heathd666 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 so is there anything in the works for this? i read this article here https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?764091-necro-appropriately-After-The-Vampire-Wars-Is-HERE!/page4 where Loz and Mr Snead spoke briefly about something After the Vampire Wars porting over to Mythras. so any possibility for this happening? or a After the Vampire Wars serial numbers filed off for Mythras?

lawrence.whitaker Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes, it's happening. John's just turned in the manuscript and it'll be reviewed during March. 9 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsanford Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Wow! That is so awesome! Will it be basically the same book like that put out by Chaosium or will there be new stuff. Would a person that already has AtVW benefit from the new book? Awesome! Awesome! Quote Check out our homebrew rules for freeform magic in BRP -> No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun!

Until we can fully review the content, I really don't know the extent of changes John's made. And that won't be for a few weeks yet. But I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and assume you're happy with the news... ☺️ 3 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathd666 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 i definitly am happy!!!!!! i bought the first "After the Vampire Wars" book at gen con and was told i would get a free pdf. never did but i couldnt find the receipt either so i bought a second copy of the book january or february of last year with the idea of scanning it to get a pdf because i dont usually carry physical books i carry a tablet with my gaming library on it. but never got around to it. so hopefully when it is published i can get a pdf of it because i still dont have one of it yet and cant find where to buy a pdf of it lol. im definitly new to mythras but an old player of d100 so looking forward to the direction that design mechanism is going in.

Simlasa Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 This is interesting news. I bought a copy of the Chaosium version... based primarily on my enjoyment of Mr. Snead's previous work. In truth, on reading it, I thought it was a bit... undercooked. But I've felt that way about several of the later Chaosium books... like Atomic Age Cthulhu and Astounding Adventures. Not the author's fault I suspect. So I'll look forward to the Mythras version with renewed enthusiasm. If only The Chronicles of Future Earth could have made the crossing as well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsanford Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Assuming the book sells well, would it be fair to conclude The Design Mechanism would publish some adventures / scenarios for the setting?

lawrence.whitaker Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That do not involve Mythras. And I've no idea what system may be used.

Well, Sarah (or someone from Mindjammer Press) should revise their website. https://mindjammerpress.com/chronicles/ still says that they are planning to use RQ6 from DesignMechanism, expected in the 2014/2015 timeframe ...

Yeah, that's still the initial text from 2013 up there ... I've been asking about Future Earth in mindjammer presses own forums, and the only thing that seems for sure at the moment is that it is not going to be for Mythras. Sarah stated somewhere that she first needs to figure out a deal for the publication of her Future Earth novels ... I'm guessing she's probably planning for a stand-alone game by now. However, Mindjammer press has a lot on their plate with fullfilling their extremely succesful Mindjammer kickstarter (and as a "everything in print" backer I can say that they're doing a great job). I suspect it will be a while before there's any substantial news about Future Earth. 1 Quote My RPG Blog: Swanosaurus - A Fierce and Beautiful Creature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Well that's a shame. The Future Earth book was a great setting for BRP, and deserved to be expanded in a fully realised setting. I would really have preferred that it used a BRP system as a core system (regardless of whether it's BGB, CoC 7E, RQ, Mythras, OQ, Renaissance, Revolution D100, etc). I don't think I'll follow it over to something like FATE or it's own system. As much as I like the setting, my 'GM hat' thinks mainly in BRP Family game mechanics these days, so I'm not that big on learning completely new systems anymore. Getting back to the original post, I'm pretty happy that we look like seeing more work from Jon Snead somewhere in the contemporary BRP Family of games.

Well, I kind of suspect that it will still be BRP-based ... I seem to remember Sarah stating somewhere that it would definitely not be Fate, but something more crunchy. But I must also stress that I have no special knowledge about the whole thing. BTW, "After the Vampire Wars" sounds interesting. Hadn't heard anything about this setting before.

I'm excited to hear this! I'm a fan of Snead's work but never managed to get my hands on the Chaosium version. Hopefully Enlightened Magic can be converted as well, or even incorporated into the Vampire Wars book. Both are fairly slim volumes, IIRC. Mythras doesn't need another magic system, but a low-key ritual magic system would be a welcome complement to the quick and powerful magic of the core book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baragei Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Chronicles of Future Earth would fit right in with all the other potentially great games they've got begging for mercy on the 2d20-rack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Well after perusing my new CONAN rpg pdf, the 2D20 system is more in the BRP ballpark than it is in the FATE ballpark; so it will be a reasonable fit for Chronicles of Future Earth. However I still would prefer it in a BRP engine, but that no longer seems to be happening. 1 Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"
