what have you done with Grim Tales?

[Galethorn]

So what type of campaign do you run with GT?

A homebrew fantasy setting which would have taken waaay too much work to adapt D&D to.

Do you use material from other d20 sources?

Yes; I took several systems from UA.

Did it take you a long time to adapt GT to whatever setting you wanted to create?

It took me about about one afternoon of reading, since about 98% of my setting is fluff rather than crunch.

What types of characters have your players created?

A knight (in the general sense rather than the 'rides on a horse and kills people with a lance'), a half-giant warrior prone to grappling and using improvised weapons, an elven 'sword-monk' who relies on his speed in combat, a dwarven skald who wields a mighty hammer-horn, an elfling (think of a shrunken elf) woman who rides a large (and by that I just mean big; not 'gets 10-foot reach'; it's actually medium) eagle, and a daring young warrior with hints of elven blood.

Any other info about your gaming experience with GT you want to add?

The players really enjoy having action points. That's about it, since we haven't really gotten much done in the last couple of games.

I kind of had an idea of a world that was slowly dying but no one really knew why or actually noticed at all. The players gain some piece of knowledge and set out to find out what the deal is. [...] The corruption has brought about weird mutations and weird magical effects. Horror, insanity, and the GT magic system would all fit the bill as well as Cthulhu d20.

Oh, you mean the Warhammer world I'll be converting the free WH adventure "Fear the Worst" as soon as someone in my gaming group buys Grim Tales. I've always wanted to play the award-winning The Enemy Within campaign, but the warhammer rules were made in the 80's and are broken as all get-out. I figure that upping the magic a touch (maybe allow the improved caster level + ability hardness feat) and allowing Chaos Cultists to cast without penalty should be sufficient for a Grim Tales campaign. *sigh* Now I have to go onto ebay for 20-year old campaign books to convert...
