Chaot Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've been kicking around the idea of a kitchen sink fantasy game for a while. In my head it's called Monster World. I've wanted to run it but haven't committed the time to just do it. I did make some character sheets though. What follows is a front sheet and some really specific back sheets. On my list to do is a sheet for Psychic Powers and one for Shamanism, as well as a more general back sheet that combines a bunch of the power systems. Enjoy.

Questbird Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) The character sheets look cool, but why wouldn't you just use one of the many excellent generic fantasy BRP variants including: Elric!/Stormbringer Magic World Or if you are one of the crazy ones who prefers their rules to be currently in print, what about OpenQuest Revolution D100 Mythras Classic Fantasy Legend or even Fire and Sword rather than making YAFBRP (there you go, a free name idea for it!)

Chaot Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Haha! Rules wise, the basic core mechanics are mostly Elric! with some of my own house rules and combat styles taken from RQ6. Psychic powers are taken directly from the BGB. Wizardry is my own answer to D&D type magic and enchantment. Sorcery is a mix of Elric! and Corum as well as my own house rules stuff. Shamanism is very loosely based on RQ3, but expanded a bit. Elemental paths are adapted from Mongoose's Magic in the Young Kingdom and mixed with some GURPS stuff. Theurgy mostly comes from Gods of Law. Druidism is mostly made up with D&D as a starting point and the Beast and Plant Lords thrown in. Vows, Blessings and Miracles take a little inspiration from RQ3 but are mostly its own thing. Alchemy is still pretty up in the air right now. I may also include a martial arts system similar to that in Dragon Lines The point is I want to throw everything in there. Character creation makes use of The Big Damn Book of Monsters. I want all sorts of magic flying around too. I'm currently putting together one page sheets that explain how each system works for easy reference. 1 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you'll get it to a OGL'able state and share it here... or maybe commercially-publish'able state, & either KS it yourself or take it to an existing publisher. I look forward to any of the these! 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simlasa Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I like the name. Without reading more I picture something like the old Odd Rods collector cards. Monsters racing each other and getting in bar fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 It's odd. For years my games have been humanocentric. Elves and dwarves and stuff was something that I was definitely not interested in. Now I have an overwhelming desire to run something with every monster under the sun as potential PCs in a world where creatures just naturally live together in a semi-civilized manner. Having trouble finding images that sum this up. Something like this. 1 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Something where this is a legitimate plot line. 1 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
