I'm not sure if everyone here knows about a free online program called The Hero Machine. There are several different versions, but the best is the 2.5 copy.

This program allows you to create and configure practically anyone you want. It was originally designed to make heroes (i.e. Marvel or DC), but many have used it for other purposes since its creation. If you like it, go ahead and play around with it.

Using HM 2.5, I've created several characters from the Sierra adventure games.

Here they are:

• King Graham
• Princess Rosella
• Roger Wilco
• Sergeant Sonny Bonds
• Hero (Fighter)
• Hero (Paladin)
• Hero (Wizard)
• Hero (Thief)
• Elsa von Spielberg
• Laura Bow
• Larry Laffer
• Gabriel Knight

I had to take some liberties when constructing a few of the characters, since the Hero Machine was never intended to make any of these. I think was fairly accurate, however.

Wonderful characters, DPX. I particularly enjoyed your Roger Wilco and your King Graham! Now I'm off to play a little bit with the program

Nicely done! Was weird - at work the URL for the Rosella one was blocked for some reason. All the others were viewable. But now I got to see them all! HeroMachine is fun stuff. Do a lot of RPG stuff, so I have, and other players have, used it a lot.

Great characters, DPX! My favorite is the Hero. I haven't tried it but it would be fun if they had a short, beer gut option for Larry. But, perhaps that's what his true 'inner' hero is like.

I, being closely related to Larry, would like to let you know that I - I mean, HE - does not have a beer gut! Rather, it's just pounds of love bursting from his heart, stuck in his body, looking for release.

Er.

And not THAT kind of release... and not THAT kind of "pounds of love!"

If only women would think of it that way!

Do you mean "if only women thought of men that way" or "if only women had the same feelings about that issue?"

If it's the latter, well... I actually prefer women when they're not anorexic sticks with no breasts, hips or butt. I want a woman -- not someone who resembles a 10 year-old boy!

Ohh DPX you are too much.

"It" meaning the beer gut.

A woman without curves - tragedy. The champagne glass would never have been invented.
