Eat your heart out, Fellow Gamers....

[Teflon Billy]

I'm actually honestly jealous, I've been looking for this book for a time (at discount price of course...) for my collection and I too hold extreme garbage in as much esteem as exemplary work.

In fact mediocrity irritates me most.

HAIL BROTHER, AND WELL MET!

I found the second book very worth having, but it is far from necessary to run a campaign.

There's a second book? Who lacked sufficient business acumen to decide to publish it? I honestly hope they're no longer in business -- some sins are unforgivable.

The mind wobbles.

HAIL BROTHER, AND WELL MET!

Oh lord they're organizing a cult!

Quick get a de-programmar and some warm water....

...and torches and pitchforks....

...just in case.

Way to go, TB!!

I also own Synnibarr (both books). I got them off e-bay, IIRC.

I keep the core Synnibarr book on my nightstand for reading when I cannot sleep (it sits there with the Exalted core book).

I have even once converted psi-elves for use in Rolemaster (many years ago this was). The character I converted was a Psi-Elf Mutant with Major Bio-Energy powers.


Who just cannot love a game with flying grizzly bears that shoot lasers from their eyes (and are considered a natural creature as well, IIRC).

Metamorphosis Alpha was a great game with that kind of thing! but, Synnibar...? :\

 

[BOZ]

i need a grizzly bear with snakes for eyes and shotguns for teeth, and tigers for feet that have shotguns for eyes, and bees that come out of their mouths that shoot laser beams from their eyes.

I actually read that till the very end . That game lets D&D 3.x look rules-lite .

Same here... I did like their concept for the open-ended d20 die...

if you roll a 20, roll again and add the roll-10, if the second roll is above 10.

Mysterious fourth edition

A while back I reported about a fourth ed Synnibarr on a swedish rpg site, but when I tried to find more info, I drew a blank.

The press release I quoted:

Worldship: Darkages ~ Special Announcement

"At the end of the Dark Ages, the Worldship shudders back to life: the past an enigma, the future a dream. Riddled with great mysteries forged in the cold furnace of time, the Worldship awaits those with the courage to unlock its secrets.You are one of Earth's descendants, a survivor, transformed by forces older than humanity to defend of the invisible legend of the Centiverse.Synnibarr."

Introducing "Worldship: Dark Ages"
A fourth version of The World of Synnibarr, but unlike any other version previously released:

"We are revamping the entire game in virtually every aspect, while keeping the complexity and depth of the world itself intact, something we believe set WOS apart from other RPG's back in its day. As for when it will be ready for production, we have our goals set on Christmas 2004, but its truly too early to tell at this point." - Dale Bradburn Pres. LOS Games

... [snip]...

Let the critics cringe before the might of the ultimate RPG power game and the most diverse and all-encompassing multi-genre RPG ever made. "The World of Synnibarr" where anything is possible, and everything is playable!

The URL was www.losgames.com, but that is dead now. Anyone else know anything about this major event in rpg history?

Cheers!
