[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1587560, member: 9646"] Thanks for the info. Actually, I do have Nyambe; and I even have my name printed in it! :D Before Nyambe was printed, I did speak with Chris Dolunt about his setting. In fact I was interested in it, because there is three novels which are among my prefered fantasy novels of all times: IMARO. The only problem unfortunately, is that I only did have the first three books, and have never been able to find the fourth on the Internet. Chris didn't know about these books, which I found odd since I believed he had created his setting to do an "Imaro" game. These Imaro books are almost impossible to find now (I speak for the 1-3 because 4 doesn't exists anymore), but I can tell you, they are SOOO GOOOOD! Basically it's about a black Conan, but much better written (unless it is much better translated, since I did read them in French), with stunning exotism, and a really terrific evil magic (the Mchawi) in comparison to which D&D necromancers seem loving vanilla guys. My only comment will be that to play Imaro, Grim Tales is certainly the way to go, not typical DnD. Though I don't intend to run an Imaro campaign anyway. If you want to know, I am slowly preparing a campaign that will be similar to that Amethyst setting which link is in the signature. Only that I do not intend to use the author's rules and conversions, but rather full d20 modern and d20 future for Techas, and Grim Tales for echas (well, I will see better when I do get the book anyway). That's what I want to do: a savage world, with barbarians and knights, and horrors from beyond (and all magic is Lovecraftian like, not cool spells), but also here and there, the last people from a glorious technological past with mecha, laser-guns, etc. Nonetheless, all of this needs to be carefully prepared, but this is a pleasure in itself, and I have time to do this.
