Not familiar with that, what's it about?

It's a series, sometimes mis-labeled as military sci fi by Lois Bujold.  There are some space battles and small unit actions, but they are really more about intrigue and such (perfect for gaming).

Space flight depends on wormholes, which are easy to guard; one ship comes through at at time.  Which means, as a character pointed out, the best way to capture a wormhole is from both sides at once; agents, sabatoge, etc.

the first couple have a women as main character to I got my wife started with those, and the rest have some strong female characters so she's reading the rest.  I started ahead of her and it's been fun visiting Miles again.

The first two about miles are free e-books from the Baen free library

I've been wanting a Savage Heavy Gear game. I've got a working conversion going, I even have a pretty good plot arc thought out. I just don't have the time or energy for running anything. (Stupid school and work schedule...)

I was going to run ORK! in savagfe worlds style. A cxomedy game about playing the bad guys. I can't get the conversion down though.

What system conversions are required? Why not just use standard Fantasy SW and sprinkle in ORK! attitude?

I want to keep the Broccli makes ORKS explode rule. What edge should they get to balance that?

if everyone is playing the same race, it doesn't really matter.

it's just a setting rule

Good point but I don't want the orks to be human in different skins. I am thinking they need some edges and hinderances.

In reply to shady joker (msg #452):

That should be easy enough. What common racial traits do you want orcs to have? What is listed in the SWEE, SWD, or SWFC (I don't have my copy of the rules with me)?

Usually Orcs are statted with
* size +1 (or Brawny) and
* Infravision.

Building them from SW Deluxe has them at
+2 for Size +1
+1 for Infravision

then probably a
-1 for -2 Charisma

then they'd be 'balanced' (mechanically speaking)

Yes but the orks in ork! do not have infravision. I'm thinbking of making them all +1 size and can choose an edge since everyone would be an ork!

"Standard" half-orcs get a Strength boost, which isn't really covered by the Size +1.

I am temp[ted to steal the 'RED MAN' from 50 Fathoms.

I am starting a bizzare game where you play a full blown DRAGON. You have a fief kingdom and handful of men under your command. You can expand your territory, fight off invading 'heroes' and basicly dragon it up with your fellow players. What do you think?

Working on a game right now where player characters would be vikings and warriors of Norse mythos.

If your interested here is the link to check it out. I will be using a premade adventure to start so it might just be a one shot if people are not interested:

I've been thinking about the world of Fable. It could be set in pretty much any Fable era, just shifting the technology levels around, but the core ideas would stay the same: You're a Hero, and have the ability to change the world based on your decisions. All Heroes are Wild Cards, and ONLY Heroes are Wild Cards.

I'm not really sure what I'd need to make this into a Savage Setting, but it's a start.

Secondly, the world of Brutal Legend could do with some Savaging. Magic based on music, armies of headbangers, groupies and roadies fighting impossible creatures, a neverending war over the spoils left behind by the Titans... It's a Savage World if ever there was one. The trouble is, I don't know enough about music to really set something like this up or get it going. Any ideas?

oi can some one here take over as gm for my games? i hate to leave my players hanging.

Which games? I'd be willing to take over gour Evernight game. At keast until your situatuon has worked itself out.

I have proposed, in Shady Joker's Rippers game, that we run it with the Mythic GM Emulator, if we do not get a volunteer to GM the game.  Does anyone here have experience running a game with MGME in a play by post environment?  I have used the fate table to help generate skirmish scenarios for miniatures games before, but that was face to face.

I have gained new gms for two of my games. I thank you all.

Okay.  I'm going to ask one more time before I have to really get nasty....and begin begging.  Will someone please run a Hell on Earth Reloaded game?  I want to play!

Nasty like....  Nuclear War nasty?  Heh

I am thinking about running the game since there are so many people asking. I've been watching the movie the Postman the last few morning and it has given me some decent ideas. However I've only played Deadlands once or twice. I know the basics but I am still trying to wrap my head around the changes that have been made now that it takes place years down the road.

It is coming just give me a chance. I'll be running a premade adventure if I run it to make sure I don't have to create everything from nothing.

Depending on the setting, you could start with some one-sheets.

or reskin a module from a different game, Savage Keep on the Borderland could be fun
