Lucius Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... As bad as Wraith was' date=' Changeling was even worse. (Scroll down to "White Wolf's Changeling: The Lost." and prepare to lose SAN.) I liked Changeling. And Mage. Don't care for Vampires.

AnotherSkip Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... This of course assumes GURPS doesn't make your head explode. Actually, they only got through the Mage core before White Wolf pulled the plug on the GURPS conversions. (Why is something between the two companies; probably only those directly involved truly know). One of the settings that GURPS never got to was Wraith: the Oblivion, one of the great disasters of RPG history. You played a restless ghost who spends most of his time feeling awful, with limited interaction with the real world. It's sort of like an RPG about being in Hell or Limbo. It proved very unpopular and went almost completely unplayed. Errr try Playing "Changeling-the Incomprehensible Magic System" not only are you less powerful and interesting than mages but more 'ehhh who cares'.

Guest Celt Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Well, if you had a good comprehension of physics and could string a good line of BS to the GM, then you were pretty much a godling in Mage the Ascension.
