The Thursday group are talking about becoming land holders and the bigger game. They are returning from the crashed ship with cryonic gear and a medical officer who they think is an android. Slunk the formerly-Elf Warlock has mutated a bit, helped Merope to convert from Frostism (Lady Arctise) to Siltism (Lord Worm).
My Weekend crew keep going with a D&D 5e game and the Encounter Critical UWoM game I am writing. The writing is going along nicely. I'm working on vehicles right now. It'll have OS conversion built in, and a much faster CharGen than EC does, even with more stuff added.
I'd like to go into more detail about ECUWoM, but I don't want to jinx or overshare: show, don't tell.
I have plans to release material for Goblinoid Games Starships & Spacemen 2e, and also use GORE for another version.
Can give more info. on the Starships & Spacemen 2nd ed. material? That is a cool game...
ReplyDeleteChris,
DeleteI have nothing to share yet. I'll announce when there is something.
Thanks.
Kind of glad we got in on the 5E version.
ReplyDeleteHave yet to read Starships & Spacemen, but GORE is essentially BRP with the serial numbers filed off. Not a terrible system, but certain aspects of BRP don't rub me perfectly the right way.
I feel like Eclipse Phase was sort of BRP's spiritual successor as far as percentile systems go, and that EP made the mechanics of resolving inter-personal conflict a bit more streamlined (though character creation in Eclipse Phase is probably an order of magnitude more consuming than BRP).
EP is too much for me.
DeleteBRP / GORE is what the cool kids played after getting over AD&D. ;) I've played years of BRP. You'll hear no ill of it from me... except the roll = or under percentages are too low, and it should be add and roll high, and there are too many fumbles. But other than that... :D
5e is a nice compromise between 2nd Ed AD&D and 3.x. Using Skills & Powers, however, is not likely to make it better. :D
