[WHFRP] Eberron Fantasy Roleplay

[HellHound]

So, my love of two things are at odds.

I love WarHammer FRP 2e. It is by far my fave system to run games in right now. And I love the setting for it.

HOWEVER

I love Eberron. Especially Sharn.

So I've begun the task.

Converting Eberron to WarHammer.

First thing is the races. I've brought them more in line with each other stat-wise, and have started adding new races from the setting. Next will be a bunch of new starting careers. I have about half the races done so far, expect the other half tomorrow-ish.

Great work! Yesterday I was thinking about using WFRPG for our Ptolus campaign. After reading through what you've done so far, I'm more than tempted!

 

[Karl Green]

This is indeed VERY cool... of course I have been playing around with an Iron Kingdom conversion to WHFRP 2nd ed myself. I have most of it done except spells and mechanika (the two hardest things! )

I am playing around wtih leaving the "base" magic as is found in WH but then adding some flavor for Sorcerers and Mechanika (plus using some of the tech ideas from Children of the Horned Rat).

I look forward to more, as I do like Eberron also (to many games, to little time that the wife lets me do anything anymore )

 

[Piratecat]

This is totally friggin' cool. I would play in this campaign in a shot.

 

[Rel]

I wait with breath abated to see how you convert the magic of Eberron (and Sharn especially) to WFRP.

 

[HellHound]

Yeah, the magic will be the biggest deal of the conversion. I'm looking at getting rid of the major mishaps chances from the magic rules, and have to make a few new careers for magewrights and Artificers.

However, the whole project is on a 2-day hold as I prep to run a CyberPunk 2020 campaign tonight. With the exception of a 2 game mini-event in 2003, this will be the first time we've pulled out the old punk since 2000.

Well I do not wish to be discouraging. BUT this seems to me a lot of work for a payoff that I don't think is all that big.

I mean, WFRP with a different (higher) magic, ditching the setting, adding a bunch of new careers and all that is a very big investment in time. And in the end, will it be tremendously different from a 3.5 game set in Sharn?

You know I love WFRP. And I don't have any problems with modifying it. After all, I'm using it to play Pirates of the Caribbean right now and I've added a couple house rules to emulate the genre I'm after. But if I was going to run a Sharn campaign (and I HAVE and would again) then I'd definately use the tool that was designed for that purpose.

 

[BroccoliRage]

I dunno, dude. Eberron isn't really gritty enough for Warhammer.

Good luck on the conversion of course. The matchup just doesn't seem...right, to me. I would think the Scarred LAnds setting (since we're going with d20 settings) would be better suited.

 

[HellHound]

I dunno, dude. Eberron isn't really gritty enough for Warhammer.

Which is exactly why I'm doing this.

I run a very gritty Sharn campaign. Very CyberPunk feeling. But the rules stop helping me to run a high-grit campaign once the players break out past level 5. Thus the conversion.
