enable the characters to carry on to the next, until the reach the final scene.
THE ADVENTURE PROPER Now that you've started the characters off on an adventure they should have either an immediate goal or a long term one. We discussed some immediate goals for idea one above. Long term goals is also the main starting goal, helping the friend so that the friend is safe. Now you have to decide what needs to happen to accomplish that goal. Obviously the battle in the swamp is what set him or her off so that needs to stop. So that becomes the next goal, and that goal is dependent on why that battle is taking place, and who is fighting, and so is the solution. When you make your adventures you decide how complex it should be. Is it just say, two groups of wild beasts attacking each other for territory, and the only way to make them stop is hitting them on the heads enough times? Or are they two intelligent groups of beings who are fighting because one of them stole something important from the others and won't give it back. Will they listen to diplomacy, or do the characters need to do something action filled like taking it back? By thinking through these decisions and deciding on these details you make your adventure. The length of the adventure hinges on its complexity. Dunking the fighting sides on their heads might end the battle and solve the problem and thereby bring the end of the adventure. But if more actions are needed, like one of the sides are new to this place because they've been forced away from their home, the characters might have to check that out and see what drove them out, and that might lead to more scenes. Complexity, length, and focus are up to you. Just check to see if your players like it. Some players think combat is fun, others like riddles, and others like a more diplomatic approach. You'll sync up fine if you are open and talk about it. Over time you'll get to know what your players like and don't. There are several examples in this chapter with different focuses because you can tailor it exactly to what you want it to be. With some practise you can use any example as a basis for an adventure regardless of your focus. The more you play, and the more experienced you become, the more natural it will become.
DESCRIBING THE SETTING Now we'll get into the details of adventure making, starting with the setting. As the Game Master you set the mood of your game through how you describe and use the setting. If you compare the depiction of Eternia in the Filmation cartoon to the Eternia of the current DC Comics series you'll notice several differencies and just as they do things differently from each other, so you too can make your Eternia what you want. A setting is a combination of environment (like a forest, city) and mood (dark or light, festive or brooding). Even when the setting is the same place it can be described differently to set the right tone for an adventure, campaign and game. Compare these two descriptions below. Descritpion One: The throne room is brightly lit and the invited guests are enjoying the bountiful food and drinks that are being served. Princess She-Ra is sitting on the throne, smiling and clearly enjoying the feast. Description Two: Even though the throne room is brightly lit it feels dark. The invited guests are drinking and eating but they aren't enjoying it. Princess She-Ra sits on the throne uneasily, a frown on her face showing that she isn't comfortable here. By controlling your descriptions you set the tone that the players and their characters will react to. Establish the tone as early as possible in the adventure, and reinforce it when needed. Also vary the amount of description to focus the attentions of the players to what's important. If for example the characters go shopping and it has no importance there's no need to describe it at all, just ask them what they want and tell them the price, or just hand them the list of goods and let them do it themselves. On the other hand, if it's time to reinforce a tone again you can describe and play some of the characters interactions with local shop keepers. It might seem a lot to keep in mind, but this isn't the sort of activity that you have to pass a test on. As you get more experienced, and get to know what your players like, you'll know what amount of description is needed and when. In short you'll want to describe what kind of environment they are in (”you're standing in the central courtyard of Castle Brightmoon” or ”You're in the Village of Crawto, inhabited by pantherians”), what they experience that's important enough (”a procession of petitioning villagers are making their way past you” or ”a comet suddenly crashes into the ground, crushing the well and sending people running, foul smelling smoke emanating from the crater the comet made”). At its core role playing is a constant series of descriptions and actions the Keeper presents and which the players have their characters react to. What the characters accomplish leads to more descriptions and actions and so on. These descriptions opens up possibilites for the characters. By limiting or opening up what you describe the amount of actions they can take decrease or increase. This is an effective tool to focus and adventure when needed. Examples below describe some different ways to use descriptions and how to use them effectively. So what about settings in adventure? Say, we're doing that Idea One Swamp Battle adventure, and at its most basic we have three settings to describe in the adventure. If this is the very first game you might want to introduce your players to the game setting of Masters of the Universe itself. But those three settings are the place where the adventure starts when the hero or heroes recieve the letter, the other is the home of the friend and then there's the swamp. Each of these, think of what you want out of them as settings. We will focus on the home of the friend. Since he is worried about the battle in the swamp it makes sense that either his home is near the swamp, he works near the swamp or something or someone the friend cares about is near the swamp. So you decide what distance to the swamp it is. This might be important or not, it's your choice depending on if you've decided that time is of importance (one side might defeat the others after a certain time), or you decided to have the characters have some kind of meeting, battle or other compication between the friends location and the battleground. You never have to commit to a decision until you're actually playing the game. Say you decide that there is a ravine that the characters have to cross in some fashion that you think might take 30 minutes of real time, and you learn that todays game needs to be 30 minutes shorter because one of the players need to go pick up a friend at the airport, you can just decide to take that part out. And that ravine can instead be used for another adventure. Whatever the reason, just don't sweat it when you're thinking up your adventure. Ok, so where is the friend exactly. Is he in his home, in a nearby village? How does that home or village look? If it's a place that you want the players to remember or you want to have them visit again, try to make it unique. Don't just make it a farmer's cabin in the wood or a small village just like any other. The cabin is built partly on top of a ruin, or the village is among the treetops. And what about the immediate surroundings, is it grassy, flower meadows, barren or montaineous? Each choice contributes to the overall feel. The weather, the time of year, the people. Think like a movie director would, what is the vision I want my players to have and their characters react to? If the place is important to the adventure, spend sometime thinking about it. If not improvise or just write down a short non-descriptive description (like ”it's a village”). So that's a scene setting.
