gewing Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 does anyone have any game translation thoughts for this series? My mind has gone blank with thoughts of Ascendancy, Warrens, etc! How the heck would Warrens work? Some of the characters would frighten superheros easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorpheousXO Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Re: Gardens of the Moon-- How the heck??? I'm still reading this, so I can't help you. It should be doable though since the world was originally an RPG setting of the Author's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsoul Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Re: Gardens of the Moon-- How the heck??? The Malazan world is very cool and very worth converting. In fact its authors used it as a roleplaying setting and if you could contact them or find their website then you might get some pointers from the horse's mouth. There was a thread about this a while back, try this link http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1362541#post1362541 or search the forums for Malazan book of the fallen. My thoughts on Malazan magic are that mages would have a VPP with a list of abilities or perhaps just a theme relating to their warren. All mage's VPP's would contain a killing attack, (unleashing their warren), a dimensional travel, (visiting their warren), and a movement ability (travelling through their warren), although those last two might be the same. An example of a movement power is the ability granted by D'riss the Path of Stone that allows the mage to pass through stone. I'd also suggest that a party in this setting does not necessarily consist of people of equal power. And the path to ascendancy could be represented by new abilities becoming available and the character being placed on a sort of 'fast track' where experience is concerned. Good luck with this and don't be surprised if I pop up with more lectures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorpheousXO Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Re: Gardens of the Moon-- How the heck??? So far from what I've read (mostly through GotM), I agree with the VPP with a theme limitation. Other than that, it seems pretty simple, though as I said I've not read everything, and I really can't wait to read more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
