Dream Settings (Publishers Take NOTE!)

[Chun-tzu]

B5 d20 is a cool idea, but at least one attempt for a fan-based conversion that I know of, and which has a Yahoo group that has been dead for months, fizzled fairly quickly. It could be as the series grows distant in memory, with no real word as to whether Legends of the Rangers will be made into a new series, people are losing interest in B5 in general. Use a cross between the Star Wars d20 system and d20 Modern (or d20 Call of Cthulhu) and you may be more thn halfway there. Same thing with Dune d20.

B5: Legend of the Rangers: JMS confirmed in a Usenet post that the Sci-Fi Channel is moving away from space-oriented shows and is NOT picking up the TV movie as a spin-off series.

Moving away from space-oriented shows? Sounds like how Mtv moved away from showing music videos. That is a piece of news that confirms, once and for all, that SciFi is one of the absolute lamest channels on TV. Right up there with Comedy Central and its almost supernatural ability to find and air the worst 80s comedies ever made.

D20 A-Team. Y'know, just a little 32-page sourcebook. It'd be so cool.

 

[Shadowdancer]

Alien/Aliens

Dennis L. McKiernan's Mithgar books

Starship Troopers -- the book, not the movie

Black Company -- oh yes, this would be cool

Don't have a specific book or movie in mind, but a setting similar to Viking explorers in North America would be interesting. Low-level magic, with runecasters vs. medicine men

The comic book series Kabuki

The Mad Max movies -- the last two would be best

 

[Shadowdancer]

Oh, and from anime:

Cowboy Bebop

Ghost in the Shell

Princess Mononoke

i'm sure would love to have the rules to do everything from running a business upto running a town or kingdom, improving it, levying taxes, building improvements, hiring and managing staff and defenders, having random events occur, that occasionally require the PC's attnetion and so forth..

Definately - and I'm working on this now - a system that can be seemlessly integrated with DnD-type adventuring and range from Families to Empires. Will let you know when I'm done

D20 A-Team. Y'know, just a little 32-page sourcebook. It'd be so cool.

Yes this would be cool _ I wonder if Spycraft would work...

Murdoch = Wheelman, Faceman, BA Baracus = soldier...

 

[Suldulin]

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

Oriental Adventures?

 

[Frostmarrow]

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

Maybe I'll get CoC, with a bit of spycraft and roll my own.

I watched Resident Evil last night. At one point you get to see the SWAT-team from the computers monitoring eye. It focuses on the team leader and all kinds of useless information comes up in blurbs. It tells you what weaponry the leader is carrying and so on. But then something interesting comes up:

Name: One
Capacity: Team leader
Character level: Unknown

I only wish the computer could assess what character level One had.
