2nd world war

[LoD2004]

Hello, I am thinking about writing a campaign setting during the 2nd world war!
I need some help with this though. If people are interested in helping me in this please email me at Bjorn_Gerstel@hotmail.com!

Knowledge about the 2nd world war is a prerequisite

Additional Information:

It's going to be a book!
I want to publish it but first i need to finish it, with the help of a few others!
See the possibilities where this campaign setting can go to,
like other sourcebooks, great adventures/missions, great heroics, 2nd world war is popular at the moment.

I hope some guys are interested in this idea!

Imo, the first thing you should decide is if you include both europe and the pacific in the book or focus on one of the two.
Also you should decide how you do deal with the nazis and all the crimes they did. Leave them completly out of the book or add them and focus on playing the allies.

Well the first book will go to be set in Europe and you will fight on the allies side against the germans.
If you are interested Derren in helping please email me or add me in your MSN!

Hello, I am thinking about writing a campaign setting during the 2nd world war!

How will this be different than the other d20 WW2 games?

Do you plan on using d20 Modern or not?

I searched the internet and the only thing i could find was 1948 from ??Bloodline Press??

No d20 Modern

How would you deal with Rommel and Yamamoto in your book.

 

[LoD2004]

Isoroku Yamamoto: Admiral in the JapaneseNavy, would probably have no mention in the book because the first book is going to focus on Europe and not in the Pacific.

Erwin Rommel will be mentioned in the book, maybe an NPC Character as he was the head of the German army in France during the allied invasion.
I am not sure how much info would go on him.

There was Wierd Wars 2 published by Pinnacle early in the d20 era. It wasn't too bad although some of the rules are shaky. It was originally Europe but there were a bunch of supplements dealing with air combat, Russian and the Pacific. The air combat rules were supposed to be pretty good but I never actually saw that book. Even though the book stressed supernatural ("wierd") stuff, that part of the game was fairly easy to ignore.

V for Victory was a WW2 mini game in Dungeon magazine. It was mostly crunch with classes, skill, and weapon lists. No vehicle rules.

Hell on Earth (from Bloodstone Press) was a d20 Modern PDF set in WW2. Much of it focused on non-military matters with classes for spies, "resistance", and occult dudes.

Finally, WW2 Heroes was a military based d20 Modern PDF.
