  4. Historical Late Medieval Period RPG

    Re: Historical Late Medieval Period RPG

     

    What do you mean by late Medieval? I'm guessing post Crusades (I'd call that era "High Medieval" myself), and pre Tudor (which I'd put as about the start of the Renn period).

     

     

    For this thread I am looking for things that would be distinct to a fairly historical Medieval setting. Anything that details Italy during this period would be a bonus.

    I just started playing CO and it did get me thinking about how these mini-missions could work in a tabletop version. I certainly wouldn't like to try it. This would be a nice fan-created project. What we really need are good maps that could be printed for use in a f2f game or used in something like maptool. I don't know if anyone has ever mad decent maps of Millennium City at street level.

    I am looking for a published RPG setting that covers the Late Medieval Period from a more historical point of view vs. the fantastic point of view. I want to use this as the foundation of a Hero campaign world that I then add my view of the fantastic.

     

    Any suggestions for a good read? Any system, as its just for inspiration.

     

    Thanks,

    The only question left remaining' date=' then, is what the [i']HAIL[/i] is John Hannah doing wasting his time in this drivel?

     

    Because it must have been incredible fun for him? He looked like he was having a total blast doing it.

    Re: 'Hero System' online

     

    Trevor Walker and I have spent nearly ten years building a GM tool to help run your combats and test your characters in combat. Until you actually try to write the code, you can't really see the type of complex modules and constructions you have to create to deal with all the features and options built in the Hero System through version 5E.

     

    It would be cool if we would finish it before a new version of Hero came out. :(

    Re: Young Players Campaign Characters

     

    Also just me' date=' but I would consider dropping the skill levels and putting the points into base OCV/DCV...[/quote']

     

    I'm still getting used to the fact you can buy OCV/DCV. I am trying to weight the cost of static OCV and DCV versus flexible OCV/DCV or an extra DC. I'll put some more thought into it.

     

    Thanks!

  20. Young Players Campaign Characters

    in Champions

    Posted

    I am running a campaign with mostly young players (not necessarily all young characters, though). My youngest daughter (age 7) is joining on Saturday. She came up with a martial artist that throws trick gumballs while wearing a fuzzy bunny suit. She continued to rattle off a large list of trick gumball powers and then explained how she wanted to "Kick Butt" with her martial arts.

     

    Here is what we came up with:

    Total Disadvantage Points: 398

     

     

    Background/History: Monica was ten years old when, on a family vacation, was in a plane crash. The small prop plan was piloted by her father. He died along with her mother. The other survivor was Monica's uncle Jack Embry. The pair were rescued, but Jack was paralyzed from the waist down. However, he insisted he could still care for Monica and after much red tape was awarded custody. Jack worked in his Chemistry lab at home and continued his work. Due to his long hours, he gladly paid for classes in Martial Arts. He was happy to see she might be able to protect her when he no longer could. Monica became very close to 'Unca Jack' and she became to show interest in his work. Without his consent, she began to take his work and fashion it into weaponry and together with her amazing Martial Arts prowess, she created the adventuring persona of Gumbunny.

     

    Personality/Motivation: Monica is a stubborn thirteen year-old teenager that things she always knows best. She loves her Uncle, but believes she is ready for the adventures of life. Her survival at the plane crash is just one example of her incredible luck. No matter how dire the situation becomes, she seems to come out unscathed.

     

    Quote: "Gee, ain't I a stinker?"

     

    Powers/Tactics: While Gumbunny's gum balls are extremely versatile and powerful, she loves to mix it up in hand-to-hand combat. She feels she can do no wrong, so an take a solid hit to wake her up and use more conservative tactics.

     

    Campaign Use: Gumbunny is a funloving and thrill seeking character. She shouldn't drag down a campaign. She should propel it forward with abandon.

     

    Appearance: Gumbunny wears a fuzzy pink bunny suit with a cross-body shoulder bag. One ear droops and she is generally blowing a large pink bubble.

    Re: New Package Deal(s)

     

    aren't they called humans?

     

    seriously, the differences between humans and the other apes is about zero.

     

    I don't know about you, but I think I'd take my chances with an unarmed adult male long before I got in the cage with an 400lb adult gorilla.
