doomedpc Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think the somewhat romanticized adventurous flavour of the period would lend itself well for an RPG adaptation. Perhaps taking the more cinematic approach of Pirates & Dragons would be fitting. It's goods to know we share some weak spots and I'll try to appeal to them more often so expect some not quite subliminal messages. Awesome! The more I think on it, the more I'd like to play it. I'd have probably gone for straight historical, but adding some magic and horror would be very interesting. I've read around the political history, now I might start searching out some folk tales... 1 Quote Peter Cakebread Cakebread&WaltonO:) Purveyors of Fine Imaginings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorax Transtellaris Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Point well made - a palpable hit And it did make for a great game that I believe got quite a bit of critical acclaim as well. If you ever do a Mexican Revolution game I'd even be willing to help out financially, obviously only as much as I can afford. For general Kickstarter appeal you could throw in some optional Cthulhu Mythos among the more folkloric supernatural stuff, so the book could also serve as a historical sourcebook for Cthulhu fans. 2 Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nclarke Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 You know what the connection is between Mr Cakebread's favourites periods of History. It's the big hats - Mexican Revolution and English Civil War are both big hat wars. There's nothing like a big hat preferably with a large feather for stylish troops.

It was always going to be a toss up between Mexican revolutionaries, the Nihang Singh or the Coldstream Guards Edited February 22, 2014 by doomedpc Quote Peter Cakebread Cakebread&WaltonO:) Purveyors of Fine Imaginings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Obviously the series of uprisings and conflicts commonly referred to as The Mexican Revolution, 1910-20, sometimes referred to as the Mexican Civil War. Which other conflicts have you seen referred to as a revolution in Mexico? Well, I've seen the Maximilian war referred to as a revolution with the Juaristas called revolutionaries. Also there were various uprisings either side of the 1910-20 one. Obviously that's the big one though. Don't forget the eleven-year conflict (from 1810 to 1821) that threw out the Spaniards and won Mexican independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the Mexican War of Independence. If it says "Mexican Revolution" there is really no mistaking what it refers to.

doomedpc Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 So, how's this coming along, then? Ha ha - well, up to now, it hasn't, beyond me making a big pile of all my books on the era/region. I've been busy writing all the KS stuff for P&D and bringing out my new OneDice system and settings. I'm at the stage where I have actually cleared the decks - next week I'll finish OneDice Fantasy (the 6th book of the series), then I'm probably going to take a stroll back to D100/Renaissance... I'm not promising anything (I have a few other options on the table to consider), but I'll probably start slinging together some story-boarding/structure plans. 2 Quote Peter Cakebread Cakebread&WaltonO:) Purveyors of Fine Imaginings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, I was just pulling your leg. Not that it wouldn't be extremely awesomely cool, of course. But of course you should work on what needs to be done or what you feel most like working on. I'm really looking forward to what else you have in store for P&D! In the mean time, I'll just leave this here...
