Sathallarin Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I am retrofitting the Dragonlance Saga for my gaming group, using the RQII/Legends system. Is anyone familiar with the setting, that has sound advice for the War of the Lance era? Note: I've been playing both D&D and RQ since 84. I've got a firm grasp of the different mechanics, and am looking for ideas that I may not have already covered. I'm using "pacts" as described in "Guilds, Factions, and Cults" and "Elric of Melnibone". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonlance has always interested me! 1 Quote Check out our homebrew rules for freeform magic in BRP -> No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun!

g33k Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I know I'm very late to this party, but I gotta mention TDM's Classic Fantasy for Mythras. You likely already know Mythras as the "next version" of MRQ2/Legend; well... Classic Fantasy is the way to run AD&D with the Mythras engine... 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a snap to convert most of the setting conceits of DL to Classic Fantasy, particularly the knightly orders, towers of sorcery and so forth (of course you'd have to figure out what powers and abilities go along with each group). In some ways it would fit better than D&D's class structure, because a "class" in CF is almost more of a cult/guild/association relationship where you move up the ranks and gain additional abilities/powers/etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sathallarin Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 That is the way I had went. Glad that there were other like minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 So, I know this is an oldish topic but I just saw it and wanted to point you towards Simon Lipscomb's RQ3 Dragonlance page! https://web.archive.org/web/20060107112508/http://www.physiol.ox.ac.uk/~sl2/dl/dlmain.html There are some real gems in his writeup, great myth write ups, and I particularly liked his take on the Towers of High Sorcery. 1 1 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
