  1. Batman and Chuck Norris, after initially trying to beat each other to a pulp, would eventually team up to battle the aliens who had set them against one another as part of the most recent invasion scheme.

    Darksied would be like "so I'm retiring" then Chuck Norris would say "you retire when I say you retire"

  2. Been thinking over and going to add some elements. Along with the new Nature Magic, Natural Armour Points and lots of new spells, there will be a lineage option for characters. Don't want to say much about it, but it will make things quite colourful for character options! :)

  3. But, If I had to it choose my dream combo, it would be the subject of 90% of all geek conversation; Star Trek vs. Star Wars.*

    *Important note: Please don't accept this as a challenge. I already know who would win, and I'm not sharing.  ;-)

    Everyone knows Minions would would in this one

  4. In honor of all the wonderful BRP settings your company has published that I own and enjoy--Merrie England, Crusaders of the Amber Coast, Dragon Lines, The Celestial Empire, ROME and Wind on the Steppes, you have both my enthusiastic support and my crowd funding dollars, Paolo.

    May RevolutionD100 ever remain a...present concern :-)

    Long live Alephtar Games!

    With the skill they've shown in their publication quality, I have no doubt that this will be a great addition to the d100 ruleset!

  5. Any further updates for us Auyl?

    Still working on some rewrite stuff, noticed some of the setting info really needed to be worked on so slaving away on that. Been progressing more slowly than I had hoped, but still hoping for September to get this on DTRPG!

  6. Very interesting. I'm curious at to how this turns out and getting my hands on a copy.

    I've thought about developing my own d100 game, but I love the Legend/Runequest and BRP system too much that I can't honestly find myself diverting from that system enough to make it worth it.

  7. I haven't done it personally, but I do know that, like you said, the powercreep goes up really fast so unless your character's skills are keeping pace, it'll get crazy hard really fast. I'd personally allow heroic hit points (like you suggested) and probably a faster skill percentage progression. Or else just really scale back the NPC's in a crazy way and make them more attuned to where the player's are at, which might be a bit tricky, but after a few test runs you should get the hang of it.

  8. I'd only given my impression based on the cover, not purporting that I actually believe it's like Shadowrun or anything in particular, yet.

    Being as it's for BRP of course I'm going to give it a deeper look... doubly so because I'm fond of the guy's other writing... and regardless I'm going to look at it for resources I can steal for other settings.

     

    With what's on the Chaosium page and the cover, it's really hard to say what the book is or isn't about. Being a d100 book from a major company, I'm going to pick it up and see for myself what it's about and go from there. You never know what it will truly be like until you have it with time to read it.

    In some ways I tire of the vampire thing, but there are still sub-genres of vampire folklore that will interest me (like nWoD type stuff), but I won't know until I have it.

  9. I've been hearing a lot about these systems for a bit on different forums and will probably pick up HARP just to see what it is about. Unfortunately, Rolemaster isn't available as a POD on DTRPG so will probably have to wait and see what the new edition does.

  10. I'm with Trippy Hippy on this one. It strikes me more as True Blood turned up to 11 rather than Shadowrun. Maybe, when coupled with Enlightened Magic, it'll be BRP's answer to The Dresden Files. Personally I would have preferred early Hellblazer with the forces of magic still being secret and only known to those with power.

    Granted, all this is based purely on the cover, what the web-site blurb says, and flipping through a copy at GenCon.

    I'm not going to make any assumptions just based on the cover, a Shadowrun like world wouldn't disappointment me. But in the light of this discussion, there are a few different vampire settings out there where vampires are known to the general populace and they are either accepted or hunted, unlike the sickening love-fest that is True Blood. This could be something entirely different altogether or it could like others have said a remake of something else. Hard to say. With True Blood being so mainstream I wouldn't be surprised if it borrowed elements from that, but for my own respect towards Chaosium, I surely hope not. For all we know it could be very nWOD with the vampires known instead of trying to hide. THAT I'd be very okay with.

  11. Hopefully getting you guys closer to a new printing with errata! In hardback...with leather cover...and gold trim pages...  (I know...patients) :)

     

    Might get one made of deep one skin or printed in Cthulhu ink before this comes .... just sayin', but I've been surprised before :D

  12. Has anyone converted this game setting to Magic World/BRP? Seems like all Warhammer needed to make it a totally kick ass fantasy game world was a game system like BRP!

    I can't see it being that hard. Magic World almost invites that type of setting. You'd just have to reference other d100 games for stats on black-powder weapons and maybe get some d20 sources to get some ideas on various demons/devils to use.
