Grim Tales for Fantasy?

[Aus_Snow]

It was never reprinted to the best of my knowledge, nor is the whole book available as a PDF, both realities that make it a pretty poor choice for PBP or PBEM (where pretty much every player needs their own copy of the rules to follow along).

Good points. I wasn't sure if it had been reprinted, but I knew PDFs were out of the question. Not sure why exactly, but yeah, crap. :\

It's been out of the question only because I am lazy.

The new "surge" for an OGC Wiki ensures that Grim Tales will be available.

I'd join up (I've actually got both GT and Slavelords), but the few times I've tried PbP have fallen apart rapidly. My own experience has been that it's even more inconsistent than IRC play.

I'm sure there's plenty of counter-examples, I'm just saying that for _me_, I don't bother trying PbP stuff anymore.

I was enjoying the heck out of a Grim Tales / Slavelords of Cydonia PbP, but we got interrupted by the Great Fire of '06. Unfortunately, the lazy-ass DM never picked up the pieces, so it died an inglorious death.

OTOH, maybe he just didn't like running Grim Tales? :wink:

I think GT can be great for fantasy games. It would work very well in Warhammer's world, and also I guess it would work very well for an Elric or Hawkmoon game. However, in the case of an Elric game I would add to it some demon-summoning book (there is a big one, by an obscure 3PP, for d20 somewhere on the internet, but forgot its name and location).

You've submitted it to the OSC Wiki? Coolio. Can't wait to edit it

Yeah. I was enjoying that too... :| I was so scarred by the experience that I left d20 for Savage Worlds...
