1. Katharine Kerr's Deverry series. Katharine Kerr used to be editor of Dragon a long time ago. 4e as it stands would not model the world well (too 'high magic') but would love to see a well-done RPG of Deverry. Unfortunately, the author has made it clear she has little or no interest in...

I'll second what a few people have said: Roma Imperious (True 20 or Iridium System) from Hinterwelt Eternal Rome (D20) from Green Ronin Legends of Excalibur (D20 or True 20) from RPG Objects GURPS Celtic Myth And, of course, Pendragon, now in its 5th Edition. Also, Coryani in the d20 Arcanis...

What's a scripted combat system? Is there a downloadable pdf of Burning Wheel or even just the combat system? I couldn't find one.

Not what I was looking for, but I downloaded it anyway - sounded interesting. Thanks.

OK, just read through the whole of the Riddle of Steel combat system and the choosing of maneuvers each round and allocating dice from a pool to attack and defense maneuvers is now ringing a huge bell. I'm now pretty sure :o it was the RoS combat system I was thinking of but if anyone knows of...

Ah, just did a search on this and it's the Riddle of Steel Initiative system, which I have definitely read but not played. I don't think this is what I was thinking of but I knew I knew it and again it's similarly themed to what I'm looking for, except it just determines initiative (though it...

I did spend some time a while ago immersing myself in small press RPGs so it could have been. That 'rock-paper-scissors' feel was definitely the theme I remember, though a tad more complex obviously.

Yeah, that rings a bell. Not sure if that's what I was thinking of, but it definitely rings a bell.

Well, Lost Worlds combat system is extremely interesting and I've downloaded the rulebook, but it wasn't it. There were no pictures involved. I'll have to check that old edition of Dragon magazine but I'm pretty sure it didn't come from a TSR source either. Thanks though for the link to other...

Hi I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Several years ago, I think I remember playing out a trial combat using an unfamiliar but interesting system. It suddenly half came back into my head this evening when I was looking at the Swordplay: Arena combat card game and I...

Ah, rats! I just looked up the reviews for the Magravandias Chronicles and realised I've read them already (or at least Sea Dragon Heir anyway). Can't remember too well, mind you, so doesn't say a great deal abou them (or perhaps my state of mind at the time!) :\

Thanks for taking the time to think about your recommendations. I had forgot to put in that I have read Constantine's Wraeththu series which, though pretty weird, I thought was very evocatively written. I'd like to read more of Constantine's work and your suggestion reminded me I had once come...

Hmmm...no, he wasn't on my list. I (very) vaguely seem to remember picking up the first book about twenty years ago and finding it a bit dry. I could well be mis-remembering though. I do know of Lawhead and for some (subliminal) reason can't seem to gather the enthusiasm to pick his books up...
