Jason D Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hey everyone - I'm in need of a small but dedicated group of playtesters who'll be willing to put a system I've devised for incorporating fencing style maneuvers into BRP combat. It provides a dramatic expansion to player options in fencing-style combat. As anyone familiar with the genre of planetary romance can attest, Earth-born heroes are inevitably skilled fencers, and as such the Interplanetary sourcebook wouldn't be complete without such a rules expansion. I've playtested it locally some, but need to conduct a "blind" test where I hand out the rules, without guidance, to outside players and collect their feedback. I'm looking for basic feedback, sample combats with a variety of characters, and someone to test as many as the maneuvers as they can and see if they work within the confines of the BRP combat system. If interested, drop me an email or a message through these forums and I'll send you the rules expansion. You will, of course, be credited in the book and I'll do what I can to see if we can get a contributor copy (.pdf at the least) sent to you. I can't promise anything, obviously. Thanks!

Charles Green Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 While I don't have a group playing BRP at the moment, I'm very glad that rules like these are surfacing, and I hope someone takes you up on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merak Gren Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Jason, I'd be interested in playtesting the fencing rules. As it is I have belatedly discovered El Capitan Alatriste and ordered the rpg from Spain. I understand it includes fencing maneouvres in a Gurps like system. I've got a group running DH at momenet but can stitch in some time to playtest. Cheers Damon Quote Likes to sneak around 115/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaira Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi Jason, I'd be very glad to take a crack at these - I don't know much about fencing, but I've read a heckuva lot of planetary romance and am a huge fan, so I'll try and drum up some Barsoomian goodness at our gaming table for a couple of sessions, see how it goes! Plus, of course, anything that adds options to the BRP combat system has got to be good! :-) Cheers, Sarah Quote "The Worm Within" - the first novel for The Chronicles of Future Earth, coming 2013 from Chaosium, Inc.

RosenMcStern Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 My current group is always debating about how to best simulate h-t-h combat and we have a gap in the current campaign where we could fill a couple of off-topic sessions. Count me in. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neorxnawang Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 for hero vs. several mooks, and hero vs. Guy of Gisborne level villain (possibly including a "letterbox" rule where no one shoots at the dueling characters in a big melee). I fenced in college, but more importantly, I luvs me some Errol Flinn and Flash Gordon serials. Have at thee!
