About time for another Polyhedron minigame specuation thread

[JPL]

Unless the new issue of Dungeon, which I haven't seen yet, gives it away.

But if it doesn't...here's my current wish list...

1. Seems like a d20 "survival horror" game would be interesting. No heroic characters a la d20 Modern --- just average Joes trying to get away from hordes of brain-eating zombies.

2. I'd still like to see a d20 riff on For Faerie Queen and Country.

3. Or, since the new Van Helsing movie is on the way...Masque of the Red Death d20? Especially since the Masque makes a little cameo in the d20 Modern Menace Manual.

4. Always been curious about Birthright, although it looks like it would be tricky to cook it down into a minigame.

5. "Crimson Skies" with the serial numbers filed off. Basically, a cool arial combat system compatable with d20 Modern [so you could drop it right into your Pulp Heroes campaign], a couple of Aviator advanced / prestige classes [possibly based on some Star Wars prestige classes], a nice stack of feats to help differentiate pilots, and some funky-looking planes with pinup girls painted on the side.

6. Four words that mean "adventure" --- monkeys, pirates, ninja, and zombies. Now, I'm not saying a single minigame should try to put them all together...but if you can find a way...

Ninjas and pirates don't mix.

I've been somewhat *bleh* over the D20 western games I've seen. Maybe a minigame that crosses western with something else a la Deadlands? Western Fantasy, with dwarven banditos and buffalo soldiers fighting orcs? Or how about Cowboys vs. Aliens? Anyone else down?

Now that they've done the Sha'ir class, I'd love to see an Al-Quadim mini game...

Wanna bet...

I think Sidewinder: Reloaded looks promising, based on the previews.

Just put your pirates in the Far East [a la "Terry and the Pirates", for example], and ninjas fit right in.

I actually think Recoiled will do a better job capturing the feel and flavor of the western genre better than the original Sidewinder did. We have a much stronger feel for the rules and what can be done with them this time around.

d20 Modern is a very strong framework for the type of game you're working on. From what I've seen on your website [and based on my quick skim of the original], you have a winner on your hands.

[With your obvious eye for historical detail, it would be great to see a followup project set in Victorian England...I'm still waiting for a good d20 steampunk setting].

"Blood and Fists" pretty much covers my martial arts / tournament fighter needs, so that's one I was able to cross off my wish list.

That's an interesting idea. With writing on Recoiled winding down, we have begun preliminary discussions of what we should tackle next. We have a few good ideas for product follow ups to Recoiled and have even posted one (Judge's Lawbook) to our main webpage. But, I'll have to pass it on to the rest of the Dog House Gang.
