[QUOTE="Karl Green, post: 97464, member: 1467"] Just thinking about maybe starting an "In Character" game based on Deadlands d20. I have been trying for a while to get players here in Seattle by no luck (everyone wants to play fantasy D&D, WoD or GURPS). I am just throwing' ideas out right now to see about interest. [OT- not sure if this is still the right place to ask about this or not] What I am thinking... using the basic rules but adding ONE (big) modification - VP/WP in the game. OF course crits would have to be different, spell casting character might be able to burn Vitality for spell, but only Blood Magic would be able to use Wound Points etc. I might add a few extra Feats and some feat mods (I think skill focus should give +3 to one skill or +2 to two related skills, Bravery from Deadlands should give +4 Save bonus and/or lower the effects of a Horror, etc.) Right now just looking to see if this is possible, and if there is interest. Maybe five or six players, and I would post at least once a day (although weekends are not as good for me as I try and escape the computer world for a day or so). If there is interest I will write something up on character creation, etc (and rule changes for VP/WP, which I might not use simply for simplicity sake). Of course I forgot my Deadlands d20 book and notes at home so I have to wait for tomorrow anyway :) Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
