[QUOTE="smootrk, post: 3511219, member: 28583"] Yes, I think I will re-interpret the basic SF races (Dralasites, Vrusk, Yazirian, and Human, with the Sathar for npc) based on a fantasy world where the races each developed alongside each other (albeit in different locales or environments). I have a mind to also setup some basic fantasy races (basic dwarf, fey, orc/goblin, and more) in an appendix for those that might desire them. All in all, my main objective is to develop the basic fantasy rules using the rule-mechanics of SF. It was not my objective to design a new campaign environment altogether; I meant to leave that to the individual referee/dm to do, although it seems that a basic world to jump right into is preferable by many (those short of time, energy, or creative aptitude to develop their own)... so it seems at the very least, I will be writing some campaign notes to help the process of world-building along. Any ideas for working out a history of sorts utilizing the main 5 races in a fantasy environment will be most welcome. Bear in mind, I am looking for an Alternate Reality that includes magic and such... not a special world where the space-faring races all meet up and learn magic. I do not want to taint the basic SF setting with this alternate magical reality, but to allow Ref/DM's to utilize Dimensional Travel (to where magic is real) or time travel (if the magic portions are unused), with the existing SF game rules... or separate campaign altogether. Feel free to suggest away on Campaign issues, Specific Rule ideas, and whatever else might be on your mind. [/QUOTE]
