Dream Settings (Publishers Take NOTE!)

[Neo]

I would definitely buy a "Song of Ice and Fire" d20 campaign setting! These George R. R. Martin books are some of the best fantasy literature I have read. It would make for a great low-magic, gritty setting.

I keep hearing good things about that series, i suppose i should get around to reading the 3 books at some point, they are sat on my shelf atm

Buffy in d20. I know a lot of people like the system that its going on, but I have a thing against reading a bunch of rules on a new way to roll dice. Plus combat in Buffy is very d20ish - beat on each other with no real weakening, until the kill is made.

Besides, I recall the Watcher investigators asking Willow and Tara what level of witchcraft they had achieved.

Well, doesn't Wendon play DND or did at one time? He's made multiple references to it. So it seems resenable that the show was influenced by DND.

Hey, for all of you Jessica Alba fans out there, Sci-Fi is showing a series of movies today featuring now-famous actors/actresses in their very first roles. Coming up in a couple of hours (5:00 Eastern, 4:00 Central) is "Idle Hands," starring Jessica Alba. I have no idea what it's about (other than it's presumably science fiction), and there's probably no guarantee of chainmail bikinis, but it might be worth checking out.

I know I'll be watching, along with my two teenage sons.

I'd like to see a Sword of Truth RPG based on Terry Goodkind's books. Imagine classes like war wizard, dream walker, boundry warden, seeker of truth, and especially mord-sith (the ultimate mage-killers).

Yeah, a SoT RPG would be awesome.

I actually saw Jessica Alba and the guy who plays Logan on Dark Angel eating at a restaraunt on 4th ave a week or two ago.

But I have yet to see her on campus even though the supposedly do a lot of shooting around here at UBC.

Let's see...

Novels:

Deatgate series (Weiss/Hickman). I doubt the Sartan or Patryn could be PC races, but the setting really rocks for D&D.

Rose of the Prophet series (also Weiss/Hickman). I loved this series, and always wanted to see a D&D campaign based on it.

Dragonlance series (also Weiss/Hickman). Being worked on. Perhaps if its successful they'll start on the previous two?

Book of Swords series (Fred Saberhagen -- probably too low-magic for D&D, but d20 doable).

Larry Niven's "Ringworld". A friggin huge, essentially post-apocalyptic world, but with enough oddities to be fun to explore and RP in. If you actually liked Ringworld Engineers, you could even throw in thousands of humanoid species evolved to fill missing ecological niches (with tons of inter-species sex, w00t).

A few more I can't think of offhand...

TV:

Babylon 5 is a must. A *BIG* must.

Robotech/Macross

Maybe even Transformers d20? Rules to create your own Autobot.... mmmmm

Just as long as there isn't a Buffy, Xena, or Hercules d20...

Survivor d20? nah....

Movies:

Matrix -- pre Neo, hopefully.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon -- or something set in the same chinese mythological era.

hundreds more, just none that are coming to mind offhand.

Coming up in a couple of hours (5:00 Eastern, 4:00 Central) is "Idle Hands," starring Jessica Alba.

There are some great great scenes in that movie. (Those scenes star Jessica Alba, if you know what I mean.)
