[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7721876, member: 42582"] What sort of "framework" do you have in mind? Recently (as in, over the past few months) I've been running sessions of Marvel Heroic RP hacked into a fantasy game (taking some tips from the Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide). My preparation for these sessions has been (i) writing up some pre-gen PCs, then (ii) writing up some opponents. I've also been ad-libbing opponents (from the Hacker's Guide, and from my MHRP books, and from general system knowledge) but some classics (eg a Crypt Thing) needed to be written up in advance. There is no prep as far as world-building, storyline etc are concerned - the world is "vikings", and the storyline unfolds through play with the initial "hooks" provided by the players in [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?530990-Into-the-North-Cortex-Plus-Heroic-Fantasy-actual-play]the first session[/url]. And because MHRP/Cortex is a descriptor-based system, it's pretty easy to ad-lib situations without needing to prep them (eg when the Crypt Thing teleported the PCs deeper into the dungeon, I didn't need a map or prepared backstory - I just assigned some descriptors and we went on from there). I'm not sure how what I've described relates to your idea of a "framework", though. [/QUOTE]
