My Wishlist for Erik Mona

[Chris Coulter]

Wish list

Put me down for Cyberpunk and Big Robot Sci-Fi.

I'm just sick to death of working to save the damn world from Ubermages and Gods with sticks up their butts.

Lord, give me strengff (rolls eyes).

You need to run into a Witchlight Marauder...

Is it crunchy?

Seriously though, what the heck is it?

Give me mecha, lots of mecha, I want lots and lots of mecha. Mobile Suits, Valkryies, Zoids, Knight Saber Power Armor, Fuchikomas (They're so cute!), Labors, Aura Battlers, Robeasts, Combiner Mecha and more.

Until R.Tal surrenders to the inevitiable and puts out D20 Mekton Zeta, this is what I want to see!

At least one of the games suggested above is on the drawing board for about five issues from now.

We'll probably end up doing a lot of games that are best classified as "historical."

I'd love to do a steampunk game in the tradition of Perdido St. Station, personally.

Quite a Big Wish List ...

Now that I think of it, Dungeon/Polyhedron only comes out six times a year. And we've now got an impressive wish list for Erik to consider ... in addition to everything that he already had slated for the next year or so.

I'm going to run with the definate possibility that my wish for Magitech d20 is *not* the mini-game Erik is alluding to for "being in the work five issues down."

With that in mind, I wonder what WotC's position on fan-based convertions of Amazing Engine campaign settings into d20 System mini-games. If for anything else, I'll post a conversion of Magitech and ask Morrus to file it into the Conversion Library.

Just some thoughts. I'm ready for the backlash now.

Perdido St. Station...I had to go look that up. Looks interesting.

Lots of historical settings? Good. Plenty of resources out there for a historical campaign, and I was a big fan of the 2nd edition historical books.

Celts would be great...but I just saw "Count of Monte Cristo", and any setting from the swashbuckling era would be great, too.

Witchlight Marauders

Is it crunchy?

Seriously though, what the heck is it?

Salutations,

Witchlight Marauders come from spelljammer.

The rest of this comes from my always foggy memory:

They were an orcish creation to empty out worlds for their colonization.

There would be one large marauder that would be put on a planet- and as it ate, it would bud out smaller versions of itself (about half its size). Each would create a smaller version of itself, until the last level which was about the size of a dwarf.

They are hard to describe physically- but they are disgusting looking (think Mythos). The larger ones were like giant fleshy worms. The smaller ones would look like melted people with blades for hands and tendrils for mouths.

They are powerful alone, but considering they would attack in large waves, eat, and produce more- they could be nearly unstoppable.

They appeared in the Monstrouc Compedium and a spelljammer adventure about Scro. (Scro being more intelligent orcs.. with a horrid name.)

I always liked that name, even though it was just orcs spelled backwards...

Re: Re: My Wishlist for Eric Mona

While I'm here, I may as well throw out a wishlist of my own.

1. Watership Down/Bunnies and Burrows/NIMH/Twilight of the Cockroaches d20. RPGevolution did this pretty early with Vermin, and it was muchos cool, but I'd like to see something that plugs into other d20 games better as far as scale goes. Maybe five people in the world would like this, but I'm one of them. (Hmm - combine it with the upcoming Spelljammer d20 and you get Bunnies and Burroughs! )

I'd like to second this one. It would be so much fun.

Beware of the Hrududus and the Black rabbit of Inlay. Long live El-ahrairah and Frith .
