Bought on a whim without realising the BRP Central connection. Well worth the price of entry - Suburban Commandos indeed. Great to come across someone making BRUGE material rather than handwringing over the SAN rules, etc.

I’ve posted some Pulp adaptations for Mythras: Stock characters https://the180fantasyproject.wordpress.com/2022/11/13/mythras-pulp/ Firearms https://the180fantasyproject.wordpress.com/2022/11/16/mythras-pulp-guns/ Explosives https://the180fantasyproject.wordpress.com/2022/11/20/big-pulp-explosions/ Aeroplanes https://the180fantasyproject.wordpress.com/2022/11/18/mythras-air-pageant-of-1930/ Scenario https://the180fantasyproject.wordpress.com/2023/01/13/the-devil-in-nyc/

There is a pulp d100 derivative entitled Gentlemen vs Demons. It uses the CoC 7e 1-100 characteristics.

Thanks. Found it. Great image.

Does anyone happen to know when and where Entarios the Supporter, the Ernalda priestess at Greenstone, first saw the light of day? I first came across her in the Hero Wars supplement Barbarian Adventures published in 2001 but I wonder if she goes back to the 1970s.

I think the BGB is a product of a particular time and place (a good one, I should say). Any replacement would, I suspect, be very different in concept, perhaps based on CoC 7e.

Personally, I would be interested in reading a version of what you said.

Milites is modest fan supplement for anyone who fancies hacking Pendragon, and specifically the Paladin variant, so that the core text is the Nibelungenlied and the action takes places in the historical 11th century.Milites N3.pdf

Perceforest for Mythras has an excellent system for domain development. So too has Crusaders of the Amber Coast for BRP although that is out-of-print. The Riskland Campaign in RQ3 Dorastor has a domain system that is less medieval than the first two mentioned.

Real paladins in honour-based societies had a pretty good grip on its limitations: “Take off your armour, Marshal: why are you armed?” “I prefer it this way, if you please, sire. My armour doesn’t bother me. I shan’t disarm till I know what we’ve got to deal with! An unarmed man won’t last in a serious clash or crisis, and we’ve no idea what the French are going to do.” The History of William Marshal The Marshal behaves like an average D&D PC.

Thanks. I’ll certainly be looking out for any new Crusaders material. I’m also glad that I have not missed anything for SM.

Were any adventures for Stupor Mundi published beyond “Kidnapping in Al-Halisa”, “Lord of the Golden Eagle” and “The Hound of Adranos”? Personally, I thought Stupor Mundi/Crusaders of the Amber Coast was a fantastic setting.

There are various colour maps of Pendragon’s Salisbury floating around the internet. Some of them have clearly been edited for extra detail. Do these maps derive from a commercial product and is that product still available? I own the The Great Pendragon Campaign (Nocturnal, 2015): the maps in that book seem related to the colour versions but are not the same.

I think that the most difficult part of a conversion is that Borderlands emulated a 1970s Sam Peckinpah western sensibility. Does one wish to replicate that mood? What’s the post-genocidal endgame? Buggering off to Balazar always seemed weak.

As mentioned above, the final illustration looks like Warhammer. Specifically Lustria for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. If one looks at the frontispiece for the WFB Lustria supplement (2004) it shows distinct similarities - albeit drawn by another artist in a very different style - to the right half of the illustration under discussion. That would make the humans Imperial conquistadors marching up from their anchored ships.
