The eight ideas below are the rough ideas and introductions I used for the first year I ran Heavy Gear at Gen Con. I had the bright idea I was going to run eight different adventures, each one unique, with diverse characters. What a pain! Anyway, here are the character descriptions and the introduction for each.
There are a few duplications in the characters and I got kind of lazy toward the end, but there is enough here to spice up many games if you are interested in non-gear-based Heavy Gear games. :)By the way, these were written long before most of the Heavy Gear supplements came out. Therefore some specific stuff might not be true to the official background presented by DP9.
