[QUOTE="Catavarie, post: 3158743, member: 30451"] While surfing the net today I had a thought what about a Transformers RPG? There are several homebrewed versions on the net but none of them seem to work well although they each have certain good points. Of course in order to do anything widespread with it once complete we'd have to obtain licensing from Hasbro (or who ever owns the license now). If not transformers there are dozens of other old school cartoons and TV shows that my generation (yes I realize I'm older than most here) still love to this day that would be great backdrop for RPGs. Just a thought. Also someone had mentioned creating our own system I have done this twice now and its not as easy as one may think. I created a Modified D6 system about 9 years ago and lost it when my computer at the time crashed and a Modified D10 System I was working on was lost last year when my Laptop decided to stop working...needless to say I'm now a back up fiend. I could easily reconstruct the "meat" of both systems in a relatively short time the problem is circumstance rulings. How do you decide what happens in any one of hundreds of possible situations? That is what bogs game creators down. Although with thousands of hours of Game Testing with different groups of players one can eventually encounter most all of these situations. As for a GMF Campaign Setting: We could simply use one of our member's Homebrew as a base and then flesh it out more fully and create a truly magnificent Universe. And then the individual campaigns could each be written for our setting. P.S. I'll work on reconstructing both my D6 and D10 rule sets (also having thoughts of a diceless system using perhaps card instead) and will hopefully be able to soon get my Homebrew up in the appropriate thread if anyone else is curious or would like to input their thoughts on such things. P.S.S. I'll bring the GMF back from dead myself with all these posts if I have too. :p [/QUOTE]