Effects of a setting on a scene Apart from setting the mood, think about if it affects the characters some ways, rules wise. If the rain is pouring down, does that make it harders to hear stuff or see stuff? Tweaking the rules like this is another way to make each scene setting unique. The rules chapters talks more about this.
What in the setting will characters react to Each scene will have important and non-important features. If you describe the home of the friend from above like ”a small and cosy house with a big fireplace. Your friend is standing in the hallway greeting you as you enter” you've given them some cues to react to. The house is cosy, so that means the characters might enjoy sitting down, or one of the characters is aggressive and dislikes coziness so he might want to urge the action on so that he might leave the place as quick as possible. There's a large fireplace. If you've describe the weather outside as chilly earlier, they might go and warm up by it. And then there's the friend to talk to about that battle. Getting to know your players will aid you in the future. Some focus only on what you describe, while other can make large assumptions from small cues. One of the players might ask if there's food around the house, and if you say yes, ask what kind. Most of this anxilliary, non-important stuff for the adventure, you don't need to prepare if you're confident you can wing it. And while it isn't important to the adventure itself, it is important to the player and character, and for the player's enjoyment. How to tailor the game to different players is discussed later. Remember to use your descriptions to focus the adventure if needed. If you don't want the characters to cosy up to the fire don't describe it. You can even lead on the action by the description, like this ”a small and cosy house with a big fireplace. Your friend is standing in the hallway greeting you as you enter. You sit down in front of the fireplace and he begins to tell you why he wanted you to come” (Followed by some in character description of his plight). You'll want to lead an adventure on in cases where it's important to get the characters going, rather than how they get going. In a detective adventure for example, if the characters fail to find a clue that will point them to the next action, you can lead them on by letting them automatically finding it. This is preferable to letting the game stall. Usually you can avoid that by good preparation. And this is discussed later in the game master tips section.
What happens if or when they react For non-important actions and reactions you can just improvise on the spot. By standing in front of the fireplace the character warms up for example. For the important stuff it's best if you think about it. For example, after the friend has told them about the battle in the swamp, they may have more questions for the friend. Think about what more they may ask, and what the answers might be. If you think up a question they might ask, is it best that you add the answer into the friends introductionary tale, or that they come up with the question themselves? If they're new to roleplaying games probably the former, and if they're experienced probably the latter. Like with descriptions, it's important to focus on the important stuff. Anything they need to know to continue the adventure let them know through the friends tale. But stuff which might give them an edge but which isn't crucial, you can hold off on and see if they are smart enough to think to ask. Like what beings were fighting, maybe some were shooting flame from their eyes. Not neccessary to know, but if they know they can plan ahead how to deal with that ability. Don't forget about those game effects. If it was chilly outside and you decided that because the characters are freezing, their Strength and Agility is lowered by one. If they decide to warm themselves before heading out again they might stave off those effects. Might sound like much, but see the first short adventure, on how little you need to do. You decide how complicated your game is and how much time you want and can put into it.
How to make it come together While some people have the ability to have it all in the head, most of us need to write things down. When writing things down, do it as detailed as you need. If you want your descriptions to be complete, write them down in their entirety. If you work better using a few words as memory support use that. It's in this phase when it's going from ideas to something more concrete that you'll start to take out and add things. Keep revising it til you're satisfied with the result.
How long does it take One of the hardest things is knowing how long an adventure will take to play. One factor is how many scenes are in the adventure, and scenes which uses a lot of rules and dice rolling add to the time. Other factors include the number of players, how familiar everyone is with the rules, the number of beings in a combat encounter and so on. It doesn't really matter how long an adventure is, an adventure can rest for days, weeks or years if players are busy doing other things, but you should try to have as a goal to be prepared for a sessions worth of game. The length of a session is up to you and your friends. I've played some sessions as short as 3 hours to whole days. In the sidebar are som estimates of length of scenes.
Adventure types
Fetch quest This type of adventure is all about getting the item, wether it be a sword of power or a princess of power. Usually the reward for this adventure is given when the item is presented to the one who wanted it fetched, but the item may be reward enough in itself.
Dungeon delve This is a type of site based adventure, like investigating a mysterious temple and stop the evil within. It doesn't have to be a dungeon at all, that is just a common setting for these kinds of adventures. It's biggest draw is that the adventure is relatively easily contained.
Mystery Mysteries reolve around riddles, or circumstances that must be understood to get a clear picture of something. Detective stories are a common variant.
Combat Kind of self explanatory. Whatever the reason, the main obstacles in front of the goals are various combat situations.
Obstacle course An obstacle course pits characters againts a variety of different obstacles, it may be environmental hazards, enemies, strange magic, riddles. Anything that takes effort for players or characters to overcome.
Turning preexisting stories to adventures. If your players haven't seen the cartoons or read the comics, you have an almost endless resource to take from. Here we will show you how to take a story from the FILMATION cartoon and turn it into different types of adventures.
Let's use that swamp battle idea above.

Introductory adventure: The Enchanted Faire This adventure is designed to showcase the setting and the rules. It is written in a way so that it is easy for a new Keeper to run. Before running this adventure the players should have made their player characters, and they should have read the introductory comics on roleplaying and the Universe unless they already is familiar with them. If you are the Keeper you should have read through the Basic Rules, and the Chapter on Being a Keeper. There are some handouts that you should have some sort of way to distribute or show the players.
In this adventure, sections that you should read or paraphrase to the players are in grey boxes like this: Everything else is like in the rest of this game book.
A summary of the Adventure This adventures sends the player characters to a magical faire that's held once a year. They will be there on behalf of the Kingdom of Eternia as representatives to take part in a series of contests. Near the end of the festivities the villain X will show up, and attempt to steal the prize cup and it will be up to the player character to try to stop her.
