I'm planning on doing some kind of survival horror. I'm thinking about using the Resident Evil universe (video games, for sure) for some of my settings.

Btw, I'm surprised I'm not hearing anything about an official Resident Evil P&P role-playing game (this may be due to my ignorance of the rpg business). The games' setting pretty much has everything needed for a full-blown rpg setting--including campaign play. There is even a source book for the setting.

With all the mutant beasty madness that you could expect from CoC (but none of the cosmic terror or magic or significant loss of SAN). It would also be a great espionage setting (which is what the background of the story is). All it needs is the BRP rules. It would be a more action oriented version of CoC.

I would also like to do some hard sf games. And maybe a game in a setting like Perfect Dark or Deus Ex.

There's a D20 Farscape book out. I own a copy, but I hate D20, so I can't say much about it except that it has a lot of info. on the characters and universe.

You can get it right here:

Maybe Metalocalypse from Adult Swim (maybe even the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as well) might make for interesting role playing.

I would like to see a 'realistic' ninjas or 'realistic' martial arts setting. Or even wuxia.

I would really like to see Lexx converted to an rpg. I haven't seen most of the series, to be honest. But what I did see was really warped.

Manual for micro dwellings

This is another idea that is proposed for human dwelling in/on water that could work for an alien species.

This is for humans, but it might be somewhat helpful.

Underwater Habitats - Trilobis 65 Floating Home

Thank you very much for the interesting idea !

Currently I think the aliens will have three different architectural Styles: An

archaic style for the oldest parts of their cities, another style for their modern

buildings, and a very functional style for their technical infrastructure.

The archaic style will probably look like a mixture of Gaudi and Giger, but less

colorful than Gaudi's buildings (these aliens cannot perceive colors) and less

threatening than Giger's artwork for the first Alien movie.

The design you proposed would fit extremely well for the aliens' modern style,

I think. If I did understand your description, the interior could look somewhat

like the interior of one of those old baroque theaters, with rows of boxes or

shelves around the interior wall, but made of a translucent glass-like material

- sounds fascinating.

You could watch Star Wars Episode 1 (if you can stand Jar Jar Binks long enough) and notice how the outsides of the Gungan buildings look. If I remember right, Jar Jar and the Jedis had to swim into the building where they met with the Gungan leader.

As far as interior is concerned, I don't really know what you could find. Hopefully this was at least a little help.

Hi, my name is Ben Nehring, and I'm new to the forum. And I'm fairly new to BRP--though I've known about CoC for almost forever and even played a little of it. I've also own a core book. But it's buried deep in storage.

I've played some D&D in the 80's. Loved the concept of role-playing, but hated the system. Then my friends and I switched over to Warhammer and we all thought the system was a great deal better.

However, over the years I've lost touch with those friends and over the years I've tried to find people who are interested in pen and paper rpgs. Haven't found any I wanted to play with yet. The last group I really considered playing with were really into the Vampire: the Masquerade game a bit too much with real life bloodletting/blood drinking. I pretty much gave up hope. Everybody else I've made friends with have very little to no interest in p&p rpgs.

Then I stumbled across Mythic Role Playing

Mythic RPG

Which allows you to play any P&P rpg solo. I strongly recommend the Game Master Emulator.

Lately, I was strongly considering using FUDGE with Mythic, but FUDGE can't do realistic gaming well, and I would really like to play survival horror games based on my fave video games: Resident Evil, Siren, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, etc. And for those, you need a bit of crunch, otherwise you'll just have something that resembles a Paul W.S. Anderson film. (While I actually do like Paul W.S. Anderson films, his screenplays and directing style thoroughly defeats the purpose of survival horror). Which led me back to CoC. I recently ordered the 6th edition and I expect to receive it sometime this week.

I would also like to create a game based on Tenchu (my most favorite video game series of all time). I would also like to do something that's "hard" space opera, like Starcluster and Jovian Chronicles, but with a cooler system than either of them has. Plus, I have a few ideas of my own. And BRP seems to fit the bill. I can't wait for the BRP core book to be released.

I think I'll give the gift of my two fave hard science resources for anyone who's interested. They could be very useful for world building:

Space Settlement

Btw, I downloaded Flashing Blades a week ago. It seems like it could be very compatible with BRP. Is it very compatible?
