[QUOTE="grufflehead, post: 2767620, member: 35977"] Sounds like you had a problem with DTRPG - funnily enough I use them because I had issues with RPGNow.... I think you can also get it direct from 0One's own site ([url]www.0onegames.com[/url]) and if you do decide to buy all 3 there's a bundle with a small cost break available. Let me know if you go that route, I'd be interested to hear how you rate the second and third parts. Going back to tLotSG, I haven't read it all through, but as far as I got there were numerous bits where I found myself chuckling at the obvious similarity of the plot to a certain Gemmel book ;) but I also found it reasonable easy to come up with ways of adapting/changing some of the encounters to make them less 'D&D-ish' and more like the style of Gemmell. Without seeing the other 2 I don't know how quickly they follow on chronologically, but I've now skimmed through both Song of the Blade and Dark Harbour and would think there's potential to adapt and slot them in, which would make for a fair bit of play (and a good few levels worth) without too much writing of your own. Going back to the original question of the thread, having now read some adventures that capture the desired feel, maybe the system is less important. I certainly still stick by my assertion that IH would be very good for this style with it's feat system - I also noticed that over on the IH boards, they are taking submissions for zones and stunts (2 of the IH game mechanics designed to make combat particularly cinematic/dramatic) and will be showcasing suggestions next month. I would be perfectly happy (if I were playing in a game like this) to allow the GM free reign with things like Nadir shamen, or characters like the Thirty, without necessarily sticking to the Arcanist class per se, as long as it was inkeeping with the books.
