    Jmonty got a reaction from Sketchpad in Lucha Libre adventure   
    I am about to play a Lucha Libre adventure, as Master, and when we finish it I would like to make it available for everyone to play. So, the question is, may I post a link to the document in this forum?
    (It will be written in Spanish and translated to English in the same doc, with 4 Player Characters write-ups ready to start)

    I miss the good old days when you could find tens of character adaptations. We have even a Doctor House for Hero System back then, but now the magic is gone.

    I did a fight scene breakdown for Captain America a while back, using the scene from Winter Soldier in the elevator.  He ended up having something like a 40 Str and an 8 Speed.

    Well, I think in Medieval times the idea of "we could be better" equals "we could be rich, or Lords" for they knew about this people living better but had none or very little idea of improvements in technology. But money were not used as today, most peasant people never had a coin, they barter and pay taxes in goods. We are used to have coins in Fantasy games because is easier and we are used to money in real life. Not an expert in Medieval Economy myself but for sure there are interesting books about this topic (how much holidays peasants had, use of commond lands, etc).
     
    Also for the corruption, apart from the church may be the nobility has chances to plot for their gain, especially against the king.
     
    Migration for economic reasons is almost granted. More in the case of artisans or qualified workers. It is a thing of demand and offer, people travel if people of their village tell stories about their better life abroad, if there is no job for unqualified peasants because this jobs are covered few peasants will migrate (unless crossing the border could save them from famine or war) but your kingdom could be viewed as a "brain drainer". Guilds could be losing their apprentices.

    Just a few random thoughts wich may apply or not at all:
    If the kingdom is in an economic stage of Feudalism is hard to imagine a Social-democrat king "Olof Palme style". It has more sense in a context of absolutism, say Louis XIV with Illustration ideals. But this is fantasy, of course.
    The recruitment of the brightest childs to the state administration was practiced by Romans and Chinese, but the childs had to become eunuchs. So they will not use their power to enrich themselves and his family. The Romans had public basic education, by the way, until Christian Church took it over and do the privatization thing with it.
    Paganism had a strong communitary sense, it doesn't had this idea of "personal individual salvation" as the primary goal. Religious ideas come from material and social needs, if you follow the cultural materialism school of Anthropology.

    I’d say the hyper oxygenated blood from the third lung would give two benefits 
     
    1.)! Endurance costs halved across the board? At least remove altitude modifiers as they don’t suffer from hypoxia?
     
    2.) +50 percent stun to resists vacuum effects

    I wrote some rules for a Highlander game years ago, but I didn't write out the Prize. My reason was that winning it would likely end the campaign. However, I detailed some other powers, mainly from the first movie and the TV series. You can download the rules from this link if you're interested.

    Jmonty got a reaction from massey in 80s Action: Emperor Kurgan   
    OK, this is for action movie fans, 80s nostalgic:
     
    Remember the film "Highlander"? The first, the good one. Well, imagine The Kurgan killed McLeod and won The Prize.
    Now the villain has new powers and can rule the world, but there are some heroes in his path to power, heroes from this 80s movies we all love. And they will be the Player Characters, of course. Well, or may be not the same characters as McClane, Riggs, Rambo, Danko but based on this archetypes. I have a real difficult time to find action girls, though.
     
    The Prize may be some kind of Telepathy powers and limited Mind Control, apart from his strenght and skill boosted from the Quickenings. He can recruit lots of minions and lieutenants from the movies, or generic villains. He remains an immortal and can only be defeated by beheading.
     
    Kurgan knows who will fight against him (is a bit in touch with everyone's mind, like McLeod at the end of the flick, planetary Mind Scan?), so the first adventure could unite the PCs against the attempted assassination of them all.
     
    Minion ideas: The New World cult from "Cobra".
     
    Let the fun and homage begin.

    If we want to attract younger people one of the trends for them is still the Harry Potter universe. I was thinking of something in this style, only a bit more adult, or teenager. Not strictly for kids. May be something between Potter and The Magicians. Strict rules for magic (fixed lists of spells at first, for a quick start), a hidden world, some foes and conspiracies, real problems from the real world of a teenager (like in the Spiderman comics) and not just magical problems.
