I ran a Fading Suns game using True20 and it went super-duper well but then two players moved away, leaving two guys who were only luke-warm to gaming with each other and me and so it died

I am planning on an Iron Kingdom game right now... based out of Five Fingers involving pirates, zombies and dragonblighted horrors galor soon

Today, at lunch, I snuck down to the book store and picked up Edgar Rice Burroughs Tales of Mars (a compilation of the first three books) and I’m very much looking forward to reading it and all the while mining it for inspiration for my homebrew.

Heck yeah! I've been reading the same book off and on for the last month thinking the setting would make an exciting game.

I've only looked a the preview, but "Mars: the RPG" from Adamant looks like it would be great for additional inspiration!

Somebody seriously needs to review Mars! I keep looking at it, but the pdf is just expensive enough for me not to buy on speculation (thought it may very easily turn out to be worth every red penny).

 

[Arrgh! Mark!]

Currently setting up a fantasy airships, pirates and so on game set using a homebrewed world but with a lot of Iron Kingdoms stylistic tendancies and incorporating christianity into the world, set in a 1600 - 1700 style era.

Basically, the first part of the game will be based in and around Five Fingers. So very cool.

I haven't picked up the companion yet, but if its true that it does give a lot of cool stuff I'm really contemplating it.

This is only a slight issue I have with True 20, because it's fairly easily rectified but I would of liked more feat chains; I know this takes up valuable space but while I feel that warriors and experts are no longer particularly weak, they don't have the cool points that adepts can get basically.

Just a slight issue for me anyway.

If you have any conversion notes laying around from this game, I'd love to see them. Just today I was considering YotZ for True20, and that it would be cool.

The True20 Companion is fantastic; I really recommend you get it. As far as feats go, yeah, there could always be more, but it is easy enough to add in anything you want from d20 or to create new ones as you see fit!

Running: Blood Throne (intermittently, time being an issue currently)
Up next: True Cyberpunk (I hope)
Planned: a few other things. We'll see.


I'd recommend these for running fantasy (though you can do a lot more with them):

Adventure Roleplaying
Bestiary
Companion

What I'm playing

• Dies the Fire

[/list]

Iwatt, I have to ask... Is "Dies The Fire" based on the S.M.Stirling novel of the same name? If so, that sounds like such a cool idea! Very, very cool series there, filled with some interesting opportunities for RP for the right kind of group.

Enjoy,
Flynn

I'm pretty sure it is as I seem to recall a thread where it was discussed.
